I need help asap pls. I erased literally everything on my mac and command r wont work and internet recovery mode just completes the bar and then boots back into internet recovery mode. I have no ideas as what to do
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0
Try holding Command-V (verbose mode) and hit enter on the MacOS Installer, unless you know that it's empty. Does that show anything?
Another thing you could try is making a bootable installer if you have a USB stick and another computer.
EDIT:
I believe that the firmware password is enabled, due to how Diagnostic mode sends you to Internet Recovery. However, you may have wiped the mode, so it may be downloading it. Does it restart when you let it sit?

Hi,
Is this an Intel or a Apple Silicon mac? Using Apple Diagnostics mode might help.
If it is an Intel mac, hold D on startup until a screen shows, and hit Start. (If that doesn't work, try Option-D.)
After a while, a screen will show, telling you if there's anything wrong with your hardware. There will also be reference codes, described in this article:
Apple Diagnostics reference codes - Apple Support
If that comes up with no errors, try resetting your NVRAM/PRAM by holding Command-Option-P-R during startup, and your mac will appear to restart. Keep holding these keys for about 20 seconds. Then boot into Internet Recovery.
If that doesn't work, I'd recommend taking it into an Apple store.
Boit seems it doesn’t matter what one I press, I’ve tried both
Pressing D takes me to internet recovery for some reason. And it is an intel mac
And when I get to internet recovery it starts and then just shuts off

Does Option-D work?
Nope same thing :(
So after you reset the NVRAM, if it still doesn't work, try holding Option. Does that do anything?
I tried factory resetting my mac now im in a boot loop and command r wont work
