unable to download MacOS From the Recovery screen (when it is checking "eligibility" to download a copy of MacOS), I get the error "The installer information on the recovery server is damaged." There appears to be no option to reinstall MacOS following this error. Ran Disk Utility and there are no errors. Message persists.

Installation error message: The recovery server could not be contacted Hello, I know this question has been asked a lot but I still have this issue. I am trying to update my macOS from Sierra to Mojave. I followed every step carefully from apple and downloaded Mojave here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210190 I have a very good connection internet this is not the issue. My time and date are also good. I did a reboot holding option, I tried all this none of this works, I still have the same error message when trying multiple time to Install macOS Mojave: The recovery server could not be contacted. Anyone know how I can resolve this issue? thanks!!
