I bought a chromebook in 2017 that I love. AUE is up in a few months. The OS has improved leaps and bounds since I got it. I wish it would keep getting updates.

Sadly it’s hard to flash a new boot loader as the write protect screw is in a difficult place and I’ll likely break something trying to get to it. I don’t know what I’ll do when AUE hits.

I guess it’ll be like my first gen iPad which I’m forced to use as a clock as there is little else I can do with the great hardware with locked down software.

You should be able to disable write protection on the firmware flash using a suzyq cable to enable closed case debugging as well, and from there disable write protection. The screw is not the only way

Thank you! I’ll have to look into this approach.
