I've just swapped T2 from one a1989 (that was not working - burned display pin in cpu). To another a1989 that was icloud locked. Nothing else just T2
First thing you have to do is boot to DFU and connect to another macbook with Apple configurator 2. Device must be shown as apple device (under DFU in apple configurator, if it shows DFU but under is Unknown device that is probably because T2 is bad or bad soldered)
second Revive (that can end with error - but you need to have apple logo at least on the macbook)
third when it finished (at least for me it was so) macbook started in DFU and i go to Restore via apple configurator (whole process until padlock)
then macbook started that no OS installed (flashing folder icon). I've restarted it in internet recovery (CMD + Option + R) reinstalled os and it's working.
everything except fingerprint (i have to find correct fingerprint that was married with that T2)
