This comment is great, because otherwise it does seem basically necessary to log into a Google account after enabling Developer mode in order to update the firmware.

However, even though `sudo bash` or `sudo -s` has worked out fine for the parent commenter, there is a note at [0] that says, """IMPORTANT: ...Also, you must execute these commands *as a normal/non-root user*. Running them as root will break things. DO NOT RUN 'SUDO SU' BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT CMD BELOW."""

Thus, a question is: does the parent comment's method ignore the warning at [0] about using sudo to run the firmware update command? (If so, at what risk, and, if any, is there a workaround to mitigate that risk?)
