2013 Mac Pro Trash Can

I have a 2013 Mac Pro 3.5 Ghz and I was booting from a external drive. Something went wrong and I erased the SSD drive. I was running OS Monterey, but I can't re-install Monterey. I keep getting a firmware update is needed. I don't have the original OEM hard drive that came with it.

What can I do to get the Monterey installed again?

(Monterey) How do I wipe out a whole physical drive completely? Hello, In my case it's the remaining 120GB SSD of a late 2015 iMac's Fusion Drive (where the HDD failed). When it happened I was using Monterey on that Mac, then it only let me install El Capitan (which came with that Mac). In the end I want to install Monterey again on the SSD. At the moment when I try to install Monterey direct from an USB installer it gets stuck in a loop (progress bar always restarting at about 24%). Internet recovery (alt+cmd+R) takes me to the Monterey recovery screen. "Reinstall macOS Monterey" didn't work, I guess because the SSD was not completely empty. Maybe I could use Terminal? This is how Disk Utility shows the SSD: Thank you. [Edited by Moderator]

Accidentally deleted MacHD, Failed macOS Monterey reinstall on MacBook Pro Hi, I need guidance! I was trying to clear my Macbook Pro A1506 (2015, was running MacOS Monterey), with a 256GB SSD, for resale. In Disk Utility, I accidentally deleted the Macbook HD (yeah, there's a story behind that, oops, deed is done). So I tried making a new partition "Macbook HD" with APFS, and then reinstalling OS X. This seemed to be progressing as normal, and then failed and sent me into internet recovery and wants install an older version of Mac OS (now I forget which one). Also, it doesn't give me the option for APFS. I'm attaching pictures of what I see in that version of "OS X Utilities" (as well as a couple earlier screenshots before this disaster, showing the details of the computer while still running Monterey). What is the best route to getting back to a working HD with Monterey on it? If you ask, Do I have a Time Machine backup? Yes, well, it's been inherited by a new MacBook and that has upgraded to newest OS (Tahoe), so I don't think that will help. Your wisdom and guidance will be much appreciated!! Previous to deletion:
