I faced the same issue! Here's copy-paste from my comment on Reddit Macbook Pro 16' M2 Max 64/1TB Just solved the problem by reviving to MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file. Linkes I used: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900 (official guide to get to DFU) https://mrmacintosh.com/restore-macos-firmware-on-an-apple-s... (mr macintosh guide to do the same) https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-... (mr Macintosh links to .ipsw files, including 26.3.1 image) Steps I took: Connect to Macbook to mac mini M1 via USB-C 3.1 gen1 cable (to right port) use script from Asahi to get into DFU https://github.com/AsahiLinux/macvdmtool Then drag and drop MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file downloaded from mrmacintosh (link 3). Accept "restore" (didn't try revive, might work?) Wait + get apple logo on bricked Macbook My story started with Apple authorized
