erased mac disk without reinstall mac os stuck in windows blue screen boot error

So I erase disc, restart the Mac without reinstalling mac os and now I got 0xc0000225 error.

i prevously had windows but probably didnt delete it

I can’t boot to Recovery Mode or use opt+cmd+R command. What can I do?

It it says I need to press F8 or Enter, but when I press it my screen just flickering for a second.

I tried reinstalling windows iso installer to fix the blue screen but it probably didnt register the usb I am now trying to format the usb in exFat and will see if that changes anything

Mac OSX error 0xc0000225 after erase disc. - Apple Community

Scorched Earth Method

This method will WIPE ALL Data and there is No DATA Recovery - Period.

>> Only works on Intel Based Apple Computer <<

To perform this action will require booting from a Bootable Installer.

The Bootable Installer can Only be performed on an Apple Computer

This will have to be performed from a Qualifying Computer to run the version of macOS to be made on the Bootable Installer. Example : Bootable Installer of Big Sur would have to be done on a computer that Qualifies to run Big Sur.

Notation: If the computer being used to perform this action is Too New or Too Old to qualify to run the version of macOS - this computer can not be used.

Alternative is, to gain access to a Qualifying Apple Computer from a family member, friend or associate.

1 - Shutdown computer and disconnect all external drive Except the newly created Bootable Installer.

2- Restart and immediately hold the OPTION key until the Startup Manager appears and choose the USB Drive.

3 - It will present options >> Disk Utilities >> View >> View ALL attached Drives.

4 - Choose the Upper Most Drive ( not the volumes indented and list below ).

5 - The drive normally is called Apple Media or Apple SSD - that is the drive to Erase and format as APFS with the GUID Partition Map.

6 - Once that is done >> backup out of Disk Utilities and choose install macOS.

7 - Follow the prompts and it may automatically reboot several time.

8 - Upon a final reboot - Setup Assist will present with the newer version of macOS.
