I wanted to reset my iMac cira 2013 running Sierra. I did a fresh start holding the Command/R key.

When the macOS Utilites menu came up, I went to the Disk Utility option. I then selected the erase my hard drive which then took me back the macOS Utilities menu. I don't have a Time Machine backup. I selected "Reinstall macOS" which brings up the next screen "macOS Sierra" with instructions "To set up the installation of macOS Sierra, click continue.

That brings up a popup "To downloud and restore macOS, your computer's eligibility will have to be verfied with Apple." If I choose continue, the computer doesn't do anything.

Did I brick my iMac and if so, is there any way to fix this?
