No Linux support. Pretty damn dumb when Chrome is built on Linux.

I had to restart the process, allow it to explicitly erase the USB stick (I had already formatted it but allowing this tool to do it erased the partitions too), and then try a second time. That time it worked... but ChromeFlex really needs a pretty fast USB storage device to work or you end up with critical errors that cause it to go into a "Powerwash" cycle. This extension can be used to create a USB disk that will act as an installer, but even though you're supposed to be able to try it out just running from any USB with >8GB of space, trying it out that way didn't work. A better way to approach it is to allow Windows to create restore media (so you can at least get Windows back if things don't go well), and then install ChromeOS Flex from the USB. I almost gave it 3 stars because it does eventually work, but had to give it 2 because you need to know what you're doing.

only works on ChromeOS, MS Windows, and MacOS...need a solution for Linux.

Best OS Ever!!!!

Great way to resuscitate a Windows 10 PC if Microsoft won't allow Windows 11 on it. Rated 4 stars instead of 5 because Google won't let you download a standard ISO file, or at least let the Chromebook Recovery Utility work on Linux.

great tool to setup chromeOS on a pc. good job on the recovery tool can be used to flash Flex onto a windows or linux pc or Mac. Just choose flex as ur device in the device list and boom chromebox on steroids. i dont understand why the rating is so low maybe you should DYOR before judging this guys its a great tool. if it fails you need to check the configuration of the pc and the drive it has to be able to read and write or it will fail you have to give it admin privileges or it cant do what it is designed for also check for a little sorta clear colored plastic "door" a little switch on the drive it is a lock to where a pc cant read or write to the disk make sure it is set to unlocked position not all but some drives have them

installed extension, ran it and it stalls and locks up. Recovery USB cannot be created.

It works pretty well, I used it to help mod my Chromebook. I gave it 4 starts because I encountered a bug where everything looks glitchy

An astonishing number of negative reviews come from users who clearly don’t read even the basic installation instructions. As a result, they run into problems of their own making and then blame the system. In reality, the installation works very well and without complications if you simply follow the steps as instructed. ChromeOS Flex itself is stable, but not without flaws. There are minor bugs, and some hardware features are simply not supported – for example, the keyboard backlight on the Lenovo X13 Yoga does not work.

0 stars - followed instructions (below) ------------- 2 - At the top right of your browser window, click Extensions . - Select the Chromebook Recovery Utility extension. <-- not possible. Extn installed but doesn't do anything. 3 - Click Get started. <-- don't I wish I could ------------ ^ Steps do NOT WORK. Period. "Extension" does not open/respond/or anything. So can't create recovery media, and as a result my Chromebook is now a paperweight. I can see from others' comments I'm not the only one to have this issue. Google - Maybe ChromeOS is a good OS, but we'll never know. Do better.
Kingsley Mok
What? No ISO?????? I just want the damn ISO!!!!!
Lenny Bielski
Almost impossible to install ChromeOS Flex. Absolutely no download links, nor any system installation links provided. Google support pages next to useless with no links provided to do the task. Installation of Chromebook Recovery Utility, a waste of time. Again no links to even begin ChromeOS Flex installation available.

Was unsure about using this with all of the bad reviews but it worked perfectly for me. I had some help from ChatGPT to get me through an obstacle but after that...smooth sailing.
Mark Mason
Spent a couple hours on what ought to have been the 15-20 minute task of making a bootable USB stick to trial Chrome OS Flex on my expiring Windows 10 laptop. Total accumulated download progress: Zero percent. Not even sure it was zero percent as there were no signs whatsoever of any activity at all. Tried various Reddit offered fixes, ran as admin, reformatted USB with diskpart, etc. Zip.

not working
Bong Quines
canot ger started, unhelpful
Vamsi Vasireddy
very nice-can install chromeOS flex on my hard drive
Troy Fugnitti
This never ever works. If there was a way to give a negative number. I would |0|
Berea Owino
A zero star rating is in order here. No matter where I click on the page the utility launches a duplicate inactive page that does not respond to any other clicks anywhere on the page. It basically is setting the focus in a locked field on a separate page entirely would be my guess.

cant get started

Truly this not reformat your HDD but just erase something. If hacker have your Chromebook compromised, nobody and nothing help you - period. Google even never. If you recover Chromebook, be aware not share your password with others around. It is very simple find out, if chromebook is yours or hackers.
KinSeng Yong
not working
Harris Cheung
It doesn't work I waited for 2 hours for it and it didn't work. Thanks Foogle.
Jacob Brokes
If it "broke" your USB drive, try formatting your USB drive. Look it up if you don't know how to do that. Apparently, the extension also has an "Erase recovery media" option that can also help. This tool is awesome. Yes, you can use it for recovering Chromebooks. But the cool part is the fact that you can use it to flash just about any ISO from the browser! Without installing a separate program! Even if you're not on ChromeOS! That's awesome imo.

Worked everytime for me W Devs ^_^

This recovery Utility helps not only save time on my computer yet my students who frequently use there stunning laptops within school hours. Managing my time when starting out as a professor is not easy, nor is it simple for the children to watch me go in a state of limbo or purgatory. Yet my embarrassing problems came to an end when I installed chrome recovery Utility, a life changing event so spectacular one of my students in hysteria yelled, "Mr. Schwartz is a genius he figured out his computer!" Thank you google and we here at our community college will thank you eternally.
Ethan Chandler
did not work maybe if google cared enough the would update it
Ajeef Chowalloor
If anyone got issues with USB you can fix it. Open disk management and click removable device and fix it. Refer Youtube or Chatgpt for more.
Leana MCCAIN
it doesn't work and it hasn't been updated since 2024
Peter Robinson
pathetic. can not erase and reformat anything once this app has killed your USB device. google's long term persistence to own hardware is untenable, I hope it leads to a worldwide class action
Zayd Zaman
Would put 0 star if possible. Trying to fix Chromebook that's not working by recovering with a new version. Keeps exiting with the same error code: Unknown error: CHROMEOS_IMAGE_BURNER_ERROR. Please try again. Messed up a perfectly good USB of mine.
Chuck Poole
It no longer works
Katarina Solaković
so good working like hell
Sebastian Ghenciu
broke my usb
Gomer Pyle
Fried my USB drive. DONT USE THIS.
William Hunt
Do not use this if you're trying to make a bootable drive, lost a 128 gb 3.0 USB drive while trying to fix my PC. Though the process ran smoothly when I was still clueless as to whether or not my USB drive would work after the formatting process. Just hoping there's a way I can repair my USB drive now, seeing as it cost me 20$ only to have it be bricked by the extension I was trying to use just to make the damn thing able to install Windows 10 (I used the .bin file renaming method.)

I already tried this more than 6 or 7 times, it kept saying the same thing like "Download interrupted, please check your network connection and try again" again and again, what did I do wrong? My internet connection is totally fine.
sledman
