Macbook Wont Boot to MacOS

[djflaco]

Can you make a bootable installer on another Mac? Your mac should boot from this and give you all the Recovery options including reinstalling macOS or wiping the whole machine.

If you have access to another mac another (nuclear) option would be putting in DFU mode and restoring.

The easiest way of making a bootable installer is the free Mist app, otherwise Terminal.

I have tried to make a bootable USB with a Tahoe.iso I got from Google, but itdidn'tt work. When I bootit my macbook and hold down option I was able to see my bootable usb and I can see Tahoe OS but when I selected it , it didnt do nothing just restarted doing the same time and didnt want to boot into USB.

I don't have another MacBook to create a bootable installer or use Terminal. I only have the Boot Camp Windows that I can use on my MacBook.

OP:

That's a MacBook Pro from 2019, right?

Since you can't seem to get into internet recovery, my advice is:
Use a bootable USB flash drive with a copy of an OS installer on it to:
a. boot the MBP
b. COMPLETELY erase the internal drive
c. install a brand-new copy of the OS onto it, and then...
d. go on from there.

I've read that it's quite difficult -- almost impossible -- to create a bootable Mac flashdrive from a Windows OS. Supposedly, it CAN be done. But again, very difficult.

Having said that, you NEED the USB flashdrive.
If you can't get access to another Mac to create one, you can probably BUY one on ebay for about $25. It should be ready to boot and use.

Everymac.com says the latest version of the OS a 2019 Intel MBP can run is Tahoe.
So you want a flashdrive with either Tahoe, or perhaps Sequoia.

There's no one you know who has a relatively recent Mac with which you could create the flashdrive?
Flashdrive should be 64gb or larger.
Should be formatted in advance to HFS+ (Mac OS extended, journaling enabled, GUID partition format, DO NOT use "case sensitive").
Use the FREE app named "Mist" to download the OS and create the flashdrive (all in one operation).

I'm going to take a guess that flashdrive is what you need.

BE AWARE that it looks like it has a USB-A connector, so you will need a USBa-to-USBc adapter if you don't have one already. Unless the seller also can offer a flashdrive with a USBc connector.

Here's what I'd suggest for an adapter:

Cable Matters 5Gbps USB C to USB 3.0 Adapter, 6 Inches, Black | USB 3.0 Data Transfer, OTG Compatible, Compact USB C to USB A Adapter

The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-A adapter provides a convenient connection between the newest devices with USB Type-C and legacy USB peripherals with Type A. It adapts the Type-C port on a computer to connect all legacy equipment, peripherals, cables, hubs and chargers that ...

Yes, I have a usb c to USB 3.0 adapter. I'll get the USB ordered today and receive the bootable USB tomorrow, so we'll see how it works out.
