Internet Recovery Mode Error 2002F

I was using Internet Recovery mode when I got stuck on 2002F Error Code. I’ve heard it meant my WiFi is bad. But I don’t know what to do.

Earlier Mac models

Hi mahmuda161,


You are correct in that error means macOS tried to start up from Internet Recovery but could not. For this issue, we'd recommend looking over the tips here as they specifically relate to concerns with macOS Recovery in general:


If you see a globe with a warning symbol (exclamation point), the attempt to start up from macOS Recovery over the internet was unsuccessful:
Spinning globe with exclamation point

In that case, one of these solutions might help:
* Make sure that your Mac can connect to the internet. If you're not asked to choose a Wi-Fi network during startup, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu , if available.
* Press Command-R at startup to try using the built-in Recovery system instead of internet Recovery.
* Connect to the internet using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, or vice versa.
* Connect to the internet from a different Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Your network configuration might not allow the internet access that macOS Recovery needs.
* Try again later, because the issue might be temporary.
* Start up from another disk or volume, if available, or use a bootable installer to reinstall macOS.



If you still cannot connect after trying those options, we'd advise reaching out to Apple Support to take a closer look.


Cheers!
