I'm trying to use MrChromebox firmware tools on my Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1, but I'm stuck after opening the developer console and I'm not sure what step comes next. I may be missing something obvious in the instructions. The device is supported, and my goal is to install custom firmware, so I'd appreciate guidance on the correct next step and any important precautions before proceeding.

This isn’t a routine Linux installation—you’re modifying the Chromebook’s system firmware, so follow the MrChromebox instructions exactly and don’t skip any lines. First, confirm the precise model and verify that it’s listed as supported. For the Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1, read the device-specific instructions carefully and continue from the next step after opening the developer console. A mistake during firmware flashing can leave the Chromebook unusable, so make sure you understand each command before running it.

I double-checked the model and confirmed that the Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1 is supported. I’m specifically trying to install custom firmware and will go back through the instructions carefully.
