It was typing \ character countineously.
Startup options stopped working, no boot menu etc.
Installed clover, which put macbook into startup chime reboot loop.
Ghostlyhaks has been resourceful! Thank you!
Used raspberry pi 3.
Downloaded bin file from ghostlyhaks repository.
Changed serial number. Erased EFI chip. Wrote modified bin file to EFI chip.
Now no startup chime loop. Startup options working. Could install Windows 10 when macos installation got stuck at progress bar. No more repeat \ key, so keyboard is fine.
But unable to install macos successfully.
Also startup chime comes 20 seconds after power key pressed.
Kindly please guide!
Thanks!
I used Raspberry Pi & this clip "Programmer Testing Clip SOP8 SOP SOIC 8 SOIC8 DIP8 DIP 8 Pin IC Test Clamp" soldered wires to top pins. www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-Programmer-Testing-Clip-SOP8-SOP-SOIC-8-SOIC8-DIP8-DIP-8-Pin-IC-Test/32615107596.html
I took EFI-ROM from repository, changed serial number. But still macbook was unable to finish booting process from even macos bootable USB.
Then I tried to find clean ME region, but I could not find at win-raid list. So I copied ME region from original dump of my EFI, which I had backed up earlier put in serial modified EFI-ROM. Then burned it to EFI chip & everything worked!
I think ROM should match EMC number (from bottom of macbook)
ROM you mentioned in other post should work.
About ME Region read here : www.ghostlyhaks.com/blog/apple-efi/25-clean-me-region
I had put SN modified ROM, but I had issue with booting macbook or installing new macOS, hence I realized I need to change ME region data too.
