I was using Catalina, and downgraded to Mojave, using a Mojave Time Machine backup. It failed being that Recovery Mode now boots into Internet Recovery Mode.
Running Diagnostics Test, no issues are found with the hardware. What’s going on?!
Mac mini 2018 or later
I sent the Mac yesterday. Got an eMail no more than an hour ago, saying it’s being “diagnosed”.
So, with AppleCare+, something will hopefully be fixed. We’ll see. I hope this gets solved, and, if it does, I plan to post what I am informed of: what it is that caused this issue.

Thank you for the reply Matti.
A Recovery Volume did not work. Now, booting into Recovery Mode, I get a spinning globe, with the error shown below..
I did a chat on my phone last night; spoke with Apple today; showed this error and other issues to Apple.
Their Engineers are looking into it. I’ll post an update on where this all ends up..
The Error in Recovery Mode:
Maybe deleting and re-creating the Mojave Recovery volume might help? Carbon Copy Cloner should be able to do this (or deleting the Recovery volume and doing a Mojave re-install) but do a backup first.
I have the same problem here, it's not possible to download recovery. (Yes I have a fast internet...)
So i tryed to boot from a stick - no way! it's not possible, always it goes to recovery wich not work...
So i tryed to boot via Firewire Target mode. Its also not longer possible to install osx via target mode, Thank you Apple!
Now I have to go to a IT-Specialist.
So good luck for us...!
Got the Mac back and all has been fixed!
