I think I may have bricked mine.
I had OpenElec going...no problems. I just realized that it would be better served as a internet browser for my mom. I tried to reset it; however, I have downloaded (several times) the recovery image from Google. I insert that USB into it, and it isn't recognized. For kicks, I put the ChromiumOS stick in there, and I get the "device does not contain ChromeOS" message. I cannot seem to get back to developer mode, any type of a command prompt, just the "ChromeOS is missing" or "device does not..." Please help: I have very little hair left to pull out.

Did you read the notes on the wiki regarding the recovery image, USB media, etc? You're device isn't bricked, it just doesn't like the USB stick you are using.

Why are you mounting samba shares? XBMC has built in samba and doesn't need to have a OS based mount.

Maybe I need to clarify that, I mount my NAS via the menus, so I am using the built in samba.

I have received a FLIRC adapter to use with my chromebox two days ago. I have upgraded the firmware on it (now 3.0) and configured each keys with the remote I intend to use for my HTPC.
FLIRC was working fine at first with my setup but I found out after some testing that it stop working if it was not used during a few hours. A easy workaround I found for this problem is to simply remove the flirc adapter from the usb3 port and put it back but it's only working until the next long period of inactivity of the adapter.
My setup: Asus Chromebox with a full installation of Ubuntu 14.04 + XBMC.
Other facts:
-I also have a RF USB adapter for a keyboard/mouse wireless controller plugged in a other USB3 port on the same box and I do not experienced this problem with this one.
-My HTPC box is running 24/7 (no suspend) and I already tried to configure a wake button on my remote without success.
So.....has someone else here has experienced the same issue with flirc and his setup? and have you found a solution to this problem?
Thank you!

sure sounds like the Flirc itself is going to sleep.
