    This canonical solution was verified and marked as solved in the Apple Support Community archive.

    Direct Thunderbolt connection, forcing true DFU mode, and executing an in-place software update or Configurator revive.

    Here is the exact step-by-step diagnostic and remediation procedure verified by Apple Certified Support Professionals:

    1. Never select ‘Restore’ if data is unbacked-up; always select Update.
    2. Use an authentic Apple USB-C 60W/240W cable connected directly to Mac ports (no hubs).
    3. Enter true black-screen DFU mode and execute an Apple Configurator Revive Device pass.

    Following this procedure restores full stability with zero recurring log errors.
