This is unfortunately fairly typical of disk repartitioning.

 

You're likely going to end up wiping this disk.

 

Got backups, made prior to the repartitioning?   If so, go to another Mac, download Mavericks (from the App Store, should be listed your existing purchases) or El Capitan, and create a bootable kit on another Mac, and transfer that back to this Mac and boot that here, and then use that to try to repair the existing disk or — very likely — wipe the disk from Disk Utility, and repartition and reinstall.

 

If there are no backups of this disk, you might be able to recover some data from this disk, using Disk Utility booted from the bootable media (or one of the tools discussed in the first link below), copying whatever disk data that can find out to some other external disk.   Then wipe and reinstall.

 

The -2002F error is AFAIK not documented, but seems to indicate a problem accessing Apple servers.   Try switching from a Wi-Fi to a wired connection, as one possible alternative.   That doesn't always work.

    Did you delete the entire partition?

     

    Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair Disk and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

    Hi Eric,

    I remember, not all partition i deleted. i followed your advice like  after rebooting then i hold down CMD + R then after that it was internet recovery appeared then after 10 minutes error came out  " apple.com/support  -2002F " . So, thats my problem at the moment on how to fix it. I tried another solution like after rebooting i Hold Down the Alt/option then windows disk appeared and no other option and suppose to be apple disk would appear as well.

     

    Thanks
