About the system, briefly :
Lenovo G50-70
dual boot Windows 10 & Manjaro Linux 21.0
Description of the issue :
When I boot into anything else besides Windows 10 by putting it on the 1st spot in the boot order in the UEFI firmware menu, the system boots into grub as it should.
After a restart I get greeted with the error message Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed
“OK” gets me to an empty menu and if I restart via power button, the system boots to Windows as if there is no issue at all.
If the boot order is to be checked, it is automatically reset to Windows being first in the list. (BTW, if I go to the boot menu in the UEFI firmware and boot directly to an entry there, no issues booting - that’s how I am writing from Manjaro)
What I already tried :
I know for a fact, it is not a Manjaro issue. Have had it for a month since trying to boot Manjaro from a flash drive while running Windows in “dual” boot with Linux Mint (used it in dual boot with Win10 before switching to Manjaro). That much I have realized so far.
It might be that my UEFI fiormware got jinxed back then, since my USB Flash Drive didn’t have a separate EFI partition on it, and the UEFI firmware treated the Drive as the internal disk.

I’ve followed this post to get Manjaro to appear.
Ideas so far :
Recently figured that flashing the UEFI firmware with a new image might solve the issue. It’s just that it is a very destructive option if it backfires, and there might be some less destructive ways to deal with it which I might not be aware of as I am very new to this topic.
Are there any ideas what I can try, so booting directly via grub can be possible again?
Really don’t want to render my only Laptop unbootable if there are better avenues to pursue than flashing the UEFI firmware.

Update : Reflashed my BIOS with more up to date version.
Results : New BIOS firmware version; other than that - none. The issue persists as it was.
Conclusions : The issue is either my new 1 TB SSD or there is something in Manjaro. The latter unlikely.

OK, the way you installed your system is by using the UEFI firmware, so what you’re seeing is a “feature” of said firmware.
As you didn’t post an inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width we’re a bit in the dark here, boot looking at the symptoms of your issue, there is no way of Manjaro / Mint / Windows changing anything as the UEFI firmware runs above the OS .
So if you want to change anything:
You have to take a different option in UEFI
You’re in for a complete reinstall of Manjaro…
You might be in for a W10 reinstall if you change that option (though that’s very unlikely)
How do you want to proceed???
Live with it the way it is…
Change!

Are you offering something with installing Manjaro in BIOS mode?
I attempted it, but I probably should not have let Calamares to carry me through BIOS mode install automatically
I have Backup of my homefolder on cloud via Deja Dup program (or “app”, as it is hip to say nowadays) and I have timeshift on a separate internal SSD. Windows is also backed up, so I have probably nothing to loose.
Can reinstalling windows be substituted with restoring system image?

It says efi. For that install I did nothing with UEFI system.
I tried once BIOS installation, but Calamares somehow filled up my 100 MB ESP so I needed to restore my system from back up to undo it. Since it was BIOS install, it shouldn’t have did anything with ESP, as far as I understand.
Can the issue be caused by a new SSD drive? That is the main drive right now, with the ESP.

Note 1: Well, except that you don’t have a Manjaro issue but an UEFI issue. Let me go grab the old Lenovo I’ve got lying around and check the UEFI menu…

ubuntu is the Manjaro boot loader. That is a fix for another “feature” of UEFI firmware → UEFI: Manjaro is missing
Manjaro folder and bootloader under the name of “Manjaro” actually exists in /boot/efi/EFI, UEFI just deosn’t acknowledge it.

Oh ooh… No wonder you’re having troubles!
Lemme boot my Lenovo (spare laptop in case my main one crashes) I’ve got lying around (It’s a single boot Manjaro only) and I’ll get back to you…

Is there something wrong with the instructions in the thread. That was the only possible way to get Manjaro into the boot menu.

My Lenovo is dead .efi files except the one from Micro$oft. I’m going to try and call in someone who has a Lenovo from the chat channel to help you trhough the initial setup using UEFI.
The article you linked to is 3 years old and is for a Yoga, not for a G50…

Yes I am aware.
There is also another thing. There are Lenovo InsydeH20 firmware laptops which have it. Mine doesn’t have a menu to add a trusted efi file. I am really limited to some other guys with Lenovo, who are able to do that.
I was partially hoping that by updating firmware I get those menues, it is not the case. My bios chip is probably very old. Last updated firmware is from the year 2015 and I didn’t have the latest version on my bios.

@stephane I know you’re a wizard at UEFI and I’m stuck here but I’ve copied all the Root Cause Analysis into the Original Post.
Could you have a look, SVP?
what have you done exactly on with ubuntu efi folder ?
=> delete entre UEFI
==> then redo grub -install with chroot
check info in your UEFI motherboard
disable secure boot
disable fast boot
disks on AHCI
no legacy
no CSM
UEFI only or others ( not windows )
you should see
open a terminal and check
inxi -Mxa ( check for UEFI only )
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
sudo lsbk -fs ( check uuid /boot/efi)
sudo parted -l ( check flag boot & esp on /boot/efi )
sudo manjaro chroot -a
cat /etc/fstab ( check /boot/efi & UUID here )
exit

I did that.sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --recheck --debug
So just the boot entry. Does efibootmgr remove the folder form /boot/efi/EFI as well?
Do I need live USB starting from here, or I can do it from the disk? (will perform when you explain)
disable secure boot ---- check
disable fast boot ---- check
disks on AHCI ---- check
no legacy ---- check
no CSM ---- check
UEFI only or others ( not windows ) ---- what do you mean?
UEFI only boot ---- check
Additional info requested:
inxi -Mxa ✔
