• 0:00
  i came across just in the last 24 to 36 hours
• 0:04
  i came across a lot of videos uh even some reddit
• 0:07
  posts about people that are upset in regards
• 0:11
  to this google book and are flat out just returning
• 0:14
  it now some of those people that are returning
• 0:16
  it are returning it because of software there
• 0:19
  are not necessarily issues but you know they
• 0:21
  just can't really fit it in their workflow they
• 0:23
  can't really justify a thousand dollar glorified
• 0:27
  tablet uh now some some are returning theirs
• 0:32
  because of a boot loop issue now if you're not
• 0:35
  familiar what a boot loop issue is let me show
• 0:38
  you exactly what a boot loop issue is uh google
• 0:43
  book doing the same exact thing like after it
• 0:45
  updates like brad's been doing this probably
• 0:49
  for like the past five to ten minutes or whatever
• 0:51
  and it keeps going back to the same exact screen
• 0:54
  it's kind of diabolical okay that is a boot loop
• 1:05
  issue a boot loop issue is and it predominantly
• 1:08
  happens when you update software on a electronic
• 1:14
  indoor mobile device it's essentially not booting
• 1:18
  into the operating system a boot loop is just
• 1:21
  like the like the term it's it's booting up and
• 1:25
  it's in a loop so it'll just go to the boot screen
• 1:27
  it'll just go to the boot screen restart go to
• 1:30
  the boots boot screen restart go to the boot
• 1:32
  screen and it just continually does that or it'll
• 1:35
  do that until the battery dies now if you get
• 1:38
  in that situation i tried to reach out to that
• 1:41
  gentleman but i didn't get any response i'm like
• 1:43
  yo i'm reaching out to all like to to this guy
• 1:46
  no response i'm reaching out to motorola nothing
• 1:49
  one plus i'm like are my are my dms getting sent
• 1:54
  out i'm like anyways he didn't respond but it's
• 1:58
  all good maybe i'll forward him this video and
• 2:01
  if he watches it cool if not whatever but he
• 2:03
  does mention on his youtube channel he's going
• 2:05
  to return it and i'm like no need to return it
• 2:07
  i know how to fix it but of course he he doesn't
• 2:10
  respond anyways let me show you how to fix this
• 2:12
  because i'm going to make an individual video
• 2:14
  out of this i'm going to cut this little section
• 2:16
  out upload it so people can view this and find
• 2:20
  out how to fix their google book it's pretty
• 2:23
  easy now just like chrome os just like a chromebook
• 2:29
  google has a firmware that they upload to their
• 2:33
  developers profile page just like a pixel device
• 2:37
  if you boot if you boot loop if you get stuck
• 2:41
  in a boot loop on your pixel that's one of the
• 2:43
  one of the reasons why i've used pixel and or
• 2:48
  dating back to nexus for so many days google
• 2:51
  post and or up uploads their firmware to their
• 2:55
  developer site which is good because if you get
• 2:58
  any boot loop you can just go to their website
• 3:00
  download that firmware and you can essentially
• 3:04
  flash it back on your phone and save it you're
• 3:07
  going to save yourself probably now at least
• 3:10
  100 bucks from going to a cell phone repair store
• 3:13
  and it's pretty freaking easy like i think my
• 3:16
  daughter could do this it's pretty easy but i
• 3:22
  was wondering when google was going to upload
• 3:25
  the google book firmware to their developer site
• 3:29
  and thankfully they just did that so you're going
• 3:33
  to do essentially the same thing as you would
• 3:35
  do for a pixel if you get it stuck in a boot
• 3:37
  loop go grab that firmware download it and then
• 3:40
  flash it onto this google book now this is the
• 3:45
  acer google book this is the cheapest one i think
• 3:49
  it was like 8 .99 still not cheap but it you
• 3:52
  know they have something like 12 .99 now here's
• 3:55
  the thing this fix will work with any google
• 4:00
  book so they run a very well they run the same
• 4:05
  software the acer the hp the dell it's google
• 4:11
  book software so let me show you exactly where
• 4:16
  You're going to need to go to get to fix this.
