Need help restoring Mac Mini M4

Open jklv12 opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

I have followed tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzMa-f6u_YM&list=WL&index=21)

Unfortunately it did not work because of ERROR: Unable to discover device type

If somebody can guide me step by step it would be lovely.

reason for restore is while updating to latest beta 5 my mac froze in loading screen for a solid hour and i did the very stupid good old reboot which messed the mac and has been unresponsive ever since. ability to enter DFU zmode and Recovery mode exist, but no signal on the monitor ever.

help thanks.

That error message points out that libirecovery is not up to date. One day I should add a troubleshooting section to the readme and mention this.
