Thank you !!! this method allowed me to update my old chromebook acer c720p which no longer had an update (and could not launch android apps). Everything works perfectly !! the chromebook now allows me to use android applications!
Which CPU is in your C720p?
Thank you so much 👍 for your big shaoutout sir ! I am glad everyone is loving the installation process,Thanks again for speeding awareness.
Will this method get automatic updates or will we have to go through the process for each update?
After installation my hard drive does't appear in the boot options anymore. Any idea?
@@LucasLimaDuailibe Same situation over here, it installed successfully but it won't boot
Can anyone help me? My Notebook uses the Intel Celeron 723 1.2 GHz processor, 250HD, 2 RAM.
I did everything according to the orientation of the video, but when I go from boot after installed, the message appears: Missing OS. Can anyone help me, my PC is compatible?
Hi, is it possible to remove chrome os and go back to windows?
Thanks so much for this wonderful and very detailed tutorial. It helped me to give a 2nd chance to my very limited Celeron, 32 GB emmc storage and 2 GB RAM laptop. I wasn't even allowed to update Windows 10, and the performance was terrible. Thank you again.
Does it work?
@@just.nobody Yes, it does. At least, it did to me.
@@Waldillogrillo Thanks for the information, I was considering to upgrade my 2nd gen i3, 2GB ram laptop. I was so worried, if it'll work? Now, I'll try upgrading it.
How do you installed it to your emmc storage for me it always says : is not a valid disk name . t doesnt work with dev/mmclbk0
I am NII from Ghana.... followed step by step and its working perfectly...… thanks bro
Extremely impressed with this. I made the "magic mint USB stick" 6 months ago when you released this video. Recently I treated myself to an Intel amber lake Y SBC PC. Today I came across the old USB stick, and thought "why not?". Wow! It's awesome 😃

I have ADHD and following instructions is always a challenge for me.. however with your help and hours of toil.. I was able to get this done..
a HUGE THANK YOU..
I saw that this video is from a year ago and thought it won't work, but it's fully working on my HP 250 g7 i3 processor
I didn't encounter any problems while following this video's instructions.
Thank you very much
5 Stars! Had a little trouble running the brunch files but eventually got them to work. I put this on 3 old inspiron 11 laptops and it improved the speed extremely well. Would recommend you do this to any old computer that you don't use. Perfect for kids who need a computer for school work and just simple web usage like UA-cam. For the price of a 32G flash drive, you can turn any old computer into a perfectly suitable chromebook.
i was installing chrome os in my old laptop but when i restart it didnt detect os so i had to install linux. but its fine linux does not need fast computers, so my laptop is runnig 5x faster then it was.
do u need 32 gb?
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for putting your time into making it! I think Chrome OS with both Google Play Android apps and Linux apps is the perfect mix for a modern Linux environment. I mean, I never got super excited about running Linux alone, nor Chrome OS. Now I can have the best of not one, not two, but of three worlds! I'm so excited!
Well, there is Anbox
@@circuit10 Yeah, I know. I've tested it before, but I was very disappointed that it didn't run most of the apps I personally needed it to and, those that it ran, it was super buggy. But thanks for mentioning it, anyway.
@@medeirosdez True
Your the reason why all my electronics still work. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos 😎 thank you.
works without any major issues. Keyboard backlight doesn't work, and it doesnt get automatic updates, but a great educational demo.
This is insane ! I was about to throw away my surface 3 (non-pro) which was useless since it has only 64go and 2gig ram and it was soooo slow with windows and with any kind of linux it was crashing wifi. I was about to give up but i saw your video and BOOM it works so freakin well ! SO THANK YOU Kedar ! so much. and ETA because i saw this video first on your chanel.
Today we can use chrome os flex…
@@abhisaini894 Tried Flex yesterday on Surface 3, performance is amazing but no touch screen, sound or bluetooth sadly
Finally Chrome OS . I was tired of those ChromiumOS videos.
Why? They both do the same thing.

