Hello there,
I installed macOS Big Sur but in the end I wanted to go back to Catalina in order to have a more stable OS.
I erased everything and it installed macOS Mojave. I didn't have any TimeMachine backup.
Now, I'd like to upgrade to macOS Catalina.
However, it doesn't work and I have this error below:
What can I do?
MacBook Air
Hey!
I tried both solutions but it doesn't seem to work.
I downloaded macOS Big Sur and I still have the same issue:
What could I do?
Genius Bars are closed right now, I guess, because of the Covid-19 situation.

Yes!
I managed to reinstall macOS once again by using Cmd+Option+R.
It suggested to install Catalina and not Mojave, which is weird because the first time it was only Mojave available.
Now, everything is fine and I am able to update to Big Sur.
Thank you all for your help.
Hey michaelsfdn,
It looks like you're having an issue reinstalling macOS. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.
First, we'd recommend reviewing the steps here and trying the installation again to see if that helps: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery
If that doesn't help, we'd suggest checking for any issues in Disk Utility. This article explains how: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility
Thanks!
Thank you for your answer. I'll try that and come back to you :)
Try restarting the Router and computer. There might be some network issue that gets resolved with both units being restarted.
Thank you for suggesting this idea.
I just tried at my office as well. It doesn't work either. I don't think this is related to network.
Have there been any progress?
You are welcome> Good, it was sorted out and resolved.
