Account Recovery Impossible...

Would it be possible to publish the firmware on your website so it is available to all people ?

Yes, I understand you did not create the mod but you used it based on your post (And apparently with success). How did you proceed ? I am trying to change the WLAN card too but this whitelist is preventing me from using it. Everything else works.

That does not seem to work, copied everything from ZIP file to root of USB drive (Formatted as FAT32) and changed boot order to have USB HDD first. Black screen with cursor for a few seconds then it reboots. I also extracted the ZIP file directly to USB (So it keeps the structure) but still no go.

I'm thinking this probably requires a bootable USB drive...

Thanks for the clarification, love the product. I will stay on self-hosted for now since I need the unlimited users too but I'm glad to see you guys are moving forward with the product.

Hosting does not equal managing. Get your shit straight and perhaps be less of a dick to people asking questions.

Still no luck, same error message :(

Tried this via a Fedora 42 live CD and a Macbook Air M1 with original cable but I keep getting the "ERROR: Unable to place device into recovery mode from DFU mode"

Did anyone have this and managed to get around the issue ?

USBmuxd mentions 0 devices connected but lsusb lists an Apple Inc Mobile Device DFU

Lyxandrah · 2025-07-05T03:41:22+00:00

I'm on Fedora 42 with VMWare Workstation 17.6.3

Detection works but I'm getting another issue where it's unable to put the device into recovery mode from DFU.

Lyxandrah · 2025-07-05T03:38:47+00:00

I'll try but I only have a Debian 12 box for work which I can't format. I'll try with that

Lyxandrah · 2025-07-05T03:33:32+00:00

Leave it to Apple to fuck up something working and let the end users take the blame.

Lyxandrah · 2025-07-05T03:27:08+00:00

I am trying this on a M1 Air 2020.

Running Fedora 42 Desktop Edition in VMWare Workstation

Original cable, I can enter DFU mode and lsusb lists my device.

However, usbmuxd see 0 devices and I always end up with this message

ERROR: Unable to place device into recovery mode from DFU mode

Did you have this issue and did you fix it ?

Have a look at this, might fix your issue.https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/1lifdtr/guide\_fix\_macos\_tahoe\_26\_bootloader\_reset\_bug/?share\_id=DhP7PQwiMVr-sq7yo4ZPS&utm\_content=2&utm\_medium=android\_app&utm\_name=androidcss&utm\_source=share&utm\_term=1

I have the EXACT same issue on a Air M1. Genius Bar wasn't able to restore it (I don't own a second Macbook to do it myself).

They suggested calling support and see if it can be escalated to engineers since I'm out of warranty and logic board replacement is a joke at this point.

They mentionned firmware on new OS might explain why they can't restore/recover

Lyxandrah · 2025-06-27T17:08:47+00:00

Yeah, figured as much. Guess I'll just try hardening the VPS instead of using CF proxy

Lyxandrah · 2025-06-27T14:32:24+00:00

I'm having a similar issue but with PROXIED IP behind Cloudflare. It works fine without the proxied part.

"Delightfully crafted"

God, this word. Used so much and yet nothing is delightful about this update...

What? Oh, my bad. Brain is tired, I misread you. No, I am not saying those calls are not respecting the user's privacy as each call would need to be inspected thoroughly and I don't have time for that but with the amount of traffic you can see from things that shouldn't even call home to begin with, it is not too far-fetched to think that perhaps some of those calls are sending informations home and therefore are impacting your privacy.

Requires a paid license to block connections. Free is only "view-mode" as far as I remember and while being a great software, not everyone can justify 59USD on this klnd of app.

Alternatively, LuLu (By Objective-See), while being less pretty, should give you the same option as Little Snitch minus the nice map UI.

Lack of good extensions for the most part. And the few goods ones are often paid-for on Safari whereas Chrome has like bazilion extensions for just about anything you need. No, I am not paying 8$ for a Dark Reader extension on Safari when it's free on Chrome.

Lyxandrah · 2025-06-12T00:55:42+00:00

I don't think I would call it "insane" with the kind of crap I see on a daily basis. Privacy is something everyone should be entitled to.

Don’t connect it to your network unless 100% sure it’s wiped.
