Hi, there.
I am in desperate need of help:
Our Macbook Air M1 with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD arrived just yesterday evening. I updated it to Big Sur 11.1 and then proceeded to restore from a TimeMachine backup of our mac Mini M1 running Big Sur 11.1. It was a fresh TimeMachine on an USB-C SSD. It recognized it and the installation process started as normal, but the progress bar stalled at "0 files". We let it run through the night, about 14 hours total, but no difference. Occasionally you could see LED activity on the attached USB SSD, but only short bursts. So I cancelled Migration Assistant and it crashed. I restarted the Macbook.
It now always starts into DFU/restore mode, showing a circled exclamation mark and the internet adress https://support.apple.com/mac/restore/. I can´t acess recovery mode while pressing the power button. On any boot attempt I end up in DFU/restore mode.
I have a Mac Mini M1, with which I tried the the processes of recovery/reviving/repairing via Apple Configurator 2 numerous times. I changed the cables, too, but to no avail. It always gives me the error "Failed to restore device in recovery mode, libusbrestore error:21 [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore – 0x15 (21)]"
Has anyone any idea or experienced similar behaviour with a possible solution?
All Apple Stores are closed due to the pandemic, so that´s not an option.
