Summary of the Issue
I came back to this chromebook after a while and realized I need to update the firmeware. When attempting to do so with the script I got this…
ChromeOS Device Firmware Utility Script [2026-04-09]
(c) Mr Chromebox [email protected]
** Device: Lenovo 100e or 14e Chromebook / NEC Chromebook Y1
** Board Name: VILBOZ
** Platform: AMD Picasso

** [WP] 1) Install/Update UEFI (Full ROM) Firmware
** [WP] 2) Restore Stock Firmware
** 3) Backup Current Firmware
** [WP] 4) Flash Custom Firmware
** 5) Set Hardware ID (HWID)
** C) Clear UEFI NVRAM
Set Hardware ID (HWID) for UEFI Firmware
Current HWID is: VILBOZ360-[REDACTED]
WARNING: Changing HWID is not normally needed, and if you mess it up,
it could result in the wrong firmware being flashed, which will almost
certainly result in your device being bricked. Proceed at your own risk.
Really change your HWID? [y/N] N
Question
Do VILBOZ and VILBOZ360 share the same MrChromebox UEFI firmware binary, or are they different? My script detects VILBOZ but my HWID is VILBOZ360.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Run Firmware Script
-
Select option 5

See the output
Expected Behavior
Board Name should show as VILBOZ360 and Device should show as Lenovo 300e Chromebook Gen 3.
