2019.12 HD Driver install bricked my MBP
Like the title says.
PT 2019.12 Ultimate had been working on this machine (late 2019 16" MBP - see sig) with generic USB interfaces (e.g., Aphex 500 Rack). Today was the day I was to move my HD Native system from my 2009 Mac Pro (see sig) to the new MacBook Pro, using a Sonnet Echo Express III TB-PCIe Expansion chassis. No problem with the HW install. Mac System Information indicated all as expected. Hooked up my Mini DigiLink cables - no detection of HD I/Os nor OMNI. Internet sleuthing indicated drivers need be installed after PT. OK, I'll install the drivers. Driver install process reaches a dialog that indicates system will reboot. System goes down... Apple logo... Progress bar... About 95%... About 95%... About 95%... After about a half hour, I powered off and back on Apple logo... Progress bar... About 95%... About 95%... About 95%... After another 20 minutes or so, I powered off and powered back up into safe mode (hold Shift key). Apple logo... Progress bar... About 95%... About 95%... About 95%... It's been over an hour now. The PT HD Driver install process has evidently bricked my computer to the point that safe mode does not even work. Any ideas how to get past this? PT on the MBP is 2019.12 Ultimate - matching driver release.

NB: PT might not work with Thunderbolt 3 chassis.
I would start your laptop in target disk mode and trash /Library/Extensions/DigiDal.kext. See if that helps... (obviously you'll need another Mac to do this)

MBP 16" Has only TB ports - which I guess operate as USB also. My Mac Pro 2009 of course has no TB. But it has USB. But that would require an A-A cable. Not sure I have such. I think I have an old 17" MBP - which likely has FW. But how to bridge that to TB? Can anyone point me at a reference? Don't know if I've used target mode in the last decade. Fumbling.

Hmmm. Connecting it up to an OWC TB2 dock, connected to ethernet.
I can ping it. ssh gets connection refused. Not sure if I've ever tried to ssh into it before.

Re: 2019.12 HD Driver install bricked my MBP
Have you done the security settings so the new Macbook is allowed to see the interface as apple changed that with Mojave and upwards so you might need to set the security settings manually.
And also do you have the digilink license on your ilok key as thats needed after PT12.6 HD which might be included in Ultimate and if it is then it will be inside your ultimate bundle on the iLok. Otherwise you have a $299 purchase to take care of before you can use the card and interface. What PT version was the last you used with You card and digilink interface before going to Ultimate and had it working? If it was PT10HD (On the old mac pro) then you NEED the Digilink license..

Re: 2019.12 HD Driver install bricked my MBP
My 2018 MBP had similar hanging when an eGPU was attached. Unplugging it while OSX loads, then plugging it in after the desktop appeared seemed to work fine in sorting it out. It randomly stopped happening one day, I think after an OSX update. Have you tried doing something similar?
TB3 isn't technically supported with HDX and Pro Tools yet. There are details about it on the Sonnet website. Their solution is to downgrade the Echo Express III to TB2... it costs $150 though. With that being said, Avid have announced TB3 versions of HDX using custom sonnet enclosures so TB3 support might be appearing in the next Pro Tools release.

FWIW, PT 2019.12 Ultimate worked on the new MBP with USB interfaces before trying to move the HD Native system over to that new machine. DOes this answer the security settings question? Quote:
