MacBook Pro 2019 won’t finish Internet Recovery (-2002F / -2003F)
Hi all,
I’m working on a 2019 MacBook Pro (Intel, T2 chip) and I’m stuck trying to get macOS back on it.
On boot, I see the flashing folder with a question mark, then it goes straight into Internet Recovery (spinning globe).
Every time I try to let Internet Recovery finish, it gets most of the way through and then errors out:
-2002F at times (earlier attempts)
-2003F most recently, even when using my phone hotspot.
I already reset NVRAM and SMC, tried different key combos (⌘+R, ⌘+⌥+R, ⇧+⌘+⌥+R), and used different Wi-Fi/hotspot connections.
I also have a bootable USB installer, but the T2 security settings are blocking external boot, and I can’t reach Start-up Security Utility because Recovery never finishes loading.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I just need to get macOS back on this machine, but I’m locked out both ways right now.
Mac Pro (2019)
