Can you press the TAB key at the screen and copy what the GBB flags are set as? I am wondering if GBB_FLAG_FORCE_DEV_SWITCH_ON got enabled somehow.

Another possibility is if the developer switch got switched on somehow (ZGB is one of the very old designs with a physical switch for dev mode). Please check that the developer mode switch is set to "normal mode": http://www.chromium.org/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/acer-ac700-chromebook#TOC-Developer-switch

If the switch is set to the correct position, boot and try running "crossystem devsw_boot" and "crossystem devsw_cur" from VT2 to see if software and hardware agree.

(cc'ing Randall and Bill as well since they might remember some details about this device)
That looks like the OS-side dev warning screen, not the dev firmware.  ZGB was one of a couple devices where normal and dev firmware were actually different images.  So I don't think it's the GBB.  That also means pressing Tab won't do anything at that screen.

If you press Ctrl+D, does it get past that screen?


May be a dup of  issue 479964

Can we reproduce this on other ZGB, or just this one device?

Also, to confirm, what position is the physical dev switch in?

Is the bug that you expect to be in normal mode, and all of a sudden the OS thinks you're in dev mode?

Or is the bug that you expect to be in dev mode, and all of a sudden now you can't get past this screen?

Also, what happens once you're at the screen.  Does it sit there forever, or does it eventually boot?

Its always stuck at recovery screen.
Also happens on all zgb devices

Assigning to dbehr@ following up on comment 6. Please pass along to the right owner if not you, thanks.
Do you mean the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" screen, or the one you screen-captured?

What is the position of the physical developer switch?  Does the behavior change if you move it to the other position?
device switched from developer mode to normal mode, and issue is no more reproducible on M56-Beta(9000.72.0.
