Most of the fixes have been posted in the parent thread (the one this one is forked from) for the past few years. If you have a MacBook with a T2 or newer M-Series chip, you need another Mac and ways to isolate network connectivity. Activation lock is not bypassed in any cases. For those scammed, seek legal actions or financial claims against the seller or payment method (if bought from a reputable market place and/or credit card, etc. with those protections.)
