Useful bash utility scripts for Chrome/Chromium OS systems.
Neverware disables the ability to perform a powerwash in CloudReady and Google disables execute permissions on certain directories to protect Chromium OS. These scripts are useful to powerwash your Chromebook and reset to the factory settings, install, remove or update Chromebrew or remove rootfs verification and mount your filesystem to be read/write.
If used improperly, these scripts can render your system useless. Please proceed with caution and do not execute unless you know what you're doing. Review the References section below to understand the impact of the changes. As true of any open source software, I'm not responsible if you brick your system.
