✍🏻 How to use New Hfz T2 Premium Aio v2.1 for iBridgeOS 10.2/10.3 (Tethered Bypass)

📝 Note: "Tethered bypass" means the examples below scenarios:

➖ If you force-shutdown your Mac by holding the power button for 5 seconds or pressing it directly, it goes to lock again.
➖ If the battery runs out, it then goes to lock again.

✍🏻Tethered Bypass Steps :

➖First, put your locked Mac in DFU mode. Open the Hfz tool, select the correct model and iBridgeOS information from the tool list, then:

➖Click "Boot & Prepare" and wait for the jailbreak to complete.

➖ Now, click "Activate." You will see "success."

➖ Boot your Mac to Internet Recovery (Cmd + R //OR// Option + Cmd + R). Connect to Wi-Fi and proceed, waiting for the recovery to load.

➖ Once you reach the Language and Country selection page or Recovery assistant etc, you will encounter a freeze or get stuck (due to tethered bypass).

➖ Important: Unplug the cable and replug it. Close the Hfz tool and reopen it. Now, put the locked Mac back into DFU mode and click the "FastBoot" button. Once it's successful, wait for the Mac to boot up automatically. Otherwise, boot manually to recovery again ( By CMD+R //OR// (Option+CMD+R)) , then you can proceed.

➖ Once recovery mode appears: Go to Disk Utility > Erase SSD. Go back and install the OS.

Once the OS installation is done, the tethered bypass is completed. ✅

➖ Remember, this is a tethered bypass. You need to follow some steps and precautions to preserve the bypass. For example, do not use the power button directly to reboot or power off the Mac. Instead, use the Apple Menu option to reboot/shutdown the Mac safely. Also, make sure not to drain the battery completely; otherwise, you will have to revive the Mac again using the tool.

⚠️ Note: If you are on iBridgeOS 10.1 or lower, do not DFU restore/update your Mac with Apple Configurator or iBridgeOS 10.2. Otherwise, you will lose untethered compatibility support. You can still perform an untethered bypass if you are on iBridgeOS 10.1 or lower. The same applies in the near future: if you get any T2 Mac for bypass, check the iBridgeOS version first, then proceed accordingly until we find an untethered solution for the latest iBridgeOS. And if you are already on the latest iBridgeOS 10.2, you can use tethered Bypass, which is currently a possible solution.

🛑 iCloud Bypass currently not supported Latest iBridgeOS 10.4

🚧 Let’s wait for the T2 Tools to release a fix for the recent Apple Patch affecting the T2 iCloud Bypass Service, for the new iBridgeOS version 10.4 & MacOS Tahoe 26.4/Sequoia 15.7.5/Sonoma 14.8.5 In the meantime, try to stay on the lowest version possible if you are already done with the iCloud Bypass on T2 Macs, and if you are going to bypass, then avoid restoring your Mac with Apple Configurator, as it will result in an update to iBridgeOS 10.4, which is not supported for the bypass at the moment.

❌ For already bypassed Macs, don't use OTA updates from settings, as it will directly update to Tahoe 26.4/Sequoia 15.7.5/Sonoma 14.8.5 which is not supported for bypass at the moment. For safe use, use OTA blockers to avoid mistakes or turn off Automatic Updates & Security Updates from the settings.
