Flashing folder with “?” after remote erase - can’t enter recovery mode.
2020 Apple Silicon MacBook Pro 13 M1 chip 32gb Ram running Big Sur (not sure which version). Long story short - my friend wound up having to remote erase this Mac. It now is stuck with a flashing folder with a question mark in it and it will not boot into recovery. Yes, we realize the procedure is different for booting into recovery on this Mac as opposed to an Intel Mac. Holding down the power button after shutting it down only takes it back to the flashing folder. Double tapping the power button and holding it takes it right back to the flashing folder as well. I’m sure we are doing SOMETHING wrong…neither one of us is familiar with this new breed of Mac having only owned ones with Intel processors up until now (mine still IS an Intel MacBook Pro - 2018 to be exact). We have NO IDEA what to do next and I am hoping someone here does. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
p.s. - She bought it used from a friend - warranty ran out in July.
