Changing kIOMainPortDefault to just 0 should work. Hoping to test and submit PR, but documenting it for now.

Hi,

thank you for this amazing tool. I'm trying to create a script around it to be able to have some kind of reinstall station that would detect if a macbook is connected and then install the latest ipsw.
I have it kinda worked out but I want to be able to detect an Intel mac. Do you think it could be possible to implement?

Thanks!

Hello 👋 !

While trying out this project we found out that USB C 2.0 cables with Power Delivery only work well.

I'm opening this issue because we have read the warning about SS cables, and we thought ours was but it wasn't 😂 We scratched our head until we understood that this cable had the required CC pins for high power charging. Those cables are a bit less expensive than the real USB 3.0 type C cables.

Thanks for the awesome tool ! ❤️

Hi team,

I've been leveraging this tool to automate doing DFU restores of Macs. However I noticed that it does not seem to have any option to support multiple macs in parallel

If you have two (or more) Macs connected and run the tool, it seems to just pick one and DFU reboot it, even if that machine was already in progress of doing a DFU restore

Would it be possible to add a "device select" option on the DFU boot option?

Just curious, I know it has a thunderbolt port...
