I recently bought a MacBook Pro from eBay, but I think I've hit a major snag. Initially, it was bootlooping, and I've tried a bunch of online guides, like resetting the NVRAM, but now I'm stuck in internet recovery. I keep seeing the error -2003f pop up. Plus, I can't boot from a USB stick because of this T2 security chip. Whenever I try to change the boot options, it claims no admin profile is found. Is there any way to resolve this? Any help would be appreciated!

The error -2003f usually means your internet connection to Apple’s servers is acting up. Make sure your Wi-Fi is stable; sometimes even a strong signal can be deceiving!
Hey, you might want to check eBay’s buyer protection. If the Mac isn’t working, they could refund you if it’s within the warranty timeframe.
Unfortunately, I bought it from Kleinanzeigen, a German platform, so there's no buyer protection there.
That's good to know! I’m right next to a strong access point, so I hope that’s not the issue. Maybe I need to try connecting directly with an Ethernet cable?
