1 Hangs in boot status bar
I’ve transferred all my data and documents to the new computer and yesterday I had to make a security change (apple, preferences, security) so that I could get both thunderbolt ports working as they were not being recognized. I followed the advice online, shut the computer down using shift, control, option and power at the same time, and now all I get is a loading bar on the screen. I let it go for an hour last night to no avail, and this morning, the same thing.
I’m at a loss what to do.
I’ve included a picture.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.

How did you do this? Using Migration Assistant or Cloning software?

Neither thunderbolt port was working and I did some online research with my sound device and I was told to make sure I had the latest driver,
go into apple>preferences>security and click “allow” on the device. I did that, then restarted, and it never came back online.

Do you have a bootable USB thumb drive? Or at least have one you can make into a bootable OS installer from a second Mac with the same OS level your system is using?

Hi Dan, thank you for helping. I have to admit that I posted here the questions of my buddy Steve, who had theses issues with a machine he got from me.It had been working fine before he transferred his data on it and made the changes his software support folks told him to make. And yes, I do have a bootable mojave installer, and could very well reinstall a fresh copy of OSX mojave if he gets stuck. He is consulting with Apple right now. I told him about you, and the vast knowledge available here as well. The latest from him was this:
"I contacted apple and he walked me through a complete reboot. Nothing else was working. So we changed the name from Mojave to Macintosh HD and I am now installing macOSMojave again. I will most likely transfer my docs and files manually as I backed them up, and have been advised to download applications from the app store or third party websites directly."
