I faced the same issue! Here's copy-paste from my comment on Reddit
Macbook Pro 16' M2 Max 64/1TB
Just solved the problem by reviving to MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file.
Linkes I used:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900 https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900 (official guide to get to DFU)
https://mrmacintosh.com/restore-macos-firmware-on-an-apple-silicon-mac-boot-to-dfu-mode/ https://mrmacintosh.com/restore-macos-firmware-on-an-apple-s... (mr macintosh guide to do the same)
https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-ipsw-firmware-files-database/ https://mrmacintosh.com/apple-silicon-m1-full-macos-restore-... (mr Macintosh links to .ipsw files, including 26.3.1 image)
Steps I took:
Connect to Macbook to mac mini M1 via USB-C 3.1 gen1 cable (to right port)
use script from Asahi to get into DFU https://github.com/AsahiLinux/macvdmtool https://github.com/AsahiLinux/macvdmtool
Then drag and drop MacOS 26.3.1 .ipsw file downloaded from mrmacintosh (link 3).
Accept "restore" (didn't try revive, might work?)
Wait + get apple logo on bricked Macbook
My story started with Apple authorized service who wanted to replace logic board for 1000$.
