Problem:
Out of nowhere (i.e. no system updates since last stable)
on boot error message ‘Symbol grub_is_lockdown not found’ → grub rescue prompt
My Manjaro (no dualboot, only OS) has been installed 2017 with UEFI and been booting ever since.
secure boot & fastboot is disabled
Status:
boot via usb - supergrub2
detects grub.cfg with all entries → boot into installed Manjaro possible
EFI system partition is available and mounted as /boot/efi/
All attempts to repair/restore grub give the impression that not grub is the problem but EFI ‘got lost’ somehow:
$ sudo efibootmgr
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
/sys/firmware/efi missing
# ls /sys/firmware/efi
ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi': No such file or directory
# efibootmgr -v
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
Following GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro
ends with
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.
Now I’m at my wits end how I can narrow down further and find a solution.
Any hints very much appreciated.
You have to disable CSM (“compatibility support module”) — also known as legacy BIOS emulation — in the UEFI firmware setup utility.

Thank you.
But CSM is disabled - I checked
recheck options in UEFI motherboard
UEFI, create a profile and save for linux
recheck all option in your UEFI ( for linux)
SecureBoot off
Fast Boot off
No CSM
No Legacy
all disks on AHCI
you can check in terminal , before chroot
inxi -Fxza
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
sudo efibootmgr -v
sudo parted -l
If that were true, then your system would have booted in UEFI mode, but it hasn’t. It has booted in BIOS emulation mode. There’s no denying that, from the output you posted.

Yes that has bee confusing me too
I found a previous post from @stephane and checked several times in the UEFI setup.
There
SecureBoot = off
Fast Boot = off
CSM = off
all disks on AHCI
I didn’t find an entry for ‘Legacy’
I get
$ test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios

Formatting differences
Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace.
Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used.
Programming code often rely on indentation to make it more readable.
Using preformatting in Markdown
Markdown includes a pattern to provide preformatting when necessary.

Anyway
Thank you all for your attempts & insights!

When starting your live Manjaro, there may be two ways to start it.
Boot it into BIOS mode
Boot it in UEFI mode
You may need to test both as the naming is often not clear.
If you boot into BIOS mode, the EFI variables are not accessible
Is this a dualboot-system ?
Did you install another linux alongside ?
You can also use maxi -eg
to collect information about the boot process. This works,
when you are in your running system (with CTRL +ALT +F2 ).
And also in a live environment
This suggests that some files in your efi-patition or in /boot/grub/… are missing or damaged

That doesn’t seem to be the case:

Sorry if I have been causing confusion.
I’m not in a live medium e.g. a manjaro*.iso with chroot
I’m in my installed Manjaro environment (booted into via usb-supergrub)
And all my output comes from my manjaro installed on sda3
@andreas85 : no dualboot, no other linux
Thanks for the hint with maxi and the possibly missing grub files, I’ll check it out.
Just rebooted again, re-checked all UEFI setings on my motherboard (as @stephane suggested)
no change - end up in grub rescue.
Though whats strange: for the first time in days efibootmgr doesn’t give me ‘EFI variables are not supported on this system’ but output as expected.
No idea what changed.
I’ll spend some more time with further reading and investigating.
If I find anything interesting I’ll post again.
So far, thanks again to all posters!

try to get USB iso manjaro, if possible by dd command or ventoy
on boot USB , you will see 2 entries , select < USB vendor name > < partition 1 > ( boot in UEFI )
redo a grub install from USb iso manjaro
inxi -Mxa ( check for UEFI only )
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
manjaro-chroot -a
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
mkinitcpio -P
sync
exit

Following @stefane 's last instruction reinstalling grub let my system boot properly again.
One more final THANKS to all who contributed here.
To sum up & retracing my steps
Similar instructions in GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro failed during my previous atemps always with
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
The most likely culprit is the CSM setting
Though every time when checked previously, it has been set to ‘disabled’
On @Aragorn 's suspicion: I ‘enabled’ rebooted ‘disabled’ this option again.
So the credit goes to @Aragorn for pointing it out again
Nevertheless the question remains how a UEFI setting can be sort of ‘unstable’.
As stated in my first post the system has been booting with those, same settings since 2017 and it has not been for years that I entered the UEFI as all.
Can this be a hint on failing of the motherboard?

Final remark
After yesterdays grub repair (incl. several reboots) everything was fine.
Today I was back booting into ‘rescue mode’…
UEFI setting CSM was back to ‘enabled’
And now I have a good guess:
Hardware from 2017 = old buffer battery plus on shutdown I separate my system from electricity via a physical on/off switch on the plug socket. i.e. after I shutdown it’s completely off the power grid.
Seems that the buffer battery on the motherboard became too weak, hence some UEFI settings go back to default values after some time in total powerless state.
Explains also inconsistent UEFI settings - depending on the availability of power supply during reboots.
PS: a quick search shows that this problem seems to be known to occur with certain ASRock boards
