Fix Broken Bricked Mac with Restore Revive

Since you're down under do I need to reverse the handedness of these instructions (except the power key of course) here in the northern hemisphere? But seriously, thank you for this. These are the only instructions that match closely my problem. The only. I am sure it's a corrupted second partition.

My Mac shows success, tells to disconnect but then, it just do nothing, just the touch works! The keyboard backlit it's ,energized a little. I can't understand, as it enters dfu, restores it, but nothing after. I can see the logic board on. Oh, it's power button is broken, maybe it is it?

Thanks so much, you literally saved my life!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

How can you fix it when it’s stuck on the MacOS X Lion when trying to got to MacOS High Sierra?

must same model or no?

this video has saved my life after mac not reacting to any commands and recovery from internet failing with different error codes. I did a restore and revive like shown in the video, then recovery from internet worked on first try. Hope this comment will help someone on my situation

It helped me alot

Thank you man this really helped me

Hey mate does this work if I don’t have another Mac? I only have another windows device 😢

Hello! Can a Macbook air M3 breed a Macbook pro intel?

One port is connected to the charging?? In working macbook???
Any one can help me

Any one explain me which usb port connect to not working macbook

on bricked macbook air m2 it worked, but it needed to be firstly revived and after it needed to be restored - cable placement is crucial to be as shown here and dfu mode is defo needed. thank you

Hi, what if I don’t have a second mac? I am going insane😭

Failed to activate device?? Will this work for this?

What if i don't have two macbooks? I've used this brand new mac for two months and it got into this problem. And you are saying the fix comes by having a second shitty mac?

After following all the steps with both reviving and restoring device I got an error…the system cannot be restored in this device no space left on device…how do I fix this?

Have Mac Pro M1 2020, didn't use the laptop for over 3 months, once opened was not reponcing, have decided to change the battery, made all to the book, still not responding. Found your video, no responce, the "source" mac is not seeing the patient, no sound or smth like that, combination didn't work. If i am plugging it to the enerygy/to "souce" mac than I "feel" the electrcity is coming to patient mac but nothing is changing. Do you think it's completly dead?

Thank you sir, you saved my mac. After searching the whole internet for hours, this is the only thing that worked.

tbh it's nonsense that you can only do this with another mac

Hey I have connected it with my second MacBook but I am getting issue I don’t find window in working mac to confirm that it’s connected or not can u help me?

there is no apple configurator 2

I did the same but its failed to restore, now what to do? Would u please help me…

Hello, this method worked! I restored my laptop and did everything but as soon as i disconnected the usb c to usb c that connected my working laptop to the broken one, the problem came back and the start up keeps restarting. please help!

For fix this shit, we need to pay 2k again? Wtf

Alright this doesn’t seem to be my problem but i have a similar one. I bricked my M1 pro after i upgraded to Sonoma. Now every time i open the Lid of my Macbook nothing appears, not even the apple logo, it takes a while and then there’s a really dim logo of Apple that appears then disappears but it doesn’t turns on. Any help’d be appreciated.

Apple is garbage. After I updated the OS I get the black screen of death. What kind of BS is that? Apple sucks

this is the best video thanks a mil

Excellent ... well done ...

I gave apple store a mbprom1 having issue with unresponsive keyboard & they gave me back with this .

Guys I am getting Error 21, and Device not Booted :( All my shit is there, I really need help

Lifesaver, tried every possible sequence but your demonstration on holding down the keys past the power down is what did the trick. Extremely poor instructions from Apple.

is it possible to boot from an ipad? thanks mate

you were very helpful

This has happened only 2 times to me. Both were from trying to get into startup options, rebooting (even back into boot picker) worked for me. This probably isn't the same for most people, but if anyone's getting it from a similar way, just try force shutting down and restarting.

Does the other (working laptop) have to be apple silicon as well? I have an extra laptip but its still intel based. Will it work?

Hi, I have a problem while I did the restore. I get the this error "FAiled to restore device in recovery mode, libusbrestore error:21 [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0x14 (21)]. Could anybody helm me futher. Thank You all in advance!

Factory reset made this to me!

Any fix for libusbrestore error 21  ?

hi mate. thanks for this video. i would like to know if is there an alternative solution for this issue? i don't have an extra macbook and i don't have friends who has. having problem to my M1 mate. i hope you may response asap. thanks mate

It worked! I love you bro

My sister recommended Techwizo .And he unlock my icloud .in no time

both the restore and revive options get stuck at step 2 for me. the loading part never loads and i’ve waited for 5-10 mins, still no progress. have any ideas about this issue?

this will work for many but if you can't get into DFU just throw it away. MOBO is dead

I have same laptop, can i restore it with macbook air m2

i’m in love with you. thank you for this

The idea bring another mac to fix another mac is absolutely
primitive. doesn't sound for 2023!

my 2 2015 macbook pros dont have type c what cable can I use to do this? thx.
