[QUOTE="h0ru5, post: 1847962, member: 404359"] well, i managed to get it back up, i downloaded mac os lion 10.7.5 and i used transmac software to make a bootable USB drive with lion 10.7.5.dmg inside from my Windows 10 machine. Steps (on windows 10): 1- get MacOS Lion (in my case) 10.7.5 (not older, because if its older you wont be abble to update it to Sierra) 2- get transmac trial software (15 day trial) 3- open transmac as administrator 4- plug in USB drive (8GB or more) 5- on transmac locate the USB drive, click right mouse button and click "format disk for mac" 6-click "yes" 7-when it finishes formatting, click right mouse button again on the USB drive and click "restore with disk image" 8- search and select the Macos Lion.dmg file 9- click "yes" and wait until it finishes (it may take a while) when i booted from the mac with the USB drive (push the power button on the mac and righ after push "cmd") it gave me another error and refused to install... after a lot of searching i found that reseting NVRAM may help, so it did (turn on the mac holding option (alt)+cmd+P+R), and after a long install process i was on MacOS Lion, and from there i updated to Sierra, and after that High Sierra. Thanks to all for trying to help me and i hope my experience can help someone in the future. Sorry for my english [/QUOTE]
