Hadarai5··on Tell HN: Trying to update to macOS 15.7.5 bricked my M2 MacBook Pro
I faced the same issue! Here's copy-paste from my comment on Reddit

Macbook Pro 16' M2 Max 64/1TB

Just solved the problem by reviving to MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file.

Linkes I used:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900 (official guide to get to DFU)

https://mrmacintosh.com/restore-macos-firmware-on-an-apple-s... (mr macintosh guide to do the same)

https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-... (mr Macintosh links to .ipsw files, including 26.3.1 image)

Steps I took:

Connect to Macbook to mac mini M1 via USB-C 3.1 gen1 cable (to right port)

use script from Asahi to get into DFU https://github.com/AsahiLinux/macvdmtool

Then drag and drop MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file downloaded from mrmacintosh (link 3).

Accept "restore" (didn't try revive, might work?)

Wait + get apple logo on bricked Macbook

My story started with Apple authorized service who wanted to replace logic board for 1000$.
