As the laptopmode.log, the connection might be lost because of missing .service files. Is this regarding to the root cause?

I changed the model name from 'Acer C7' to 'Acer C710' since I found the correct model number from the communication logs between customer and our team.

Hmm, another issue with Parrot.

The issue is the same as crbug/653814. The device fails to update VPD:
2016-10-04T16:40:21.257981+00:00 ERR session_manager[749]: [ERROR:vpd_process_impl.cc(73)] Failed to update VPD, code = 1

because vpd.c fails:
[ERROR] the table offset looks suspicious. index=0xfff80400, data->offset=0x37c400, related_eps_base=0x3fc000
loadFile('/tmp/vpd.flashrom.KyKCAY') error.

Issue is also occurring on Acer C720
ahong, can you specify the Chrome OS version used, and provide the logs? If it's a parrot device, the fix was done in version 55.

Comment 9 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

Device is currently running 55.  Log is attached

Thanks for the input. It's a Peppy device and the problem is the VPD partition
is corrupted. This most likely can be fixed by recovering to version 56.

Or faster way is to format the partition from terminal with two commands:
flashrom -p host -i RW_VPD -E
vpd -i RW_VPD -O

Comment 12 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

I attempted to boot to DevMode, but I cannot access it.  I get an error
stating that it is disabled by the device owner.  The device has already
been deprovisioned and wiped though.  Any suggestions?

Is 56 available now as a stable build?

Oh, you're right - 56 stable for Chrome OS is not released yet. You can try
the 56 beta version I guess. Not sure why you're not allowed to switch to
DevMode though. Maybe try to recover to latest 55 and check if can switch
to dev.
There is logic to clear a corrupt VPD in recovery images starting with M-56, thus I'd suggest to try recovering to M-56 or later (either use beta or wait for stable release).  I don't think M-55 will be helpful.

Comment 15 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

Great!  Thanks for that info.

On a managed Chromebook, what would happen if I recovered to 56 beta even
though OU policy limits updates to 55 stable?

Comment 16 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

Also, when 56 will be released to the stable channel?
Policy version limits just apply to the auto-updater, thus recovery to 56 would not be impacted by the policy.  We don't pre-announce release dates, but given that Chrome 56 has hit stable already, it shouldn't be too long for Chrome OS to follow suit.

Comment 18 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

Got it.  Thank you!  I was worried that I was going to have the device sent
in for a costly (relative to the purchase price) mainboard replacement to
resolve the issue.

I will keep it ready and wait for 56 to roll out and hopefully that will
resolve the issue.

I appreciate the quick replies!
It's specifically the recovery process that should reformat the VPD.  Just updating to 56 is not sufficient.

Comment 20 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 1 2017

So to clarify, once 56 stable is released, I will need to follow the
instructions here (
https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1080595?hl=en) to recover the
Chromebook, correct?
That's correct.  Please let us know whether that solves your issue.

Comment 22 by ah...@eesd.org, Feb 9 2017

I see that 56 has been released and I've run the Recovery program to create a new installation media.  However, upon installation, I see that it has installed 54.0.2840.101, not 56.

Any suggestions?  Is there lag time between the release & updating of the Recovery files?
