Hi there, hb0295.

It looks as if your Mac is showing an error 3001F when you start it up after resetting it. I'm happy to help.

About macOS Recovery -- If you're trying to use macOS Recovery to reinstall the operating system, you'll need to start up from macOS Recovery from the Internet instead. You may need to connect your Mac to the internet using an ethernet cable.

If you can't start up from macOS Recovery

Newer Mac computers and some older Mac computers automatically try to start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet when unable to start up from the built-in recovery system. When that happens, you see a spinning globe instead of an Apple logo during startup. To manually start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet, hold down Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R at startup.

If you still can't start up from macOS Recovery, and you have a Mac that is able to start up completely, you might be able to create an external Mac startup disk to start up from instead.

macOS Recovery over the Internet, the Reinstall macOS utility, and the Get Help Online utility all require an Internet connection. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, move your pointer to the top of the screen, then choose a network from the Wi-Fi status menu User uploaded file.

Let me know how that goes and take care!
