Can't install macOS Bigsur - Checking "(null)"...

hi, the installation stuck at Checking "(null)"... I don't have a backup of all system, only some files I needed, I did try Command R a couple of times, the Mojave was available to install, but I can't download any programs bc I used to have bigsur before, and I'm kind of in a rush I need my laptop asap. Please help

Thank you

Can't create a bootable thumb drive to install macOS Hello Community, on a Mac mini late-2014, I want to create a bootable thumb drive to install Big Sur. But the process fails. I follow instructions provide here Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support The command type in the console is sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia —volume /Volumes/InstBigSur and I get this error /Applications/Install macOS Big Sur.app does not appear to be a valid OS installer application. Note that in the error message received, all the "\" are missing. Does that mean that the "\" are removed by Terminal before execution ? I also tried creating a thumb drive to install Monterey and got the same issue. Thanks, Gilles Plante

Disconnect all external drives and restart in Safe Mode - Shift - key immediately at startup. It will do a Repair Disk, clear Cache files and only load Apple Software - so will load slowly - Normal. Once looking in - stay in Safe Mode for 5 - 7 minus and restart in Normal Mode.
