Hi! I have been following MrChromebox and the Chrulta guides to remove write protection on my ASUS C423Na chromebook, and have got as far as disconnecting the battery.
With the battery disconnected, it seems to be stuck trying to boot, flashing the OS verification screen. If i press esc, refresh and power i can access the recovery screen but ctr-D does not do anything. I have seen others with this model have success with removing write protection, but no fixes for this issue.
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.
the docs are explicitly clear: you need to put the device into Developer Mode first, then disable WP by booting without the battery connected.
If your device doesn’t boot without the battery connected, you can try using a different charger, but if that doesn’t work you’ll need to use a SuzyQ to disable WP.
The laptop is in developer mode and I am using the original charger.
I am also inclined to think that WP cannot be disabled with the battery on this device. Thankyou for confirmation.
if you’re in Developer Mode, and the device powers on to the developer mode boot screen, then it should be possible. I would try another charger first
