The Downside
- 2018 MBP Is not going to boot utilizing Web Restoration, nor another kind of Restoration to date.
- Get number of errors – 1008f, 2300f, 2100f.
- 2018 MBP is operating Large Sur (presumably a current beta model, icr)
- Have up to date 2011 iMac to Excessive Sierra 10.13.6. It is transferring slowly, but it surely’s positively transferring. It is a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, loads of free disk house – 1.76TB.
- I’ve most essential stuff on the MBP backed up, however involved on account of medical causes that important issues could not have been backed up in current instances – my eye has been off the ball considerably…
- I actually wish to entry the Information on the MBP if I presumably can.
- I worry the Logic Board would possibly be on it is method, however hope I can salvage one thing.
What I’ve Tried Already
- Up to date iMac to HS, to create bootable installer of Excessive Sierra utilizing Terminal instructions. It is Prolonged Quantity, not AFPS. Could make one other in AFPS if it is going to remotely assist.
- MBP didn’t boot to it. Nonetheless brings up Community immediate which in the end appears to trigger the fail every time.
- MBP seems to course of connecting the MBP to WiFi Community every time, however then produces number of error codes on the finish, even when utilizing bootable installer and Choice key.
12 Have even put complete Excessive Sierra OS on exterior drive, endeavouring to successfully use exterior drive as a Mac Mini with ailing MBP simply the display screen. Nope. Nonetheless needs to hook up with to Community (that is for the Firmware, afaik?) - Have at this time linked MBP to iMac utilizing Thunderbolt 3 cable and USB-C to Thunderbolt adaptor.
- Endeavouring besides utilizing Goal Disk Mode.
- Can see MBP Macintosh HD – Information in Disk Utility, however can not carry out First Help, nor Mount it. IMAGE BELOW
- Even have a Drive titled Replace in externals, which appears to indicate the Information and ?(Large Sur beta replace?) possibly? (I have not known as it Replace, and I am not fairly positive what it’s) IMAGE BELOW
- Tried Terminal instructions to Confirm Information, getting a wide range of Permission Denied errors. IMAGE BELOW
- Tried diskutil verifyDisk disk2 which supplies:
Unable to confirm this complete disk: A GUID Partition Desk (GPT) partitioning scheme is required (-69773) - Tried diskutil verifyDisk disk2s1 (that is the quantity(?) with the information on) which supplies:
“A complete disk have to be specified” - Downloaded iBoysoft to try to get better knowledge.
- It could see the Information, however there is a padlock on the Drive and it is asking: “Please enter the password of your encrypted APFS partition” IMAGE BELOW
- Questioning if this can be a FireVault factor? I am unsure if it is switched on, on the MBP or not. Whether it is, I’ve completely no thought what the encrypted partition password is, nor the place I would discover such data.
- Apparently, I can run iBoysoft Information Restoration in macOS Restoration mode.
- I am unsure if this will probably be sophisticated as a result of I’m additionally utilizing Goal Disk Mode, moderately than operating iBoysoft straight on the affected MBP, as a result of I am unable to. A search of the iBoysoft FAQs fails to supply a solution to this question.
Subsequent Steps
- Is there any level in creating one other Bootable Installer, this time as APFS, moderately than Prolonged Quantity?
- The place can I discover the encrypted APFS password information? (I am not satisfied I’ve one, however it might have switched on by default?) I’m a satan for recording passwords so if I used to be conscious this existed, I completely would have made a observe of it. What wouldn’t it appear like format-wise?
- And the place would I enter it for the Disk Utility or Terminal to have the ability to entry ‘MBP Macintosh HD – Information’?
- Would getting into the command immediate sudo Fsck_APFS /dev/disk2s1 do something useful?
- I’ve a 2019 MBP operating Large Sur which thoughtfully concurrently fell over. This occurred whereas I used to be awaiting supply of the super-fast Thunderbolt 3 cable to do the information switch. It has refused to modify on since, so I’m just about caught with the 2011 iMac as rescuer for now. (And sure, I’ve tried all the same old suspects NVRAM, SMC on the lifeless second MBP and so forth)
I’m an absolute novice in any respect of this, so please communicate ** s l o w l y ** to me in easy phrases. That is my first publish and I am doing my finest…
