#APPLE MACBOOK PRO 2018 T2 CHIP CRASH MAC#

There are millions of Mac users whose Macs have T2 chips but who only have one Mac. You certainly donвЂ™t need a bootable recovery in a cloud service, as I donвЂ™t think any Mac can boot from a cloud service (other than AppleвЂ™s remote Recovery, which comes free).

You donвЂ™t need a spare bootable volume at all вЂ“ indeed with a T2-equipped Mac, you could only boot off that after enabling it in Recovery Mode, from which you could readily re-install macOS if necessary.

ItвЂ™s urgent for Apple to fix that T2 blocking, at least with official updating procedures! If itвЂ™s not possible, T2 should be improved, fixed, substituted, or whatever.

(I think you felt mildly nervous with last update and having to switch-on to complete the process. A mac is for specialists: I canвЂ™t recommend a friend to get a MacMini because вЂњit just worksвЂќвЂ¦ (and IвЂ™m not sure having the вЂњfort Knox of computersвЂќ that crashes, panics and turns вЂњbrickedвЂќ now and then is appealing for basic or enthusiast users). I feel unacceptable this security improvement in detriment of confidence and trustiness for some kind of non-pro users: Apple is pushing us to work with iOS. вЂ¦So, letвЂ™s recapitulate: for security is nice to have Time Machine, a bootable recent copy media, perhaps a safe copy in a cloud service, вЂ¦and if you use a T2 equipped mac, a second mac to вЂњrevive better than restoreвЂќ your slick work-computer, which is commonly known to get bricked with system updates, just a few times a year. On completion, youвЂ™ll then need to re-install macOS and restore the contents of your internal SSD. If revival is unsuccessful, or Internet recoveryOS is unsuccessful, or you canвЂ™t start the Mac from its startup volume or the recoveryOS, then the only option is to attempt to restore the firmware. If revival is successful, then you should be able to continue using that Mac very quickly. Reviving the firmware is usually needed if something, such as a mains power failure, interrupts a firmware update. If you must restore the firmware, that restores firmware on volumes on internal SSD storage, which destroys all existing data on your internal SSD. This is very important: if you can revive rather than restore, no data will be erased on that Mac. If you do have a second Mac with which to fix the sick one, study this document carefully, as it explains exactly what to do.ДЄpple draws a distinction between reviving and restoring the firmware. If you only have the one Mac, contact Apple Support, as the supported methods require a second Mac (which doesnвЂ™t need its own T2 chip) and the current release of Apple Configurator 2. If thereвЂ™s one thing you donвЂ™t want to happen with any Mac with a T2 chip itвЂ™s a problem with a firmware update.