• 4:20
  Right. But you're going to need to have Chrome
• 4:25
  OS. So whether you're on a you can do this, I
• 4:28
  believe. I think it's recommended to do this
• 4:31
  on a Windows laptop and or PC. I think you can
• 4:35
  do this with a Mac. I think I don't mess with
• 4:38
  Mac OS, so I have no clue. But this is essentially
• 4:42
  a. uh you can get this on the chrome web store
• 4:47
  so let me open this up right here and i'll show
• 4:54
  you exactly what i'm talking about let me remove
• 5:02
  this let me upload this so this is device recovery
• 5:08
  utility This is where you're going to need to
• 5:12
  go. And I have the links down in the description.
• 5:14
  And when I upload this individual video, I'm
• 5:16
  going to put links obviously in the description
• 5:18
  as well. It's very easy. I've done this with
• 5:21
  a Chromebook. It's been about a year, maybe a
• 5:23
  year and a half. But if you've ever recovered
• 5:26
  a Windows laptop and or the Windows image, what
• 5:30
  is it, an ISO or whatever the file extension
• 5:32
  is, it's easy. what you're going to do now you
• 5:35
  can get this on the chrome web store this is
• 5:39
  an extension and i've used this developer's extension
• 5:44
  for my chrome chromebook recovery about a year
• 5:49
  and a half ago and guess what they just added
• 5:51
  google books so you can create recovery media
• 5:56
  for your chromebook or google book device this
• 6:00
  is a chrome extension for chromebook and google
• 6:02
  book recovery I don't know why it has a 2 .6
• 6:07
  rating out of 5. I gave them a 5 -star rating
• 6:09
  because it solved my issues and it was easy.
• 6:12
  But who knows? It's probably people give them
• 6:16
  a bad rating because they have no clue how to
• 6:19
  follow directions and or do it. But it's easy.
• 6:23
  Trust me. So it's very, very easy. Essentially,
• 6:26
  what you're going to do is download this. So
• 6:29
  you're going to add it to your Chrome. I'm not
• 6:30
  going to walk you through the whole thing. It's
• 6:32
  pretty self -explanatory. but i will tell you
• 6:35
  at click this button and your chrome so it'll
• 6:38
  add an extension in your chrome browser and then
• 6:41
  when you open it up you're going to see this
• 6:43
  device recovery utility pop -up and it's going
• 6:46
  to say create a recovery media for your device
• 6:49
  you'll need a 16 gigabyte or larger usb flash
• 6:53
  drive or sd card that you don't mind erasing
• 6:57
  so don't don't use one with all your pictures
• 6:59
  on it of your friends and family or your grandparents
• 7:02
  or your daughter don't use one you know that
• 7:05
  has important information and or files on there
• 7:08
  it's going to erase it because when you when
• 7:11
  you download this media and you copy it to this
• 7:13
  flash drive it can't have any other files it
• 7:16
  only has to have the recovery media on this little
• 7:20
  flash drive you can get one a 16 gig flash drive
• 7:23
  on amazon for well I was going to say a few bucks,
• 7:27
  but since the memory crisis, it's probably quadrupled.
• 7:32
  I don't know, 10, 15, 20 bucks. You can get one
• 7:35
  at Best Buy. You can get one at Fry's, electronics.
• 7:38
  You can get it at your local, should I think
• 7:41
  even some grocery stores have it, Walmart, Target.
• 7:45
  So get you a flash drive and it walks you through
• 7:48
  it. It is so freaking easy. What you're going
• 7:53
  to do is you'll click get started. and then it'll
• 7:55
  say take your flash drive plug it in your computer
• 7:58
  and then it'll have you download the it's linked
• 8:03
  directly to the google developers website it'll
• 8:06
  have you choose it'll ask you chromebook google
• 8:09
  book what model google book and you download
• 8:12
  it'll download it for you the software and then
• 8:15
  it'll automatically copy it to your flash drive
• 8:19
  it walks you through it once it's on your flash
• 8:21
  drive you put the google book into recovery mode
• 8:25
  and it tells you how to do that you put in the
• 8:27
  flash drive in your google book you reboot it
• 8:30
  with that flash drive in your google book boom
• 8:32
  and it automatically loads a fresh version of
• 8:36
  the latest version of your google book firmware
• 8:40
  on your google book and then no more boot loop
• 8:42
  so uh if you need any help if you have one and
• 8:47
