MacOS – How to recover from a “AMD-Action:downloadProduct:SP” during installation of macOS

installmacosterminal

Just wiped my hard drive on my MacBook Pro from 2013. Went to install a new copy of MacOS Sierra. I get the following error:

AMD-Action:downloadProduct:SP

I looked online and tried change the date using the Utility Terminal and the following command:

date mmddHHMMyy

Then did 

csrutil enable
csrutil clear

Then I tried clearing the NVRAM using command + option + P + R on startup.

Still no luck. Still getting the same error message.
Apple support told me to go to a "computer repair store".

Any advice?

I had the same problem with my Macbook Pro mid 2010. I tried everything, but Sierra installation allways crashed with AMD-Action:downloadProduct:SP error. Then I created install USB with OSX Mountain Lion and it worked flawlessly. I upgraded to Sierra later via App Store.
