Sometimes that's because of a problem in the local network, but maybe sometimes it's beyond your control. I suggest you try connnecting to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.

May 22, 2016 8:12 PM in response to Ogyahpby Grant Bennet-Alder,If your Boot Drive is not responding, then Recovery mode (which boots from a small, separate partition on the Boot Drive) may not be available either. That can cause your Mac to attempt to use Internet Recovery, and will usually display a spinning globe.
--------
Internet Recovery tries to get the Utilities need for recovery (and re-download) from the Internet, and present them to you. Internet Recovery (if your MacBook Pro from after about 2011 has that in its Firmware) has a set of strict requirements, especially concerning the setup of your Wi-Fi Network.
-2002F is said to be a Network error while trying to connect to an Apple server.
This article lists most of the attributes of your Wi-Fi network to make the connection. In addition to these, the Network-name can not be hidden.

May 23, 2016 12:46 AM in response to Ogyahpby lllaass,What makes you think that wifi is only allowed? I have used Ethernet on my 2009 Mac Mini since wifi is slow.
You should connect Ethernet before booting to Recovery

Sep 8, 2016 12:23 AM in response to DonaldSmouseby BrendanMcelroy,Too all the people out there getting this "2002F" error, i have a solution for people in Australia.
I recently replaced my mbp 2012 hdd with a new ssd and was getting this error for over a week.
i changed the DNS setting on my router from 0.0.0.0 to googles public DNS 8.8.8.8
woohoo ! internet recovery worked instantly for me

DesktopsApple has moved the specific requirements for a Wi-Fi network to be used with Recovery out of the document I cited, and into this document (which is linked to the original):

The information is in the last section, labeled "Learn More".
