Revive/Restore Macbook Air M1

What do you mean by "Revive/Restore"? What's the problem prompting you to do this?

If you goal is to reinstall the OS, there are more direct, and simpler means, of doing that and you don't need a second Mac. You may need a good backup (you always do of course) if you wipe and reinstall, but reinstallation from the Recovery panel (Command + R) does not touch personal data, installed apps or user settings.

Recover panel takes about 40 minutes and once started it will do its thing and return you to the login screen.

Of course M1 Macs are a bit different: https://eshop.macsales.com/blog/74502-boot-an-m1-mac-into-recovery-mode/

I experienced same issue and error, lost my projects and personal data. Just 70days old machine. I tried the everything with DFU mode and Command + R but no luck. Given to apple authorized service center, they asking 7-10 business days to replace logical board.

Wasted money first time.....

Bingo! Always best to let Apple handle the problem when the device us still under warranty.

Time Machine routine usage is an excellent hedge against data loss. Dedicate an external drive to the task, set it up and let it do its job.

Exactly same thing happened to me, closed machine and opened next day morning for work then got same error with URL https://support.apple.com/mac/restore

Why they wanted to replace the board? That’s a software issue right?

No, that would be a hardware problem.

Things fail. It happens. No abuse or accident is required.

It should be covered under warranty if it's less than a year old.

The warranty should cover it if it's less than a year old.

AppleCare+ extends the warranty. You do not need to purchase it for standard warranty coverage.
