If you find a EFI-dump for your machine in the web check it if it is unlocked.įinally save your newEFI.bin and flash it back to your chip like described above. You will see your ME-version and that it is locked. Once you extract the folder, just drag and drop your EFI-file onto the MEA.bat file, a cmd window will open and give you the info. You can check your EFI version by analyzing your machine´s EFI-dump with ME-Analyzer: There are a lot of places where you can download EFI-dumps (clean or not) for free. In my case I found a complete clean EFI-dump for my machine in the web. In best case the MacBook will run but veeeery slow. So in turn, if your management engine gets corrupted, and you try to copy the EFI from another MacBook of the same model, it will still not work because the CPU knows it’s not the original EFI-BIOS. When a new MacBook is turned on for the first time the Bios and the CPU perform a "handshake" allowing them to work together.

How to modify/ repair the dump- / donor-file:Įxplanation: The MacBook will not run properly or not run at all without a proper management engine. If you haven’t run into any problems you will have a freshly flashed chip Sudo flashrom -v newEFI.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 (Optional) Verify the chips contents with the file that you just wrote to ensure its integrity: Sudo flashrom -w newEFI.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0

Sudo flashrom -E -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0Īfter modifying the donor-file write it back: I compared the files with a hexeditor HxD: Įrase the chip after you have verified all three reads have no differences: Now make sure the three dumps are absolutely identical!! Sudo flashrom -r oldefi1.bin -c "MX25L1605" -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 If the SPI ROM wouldn’t be recognized type the SPI ROM number manually: Sudo flashrom -r oldefi1.bin -V -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 Read the flash chip by using the below command three times:

Now comes the start of the Flashrom process: It will be downloaded into a folder called "flashrom" so change directory into the folder: Then you need to download the latest flashrom version: After that we can download Flashrom and configure it.įirst install a few libraries that Flashrom relies on:
