I having an issue no one has been able to fix.

Can anyone help me.

I having an issue no one has been able to fix. I have a 15” MacBook Pro retina (A1398) with the speakers on top next to the keys. it’s a 2nd hand laptop.

I changed the SSD on the inside and I need to install the macOS onto it. I have installed the OS onto it from another laptop using external USB.

I know the SSD works because it boots up just fine when I boot from USB on another laptop but it will not boot on this system probably because it didn’t install from this system it doesnt have the neccessary software/files or whatever to boot.

I can’t get into any recovery option at all and when I boot from USB it just goes 75 maybe 80 percent of the way and the screen goes black but it doesn’t turn off because if I press the caps lock key the light comes on and the light on the USB is still flashing.

Please help if you can. I do not know the OS that was on her before but I can only guess it was Sierra or High Sierra since its a slightly older MacBook.

I hope I have given you enough info.

Do you have the option of connecting to another monitor via Thunderbolt or HDMI? That helped me once with a Macbook Pro issue, when the Retina screen went blank but the other monitor showed me what was going on.

Older question, but since I have come across the same laptop recently I can say one or two things for troubleshooting:

Where you installed the OS from onto the drive doesn't matter, as long as it's another genuine Mac (i. e. no OCLP) and as long it's an OS version it supports. Check everymac dot com or the app Mactracker. Here it's everything between 10.9 (Mavericks) and 11 (Big Sur).

I booted such a MacBook off of USB and an SSD with High Sierra (installed from a non Retina model) since no storage was present in the used machine.

As for Macs getting stuck at a certain percentage during booting, I have noticed two possible failures on a 2010 MacBook Pro:

A) The SATA cable between the hard drive/ SSD and the computer was broken. This resulted in very slow boot ups that mostly it didn't finish at all.

The SATA connection on the 2012 Retina model is different than on older ones. So you cannot just change a cable to resolve this, it's likely a tiny component like a resistor, capacitor or MOSFET or so. And perhaps it's not even the issue. Also: If the SATA connection on a 2010 model was the fault, it would still boot up from USB or Firewire, which is not the case here.

B) RAM! MacBooks are very picky about the correct speed in those models where you could still change the modules. So when I put a RAM stick with too high a frequency in the 2010 MBP, it would do exactly that: start booting and giving you hope and then stop at half the way or so, wait a few seconds and then reboot.

If a faulty RAM is the issue here, this is bad luck, unfortunately, since the RAM is soldered on. Technically you can change soldered on RAM, as Dosdude showed in one of his videos, but you need special equipment. So for normal people like me this would mean to change the logic board.

However, there might still be another fault causing this problem and maybe it's just a tiny capacitor or so. Troubleshooting on these computers has become more and more of a hassle.

C) And lastly, since you wrote that you can't get into the recovery option: maybe there's (also) an issue with the built in keyboard and it doesn't register the keys pressed during start-up. This seems to be a common issue with these more modern machines (Retina vs. 2010 models) as soon as they were exposed to moisture.

Connect an external keyboard and see if you can boot into Recovery etc.

However, a faulty keyboard should not keep it from fully booting. (On the other hand, I might be wrong and a missing part completely messes up the Retina's way of working.)

There is a simpler issue here! Apple updated the OS from GUID/HFS+ to GUID/APFS this requires the firmware upgraded so both NVMe drives can be seen as well as the OS to install if the OS is a supported version for the system per Apple, once you have achieved that, then using OpenCore one can go higher (becareful as some apps won’t run on the newer OS’s)