Thank You!!!
I converted my Dell inspiron 5548 5th gen 4gb ram
and now its running super smooth and fast. its like a new device.
I get a missing OS problem after installing ChromeOS.
Me too
I tried this twice, and on both occasion the installation failed. Everything went fine until I booted the device; my laptop just won't boot with chrome OS, it asks me to insert a boot device again.

This brought new life to my expensive google pixelbook gen1 laptop. Google dropped support for it and i had loaded the coolstar full UEFI firmware and was already running cloudready but this gives me back full chrome support and google play.
CAN I REVERT BACK TO WINDOWS 10 WITH A PENDRIVE WITH WINDOWS IMAGE ON IT?
Almost had me until you added the Android app and see that it contains ads- thank you. You've resolidified my resolve towards Linux.
I would love to see emulation testing on this
just a comment, you don't really have to go back to windows to edit your install script. do it on linux mint..
I was thinking the same thing. Only thing I can figure is he's catering to Windows users, but it's still easy to do on Mint. Especially since he's already directing users to open that folder. 🤷♂️
Yes, this is a really crazy suggestion IMHO. Even a simple text editor, like nano from the command line, or Mousepad or whatever is installed by default as the GUI alternative, can be explained in a few seconds even to a "dumb windows mouse user", most of which won't have Notepad++ on their Windows box anyway. They will run into trouble due to the line endings anyway when they try to edit the file with Notepad, or even more trouble after having tried Word instead...
@@BenReese but the file opens as read only, so no way to edit the file directly or even save on desktop, edit and copy back doesnt work. I think because usb is mounted as cd drive, any way around this?
I went back to windows and edit that way instead.
@@benhetland576 For everyone that keep saying you can just edit your install script, that's the catch with this being a live cd is that the drive is mounted as read only. Unless a persistant store was created as part of the live cd OR chromeOS was actually copied into the live cd system image, otherwise you really can't just "edit" it. The alternative is to just copy the contents into the live cd home directory (if your drive is large enough) and then modify it there. If your drive isn't large enough, copy just the install.sh, and change the directory to ChromeOS-install.sh and rammus_recovery.bin to absolute paths instead of relative.
Yeah... I was thinking the same thing, he was running a live environment which is limited but OFC it can edit files!!!
When I run the install.sh script i don’t get the question that you get, confirm with yes to wipe the drive.
It looks like there’s something wrong with the chromeos-install.sh file. I thought it could be a drive name thing as my laptop has an mmcblk1 instead of sda but that’s not it
When i extract the chromeos folder, it only gives me one file, a bin file
SHOCK!! 😲 ..great to see Kedar putting something up that actually works, and is not EMP/Jamming based or basically BS
Thanks for doing a video on this. I tried some really janky ways of getting actual chrome os on one of old Surface Pro tablets, but it never worked. I'm about to try this method!
UPDATE 2:26am - That worked perfectly! I now have Chrome OS on my Surface Pro 2 and so far everything is working without any problems.
UPDATE Next day: Everything is working really well....except sleep. The display will turn off, but only for a minute or two and then it comes back on. When I specifically put it to sleep, it won't come out of sleep. I have to reboot unfortunately. I'm going to try on a desktop and see if that persists. If anyone has an idea why it won't sleep properly, I am all ears!
im using a surface 3 and i got the cgpt and abuntu erros. did you get them also?
the developer of brunch uses a surface as his test machine for brunch
@@OmarGbits I had to install the figlet, pv and cgpt apps before it would continue.
@@Viking8888 Thanks man. It sounds stupid but the error i got was because it disconnected from the internet but now everything is good snf running on the surface. I do have an all in one Dell that doesn't let me install chrome os but I was able to leave Linix Mint so it'll be fine for now
@@OmarGbits Is sleep working for you?

