A1465 EMC2924 EFI location.

Hi, it's my first time R/w an EFI/bios. I have bus pirate and pomona clip, I want to know where efi is located on this model macbook air.

I have done many macs using bruteforce but this one not succeed.

I think this is the guy... Winbond ic right?

I measured a pinout on test points. Can somebody help me with data sheet of this ic?

Thanks, I'm gonna try and let you know how it goes.

Here is pinout on board...

No eeprom detected on flashrom. After solder all wires and try to read it, flashrom cant find the efi chip.

I run buspirate commands to check it and when I tried with their commands on terminal I get vreg is to low.

I measured all wires and check for short but everything is ok.

Can I try something different or do I need to desolder ic from board?

Goodluck bypassing it I had no luck with EFIDL or the other kind of unlockers by probing the vcc pin and or by using a probe tool on 3.3volt location on MB. Eventually I bricked the mac because I was trying everything under the sun and had the MAGSAFE plugged up while connecting the internal battery connector which I know was foolish. Now MBA Fan cuts on and off reloops over and over. I pulled board swapped with another board and now good to go lol

So, did you tried desoldering the efi and program out of the board? Also did you tried change the chip for a new one?

Here is my update.....

EFDL didnt work with this MBA, it detect chip and finish the process but not done,EFI pass remain there.

So I used easy flash to connect with my bus pirate and it wok with this setting:
1- PC off.
2- Battery connected.
3- Magsafe Connected.
