macbook air osx 10.13.6 can't finish booting

Hi,

My Macbook air under high sierra 10.13.6 cannot reboot anymore the progression bar under my account picture stop at about 80%.

I have used target mode to get my data back. But don't know what else to do. Can't boot in safety mode either and alt+cmd+p+r didn't help.

Thank you for your help.

The next logical step would be to either restore a Time Machine backup, or reinstall macOS.

Thanks for the reply. I did that but there is some corruption so I would like perform a clean install of Mojave instead of High Sierra and then reinstall my app and import my files the old way. I have another Mac on Mojave now and a thunderbolt cable to link them if I can do the install from one Mac to the other ; in target mode maybe ? I'll start another thread about it I guess if you have some input it would be greatly appreciated.
