when you send the efibootmgr you was in the system or usb ?
I’m not sure what you mean. But I started endeavour from usb. Then I did chroot. There you saw efibootmgr. But it’s the same output if I exit chroot. And if I reboot. Then endeavour entry is not in the boot order anymore.
if you do temporarely from usb , sudo efibootmgr -n 0000
?
does it goes in ?
With this I was able to boot in to my system once. After reboot I have the same problems.
how do you change boot order exactly ? you need to copy the complete entries from the boot order line… if you miss entries it will not work
is secureboot on?
I disabled it. Then it worked

I did.
And grub-install command also adjusts the boot order, but it’s not permanent somehow
Secureboot can do things too
You can make it trustfull but sb does not like changes
how do i make it trustfull?
I tried selecting some grub file. That created an entry, that produces the out of range error.
and do you tried to remove/move the complete entry path in your ESP?
in chroot or if booted into OS under /boot/efi/EFI
and run grub-install again to create a new one.
i deleted entries via efibootmgr -b [entry-nr] -B and the created new one with grub-install.
What stands ESP for?
Efi-System-Partition the fat32 one used to write the efi entries to be readable by the firmware 
If you run grub-install without any options given it will use the distributor entry from /etc/default/grub file in lowercase letters and overwrite or create the entry-path with this naming…
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=“EndeavourOS”
will create use this path:
/boot/efi/EFI/endeavouros
and the entry name in firmware will be the same it will be called endeavouros
I am not sure if it could happen that using the same path is always the best option could be recreating it fully can help remove some id or keys inside by recreating them…

If secureboot is off it should see in te bios? This issue can also be about the bios entrance. Each is unique also
Hello everybody,
I’m new to this forum and only some expierence with Linux. With that said, I encountered a problem, while trying to reinstall grub. The answer might be very trivial but I couldn’t figure out a solution (searching this forum and looking for answers on other forums)
I followed the instructions (for encrypted systems): https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-latest-grub-package-update-needs-some-manual-intervention/30689 but when I try to reinstall grub with grub-install, this error shows up:
[root@EndeavourOS /]# grub-install
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn’t look like an EFI partition.
My linux partition is an ext4 and I assume thats the reason for this error.
For context this is the console output:

sdb is a second HDD with some files so I deleted the output to make it more compact.
Thanks for any help/advice in advance!
This part is wrong.
It should be:
sudo mount /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
I would reboot to get a clean setup and try again.

Did you reinstall grub when you used arch-chroot and then run the grub update command? I also had this on mine amongst other things.
2 posts were split to a new topic: Pamac fails to update
Im trying to fix my laptop after the update where I have to install grub via booting from a usb using the guide.
However at the stage where I have to mount my disk I’m having trouble,
Sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
Returns that /mnt/boot/efi mount point does not exist. I’m not sure how to get around this, would making that directory and installing grub there work?
I appreciate any help, thanks
