I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:
- "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
- "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]
I had already tried the revive option in Apple Configurator but that also failed. At this point I'm wondering if it is because the other Macbook I am using is on an older MacOS version (Ventura 13.7.8). I can't recall what the OS version of the patient macbook was, but it certainly would have been higher than that.
I'm currently setting up a MacOS Sonoma virtual machine on VMWare Fusion on the working Macbook to try the restore on the later version, but I feel this likely won't work. Can anyone think of any better alternatives? Thank you very much in advance!
I've read somewhere that using an ISPW on Apple Configurator may help, but https://ipsw.me/ doesn't seem to offer that for my A2289 2020 intel based Macbook Pro and I'm not sure what other sources I can trust, if that route is even viable.
