Only thing I can think of is you may need to install the original OS, or at least 10.6 1st.


Or maybe...


n Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


APFS won't work for Sierra or earlier, Sierra or earlier needs MacOS Extended Journaled. High Sierra won't work for APFS on earlier Macs.


What has often worked for others is to use this Restore Method instead of CMD+r keys...


Option-⌘-R

Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
