HP Chromebook 13 G1: Script does nothing
Greetings friends,
Part of my job is to wipe Chromebooks using these scripts. However with this particular model I am having some trouble.

^as you can see when I try to install legacy firmware the script doesn't do anything and doesn't even give an error. Lamentably I'm not to familiar with the debugging options for these scripts. But I'd needed I can provide more system information.
Any idea as to what might be causing this to occur?

RW_LEGACY firmware is not supported for EOL devices; your terminal colors are causing the disabled/gray text to show up as white apparently. I'll add something to the script to be explicit about this
Installing RW_LEGACY firmware doesn't have anything to do with wiping the device, so I'm curious what you are actually trying to do?
You haven't disabled WP(write-protect).
that's not necessary to flash the RW_LEGACY firmware, but probably necessary to actually do anything useful with the device since it's EOL
I gotcha, I didn't know that these were EOL. Looks like I'll have to try another way then.
You're right, I'm just using the firmware to boot a USB to wipe it. I could have been more clear about that

and then what? A ChromeOS recovery USB will wipe it as well you know
Yes, the USB image that the company uses also collects system information and uploads it to a server so that the Chromebook can be inventoried
