OCLP and NVRAM reset : now output to my monitor dont work. Any workaround?

I was trying to boot into Big Sur with my Mac Mini mid 2011 and OCLP. Because I had a "Waiting for debugger" message I decided to flush the Nvram, as suggested by someone on a forum.

I did it with command line first (at OCLP boot - space bar and then CMD line Nvram reset), and also with Option CMD + P + R key, several times. All leaded to black screen and no boot option.. I've tried numerous things since then and nothing worked.

  • Different keys combo ant start: option, option+R, option-cmd+R, etc.
  • Resetting SMC
  • Changing the monitor output to mini Display / HDMI

Obv, I tried different cable combination. Obv monitor and cable have been tested with another PC and are working fine.

And then, boom, I plugged the Mac Mini to my TV and now it worked! I've booted up in old Mac os Sierra, rebooted.

However, when I plug it back to my monitor, nothing. I stil have a black screen.

There is a tons of posts about this problem everywhere, and no solution. Macrumous, official Apple forums.. From what I understand, OCLP have changed something on my NVRAM or EFI so I could use metal graphic.

Any idea how can I revert this?
