I am facing this issue from last 2 months . my macbook pro is stuck at critical software issue and all I can use is its safe mode. Please if anyone knows how to fix this ?

Apple service centre people have tried reinstalling macOS and that is also not successful. reinstallation doesnt complete . Can you at least guide me through the process ?

Error while software update Trying to install a software update, but it keeps erroring out. Trying to update the entire MacOS to Ventura, it also errors out after a couple minutes. I have tried to do this using safe mode and it still ends up with similar results

I'm unsure why this is happening and would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions on how to resolve this problem. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue during a software update? If so, what steps did you take to successfully update your MacBook? Thank you in advance for your help!"

A Critical software update is required, but.. I had macOS Catalina, and one day after restarting I was greeted with the screen saying “A critical software update is required for your mac” and I can’t use it without updating it (I cannot bypass the screen there is no option for exit/close) When I click update it fails to install the critical update. I am able to boot to safe mode successfully but touch bar, sound, camera and other stuff don’t work I have tried: • Reseting SMC and NVRAM • Erasing my disk and re-installing macOS Catalina (⌘ + R) and macOS Sierra(shift+option+⌘ + R) after installing shows the same screen and again fails. •Connecting to internet via LAN, WiFI, personal hotspot (all of these work in safe mode but still fails to install in normal mode) • Also tried to install macOS Mojave form usb, also shows me the same screen Is there anything else I should try it seems like a software problem right? Apple service center in my country wants $900+ to replace te entire bottom case of my mac. And I would rather but a new mac instead of paying 900
