Chromebook won't go into dev mode.

[JasonHinton]

I have been trying to get into developer mode for a while and everytime it's the same thing. I do the steps: ESC, refresh, power, 

ctrl-D, Enter, beeps and transition. When I am going into transition at the top instead of a count down it says "
"[0409/163409.849450:ERROR:process.cc(329)] Exec of usr/bin/pv failed: : Inout/Output error" Please help me with this.

@JasonHinton Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the Chromebook won't go into dev mode.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

Please perform the Factory reset your Chromebook

1. Sign out of your Chromebook.
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + r.
3. Select Restart.
4. In the box that appears, select Powerwash  Continue.
5. Follow the steps that appear and sign in with your Google Account.
   Note: The account you sign in with after you reset your Chromebook will be the owner account.
6. Once you've reset your Chromebook:
   • Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Chromebook
   • Check if the problem is fixed

If you still have the same issue, perform the recovery.

Important: Recovery permanently erases everything on your Chromebook's hard drive, including your downloaded files. If possible, back up your files before you recover your Chromebook.
