Unable to boot into recovery mode after performing backup restore

Hello every one,

Encountered this problem this morning on my 2019 MacBook Pro 15” with error message “apple.com/suport -1008F”, what happened is:

The Catalina OS was installed on my MacBook Pro, and I want to go back to Majove, so I boot it up into recovery mode and perform “using backup file”, which was on my external hard drive, everything looks normal until it finished and reboot. Got that error message, after looking answers, it looks like the hard drive needs to be formatted first before performing that restore process, so I try to boot into that recovery mode again, but failed, every time I press command + R, it will return me that 1008F error.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks,

If you formatted your external hard drive after you stored your back up recovery onto it, it was erased when you formatted it.
