    want for letting you submit the serial you want to use
    it will come up with the message "serial no authorised"
    you can use the tool with the bin files with the tool but although
    successful it will give wrong summary details in about this mac

    Hi is there new t2 unlock files available?

        I'm very sure you've got a lot of free help on this forum, I mean from people who didn't get the knowledge/tools free of charge.

          Use it on an intel-based system.

                Any programmer that can read/write to a 25 Series SPI FLASH should be able to interface with the T2 ROM. The CH341A chipset is utilized by most popular products that were developed specifically for the T2 ROM, but a TL866 should also be able to read/write to it so long as you use a 1.8v adaptor when reading it (or use an adaptor that has the 1.8v conversion logic built in).

                    BY-200 is best for now, anyway you can read it with any programmer but need to solder points

                        Hi there, after using this kind of bypass (flashing the spi flash)
                        I have two issue: first is that mina/checkm8 give an error, something like "was not able to read from your t2 mac"
                        And if i try to online restore it, i let me put the password for wifi, but after that it does nothing...


                        Any advise?

                                I think the T2 unlock data for A1932 is blocked, that Serial number in the T2 unlock bin may be blocked now by Apple because cannot restore in Apple Configurator 2. Can anyone confirm if they have used it recently ?

                                  Maybe something is wrong with the file you're using. Try using your stock bin file with a Mina-fied (if you get what I mean) serial number, it should work.

                                    I used T203 for A1932 2018 model on 20/10, it worked well. Then I tried to use it for my A2179 2020 model, it gave error "not found SSH device, check it and try again". I got this error at the last step while the "minaT2activator" started running? anybody else has the same issue? Please share your solutions.


                                    One more question here: Can we modify the serial number in those unlock data bin file, before we auto program the rom chip? Will the changing of the serial number affect the jailbreaking?


                                    All helps and discussions are welcome.

                                      I was curious if the T2 chip serial being changed would allow cracking the Firmware lock and icloud lock of a device? We came across the T2 Rom Tool and this allows the use of changing the serial which in our experience would allow removal of MDM on older models (2017-and older). Would that isolate the icloud bypass since it is married to the serial of the T2 chip? Curious since we are close to pulling the trigger on a wholesale lot and we anticipate iCloud devices in MacBooks etc. Piernov or anyone have thoughts on this?

                                      Update: People are saying yes and no. If you change the serial you would have to change the UUID? Apple looks at the serial and the UUID in the rom. I know we could figure this out some how some way.

                                      Any answer to this original question? If I modify the serial number in the unlock data bin file, will the iCloud bypass still work?

                                        Hi. Also interested to learn if the T203 tool is suitable to remove password off A1932. Looking to purchase a broken A1932 from Ebay but only if we can get the password off the unit. Real focus is to learn on how to remove and replace the very thin LCD retina as compared to replacing the display assembly.

This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                                            Lenovo T490 - motherboard serial - windows licence lost - after corrupt bios chip replacement
                                            by baletak
                                            Hi,
                                            had T490 with faulty bios chip. Bought chip out of ebay and soldered on. Laptop starts and works however serial numbers of laptop and motherboard do not match.
                                            I have updated laptop model number.

                                            1) I did not find the way to update laptop serial number - I have this one.
                                            2) I dont know where to get my motherboard serial number and how to update it. Is it somewhere physically on the mainboard? How do I update it?

                                            Hope to find someone to help me with this as I am hitting dead end at the moment.

                                            Many thanks

                                            How to add chip support to NeoProgrammer software for the CH341A Programmer
                                            by SMDFlea
                                            Adding chip support is quite easy,there`s even some instructions included with NeoProgrammer,although its not obvious where they are
                                            and once you do find them there`s a few crucial steps missing.

                                            Extract chiplist.zip to a folder,the instructions are in Import_EN.txt and in Import.xml .Its the xml file where we add the new chip.



                                            Open Import.xml with notepad or any other text editor.In this example i`m adding a Macronix MX77L25650F SPI_NOR chip.



                                            After adding the chip save the xml file and copy it to the root directory of the...

                                            ----------------------------------------------------------

                                            Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

                                            A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

                                            Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

                                            A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

                                            The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

                                            Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

                                            Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
                                            by BMCappelletti
                                            Long story short:
                                            - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
                                            - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
                                            - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
                                            - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
                                            (seems like the story was not that short)

                                            He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...
