Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the flashing process stop midway?
The most likely cause is the SSD not being properly seated. Ensure it is fully inserted and securely connected, then restart the flashing process. If the issue persists, contact our customer support team.

Yes. You can complete the reinstallation using a Windows PC with iTunes installed — a second Mac is not required.
