Re: Macbook M1 bypass FMM / EFI Unlock
We need to determine how the bootloader unlock is actually performed, whether its a bit flip on the SSD or in the SEP. If it's in SEP, you're shit out of luck. If it's in the info partition then there may be a way to unlock it manually with write access to the chip. Seems unlikely of Apple to overlook such a glaring security hole though, so don't hold your breath. If someone can gain code execution prior to activation then there may be a way to unlock iBoot and install Asahi or a modified macOS install with activation lock removed. Any method of loading m1n1 would result in a complete iCloud bypass with minimal additional work depending on whether you'd like to use the machine for Linux or macOS.Last edited by TheSynthax; 12-06-2022, 12:14 PM.Comment

Re: Macbook M1 bypass FMM / EFI Unlock
time to hit the books then i guess
just some spitballing - apologies for my ignorance as im noob - would it be possible to
1) get a m1n1 environment with a startup disk? as in run a live session from a usb drive. there also seems to be an ability to load shares over a network using the ol diagnostics tool trick.
2) install something malicious in DFU mode that could trigger running the asahi installer / image
They have a nice serial tool https://github.com/AsahiLinux/macvdmtool but it requires dropping some security (which it seems my mac mini has enabled still)..
My goal is to bypass activation too but I would be content with a linux machine as well.. there was a user in this thread who claimed to have a working linux system so it has to be possible.. (or hes lying)Last edited by dr.d3x; 12-07-2022, 06:09 PM.Comment

Re: Macbook M1 bypass FMM / EFI Unlock
I think they have already found a way to bypass the blocking. they just don't want to make it public.Last edited by SMDFlea; 12-16-2022, 03:43 AM.Comment

Hi everyone hope all are well
I need a little expert advice on a issue I have and seeing as this forum is full of clever people I thought ask here as you never know.
I recently repaired a logic board 820-01700 which belongs to a 16" 2019 Macbook Pro, however I seem to be missing a component near the T2 Rom chip and is U4730.
The schematics say this chip is (M34128-FCS6_P/T) and it also says there is a bypass for it wondered if anyone come across either the IC or the bypass method.
I suppose it's worth noting googling the part package brings up various... -
I was hoping someone could point me to a tutorial on MDM unlock. Basically, I picked up a Macbook (A1989) from someone which did not have OS installed. The guy said it started software update and but did not finish. Long story short, the touchbar on this device has some kind of a short, so after unplugging it, I was able to install the OS on it, when I found out that it is also MDM locked by his company. I tried changing the serial number on the ROM by only changing a couple of digits of the original serial number. Now after installing the ROM back, the Macbook appears dead = DFU mode. When I... -
Hi everyone!
I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.
I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...06-27-2025, 08:54 AM -
Hello everyone hope you all are doing well, I'm posting here since no was interested in my post on "MacBook unlocked!" Topic, so In short I have found a way to test every possible key combination to try and find the combination to open the terminal on fmm/EFI locked M1/M2 machines, the person who found this still refuses to give info, but if hasn't lied about it being a key combination there's a chance we might find it, so to try Evey key combination I've got a digispark attiny 85 which is a small μController, I've written as script to emulate a keyboard and go thru every possible key...
