Macbook Sleep Wake failure in EFI (Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f)

I have two macbook's, one model end 2018 and one model begin 2019.

They both suffer from the same problem with a fresh installation (also reset NVRAM, PRAM, SMC).


The crash reason: Sleep Wake failure in EFI

Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f


I already contacted Senior Support for this and have a running case for both.


If you run into the same problem, please let me know here.

To trace down the problem more info of different devices can be useful.


If I get feedback that solves it, I'll post it here.

I had the same problem, and finally found a very odd solution. In my case, after a lot of frustrating work, I traced the problem to an old USB hub I was using on my new mac. Once I disconnected the old USB hub, the problem immediately stopped. In my case, it was surprising and very lucky to discover that the problem seemed to be associated with an attached electronic component. Hope this helps you.

Im also having this problem, I just recently bought a refurbed MacBook Pro early 2015 I believe (works like a dream surprisingly!) but I upgraded to Catalina a few days ago and this is the first time it’s happened. I thought at first it was just because my mac was a refurb, but i’m glad i’m not the only one! I’d seen on another thread that this happens to a lot of people when their Mac dies instead of hibernating I believe? Not sure if that’s true, but mine was at really low power, it’s completely fine after plugging it in to a power source! I guess I have to make sure to keep it charged :/

First my fingerprint reader stopped reading my fingerprint. I couldn't open my macbook with my fingerprint anymore. Then other problem started. When I close the screen, the macbook can not awake anymore when I open the screen. I have to press Shift+Control+Option+open button for 10 seconds, then when I press the open button the computer awakes!!!


So silly! Whenever I close the screen to put my macbook to my bag, I have to do this everytime!!!

Ok, I think found a temporary solution that works for me, but I'm afraid most of you won't like it ... I installed BootCamp and Windows 10. In Windows, so far, everything seems to be working without problems. It's been working while charging, with a full battery on AC and on battery only, also checking in all these power situations whether sleep works. So far no hiccups.


This proves to me that it's not a hardware problem - I've already changed the battery and was contemplating to buy a new charger.


So, for now, I'll be using windows until Apple fixes the problem.

Same here. It is crashing when coming out of sleep and sometimes even when it is in sleep. Since 10.15.1

Same here, same MacBook, same error message, same replaced Samsung SSD, same new battery. Mine is the i7 version. I assumed I was just going to deal with this until they tell me my laptop is vintage and I need a new one to fix it. Catalina did seem to be the start of my problems. Word on the street- Even the new 16" MacBooks are doing this, so a new one won't even fix this bug.

Apr 21, 2020 12:47 PM in response to suzerella

could you let me know where the hibernation control is (I'm on a 16" brand new 2019 MacBook Pro that is doing this)? I went into energy saver and told it never to go to sleep, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to or something else. Even after I told it to never go to sleep, it did this for a fourth time.

Apr 21, 2020 3:18 PM in response to stlgal

Sorry, stlgal: I found it on a Reddit thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/dme38s/sleep_wake_failure_in_efi/

To disable hibernation, the command in terminal is: sudo pmset -a standby 0

To re-enable hibernation, command in terminal is sudo pmset -a standby 1

But that's insane you'd have the issue with a brand new MBP. I'd call Apple Support. It's a Catalina bug, and they need to fix it.
