Re: T2 Chip Programmer Tool
Just found something interesting.
If you have an external disk with a MACOS installation (not an installer), you can boot from this if you hold CMD-R for a minute whilst it boots. You can release CMD-R once the loading bar appears. This will boot the recovery from the external disk instead of downloading it. I used Catalina, but others may work.
Once at the language selection, you can press CMD-T to bring up a Terminal.

This is a useful read to better understand how the T2 works.

2GB capacity T2 chip can control 1TB, 2TB, 4TB NAND.
So when 128GB, 256GB or 512GB NAND can use 1gb T2 For 1TB, 2TB or 4TB NAND,T2 chip must be 2GB.

Re: T2 Chip Programmer Tool
Also T2 chip has 1 generation and 2 generation:
A1989, A1990, A1932, A2141, A2179, A2251 use 1st generation T2 chip.
A2159 ,A2289 ,MAC MINI A1993 use 2st generation T2 chip.

and for M1 models you need replace CPU from other macbook
this is 100%

If I replace the T2 chip from a mechanical damaged Macbook (A2179), to a locked one with latest iBridge, will it unlock it?

Re: T2 Chip Programmer Tool
Is it possible to downgrade iBridge/BridgeOS from version 6+ by flashing the T2 EEPROM? Or is there any other way to downgrade using an unsigned ipsw file?
With the intention of using Checkra1n once downgraded.

I personally have continued my work doing this for companies now but for now I am just busy with multiple new projects. currently we are moving our business to a new location since we have grown.
In the mean time I have ceased tutorials on this until further notice. I will eventually come up with a new tutorial one day for the MDM locks for M1 devices which do not require bypassing. So far nothing, but I am hopeful.

I replaced one shorted cd3217, I couldnt read u4770 (most likely damaged), so I programmed new one with blank serial, got 20V back. Now it starting straight to internet recovery and cant activate. Activation servers not available or something like that. I dont have original u4770 rom and they also dont. Then I tried and edited rom with original serial, but internet recovery ends up with error message -2005F. Do you guys had this before? Im out of ideas how to activate it. Its not icloud or mdm locked.
That error code is related to internet connectivity.

It's no longer available, but you may find some of it on waybackmachine or similar
In order:
The t2 can still be bypassed even on the new BridgeOs, without changing via Hw the serial but the simple way is creating an ad hoc ramdisk for bridgeOs 6+. Mina uses pongo to dynamically patch the boot and eventually go to ramdisk, but this option will have no future development, the developers know it will only be used to bypass the ecloud. Now before buying a t2 locked specifically to create a free bundle for everyone, I would need a little effort from those who still have one that can be bypassed via mina. I ask if some expert soul is can do a wireshark pcap 'usb sniffer' during the activation patch procedure and do a dump via ssh or sshpass of mobileactivationd. Both are necessarily needed to understand what I have to look at in the new binaries. I also reply to those who have written that it is enough to change the dmg and restore. The t2 will not allow you to do this unless you do the signature removal and the all patch you need for flash(like checkrain) ibss ibec kernelcache etc ..
Sorry for my bad english.Last edited by genhack; 10-17-2022, 02:18 PM.

Re: T2 Chip Programmer Tool
Originally posted by Stephen View PostI hate to be the bearer of bad news but considering their is no boot, and the direction the T2 chip is located, have you maybe considered the possiblity that the T2 chip may have been heated as well since the EFI rom chip is close by and you could have hit up the T2 chip by accident and it itself is bad? If not have you considered reading the EFI SPI Rom data and see if it IS even readable at all? If the program cannot even READ the chip chances are that chip is bad and you will need to sadly get a new chip from a donor board or online new. These chips are easily accesible and fairly cheap. I would always advise anyone doing this to have spares on hand just in case. but i am assuming if the board booted before and after removal and reheating it back to the board I am assuming it is one or two things, one, the chip itself is bad and you need a new one, or 2 which DOES happen, the T2 Chip is bad due to overheating in that area. Just food for thought.
Thanks for your response
Guess what it's working LOL
Yes I was scratching my head for hours then went to bed with the hump thinking that I had ruined a decent machine and I was a complete moron.
Woke up this morning and had an epiphany I would try another usb c to usb c lead an APPLE one (the one I was using was a bog standard usb c lead I use for phone) and hey presto with no battery connected it booted to the flashing folder voila. I have since installed an OS and checked serial and such and all's well thank god!
So with that I thank all concerned and can sleep in peace in the knowledge that I am not a dumbass
