Well thank you Apple for this awesome 10.13.whatever update that got my MBP into a failed installation with no way to boot the os or revert the update without losing shit and a lot of time, arghhhh :/

Also: yay, first rant

Funny, same happened with me. It crashed everyone until I turned it off for a few hours and back on without problem. Now though because of that shirty update, displaylink doesn't work and I can't connect my dock for multiple screens...
Also welcome to devrant ☺️

@eversore I had this issue a couple of weeks ago.

You can boot into recovery and restore from time machine. There should be a single snapshot to recover from.

@SpeedyCate well that the F.. I turned of the machine, left it lile that for a couple of minutes and turned it back on. Guess what, it boots like normal again indeed O_o

@Eversor it's really weird but happy that it worked. Apple made something wrong since its breaking everything like that.

Dat is stom.

I got you covered, hold control + r for booting and select the non installer partition. From there you can install the update again

Had this same issue with mine MBA some year ago, taught me an important lesson on backups

Whalecum to devRant!

Always do a backup before OS update, something might screw up somewhere. And as devs, we are very likely to have adjusted something that we weren’t supposed to adjust

@ChainsawBaby I would've backed it up if I new it'll update. My MacBook was running slow and I thought I would restart it and then it started updating. But everything I have on it, is in the cloud too, so I wouldn't loose anything.
