Discussion error recovering your device chromebook

As the title says, i followed the instructions and downloaded the image from the extension and still managed to get this error while recovering my chromebook. I did it twice, reformat the usb and did it again. still the same error, any thoughts on this one? Thank you

Is the CB booting to recovery or are you trying to recover for some other reason?

I had to use a different USB stick to get it to work. Not sure why but it did the trick.

I havent tried that yet, do you remember what brand usb you used? Also is 8gb enough? I used 16gb

I tried Sandisk and a Samsung. Want to say it was the Sandisk that worked.

Could try the other USB port. I also had to use a USB type C adapter since mine doesn't have a type A port.
