Internet Recovery Crashing

MacBook Air 13-inch, 2020 A2179, boots only into Internet Recovery and crashes at the end. Currently I am not able to boot up any other way.

Error: support.apple.com/mac/startup -2003F or -2005F (w/world & triangle w/exclamation)

Macbook pro Internet recovery not working Hi, I was preparing my 2020 Macbook pro (Intel) for sale using the "Erase all content and settings" program. I wanted to reinstall a clean MacOS and since the "Erase all content", the Macbook starts immediately in "Internet Recovery" mode. I can choose a Wifi and it starts the recovering process and my Wifi access point shows some traffic. After 20-30 min it ends with an ! in the rotating globe and an error message support.apple.com/mac/startup -2003F or -2005F. So I tried to create a bootable USB device and boot from this, but whatever key I press (hold Option key while booting or "Command + R") during boot, I always end up at the Internet Recovery mode. So any ideas? Stefan

Here's an article on the subject: About macOS Recovery on Intel-based Mac computers - Apple Support

Note there is a link for Apple silicon. You didn't say which processor you have; our 2020 is an Intel.

It is intel based processor, and I’ve already tried all those options . Still not able to boot up in recovery or USB boot.
