I'm trying to use MrChromebox to install custom firmware, but I'm stuck after opening the developer console and suspect I'm missing a step. My device is a Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1. What should I do next, and are there any important precautions I should follow?

Double-check that you’re following the instructions for the exact Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1 model. Custom firmware changes the Chromebook’s motherboard firmware, so this isn’t the same as a normal Linux installation. Make sure the device is listed as supported, then continue reading the instructions carefully—your next step should be just below where you stopped. Missing even one step can leave the Chromebook unusable, so don’t proceed until you’re certain you have the correct model and procedure.
I confirmed that I have the Dell Chromebook 3100 2-in-1, and it is supported. I’m specifically trying to install the custom firmware.