12:24 "cgpt needs to be installed first" ??? please help
Outstanding! I got this to install and run on an circa-2014 Asus T100TA (with a
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3740 @ 1.33GHz, which is a Bay Trail proc, with 2GB RAM and 64GB SDD), after not being able to get CloudReady to USBboot. It's a 64bit proc, but the UEFI is 32bit. I couldn't get Mint 19 liveUSB to to boot, but I was able to get the ElementaryOS 5.1.7 distro to liveUSB boot. Once I got that (and after changing the install.sh script to account for the correct drive), Chrome OS installed pretty smoothly. So far, most all the hardware is working on Chrome OS, although not the webcam. I used Brunch r86 k4.19 stable 20201014 and Rammus 86. Thanks!
I love your videos man. You really helped me out. I turned a severely under-powered windows 10 laptop into a Chromebook. Its perfect for on the go note taking and word processing.
Your tutorial is remarquably precise, detailled, clear, concise and easy to understand, you are a natural born teacher. I installed Chrome OS on a ASUS S 551 L with a 1 Tb HHD and Core i7 Intel CPU and a touch screen. The only problem is Google play that do not work. But I still am very pleased with the result.
Did you try installing apk for the apps that you need ?
Hello! Everything seemed to go smoothly until the chrome OS installation. First it says Brunch installed (and not Chrome OS) and when I reboot it the PC just says there is no operating system.
Try reinstalling
Or taking 2 usb of 8gb each
Then installing
This is great! Thanks for such a clear tutorial. Took 20 minutes and done. My Surface Pro 3 is now a Chromebook
How? I did everything correctly and then of course the very last step I don't get the "delete everything and reboot" option I get a stupid "syntax error near unexpected token"
Install android x86
surface laptops are pretty good tho.
This is amazing!! You have just brought life back to my old Chromebox that stopped getting updates! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Hi how did you install on a chromebox ? Would love to do this on an old chromebook.
This worked perfectly for me! Thanks to you I was able to help my mom restore her old laptop that was running slow with windows, much appreciated!
which chrome os File you use for that ,
i didn't find the brand he notice in the video
@@medmed1767 If I recall correctly I ran with Rammus since her processor was a 6th Gen.
ok thank you for that 👍👍
I came across your video and I never thought I needed this in my life! Had an old Acer laptop with an atom processor lying about, which had about 500-600MB of free space after win 10 update. The install was a breeze. Glad I went with samus instead of rammus recovery file. I almost went with rammus. Got a bit nervous when I removed the USB drive and the screen froze after the installation. Restarted and ChromeOS booted normally. Had another minor scare when the screen said "Loading bunch framework" and below that "ChromeOS rootfs is being rebuilt due to an update or a change in options. Please be patient as it can take a few minutes" waited a while and finally got myself a Chromebook! Sorry for the long comment though. Went through the other tutorials, but yours is just perfect. I'm now subscribed!
PS: I have 32 gigs of total storage on my laptop. As per the settings ChromeOS uses about 14.4GB which left me with 17.6GB.
same here with a 5 year old old asus t100han transformer book. tried multiple linux distros only to find out that chrome os works best on it driver wise. did you find out how to update chromeos manually considering you installed it 4 months before i did? it doesn't find updates for me and im on rammus build 94.0.
@@jtz7070 So far I haven't updated it yet. I doubt sammus will be updated. In case of rammus, i suppose you'll need to go through the whole process considering the version of the file changes. Since the version is not exactly official, we won't get automatic updates. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way. Let me know if you're able to. Good luck!
@@nitishpai788 it's a recovery image that you ar eflashing onto the device so you are probably right. i was just thinking that there might be a way for it to find updates anyway.
Hello, I have Acer Aspire E5-522G AMD Laptop. Shall I go with SAMUS or continue with RAMMUS, Thanks...
I've been looking for this kind of tutorial 🙌🏾
Thank you ETA PRIME so much I am actually typing this from my "chrome OS" computer
Thanks
Thank kedar nimbalkar
I did a tripple boot system with it
I just love your videos!! YOu are just perfect! You care for your viewers, you tell us absolutely every single small step to do everything.
This recovery image will only work with Intel CPUs.
I had to use the grunt recovery image for my AMD based laptop and edit the file name in the install.sh file
Hi, Thank you so much for this video. I tried it on Surface Go (1st Generation) and it works mostly!
What's working
- Attached Keyboard
- Sleep when covered.
- Wifi
- USB-Docking hub (USB LAN, USB Mouse working, HDMI display out)
- volume buttons
- Power button. Single press to sleep, press and hold for power menu options
- Touchscreen
What's not working
- Auto rotation
- Camera
- No audio to TV when playing media files (youtube is okay)
Can I find out which forum is the best to ask about Brunch/Chrome OS for Surface Go devices?
Dive to settings for the auto rotation or install an app like force orientation. So it will be forced into landscape mode. Maybe this will work
Oh Oh. Microsoft is not going to like what I just have done!......I turn my old Surface Pro into a Chromebook! Thanks for your help here. Really like it.
Yeah Microsoft will like that lol
Glad the people who have commented before me had great success. I on the other hand, now have two boat anchors with no OS.
Thank you very much! It helped me a lot 🔥and gave my low end pc another chance 😀😅
Edit: I have installed v97. Works but, sometime it lags. Overall, Usable 😀. Able to run many tabs without Lag and good for teams meetings(web version on chrome).
My laptop specs are:-

