I would give it 5 stars if I didn't have to uninstall and reinstall it every time I want to use it

Not sure what all of the negative reviews are about. Haven't ever had issues with Chromebook Recovery Utility. Thanks, Google, for a very useful tool!

To be honest, does not work how i like, tried installing BlendOS on my FydeOS after i realized 99% of apps i use will refuse to work on ChromeOS/Chromium-based operating systems, But it gave me "This USB is unsupported" Real useful-ness but i guess it depends on what ChromeOS device you really have, Like example: Lenovo chromebooks or etc, Im only giving it 3 stars since it would totally work on other devices, but just not mine :sad:

Works like an absolute charm. For those who it didn't work its because its a school chromebook and you will nee to do some adjustments but generally for a normal user this programm works perfect. Just DONT move the usb not even a little bit you will need to restart the process

Meli Vyruz2025年1月7日

I'm trying to figure out where the ChromeOS recovery tool downloads images files to because the image it downloaded is too big for my c drive, and I need to delete said file, but it isn't in my downloads folder obviously, so where would it have been put?

Lukas Z2025年1月6日

Excellent for what I wanted! I bought a cheap Chromebook awhile ago and I realized I still had it. So I used a spare sd to put Linux on it. It works perfect to dual boot besides the files being lost. My only issue is how can you read the sd/usb without resetting it

Creates bootable recovery media (USB drives and SD cards) for Chromebooks, OnHub routers, ChromeOS Flex, and Google Meet Compute Systems

Helps users reinstall or recover ChromeOS on their devices when the operating system is corrupted, needs to be reinstalled, or when setting up ChromeOS Flex on non-Chromebook hardware

1. Click extension icon → opens popup window. 2. Welcome screen loads recovery configuration from dl.google.com. 3. Select device model (auto-detected via hwid or manually chosen). 4. Insert USB drive or SD card and select it as target. 5. Confirm and click 'Create now' to write recovery image. 6. Wait for download and write to complete. 7. Done — use recovery media to recover device.

Target users: Chromebook owners needing OS recovery / Users installing ChromeOS Flex on non-Chromebook hardware / IT administrators managing ChromeOS devices / OnHub router owners needing firmware recovery / Google Meet Hardware administrators

The compiled AngularJS app (app_compiled-bundle.js at 5.5MB) is too large to fully inspect, but core workflow is well-documented through locale strings and HTML templates
Analytics tracking to google-analytics.com is present but does not affect login or paid features assessment

Monetization

No paid features detected

This is a free Google utility tool with no payment, subscription, premium tier, or billing code. All 'pro' keyword matches are false positives hitting 'process', 'product', 'procedure' in localization strings (e.g., 'Select a product', 'recovery process'). The 'billed' match is a false positive hitting Danish 'afbrudt' (interrupted). No payment platforms, no upgrade UI, no license checks.

Confidence: 99
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a standalone local utility that uses Chrome's native APIs (chromeosInfoPrivate, imageWriterPrivate, fileSystem) to create recovery media. The workflow (select device → select target drive → write image) requires no authentication. All keyword matches for 'auth', 'session', 'token', 'userid' are false positives from Closure Library license text (AUTHORS), analytics session tracking, and autocomplete UI code tokens—not actual login flows.
