Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help. I have an iMac Pro 2017 which was pretty much maxed out for the time, and was working fine until two days ago. Suddenly was boot looping.
When trying internet recovery, I get -1008F as an error code which I don't recognise at all. That is with everything except mouse and keyboard plugged in. Same error on Wifi and Ethernet.
Oddly though, my Bootcamp which runs Windows 10, works absolutely fine.
I have removed the partition with macOS on it, but being unable to get into recovery of any description (Whenever I use the USB install of Monterey, it tries to use the internet recovery for some reason), I can't recreate it. Bootcamp is still working absolutely fine at this moment in time.
In fact, whenever I try anything other than bootcamp, it tries to load internet recovery. It was doing this before I removed the partition. Which I only removed because I ran out of ideas and couldn't think of what else to do, I assume I corrupted MacOS at some point, which is a shame.
SMC has been reset using unplug, hold power button for 15 seconds, plug in, wait 5 seconds then power on.
PRAM may not have been reset, although I have tried, but CMD + OPT + P + R on boot doesn't seem to do anything other than chime once.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might be able to do?
