Dead Macbook Pro 13 2018 w/ Touch Bar

I have a Macbook Pro 2018 13 with Touchbar. I had bootcamp + mojave installed, but accidentaly removed the macos, mac recovery and bootcamp recovery partitions ... Im left with a non working bootcamp and stuck.

what i’ve tried:


  • resetting nvram reinstalling windows by bootable usb*
  • reinstalling macOS by bootable usb*
  • cmd+r for recovery*
  • cmd+option+r for recovery*
  • cmd+shift+option for recovery*
  • use of internet recovery*
  • tried booting gparted by bootable usb*
  • cloning an existing mojave drive (another mac that works) to an external drive and tried booting*


*all of these where tried holding the option key during startup, but no matter what I boot to, I always get to internet recovery. Once in internet recovery (after trying with multiple wifi networks and the router being at 10cm of distance), The globe just starts spinning, with no progress bar. I left it for more than 14 hours and nothing. I have 50mbps internet. 


How can a “new” mac become unrepairable?


sigh
