[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1779598, member: 83420"] Restoring from the Internet, via Command + Option + R, will - if it can - install the Operating System that was on the Mac when it first shipped. Which is possibly why it was trying to download/install Yosemite? Using Command + R takes you to Recovery where there is the option to download the OS currently on your Mac. I know this must be an agonising time for you; but your many attempts to enter "Recovery" and "Internet Recovery" lead me to suspect that the Hard Drive is broken to a point where an installation of an OS is unlikely to be successful. Terribly sorry. Of course, try the Internet Recovery option again by all means (Cmd + Opt + R), but remember (a) even if successful, will take a long, long time (b) this installs the system that came with your Mac when it was new (c) it may not happen, i.e. fail.
