Losing My Mind Over Boot Issue

Losing My Mind Over Boot Issue

Hey guys,

The past week, I've been attempting to get OS Monster 12.7.3 on my Mac Pro 5, 1. It has been nothing short of a headache and it's at a point where I don't know what to do. The initial update worked fine enough, however it rendered my bluetooth and wifi card useless. Upon buying a new one card, I installed it and went through the process of replacing kext files using OpenCore Generator.

This past attempt I must've put the kext files in the wrong order because now all that happens is my Mac will show the "Mac HD" on the boot screen and then go to the apple logo and stay there. (It cycles through this process on its own) No loading bar or anything. When I try and boot to recovery mode I get a string of messages ending in "Halting on Critical Error."

I even tried reinstalling the Monterey file onto a USB. It allows me to select the USB as the boot, but still gets stuck on the apple logo.

This is more than frustrating, I'm not a computer genius by any means but I've been following what most resources have been saying. How do I get past all of this and re-organize the kext so my computer can boot properly? I can't even get to recovery mode to use terminal for anything.

Please...any help would be much appreciated. I'm a full time music producer and this computer is where I work.

What I see trying to get to recovery mode.

Stuck on Apple logo no matter what drive I try to boot from.
