    I see Louis used a fix I messaged on stream live chat AND e-mailed him about a few months ago :-). Louis didn't believe me Dx. I've been having to re-flash the T2 chips on many machines to revive them after failed software updates, and to make Command + Option + R actually work right and install Catalina on a machine that came with Mojave or High Sierra out of the box. What a pain. About 95% of my cases have not involved losing data on the machine. The rest rendered the machine needing an OS re-install.
    Louis, for the DFU restore, once the Mac begins showing the Apple logo with the loading bar, then reboots and shows a loading bar with time remaining, you can unplug the USB/Thunderbolt cable. The machine does not need to be tethered to complete the pending OS update. Apple Configuration 2 doesn't get signaled that the T2 chip has actually rebooted with the LATEST firmware, and thus times out. Also... the charging cable the Mac comes with works fine as the DFU process runs over USB 2.0. You don't need to buy another cable.
    If Apple were smart, they would make the T2 chip be capable of re-flashing itself through Internet Recovery. So their machines don't brick like this. Or you know... do what everyone else does and have a read-only backup boot partition for booting off of in emergencies.

      @@ΝίκοςΒουγογιαννόπουλος I know very little about why it happens. Other than it being caused by OS updates. Apple doesn't seem to have built in enough redundancy into the T2 chip to keep the issue from happening. I mean. Most modern BIOS have backup boot blocks in case of a bad flash.

    • @dennis_johnson
      @dennis_johnson 3 года назад

      I'm in a similar situation with a bricked a1989. Tried to re-flash with Configurator2, but the dead MacBook is not recognised on the tool. The host MacBook (mid-2012) is running Catalina 10.15.7, so I'm not sure if there is a compatibility issue with that.

    • @SGCSmith
      @SGCSmith 3 года назад

      @@dennis_johnson In theory the DFU mode should work regardless of what is on the SSD, as the code for that lives in the ROM inside the T2.
      In some cases I've had Macs go brain dead and fail to turn on even after performing an SMC reset. Just like this even. If you have the tools to open the Mac and disconnect the battery for a few minutes, do that and then see if you can enter DFU mode. Or if the machine turns on normally afterwards.
      But yeah, new year, newly released OS, once again the bricked T2 chips show up.

      Connect both macbook using the thunderbolt3 cable and run the apple configurator 2 app on working macbook. Follow the instructions in this video, you dont need to start the brick macbook, it will wake up itself, once it will be recovered successfully.

    Many thanks, Louis, for the warning, I owe A1990 (2018 Pro) bought for 50$ as half-dead with question mark folder (it was minimal amount of work to fix it, luckily, some shit on the way to SSD to clean up) and I know now to stay with OSX Mojave for the time being. I got this laptop to test some FX software that exists only on Macs.

    Hello Louis,
    Congrats for another great video.
    It is possible to use an old a1278 with this app installed to run this type of DFU modes on newer macs?
    Or just the type-C ones can do that kind of update? On that machine im running patched catalina

    Had one of these a couple of weeks ago. Wasted so much time on it, figured out it's a T2 issue, found a tip about DFU restore but didn't have another USB-C MacBook handy and it didn't work with an adapter to USB3. So sadly had to let it go.

    Good to know! Normally I keep at least one generation of old computer as a backup in case the new computer gets damaged/stolen/whatever, and I guess this is just another reason to do that.
    Does anyone know if this tool will run on a hackintosh? And does it specifically require the working computer to have USB-C, or will a USB-A to USB-C adapter work?

      dbetts3087 the documentation would have them run configurator. UNFORTUNATELY, most of the technicians I worked with at Apple didn’t have great luck with configurator because they’re bad at following written instructions. So most Genius Bar techs would likely replace the board.
