    Apple MBP 2012 Retina lost Serialnumber

    just got a defective MBP 2012 Retina here. I resoldered the U8900 and it is working again, but now the Serial Number is missing. I downloaded several Blank Board Serializer from different sources and restored those on a USB-Stick. But non is working, all giving following error:

    Error: 8000000000000003, Cannot load 'EFI/Drivers/TestSupport.efi'
    Status: 0x00000003

    On here : https://de.ifixit.com/Antworten/Anse...+Hardware+Test i found it has something to do whit the newer Firmware.

    Now i need a newer version of BBS a way to restore the Serial in the EFI-Chip. I found a 25Q064A on the logicboard an i own a CH341A.

    What to do?

    Find a working bios and edit your serial into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poA8HByYqTM

        If you use the firmware from the spare logicboard you`d have to clean the ME firmware ,or find a working bios with clean ME firmware,and edit your serial into that.
