I’ve been trying to turn on my MacBook Pro. It goes into a black screen while it’s trying to boot ( as the progress bar reaches 50% on the Apple Logo Screen).
I am able to boot into the recovery mode and I've run the FirstAid test for my hard disk. It didn’t find any issues with the device.
Tried to login into safe mode, after the Apple logo progress screen. It goes into a spinning circle screen and it gets stuck in a loop. I waited for 15 minutes but the screen kept going blank and into spinning circle.
I have a MacBook Pro 2015 Retina running 10.14
Update – I have even tried using "Reinstall OSX" option from the recovery menu. I went through with the whole downloading and installation process. But I still end up with the same issue after booting my MacBook. I am only able to access the recovery menu.

It's possible that something in the OS got corrupted. Boot into recovery mode (hold ⌘-R on boot for those who don't know) and select the option to Reinstall OSX. It won't touch your user files or applications; it just lays down a new copy of the OS, which will likely fix your issue. You may need to explicitly connect it to your wifi/ethernet to do this. Good luck! Cheers, -j
