That -2100D error isn’t particularly documented, but usually means Internet Recovery is having issues connecting to Apple, which can be a sick Mac, or potentially some local networking issue or DNS-related error or local Wi-Fi router error.


If you have the dongles or if this MacBook Pro is old enough for an actual RJ45 jack, try using a wired connection.


Or use another local Mac that can run OS X 10.11 or macOS 10.13 or whatever the latest macOS compatible with this Mac, and build and use a bootable installer.
