        T2 is now crackable. This is old news. I can bypass any lock on T2 devices. Currently fighting M1 MacBooks now!

                  I wanted to update my old post in this threat.. I managed to take down MDM and Activation lock by editing the T2 chip rom.

                    You mean bypass, not take down?

                      No, what I meant was complete removal. with bypass which thats what I was doing before, after any update or formatting the drive, MDM comes back again.

                        Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password

                        So how does the removal work?

                        Using content from another laptop which was already unlocked?

                          Yes, it have to be the same model and everything. then change the serial number.

                            just curious, I don't know much about that.
                            just need put another serial or other information is necessary ?
                            what's serial number in picture ?
                            a card id ?

                            edit: I was see youtube and some say "Activation needs a valid serial in the T2 ROM and matching uuid, board id etc. This can brick your device."
                            it's true ?

                              You just put a random number. but do not change the whole serial number. for example, this is just an example of one I previously changed:

                              Old S/N: SC02XXC5XJG5J
                              New S/N: SCO2XSC4XJGS

                              I change the 5 for an S, or 0 for O, etc. maximun I change only 3. that should take care it. then apple server add that serial # to their global base.

                                you didn't understand, the weird number is located higher than serial number.
                                look at 2A995D any dump.

                                Manufacturing Location and week of manufacture are bad .

                                  Try not to be negative. what I told you is what I did. and the 9 macs I already unlocked are perfect with no issues. And as for the serial I post, that was not a real serial, it was an example. but if you want to follow my advice fine, otherwise is okay.

                                    I know that changing 0 in C02 to O causes it to not activate (activation server cannot be reached). Same with changing 2 in C02 to 3. And probably by doing any other SN modification.

                                    So either you did not tell some key detail or it's BS

                                        Yes, that I know. The reason I have tried to change C02 on T2 machines is because this method works on older machines. Changing from C02 to C03 removes MDM. But with T2 cloud lock, it doesn't let activate it. That was kind of expected but was worth a shot.
                                        And that's why I know that 5chematic either left some details out or it's just BS.

                                        The thing bothering me is that even when you take the ROM from a faulty but unlocked device, it still doesn't let it activate. So the ROM content is still somehow binded with hardware in some way.

                                          as said above, I do not know, not had the opportunity to test the t2.Just curious

                                          There would therefore be other information written elsewhere for verification that must correspond:
                                          ( Mac adress, chip ID or others) or maybe a mirror map hidden somewhere

                                          therefore the replacement by full eprom t2 unlocked.
                                          It's not good. the activation is not done?

                                            Hi friends., I am working on MacBook Pro A2159 touchbar 2019. The old logic board was liquid spilled so I ordered another logic board from AE. Received it & all worked fine till I got to the Chinese login screen where the login screen password tobe entered. I tried to reset the password but it again gave me options which I do not know about the Apple ID. I formatted the onboard SSD. & wanted to change the startup boot sequence but in order to change it, again the password is needed for that too. Is there a way to get rid of this password?? The seller has not replied back past 2 days, how...

                                            MacBook Air 13 2014 - Remove EFI password
                                            by ritalo
                                            Hello,

                                            I have a MacBook Air 13 inches 2014.

                                            I have set a EFI password and I can't remember it : now I want to reinstall macOS and I can't because the MacBook is asking for the password.

                                            I know how to remove the password with a usb programmer.
                                            I plug the usb programmer to the motherboard and to my pc with usb, I read the EFI and I save it to a file.

                                            Then I have to find this value in the file : $SVS because it indicate where is the password.

                                            But I can't find the value.

                                            I have attached the file​

                                            Thank...

                                            I have done many of these over several years, But its been some time since the last time.

                                            Normally I dump the rom 3-5 times and compare before anything else
                                            Which I do have clean dumps, then I would search for $SVS and ff ff out every thing that follows that including the $SVS all the way down to the next large series of ff ff

                                            Upon 1st boot I will zap pram a few times, Password IS GONE
                                            yet the laptop is acting strange, powers off all of a sudden for no apparent reason.
                                            Besides that, the trackpad clicker does not work in internet recovery and other odd...

                                            Hi,

                                            my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

                                            I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

                                            The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
                                            After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

                                            The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...
