Do not follow the onscreen instructions to turn OS verification on, or you risk wiping your machine’s data and turning Developer Mode off. Your device will now transition to Developer Mode.Įvery boot thereafter will also begin with that warning screen, and a need to press Ctrl-D to continue. You will need to press Ctrl-D to continue. When you boot up your Chromebook, it will begin with a warning screen noting that “OS verification is OFF”. Ubuntu Linux (version 16.04 - Xenial) This is the only officially support distro, but building Chromium OS should work fine on any x8664 Linux distro running a 2.6.16+ kernel a 64-bit system for performing the build an account with sudo access Install the git and subversion revision control systems, the curl download helper, and lvm tools. You will be prompted with an opportunity to “turn OS verification OFF”.

It will automatically configure your DCHP connection. You need to use an RJ45 network cable (in this case also an RJ45 to Thunderbolt adapter) and reboot the OS.
