A1990 - 2018 - no update/fresh install possible

[quasimodo]

Hey guys,

got a strange mac here.

Every time i try to install a fresh OSX, it keeps me saying one update is needed. TOUCH-ID not working. Just the board.


Every possiblity tried. DFU reset or what should i try?

Any more information about what kind of update is required?
Did you try DFU restore?

 

[quasimodo]

no DFU restore tried.

just try to install ventura/monterey.

internet recovery catalina gone trough.

"a software update is requiered" - in a loop.

So you can install Catalina?

As you don't have anything to save, try DFU restore.

dfu restore made it.

i love the t2, touch id and all this amazing stuff
