Mojave ⌘R boot goes to internet recovery automatically, then to 1008F.
I know I'm on borrowed time, but I use too many 32-bit apps to upgrade to 10.15. I even have a LaunchAgent that kills the upgrade notification icons . Mojave is the only system upgrade I've ever performed on my 2017 T2 chip MacBook Pro. I didn't intend to go to internet Recovery, anyway. But I change my SIP settings occasionally and I don't seem to be able to boot into Recovery. So I have two problems. First, how can I restore local recovery? I have the latest Carbon Copy Cloner and a current backup. Has anyone ever restored it using that? Will an in-place install of latest Mojave fix it? I certainly don't want to take the time and trouble to wipe and install, so I won't be happy if that's the only way to fix it.
2nd, how can I restore internet recovery? My network settings specify ethernet through an Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Do I have to set it to Wi-Fi to use internet recovery? What else could cause that to fail? Although I don't remember using internet recovery on this machine, I've certainly used it before on this network, both ethernet and Wi-Fi.
Thanks.