hey can you help me?
@@Ninja_Hattori_hindi_dub what's your problem
@@Ninja_Hattori_hindi_dub I some time I used the chrome OS but I realised it had many bugs like apps not loading, glitches on screen, etc... And shifted to Linux mint. It is far better. You should shift to Linux mint to, as it is one of the safest and it works smoothly even on very low end pc. I have 2 GB ram pc, then also I have installed virtual box on Linux mint and ran MS DOS and Windows XP 😀. Which means 3 Os in 1 low end laptop running smoothly 😀😀🔥, and now downloading windows 7, hope it works, 🤞🤞
For those who have Nvidia GPU and are getting stuck at the white Chrome OS loading screen, here is the fix - you need to add this line "module_blacklist=nouveau" to the kernel command line ( just after "cros_debug" ) in the grub menu. Hope this helps 🙂
So, this will make sure the open source NVIDIA drivers don't load right? Does that mean it uses the binary drivers from NVIDIA? Is there a way to configure that?
@@megan_alnico Sorry I haven't actually tested the graphics acceleration for nvidia cards. As of now intel works perfectly, For nvidia I'll have to test with some linux apps too.
Hi, I have an iMac 27 inch late 2013 with Nvidia GPU and I get stuck at Patches are being Applied which the last step to start chrome os. this is related to Nvidia GPU as you stated above? How can I edit the kernel command line? Using what app and on which system? thank you!
While I'm personally comfortable going traditional linux? For people who aren't, or really only need chrome/android apps? This is a good way to breath some life in older hardware.
It's the perfect middle ground for doing everything.
I like linux but I'm still very new to it.
With this I can get about 90% of the apps I like very quickly and comfortably but then I can still get some of my games and things like gimp with linux.
I am more comfortable with a full blown linux distro, but I do not want Chrome and all of its google stuff to contaminate mental my workspace. I only boot into windows once in a long while for chrome syncing.
I just triple booted this on top of linux and windows. It feels faster than windows and the use of android apps to substitute is working well for me.
@Adrián B.V. yeah
Easily installed no need to bug test and asking Google for 15 different terminals while not knowing what's going on.
I'm talking about the average person trying to run a laptop nice and simply
Not someone moving too an entirely new way of thinking.
@Adrián B.V. I'm talking about commands not literal terminals dude

Same problem, did you find a solution?
I followed all steps. Installed successfully. But after rebooting black screen is showing up with white blinking cursor. Tried several times , same issue.
Does anyone know solutions?
Happens to me also on a gateway pc. Thinking it’s bc my laptop is a 32bit whereas in the comments someone said it only works on 64bit
I have the same issue
The same thing happens after I imaged Linux Mint OS to a older dell laptop. (Latitude i5-3rd Gen. wiped clean the 260g HDD) Black Screen white blinking cursor. Except after 5 seconds or so it stops and then Linux Mint OS starts and has run fine. Never planned on using Chrome on that machine. Have successfully imaged chrome OS using ramus to a i5-7Gen PC. Have not tried out samus for any 3rd gen or below CPUs yet. Sorry, not a solution but maybe it will help.

