No luck. My 2012 Mac Mini never restarted during a Catalina security update. Now it won't power up at all. I tried this reset and the SMC reset from the other video. Nothing happens. No chimes, no light, no signal to the monitor. Nothing. The drives are okay... I've been able to remove then and mount them to another machine externally and the data is intact. It seems like a firmware issue. Is there a way to reset the firmware while connecting it to another machine, like the recent instructions that are out for the T2 chip or silicon macs?

Not sure mate. Generally you need a second device.

Ahh, the classic DFU mode. I used to put my iPhone in this mode to jailbreak it. As you said, it's the same method, that's why you need another Mac device, all you need is MacOS to run the tool, hence the second device.

hi. thank you for the great video. i am having a problem with a late 2012 27" imac. the firmware bootrom is stuck on 422.0.0 and will not update, i have spent countless hours trying to make it work. the only OS i have been able to install on it so far is 10.95 mavericks. every other Os after that goes so far along in the install routine and just before it finishes i get the 'this OS cannot be installed on your computer. I have another imac - exactly the same as the other one, which has a bootrom of 429.?.? (dont quite remember the exact number) this one allows me to install an os right up to catalina. - sorry for the long winded explanation of the problem in order to get to my question - can i do something similar to what you are doing in this video on a late 2012 27" Imac?

[@123myIT]

Yes so Catalina is the last mac OS that is support by 2012 Macs. Unless you want to hack the Mac. You have a few options. BootCamp Windows or run the hacks that will allow the upgrade to later Mac OS. or Buy a new Mac "what apple wants" :)

Did you have an iCloud backup? First try reviving the computer. If that fails or if you can’t start the Mac from the startup volume or the recoveryOS, you must restore the firmware and erase the internal flash storage.

Because the hardware is new. The software hasn't caught up yet. Its a big change from Intel to Apple chips. My advice is to make sure you update the Mac OS updates first before you do anything else.
