Internet Recovery Error 1007f!!??!

If you haven't already, zap the PRAM. Restart your Mac while holding down the P + R + CMD + Option keys, and after you hear the machine boot-up chimes 3 separate times, let go of the keys. Then restart and try the Internet Recovery Mode again and you should get past the error and be fine. It worked like a charm for me.

I take it that Recovery Mode never came up cause Internet access was not working quite right. Here's a workaround.

First, BACK THE MAC PARTITION UP. Best bet is a bootable clone onto an external drive. So, no matter what happens you will have something to fall back on.

Now, download Recovery Disk Assistant, get a 4GB USB flash stick and construct a bootable Recovery HD. See here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848) and here (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433).

Leave your new creation on the USB port, restart the Mac and hold down the Option key prior to the chime. A list of bootable volumes will appear, click on the USB Recovery HD you just made and the green arrow to boot from it. Go past the languages screen and choose Disk Utility (bottom option).Click on the Device and the Partition tab. Now you'll be able to modify the partitions on the Mac's storage device since you did not boot from it.

There should be an empty space at the bottom, corresponding to the BootCamp partition that was deleted. The OS X partition above will have a little hash mark on its bottom-right corner. Click and drag it down to cover the empty space. Then click on Apply to resize that partition and reclaim your lost 100GB.

May want to go to First Aid and do a Repair Disk on both device and volume, for good measure. Do a Repair Disk Permissions on the volume too, while you're at it.

Quit, quit and restart normally. Done. Keep the USB Recovery HD thumbdrive for the next rainy day.

While it's true that the internet connection was probably the problem, try using an ethernet connection instead of wifi before going to all the trouble of doing the workaround that Courcoul suggested.

Thanks a lot for your hint pointroll! 🙂 I have a MB Air mid 2012 and it was caught in an endless failure-restart loop when trying to install Yosemite. After hitting P+R+CMD+Option it smootly continued the installation and everything is fine. No dataloss, no recovery, or any other ugly stuff.

Just wondering: What did it do? I'd like to understand ...

It seems the internet recovery cannot write on your existing drive. Provide file system that is compatible with Mac then run the Internet Recover. I encountered the same when accidentally deleted the recovery drive. However, upon reformatting the drive with exFAT (not NTFS)... the internet recovery succeed completely.

Awesome it works for me too.....

Thank you very much. Worked with my Air 2011.

I had this same message and I realized what the problem was. Your computer is trying to get online via WIFI. If it's not connecting to the internet, you'll get this error. What was happening to me with this error. It was trying to connect to some wifi I don't use. From the desktop I delete all wifi settings I DIDN'T use, then rebooted into this recovery/erase screen, it then asked me what wifi I wanted to use, I entered the wifi key and way-lah! I was in. It started to download the information needed.
