Tell HN: Trying to update to macOS 15.7.5 bricked my M2 MacBook Pro

4•ValentineC•1h ago
It looks like the latest versions of macOS are bricking certain M2 devices:

Sequoia: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/1s5np92/macbook_pro_m2_max_bricked_sequoia_1575/

Tahoe:

- https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-26-4-update-broke-mbp.2480025/

My machine completely blacked out after rebooting to update. That was quite a shock.

I managed to fix it by forcing it into DFU mode (it required quite a few attempts), begging a family member to let me use Apple Configurator on their Mac, and reviving using the 15.6.1 IPSW. I'm not sure everyone has my resources or luck.

I've never had to do crap like this in the 21 years I've owned a Mac. Apple's software team is in the gutter these days.

Ah - good call out! That's why I never hurry with the upgrades ...

What's extremely scary is that this is just a patch release.

I was going from 15.7.4 to 15.7.5, not to a new major version like Tahoe.
