I worked on my Mac and the rpt version is 1.6.02.06240.
I followed all the instructions. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the late response. When you say "I do not see this", what did you see?

It looks like there have been several people reporting this, I'll check their firmware updates this weekend to see what is going on. BTW, when did you purchase your device?

I just bought it. The production date is Sep 2019. I did not see anything but the dpt just restarted and showed update failure.
Sony just upgraded the new firmware. If you keep updated on this, the problems will be of little importance if you can not fix it quickly.

Please refer to #141 . It seems they have fixed the updater script in diagnosis mode after Sept. 2019.

[HappyZ]

Just a bit more info. The new firmware does not fix the updater script bug. But it seems they choose to fix the bug for devices only after Sept. 2019.. What a weird decision..

[redirus]

Sorry but still confused. Do you mean that we can not root devices produced after Sep 2019 even when we update to the newest firmware now?

[HappyZ]

Yes. to clarify:

For devices manufactured after Sept 2019 (based on what people reported), they can no longer be rooted as they have a secured updater script in diagnosis mode.

For devices made before then, even with the latest firmware, they can be rooted, as they have an insecure diagnosis mode.

Thanks. I got some sense about 'weird'. I guess new solutions may come up in the near future.

请问目前有解决方法了吗？

Right now unless you know the official diagnosis password, no.

I know someone was looking into other possible exploits. But I haven't heard from him since then.
