    Finally I was able to reinstall my bricked/corrupted MacBook. I was struggling for several hours to get my MBP working and finally I found this video.
    Btw: only full restore helped in my case, but luckily I have TM backups.

    Mr. Macintosh, Sir your a genius! Restored a 2020 iMac here from a 2014 MacBook Pro. Having mused for a couple of days over an apparent "Bricked" iMac which looked to me as if the Computer had a "Bricked" Logic Board which on the 2020 is pretty much everything i.e. SSD etc. I was "sweating Bullets." So I scooted over to Amazon and ordered a USB-A to USB-C. In the meantime my Samsung Galaxy needed charging, just by chance I looked at the USB-C end of the charger Cable and "Lo and behold" it fit the USB-C port at the back of the iMac.
    Downloaded the Apple Configurator and went through the iMac process and "et voila" DFU mode first time. I wondered in the Video clip as to your apparent exuberance at getting the procedure to work, well I was the same here. Many, Many thanks again for your superb helpful advice, Videos and Channel!!!! 😁😄😃😀
    PS now off over to Amazon to cancel the Cable before they ship it!

    Thank you so much! I was devastated for hours after bricking my MB Air 2020 😩 and I followed every single step you advised and now it’s working! I had watched other videos and they didn’t say that you could: 1) Use the USB C charging cable on both macs, 2) Plug the first USB cable to the left nearest port on both macs and then plug in the second cable into the left farther charging port so the main(working) Mac can also charge.
    Thanks a lot! 🤩

To be surprised, Apple executive didn't mention about it at all, though I asked her can I do something with my new Macbook to fix this. She told no such possibilities are there. But thanks to you from bottom of my heart. God bless You!
    Keep helping.

    Hi! great video. My MBP 2018 has an issue with Touch ID enrolment. I am pretty sure it is not a hardware issue. It says unable to complete Touch ID enrolment. I have tried many online solutions including pram and sec reset but nothing worked. Someone had a similar problem and they said reloading the T2 firmware fixed their problem as during updates, sometimes the T2 chip can corrupt the connection between Touch ID and logic board. Do you think I should give this a try? Is reviving the same as reloading T2 firmware?

    Hello, Great tutorial! I have an imac pro that remains with a black screen on startup .. I tried with the keyboard commands, reset SMC and NVRAM, but nothing. C
    With apple configurator 2 can you also backup the disk?

    • @Mr.Macintosh
      @Mr.Macintosh  3 роки тому +1

      Hello Emilio, your best bet is to make sure that you are using a USB keyboard. Sometimes wireless keyboards can cause problems when you are trying to issue startup commands.
      As far as the DFU BridgeOS install, if you attempt this just make sure that you choose the REVIVE option ONLY. This will just reinstall bridgeOS but NOT erase your data.
      You could also boot your iMac into TDM target disk mode and get all the data for backup if needed. (this is if that works or not since you only have a black screen)
      Let me know how it works!

    I have tried every site, all videos, but cannot get a customers Macbook Pro 2019 A2141 Intel i9 into DFU mode, was updating it to MacOS Ventura and it got stuck at the startup disk option. Now cannot get it out of that and every video that I see, it simply goes into the DFU mode. THe only difference is that Apple only has Apple Configurator to download, can't find Configurator 2 anywhere. The version that is downloaded says it is Version 2.15.1 and it also says (right on the main page when you open up the app) that Apple Configurator support iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV, no mention of MacOS. I've tried USB-C to USB-C, used Thunderbolt C-C, made sure I have Target and Host OS as Monterey but no luck!!!

    Got into DFU mode. All the Advanced options in Apple Configurator are greyed out.
    I double clicked the large DFU icon anyway and under Apps on the left, got the message '"Apple Controller" is not booted. Click Restore to update the device to the latest firmware. So I did. It went through all the motions as per your video.
    After that the target device automatically booted to the internet recovery network selection screen (not the question mark folder). I restarted it with the ethernet cable plugged in. Internet Recovery starts but stalls with the countdown timer at 24:00 and the fan spinning high.

    Help me Obi-Wan! I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 15" touch bar that has the T2 chip enabled (no external drive access/target disk mode) with NO OS installed. I can boot into internet recovery via Wi-Fi and ethernet connections. However, every attempt when downloading/installing the OS, it comes up with the error, PKDownloadError 8. I have tried 3 different internet connections (home, work, neighbor, all three via wifi and ethernet) but get the same error. I have tried to install via time machine backup, but it states it needs a backup that includes the MacOS. This Mac had Monterey when it was wiped and depending if you do Control-R or Option Control-R you get Catalina recovery or Sonoma recovery. Will a DFU restore/revive help? How can get this Mac to boot to anything? Thanks!

    Hi, I do have few boards I would like try to restore them with Apple Configurator 2. The problem is, I don't have the exact body to test them. Got the battery, screen, fan and power cable. No keyboard or trackpad.
    My question is, is it possible to put them in DFU using an wired external Apple keyboard? Did anyone managed to do it? As I tried and I couldn't get to DFU by using the same sequence on the external keyboard.
    Thanks

    Macbook air 2020 intel bricked via update. Tried to revive and restore. Internet Recovery stays in an endless loop trying to sign into the wifi. Thoughts on how I can get past that? Is there a specific ipsw that is better to restore it with? Haven't had any luck with a bootable drive either. Or recommendations for an Ethernet adapter that works in recovery mode? I tried a cheap one but it didn't register.

    Model Number:
    A2159.
    emc:
    3301.
    I bought a MacBook Pro by auction, because it has a password in it, I watched it from the videos, while resetpassword, the system keeps turning itself off and on.
    CMD+R keys do not enter the recovery mode, I enter Wi-Fi from the internet and it starts to fill, after it is full, the machine turns itself off and on, I tried it from USB, but it did not load, it shuts itself down constantly, what is the reason for this? If you could help with this situation, I would greatly appreciate it.
    I bought 5 Apple laptops through the tender, I made 4 of them, but 1 of them has a problem, if you can help me in this regard, I would be very happy.
    Anyone know about this?
    It keeps resetting USB.

I have try to update it since last year I won't be able to do that as mention on YT and apple website, I have tried numerous ways to update its OS (read meny articles, watch videos), but none of them work for me ( each moment this error comes AN ERROR OCCURRED INSTALLING MACOS, VIA INTERNET RECOVERY ALWAYS HIGH SIERRA, EXTERNAL BOOT DISK WON'T SUPPORT, EVEN I WON'T BE ABLE TO INSTALL WINDOWS). later sometime while I reseraching about it, I bumped into your article and the YT videos. once I realized what had happned I went to apple authorized repaired shop to repair this. what they told me was suppriced me. I belived that they have been following the apple ethos of "always pushing for replacement". so I won't be able to repair it from them (futureworld.com.lk/)
      I have published support portal on my facebook page, twitter and some local forum. I found some owners who has the same spec devices like mine. once I educate them about what went wrong with my device they are not allowed to do the proceduer, or even afraid to put his/her device in a situation like this. you might heard Apple in South Asia is a necklace to the developing world, but for me this is pro tool.
