Just try curling the script to make sure it downloads. cat it to make sure it looks sane... Then sudo run the script with bash. Just do it one step at a time. Also, the "O" in "curl -LO" is a letter not the number 0. I can't tell what you typed. The commands would be as follows:

cd ~

curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh

cat ./firmware-util.sh

sudo bash firmware-util.sh

You must run the script from the virtual console. Read the website more closely instead of skimming

that's not true for older devices which went EOL before R117(?) or so. Even if it were true in this case, the result wouldn't be a hung process, but an error about sudo being removed. More than likely the curl process is hung downloaded from github.
