Solution for Sonoma: https://gist.github.com/sghiassy/a3927405cf4ffe81242f4ecb01c382ac
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)
Hi guys.
got 2019 MBP with BigSur as internet recovery, tried tricks which are worked with Ventura but no joy.
Tried to install OS from USB but boot from USB is not allowed
Tried on checkm8 but serial number not found plus wasn't able to put laptop into DFU neither
Anyone can help by any chance?
Thanks in advance
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!
