MacBook wont boot, install from usb or startup recovery or safe mode.
My 2013 macbook air running (i believe) OS X Mojave wont boot. It stays on the black loading screen with the progress bar loading very slowly and when it is full after a while shuts off the mac.
I’ve tried resetting the SMC, the NVRAM, PRAM, booting into safe mode and recovery (both internet and local recovery) . Safe mode or recovery both were not able to boot.
I’ve created a bootable USB to reinstall the OS, however when booting from the USB the progress bar is very slow and eventually doesn’t boot from the USB. I’ve tested the USB on a different macbook air that had no issue booting into the USB installer.
Any ideas on how to revive the macbook air that seemingly doesn’t have hardware issues?

@savagegunner00 - Have you tried just running the onboard diagnostics? Restart the system and press the D key to enter into it. Tell us if you get any errors.

I ran the diagnostics, and there were no errors. The only thing it displayed was that the power adapter was not tested (as it was not plugged in). I restarted from the results screen and the boot goes back to the progress bar that never results in a boot.

Hi, did you check if the laptop is compatible with Mojave?

I had the system running flawlessly. I also made a high sierra installer which also did not function.

If you have the same model its compatible with Mojave without any special efforts. To check your system plug in your systems S/N here EveryMac - Lookup jump down to the bottom of the systems info to locate the macOS listing. Even if it's not listed as supported you still might be able to use DosDude1 to get it to work.
I would be careful as the newer APFS file systems does not run well on SATA based drives.
