When you reinstall grub gets installed again on the install. See what happens when you install it. Don’t do anything without showing us what happened. We need to see info or we are just blind to what is happening.
I’m not sure i know what this means?
(replace the rolling endeavor OS partition with the endeavor OS partition)
I’m going to commit arson
I tried installing again and it threw the same error!

The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=endeavouros --force</pre> returned error code 1.
I went to install again and selected the biggest partition to be replaced
Can you boot on the live ISO and show some info. Post the link for this command.
inxi -Faz | eos-sendlog
post the output for
sudo fdisk -l
Edit: Also did you ever use gparted and use device create partition table gpt before running the installer so as to completely wipe the disk?

I never use gparted or anything like that.
Is this from the live ISO? I see 5.19 kernel? Are you using the latest ISO?
Yes and yes
If it was me i would boot on the live ISO and don’t start the installer yet. Then from the menu run gparted.
Then create a new partition table gpt which will erase all this.
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 4096 618495 614400 300M EFI System
/dev/sda2 618496 451682961 451064466 215.1G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 451682962 468857024 17174063 8.2G Linux swap
Then close gparted and run the installer to install.
Edit: You aren’t having any issues with the mirrors are you not installing packages. When you run the installer check that ipw2100 and ipw2200 (firmware) are unchecked under network. These have been removed so the installer won’t install if they are selected. I’m just not sure if they are on this ISO.
Also you do have secure boot disabled in the UEFI Bios and CSM turned off?
Secure boot, fast boot, and CSM are off.
How do I create a partition table that will work?
I would just use gparted first and create a new gpt partition which will wipe the drive. Then start the installer and see if it gives you options. I would personally use erase disc with swap file and ext4. See if that’s available to you in the installer after using gparted to create a new gpt partition and then running the installer after closing gparted when it’s finished.

I hope this will work for you. I know how frustrating this can be and it does happen on some hardware. I’m just trying to give you some things to try that have worked before for other users. It may or may not here though. I can’t say for sure.

Is this before or after running the commands to install grub?
Thank you for all your help anyway
You don’t need to install grub it should do that on the install itself.
Wiping the partition table and running the installer returns the same error, grub bootloader doesn’t install. I don’t know what the issue is any more
There isn’t a checkbox for ipw2100 or ipw2200 in the installer.
After adding the --boot-directory=/mnt/boot flag, I just get a GNU GRUB command line. What do I do now…? I ran the installer, it failed when it got to the grub stage, so I installed grub and rebooted but I can’t boot into the system?
