Thank you for your time.
I already followed every step you mentioned. Bootable USB was made correctly.
So you used the instructions in the Apple article I linked? If so, have you tried using another USB stick?
Wifi is stable.
Stable WiFi is not all there is to it, but it helps to try using a wired Ethernet connection since WiFi connections can introduce a lot of other issues.
A slow Internet connection can cause the boot process to time out. Your router configuration or even your ISP may have a configuration that is interfering with the necessary protocols needed to access Apple's Internet recovery servers. Internet Recovery Mode is very particular on having the local network & the Internet connection just right. It doesn't take much to have Internet Recovery Mode fail to boot.
Try booting the Apple Diagnostics since it uses the same Internet recovery framework as the online macOS installer, but tends to load a lot less data. See if you get any boot/connection errors.
so, when I turn on the mac and hold options, you can type in your network password or select my bootable usb for installing. But when I click on the usb volume, it immediately puts me again to internet recovery which doesn’t work.
it always loads for 5 minutes. When it’s done it shows me 1005F.
If you are booting over the network and getting the -1005F error when attempting to boot from the USB installer, then it tells me the USB installer has a problem. You should not need any network connection when using the macOS USB installer if it was successfully created using the instructions in the Apple article and are using a good USB stick/drive. Try using another USB stick (best to try another brand if possible). Make sure to follow the instructions in the Apple article since any other method of creating a bootable macOS USB installer is most likely doomed to fail these days.
You can also try resetting the PRAM again (hold it for at least two chimes besides the startup chime if possible) since sometimes a Mac can retain the settings from the last attempted boot method.
