Command and R not bringing me into Recovery mode.

Hello, LetLoveEmerge.

To help you best, can you please tell us what model and year your Mac is?

What macOS version do you believe is installed on the Mac?

It may be that your Recovery partition has been damaged or deleted, or that the startup drive does not have a recovery partition on it.

You might try using option-command-R or shift-option-command-R to boot into internet recovery mode.

See if Safe Mode even works...

Start up a Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Shut Down.
2. After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds.
3. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until the startup options window appears showing available startup disks and Options.
4. Select a startup disk.
5. Press and hold the Shift key, click Continue in Safe Mode, then release the Shift key.

To leave safe mode, restart your Mac normally, without pressing and holding any keys during startup.

Well done, my friend.

Good to know you resolved the issue. 👍🏽

You should mark your previous post as having "Solved" this so other will know.

I'm running an M1 Mac mini 16GB and can't get into Recovery Mode with Cmd-R, Cmd-Option-R or Shift-Cmd-Opt-R. Do M1 Macs even have a Recovery partition?
