Hi,
I'm the one who tried to help Carmelo. Unfortunately, after I opened this machine (Acer c720p, french keyboard) and removed the screw to enable writing on coreboot, it now refuses to access to seabios if I press CTRL + L has I did before so many times. It just emits a sound "bip" when doing so. I've put the screw back in, it's still the same.
Thus the fedora 20 I installed is now out of reach.
If I wait ~30 seconds, I've a second white screen proposing to reinstall ChromeOS using USB or SD. I hope I someone here can save me the trouble of reinstalling ChromeOS, then wipe it again, then reinstall Fedora 20 and reconfigure it...
Process I'm trying to get it working back: 1- using a distro (ubuntu 12.04 in my case) prepare an USB stick with chromeos recovery using this script : https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1080595 -> https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos/recovery/linux_recovery.sh 2- turn on os verification in coreboot 3- reboot and at the warning screen telling you chromeos is missing insert the USB stick. 4- I've a "unexpected error" during recovery process. :/
I'm stuck...
Best regards, Yannick

You need access to the chromeos-firmwareupdate script and flashrom as documented here:
http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2014-February/077158.html
You could ask your friend to copy chromeos-firmwareupdate as well as flashrom to your machine. The script is self hosting and flashrom is statically linked:
# ldd /usr/sbin/flashrom not a dynamic executable
