My MacBook Pro is stuck on a black screen loop. It turns on by itself then chimes goes into black screen then powers off and repeats. Worked like usual until I reset my pram and smc to fix a networking and overheating issue. Then problem started immediately upon reboot. The looping also prevents entry to recovery mode. Can anyone please help?

“Yeah I tried all of these tips at the start but none of them work. I’m able to power it off. However, upon restarting it the looping behavior immediately restarts. I can’t make it macOS Recovery. Interesting enough, I can start the procedure -Starting Internet Recovery but at the end of the timer the MacBook automatically restarts and upon the restart the looping behavior restarts starts.“

Use Ethernet:
While in Internet Recovery Mode, try connecting using Ethernet. Try bottling in the IRC once more. If you need adapter, then this is the one to get for your Mac: Belkin USB-C to 2.5Gb Ethernet Adapter - Apple
If you can ever successfully get into Recovery Mode….
Re-Mount the Drive:
Boot into Recovery Mode (Intel or Silicon) . You need to click the “Mount’ button to proceed. So, select the drives, and then click "Mount" Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more. It looks dulled-out. So, if you cannot click it, then click the First Aid button to fix this volume.

Troubleshooting a Mac in a Boot Loop:
Yeah I tried all of these tips at the start but none of them work. I’m able to power it off. However, upon restarting it the looping behavior immediately restarts. I can’t make it macOS Recovery. Interesting enough, I can start the procedure -Starting Internet Recovery but at the end of the timer the MacBook automatically restarts and upon the restart the looping behavior restarts starts.
I can make it to the internet recovery mode and even make it through the recovery cycle (timed recovery period). However, at the end of the timed recovery period the MacBook reboots and the black screen looping behavior restarts. I’ve completed this recovery cycle several times with the same result.
