Macbook Pro Won’t Boot Properly

[chrisb885]

Recently my friends macbook updated to Catalina and he had issues with wifi and the screen flashing. He decided to factory reset it and now it won’t boot at all, and booting into recovery mode brings this screen up. Is there anything I can do for this?

Looks like it is not connected to the internet to perform an internet recovery.

is there anything we can do aside from spending $500 for apple to fix it?

Use another Mac to create a usb installer for offline installation.

connect it to the router using a network cable. Or through a USB to network adapter.
