      this is understandable! just explain how to get out of the dfu if it’s stuck in it? To start Internet recovery you need to correctly complete the DFU mode!

          I haven’t reached the activation window yet, it doesn’t work with the DFU!

            From post # 4, we know that PPBUS_G3H created by U7000 is not yet boosted to the ~13 volts by the SMC.

            Measure the voltage to ground of the following points of interest:

            I2C_PWR_SDA
            I2C_PWR_SCL

                    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)
