Hello, 

I'm struggling to recover my Chrombook ACER spin 713 (codename: voxel). 
My chromebook got stuck and doesn't show anything after flashing an EC rom that doesn't seem to work properly. 

To recover, I connected to a Linux host machine with suzyq, and tried to flash clean EC firmware from the host machine. But "no XML overlay for board voxel" error arose. When I used its boardname "volteer" instead of codename "voxel", it shows "host/device sync failed" error. 

Worse, after I accidentally reset EC using "F3/ + power" keys, it does not even allow me to issue any commands via /dev/ttyUSB2. 

So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

Thanks,
Kyungtae

Voxel is the model, volteer is the board
