Macbook Air M1 2020 Big Sur reinstallation failure.

Big Sur 11.0.1 became unbootable.

I have followed instructions including erasing the disk as nothing was working to get it back up.

I have followed this for Big Sur reinstallation: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211983.

Terminal based installation is still failing with the same message.

What is the next step here?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0

Thanks - I'm located in Poland and bought it from premium reseller, as I don't believe we have apple store here (only online possible to purchase directly), so those returns doesn't apply I'm afraid.

I ended up recovering this with my friend's Mac via Apple Configurator 2 - this resolved the booting issue.

I still have initial Screensaver issue though which was the reason I tried the reinstallation :( - described here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252087996?login=true&page=2

Many thanks for your reply - unfortunately I do not have Mac with expected spec handy.

My other Mac is MBP 2011 with MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6.

I cannot update any higher then this and cannot install Apple Configurator 2 there either.

Is there anything I would be able to do without this?

If not, I'm assuming that based on Warranty I can bring it back to Apple Store and they would restore it for me?