This is a pinned comment on Kedar's video. Be sure to like HIS video and comment also. Trying it now.
"Choose the right recovery image(if rammus not worked):
"rammus" is the recommended image for devices with 4th generation Intel CPU and newer.
"samus" is the recommended image for devices with 3rd generation Intel CPU and older.
"grunt" would be the image to use if you have an AMD CPU but the chances that it will work are low.
after downloading rename the recovery to rammus_recovery.bin even if you downloaded other recovery file." - Kedar Nimbalkar
Thank you so much for this! It worked amazing on My Acer Aspire E15 (E5-575). I replaced the HDD with a 256GB Silicon Power SATA SSD and it now runs chromeos like a beast! ChromeOS is so amazing on lower end hardware, just like Linux is (which I guess it kind of is)!

Fantastic video, the instructions work perfectly! Has anyone come across an issue whereby Chrome OS would freeze at random intervals when playing a video or an Android game? I've installed it on a couple of devices with pretty decent specs (Core i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD) and noticed this issue, everything would lock up for around 15 seconds. Sound would stutter and you cannot click on anything on screen. It would then recover itself like nothing had happened and proceed smoothly until the next instance occurred.
Thanks. Does this work for older BIOS Legacy Intel systems?

bro i did it, i was stuck at the screen when i use rammus recovery, after that i changed to grunt's, it didnt work, lastly i changed to zork's recovery image, and it worked for me. you just need to determine your processor, is it an Intel or Amd?
@@xunxiangtan7985 AMD
I waited a looooooong time for a chrome os solution like this!
But... there is a problem. on every pc i installed chrome os, android simulation only works the first time and if i shut down the computer and restart it android simulation is just broken. (the Android services don't even start, endless loading animation. even the play store doesn't start.)
I H8 LIFE!
After reboot system showing no os installed even after successful completion of all the step
this happened to me what happened to me is i installed the os to my usb not the hard drive and made the usb unbootable and i had to install linux again so IN ORDER TO FIX THIS you have to make sure that install.sh has the right letters or numbers at the end
If I do this method, will I be able to update ChromeOS?
I believe this is more vital to use towards Cpu's like Intel Duo core 2, or the Intel core I3. Because CPU's like the i5 and i7 are still used widely, and produce minimal thermal issues.
Not necessarily core i3
So I just want to clarify, when you do a sudo reboot after you install chrome os do you at that point yank the USB out? Assuming the PC or laptop would actually want to restart. Or does it shut off and then you can safely remove the USB? Also if I have a blank ssd installed in a laptop can I still boot into the laptops bios? Cheers.
To answer your questions:
1. You pull the USB out just before rebooting.
2. Yes, you can still access the BIOS. The BIOS is stored on the motherboard.
How about updates to ChromOS security and OS updates in general? Would you have to go through this setup each time there is a significant update?
I'd be surprised if it didn't update automatically
I wanted to try out chromeos before buying a Chromebook. Thanks man ! Worked perfectly 👌

There is no option for uefi, secure boot is disabled, pls tell me how to install uefi, the laptop is connoi student laptop with intel atom n455 something..., 1 gb ram, had activated windows 7 ultimate earlier...
You cannot install UEFI. It’s either included as part of your BIOS or it’s not. UEFI became common a few years ago. Older computers didn’t have it
If you computer is missing os, then you didn’t install properly or you have to set your BIOS/legacy/UEFI settings properly

Thx mate, this will defentely convince my parents to let me reinstall that old dustblower with a faster operating system than windows, they're sceptical about linux because they don't know it(I use linux everyday and have it installed on all my computer, it's totally amazing) but they know what chromeos can do.
the funny part is that Chrome os is basicaly a linux distro(I know it's not but it's as if)
@@loic7867 Chrome OS is a Linux distro. It is based on Gentoo Linux
