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.

I got the same error on my iMac 2019 (Failure code:: 0xffffffff 0x0000001f). In addition, often I would have to turn off power to my iMac to be able to reboot. After days of working on the problem (Apple had no idea why this was happening), I discovered that it was my USB hub. It was an older hub, and whenever I plugged it into the back of my iMac I would get this Sleep Wake failure after about 3 minutes and the machine would reboot. When I removed the hub and plugged devices directly into the back of my iMac, everything worked fine.

Sadly no, reporting to Apple respond with reinstalling empty and start over, problem is that I don’t have time doing this over and over again.


I understand they are trying to pin down the cause. Wondering if a 16” model has this issue too with the same software I use. Thinking of buying one to try cause these crashes are a pain in the *** :)


Especially because iCloud resyncs all data every time and takes up days to complete.

same I have this issues too on Catalina 10.15.3 for MacBook Air 2019

I bought my MacBook to apple almost 10 time by now and spoke to plenty of worker at the genius bar but none of them were able to find a solution for it. its getting so annoying at this point putting your computer to sleep and unable to wake it up unless you hard reset it losing progress on work.
