    I tried to make a recovery USB 10 times and at the very end of the process it says unable to unzip properly or something similar to that regarding the final faze after it reaches 100% download process on the status bar it then starts the unziping process then when that status bar reaches 95% it says unable to unzip properly recovery will be deleted. I’ve used 8gb 16gb 32gb 64gb USB 3.0 SanDisk plus even 2.0 cheapo SanDisk drives then used SDCards even the extreme plus and ultra versions even tried micro SD card in a adapter same error.. tried every port… I was able to use the same recovery utility application to put Linux on a USB I made a bunch of different SDCards for the Raspberry pi even with that but it will not fully install the recovery of Chromebook I’m doing this all on!
