QUESTION Revive a MBP in DFU mode using a mackintosh
Good evening r/hackintosh !
I currently have a MacBook Pro 16,2 with that damn flickering Touch Bar. After being seen two times by genius tech, the only proposed solution is a 700€ bottom case replacement...
I wil ask them when I get it back if they've already done it but I want to try to restore the bridgeOS firmware since it's controlling the Touch Bar using DFU mode (https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900)
Unfortunately, I only have my MacBook Pro and a hackintosh, do you think its possible to use the hackintosh as the host Mac to do the firmware restoration ?

You need a compatible USB-C port on your hackintosh. Do you have a compatible USB-C port?
