    Re: Macbook 2018 above firmware password

    So are you guys trying to find a way to manually takedown security of T2 chip by editing rom without the help of tools? Because I came across the T203 tool which lets you bypass all the security to install the system. I was told however that if the OS needs a reinstall the process to bypass needs to be redone. I dont think the average user will even need to do an OS reinstall very often at all though so for anyone that wasnt aware you can check it out on aliexpress or YouTube T203 tool.

      bypass as indicated above does not work after reinstallation or several updates. (not tested, I just read).

      For me the bypass solution is not clean
      it's cool
      but it's still a trick.

      Complicated to guarantee the serenity of the machines with this

        Well i just read the description on the rewa site and it claims that activation lock will never come back even after a clean install so i went ahead and purchased one off alinexpress when i get the chance i will test it and see id lock remains cleared.

          When show activation lock its means owner user data erase.Or only solution bypass after show activation.Or bypass work normally if you do restore after back activation lock.

            I decided to cancel t203 order as after doing more digging i felt i could not trust it. Seems like tool comes with cracked checkm8 software and one comment claimed that checkm8 had patched the software already. I will keep waiting on official free solution.

                T203 doesn't work as you think. They use a file of which the SN is added to checkm8 server. It's not a cracked version, otherwise you wouldn't need to modify the ROM.

                Checkm8 doesn't need ROM modification.

                "patching" T203 means that checkm8 just removed that SN from their list. But there will be another ones so it will work anyway but not forever.

                Overall it makes more sense to pay for checkm8 instead of that T203. Less problems and doesn't involve soldering. But it's still a bypass not an unlock.

                    Two users in this threat did not believed what I told them. They started asking questions, then at the end they ended up knowing more than those who had actually unlocked many macs.

                    Now, would you believe me if I tell you that you do not really need the T203? yes, thats correct, you can always read the chip as long as you inject 1.8V to the chip. later I will post a simple picture of what I did.

                      Do not take it badly, I also just ask questions. I like reliable solutions. I do not blame you, on the contrary if you succeeded. I am just wondering about what I could see so far in the various Apple security.

                        You did not seem to understand me correctly. I asked questions because I already knew about this. Just hoping you discovered some new information. But everything you told I had already tried some time ago. That's why I am telling that either you left out some details which made it work or its just BS. So which one is it? Care to make it step-by-step so it can be replicated and confirmed? Because right now it's just a picture of the chip and picture of a random mac in the middle of installing. I really do hope that you are telling the truth but there is no evidence. So claiming that you have unlocked 9 T2 machines might aswell be a lie to make people believe in another lie.

                          Yes i realized this after investigating more. I just bought an addon for my medusa 3 to read the rom all i need is a damn locked T2 to start playing with it since no one around here wants to give the damn solution if i had an extra 1 thousand to blow id totally buy ************** solution and just share it here with everyone. Maybe ill do just that i hope its not a ripoff tho.

                                            by mferna14
                                            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...

                                            MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V

                                            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...
