Hi even after holding on recovery it still opens up this screen, any way to bypass this? 20230423_125104

I have the same issue. I can't boot to recovery mode because of this. Do you have recommendations to go through this? I have Macbook Pro M1 2021 14" @aviloveN @predragcvetkovski @Jbb08 @eternalgod @maclover696 @mikevic18

Seems like it has been locked by administrator after being enrolled in the MDM. you need another device with T2 chip to reinstall this one via DFU mode.

Worked like a charm with my MDM macbook.

Do you happen to know if this would also work with icloud issue macbook?

If someone's interested, I made a gist with some sh scripts that should allow you to setup a MDM locked Mac as brand new;

What is your model?

My model is M1 Pro 14inch 2021. The good news is I was able to bypass the login page while installing Monetery following a YT video.

The weird part is if I'm trying to add the apple domains in terminals it says denied.

I swear this took like 3 days seriously 😂

@aviloveN I have the same activation lock but I can't get pass through it. Can you share the YT video or what you did to bypass the activation lock?

Hello my friends, you guys helped me tremendously back in August of 2020 with my 2019 MBP on 10.15.6 with blocking MDM using the steps pictured in the posted screenshot (sorry I found a quoted version first). Anyway, I try to never be that guy that doesn't read all of the posts on a thread before commenting but I've been reading through for about two hours and wow has this thread grown over the past almost 4 years now!

Anyhow, I have been scared to ever update the above said MBP and am still on that OS however now things are starting to kick me out because I am on such an old version. Can't even use Safari anymore without things not loading.

So my question: I have been reading all over the place on here as to what I should do step by step to update and still keep MDM blocked. I know things have changed a bit since 2020 lol. I have full admin access and no MDM issues as of right now. Does that mean I can do something without erasing the full hard drive? Will I have to do a reinstall? Would my ol' dusty 2015 non-MDM MBP be of any need? Should I "chip?" it to change the serial number? Would it be easier to just hit update and then use Checkm8 if I get to the "Remote Management" popup? Sorry for all these questions but that's where I got after reading through so many posts tonight. Any help would be awesome before I randomly just try to jump into something. Thanks a ton for now so far and ~4 years ago!

Updated to Sonoma for a week already. Using M1 MacBook Pro with only blocked hosts.

So I know just enough technical stuff to make myself dangerous, but I wanna make sure I understand. So I'm on Ventura 13.0. Are you saying you just went to system settings and updated to Sonoma without doing anything other than keeping the blocked hosts? Or did you have to remove the blocked hosts, update, then do it again. I'm just trying to find a step by step to not brick my machine.

If you want to feel safer, you can turn off your router after the GUI installation of the update (during the GUI installation it requires internet connection, but after that no)
