Toshiba Chromebook 2 will not install after powerwash says "The security module on this device is not working"

Reported by gabriel....@gmail.com, May 5 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015 Gandof) reboots frequently.
2. Powerwash
3. Go to install from key created by Chromebook Recovery Utility 

What is the expected behavior?
Expected behavior is that ChromeOS should reinstall from key.

What went wrong?
Gives error message "The security module on this device is not working"
If I hit tab on the "please insert recovery media screen" it says, among other things, recovery_reason: 0x02 recovery button pressed

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 66.0.3359.139  Channel: stable

Adding this from the CBC topic and I think Gabriel could provide the logs from the USB recovery as well.

As requested I tried it with a different USB stick loading the current image (ie, whatever is provided by default by Chromebook Recovery Utility).

As before it rebooted a few times before I could try installing the recovery image (or even hit tab to read the error) but eventually it tried and gave the same error as before "The security module on this device is not working."

Here is the message:

Thanks for filing the issue!

As mentioned in steps to reproduce the problem in comment#0, this issue seems to be related to chromebook, hence adding appropriate OS label to it.

Thanks!
