Wifi

Ive recently purchased a macbook pro 2016, It had sierra installed but the wifi was not working correctly so I fully reset the computer. Now i can’t reinstall mac osx through internet recovery because i can’t connect to the internet. Is there any way i can reinstall without internet?

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)

Only other was is to have someone that can run 10.12 make bootable USB Drive with the Sierra installer on it...

Sierra won’t install to SSD, thanks to Eau Rouge…

Open Terminal (Applications/ Utilities) now copy and paste this command into the Terminal window,


sudo plutil -replace CFBundleShortVersionString -string "12.6.03" /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Info.plist


press return

enter your password

press return


Now paste in the createinstallmedia command for Sierra where MyVolume can be replaced with the name of your USB stick


If your USB name has more than one word separated by spaces you would need to type it in as


/The\ USB\ Name


sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app


press return 

follow the prompts
