Macbook air 2020

I erased the internal disk, to make a clean install.

but I’m unable to boot from USB ( selecting Big Sur Install , starts internet recovery anyway )

internet recovery fails everytime with error -2002F or similar.

is there any catch to make boot from USB work ? ( Already resetted NVRAM ).

Resetting Macbook Air failed - now nothing works Hi I've tried resetting my Macbook Air, but now nothing works. I started the macbook using command + r - then went into disk utility to make a clean install. Next I tried using the reinstall OS X option, but it fails with "currently not available" error. Then I tried internet restore by holding down option + command + r - this went all the way through the progress bar, but then just showed a grey screen with a stop sign on it. Since the macbook was origianlly installed with Mavericks I cannot use the shirt + option + command + r I the tried creating a bootable usb drive using a Mac Mini I have. Using the application "Create install disk", but my Macbook won't recognize the usb as a start disk, so don't know how to start the installation from there? I also tried to reset NVRAM, but I do not get the behaviour described (second startup sound) so don't think it works. I can run the command + r and get to these tools, can I from here using the Terminal or something trigger the installation from my usb? Hope some can help med - already thrown many hours at this problem :-(

Restore or repair MacBook Air My MacBook Air is not working. Tried all the steps which I found online on such issues. I’m stuck and cannot restore nor repair. No disk for installation. Disk Utility too doesn’t work. Would anyone have any solution?
