    820-3209 EFI/BIOS Help needed =)

    Hello!

    I have a 13' Air 2012 (A1466 Apple MBA) which I think has a corrupt EFI as it fails to install macOS after a failed update (I've tried basically everything except repogram of EFI)

    Could somebody please help me with a clean ME EFI bin? :-)
    I have this dumpfile from the Internet (https://easyupload.io/8euf2x)

    Any help is hugely appreciated!

            The issue that makes me believe it's EFI-related is this:

            I can't reinstall OS, It tries to start the install but then fails and displays an error (it seems to happen at start when it usually does the EFI-update part)
            I've tried two different internal drives and one external drive, different date/year, PRAM-reset etc etc.

            Only thing left to try is to reprogram EFI-chip with a known good EFI!
