My case was not easy, as I needed to update the firmware. However, I followed the instructions on the Checkm8 website and then everything went smoothly from there. A computer that was blocked for years is now alive again. Totally recommendable.

So I had previously done the activation bypass and it worked, but recently I had updated to the latest version and tried to redo the process but kept getting "Preparing error" so now I'm stuck back on activation lock.
