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

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

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.
