Command-Option-R Not Working Right

You have two models that cannot do Internet Recovery. See Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. There 2010 and Early 2011 models are the two I refer to.

So I saw your video after doing multiple research for an alternative to command + R.

This is what I did.

1. download the Mac Os Mojave from the Appstore or from any other source. Then make sure the installation app is on the "Application folder." (you can also copy it from an usb)
2. Double click the app or press control + click then hit show packages contents > contents > resources > "Startosinstall."
3. When you get to this part, open (terminal) and drag the file "Startosinstall" to terminal
4. After adding it, hit spacebar( Not enter!) and type: --usage then hit enter.
5. It will show you a description of arguments and options like (--license, - install packages -eraseinstall, and more)

All you need to do is to type the following command.

"/Applications/Install macOS

Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall" --eraseinstall --newvolumename "Macintosh HD" –agreetolicense

Thats it!!

The program should do the rest by itself.

Make sure your mac is up to 50%

Also to be able to do this operation you must be a root user!!

To be a root user just open terminal then type:

dsenableroot

It will ask you to create a password, then logout of your current account, you will see a new account called "others" just type root as the username and the password you created.

The answer presented several times and cannot be refuted, is quite simply:

those build model years share a design in hardware which cannot use feature

known as "internet recovery"...

There evidence sourced and in articles posted, show Firmware versions whose

very existence limits are hardware ~ to their own special place in the universe.

This, only a factual matter of physical science & hardware; not metaphysics sourcery, or voodoo.😊

How many times do you need to be told that the 2 older machines are not capable of using Internet Recovery?

What is the purpose of posting your screenshots?

I appreciate that but it wasn't needed to provide an answer to your query. 😀 I have specs for all the models you have similar to what you can find using everymac.com.

Did you read the article I linked for you?

As indicated and stated, plus evidenced by content in support pages within links;

of the products you have ~ Neither can use or be upgraded to facilitate the feature

"internet recovery". Also, this page will show much more and detail each model's

EFI and SMC Firmware, these would be useful only to those seeking to verify each.

There may be another route into macOS Recovery to resolve other issues with using the

last version supported macOS; to include using the online macOS Utilities, etc or reinstall.

Rather plainly, Kappy did answer first question ~ ahead of 'extra details' not required to do so.😳🙃
