    A few things I wanted to mention/clear up: This had Big Sur firmware in the recovery originally at drop off. Also, after the activation lock removal, you need a recovery with macOS Catalina. It can be a bootable usb installer, bootable os with macOS Catalina (which comes with a Catalina recovery partition) or if are lucky and the macbook didn't update it's firmware then use the built in Catalina or earlier recovery mode. 😁

    What worked for me:
    1. Reboot macbook, holding down alt key;
    2. sign on to wifi;
    3. do alt-cmd-r combination (instead of pressing Enter).

    great! You are so great! After been saw this video and another… here is my tip to share everyone… 1st disabled the find my Mac, then after show the error 1008F, turn off the mbp, hold down only CMD + CTRL + R and wait (don’t press Touch ID button) and load the recovery, important to delete the volume (partition) from SSD, then create Macintosh HD and then recovery… regards from Axarquia

    Thanks for this post it helped alot.. i did not have a bootable OSX (Cataina) available but i would like to share what i did to have BigSur reinstalled.
    I followed all steps and removed device from find my app but somehow still found the macbook still visible in icloud website so i had to remove it from there aswell.
    I was still getting the error so I did the following steps:
    Step 1 - Turned Macbook Off
    Step 2 - Turned on and pressed and held Option.
    Step 3 - Connected to internet as prompted
    Step 4 - Pressed Option+Command+R
    Internet recovery started again took me back to Disk utilities where I was able to install BigSur..
    Hope this additional info helps..

    Actually what finally helped me was:
    -Going to the recovery menu (just option key)
    -Connecting to Wi-Fi there
    -Command+Option+R still in that menu
    -Installing Ventura (newest software)
    -And then computer finally allowed me to use bootable drive with Catalina from recovery
    Probably the biggest mistake I've made was clearing the disk before going into desired OS menu (don't do that)

    just solve it by pressing shift-command-option-r then the download internet recovery time was much high like 9 min vs 4-5 min when I got the error. Then it loaded the recovery normal and reinstalled the sonoma OS just to get it back working.

If I understand correctly, if I use the external boot with Catalina, it will works ?

    It didn't completely work for me... But one thing that I tried was restoring by putting in DFU mode and connecting my A1932 (with issues) to another Mac with Apple Configurator 2 and pressing Restore. After that, I went to the recovery with command + r and it worked. Previously, I remove my account just in case it was creating some conflict. I hoppe this can help someone if the video didn't work!
