This works but the values use in dd are not adequate for every case. Here the author of the original post explains why: Original post of this solution. Basically you are stripping the header of the file by skipping 44 bytes with dd but that value varies from file to file, as it happened to me.
The solution is to use a hex editor I suggest on a copy of the broken file and delete everything from the beginning up to the end of the word "mdat". In my case it was 28 bytes instead of I use 0xED as a hex editor on mac it's free and runs on the latest mac OS, Mojave, as of this writing.
Also, for mac you can install faad using Homebrew by running. You may need to specify the file sample rate if different from 44,Hz when using faad with the switch -s. If faad returns this error Error: Maximum number of bitstream elements exceeded it could mean that you deleted too many bytes from the beginning of the file, as it happened to me at first. Lastly, once you process the raw file with faad you will want to reencode the m4a file to make sure you have a proper and compatible file, this can easily be done with ffmpeg.
