I tried using Configurator. When I try to do anything it just reboots to recovery with no option for terminal. I'm not sure if it is also icloud locked however I do not think so. Do I have any options?

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a bricked RCF M18 digital mixer. The unit was completely dead, but I managed to resurrect the hardware doing a low-level recovery via the internal UART header and the Debug Jumper method (as per RCF Service Note 1903B).
I successfully booted from the SD card, wiped the NAND, and flashed U-Boot. The CPU is alive and I now have a working serial console at the RCF-M18# prompt.
The Problem:
The recovery script halted because the official firmware update provided by RCF on their website (.mpk format, ~1.5MB) is just an application... -
HP BIOS on AI-Generation Platforms: MPM Unlock and DMI Reprogramming Challenges
On recent HP platforms commonly referred to as AI-generation systems, unlocking MPM (Manufacturing Programming Mode) in order to reprogram DMI information has become significantly more difficult compared to earlier generations.
The level of firmware security has been raised substantially, and solutions that were previously effective on older platforms (for example, G11 and earlier generations) are no longer applicable or reliable on these newer systems.

Hello,
I have Dell Latitude 5280, device blinks BIOS recovery error. If booted with proper pendrive, boots into recovery but asks for admin password.
Serial is GCDFLH2, since I don't get usual prompt I don't know the "suffix". From dump I assume it is -2A7B. However using password from generator on recovery prompt doesn't seem to work for me (using ctrl+enter for input).
I attached the image, UEFItool definitely complains about checksum issues. Maybe someone is able to fix the image or at least remove the password?... -

Every time I boot, I get the message: "Do you want to recovery ROM part? (Caution: Not every OS is bootable in Recovery Mode.)" with two options: YES or NO. The screen just stays there with both options and does not do anything on its own. When I...
