Imposible to get USB activity, if no CPU core voltage present!
Do not confuse between USB power and activity.
We explained lot of times here how to test for USB ACTIVITY.

Try known good BIOS, clean ME.

What DFU, it doesn't have T2 chip...

So you get voltage at L7210/20 with battery alone, but no voltage with charger only?

That is very strange, because there should be no voltage with battery alone, untill press the power button.

With charger alone, which coils get voltage?

There is something strange, please check again L7210/20 voltage:
- with charger alone; not pulsing in first seconds?
- with battery alone; do not press power button.
- with charger and battery, both present.

CPU core voltage should not appear on battery alone, before pressing power button.

So no steady 1.8V at L7210/20 in any case?
Board should start with aprox 1V and drops to 0.6V when boots.

Is there cycling pulse?
Other big coils get steady voltage?
Did you try to start in SMC bypass mode?

L7210/20 steady 0-0.3v with battery and without
L7310/30 1.8v with battery. 0v without battery

No cycling pulse
Other big coils get steady voltage
smc bypass not working

1.8V is to high, and cannot appear on battery alone; until press the power button.
L7310/30 appear on your schematic???
