[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1802874, member: 204485"] I would be interested in knowing where you got the initial advice from. Firstly it is not necessary to encrypt your drive in the first place but having decrypted it I would have been inclined to check all was well with all functions of the device. If so I would have then done another full backup of the device preferably as a clone (you don't mention how you backed up so I'll assume you used Time Machine). That would have given you a bootable version of your HD. Also you don't mention which model MBP you have so I'm not even sure if it's capable of running Mojave. chscag's advice is probably the best way to go at this point but I get the impression that your MBP is unusable now. If you can access online restore you may need to go that way, reinstall the original OS (Mountain Lion) and follow Pigoo3's advice (and links) to upgrade to El Capitan and from there to Sierra/High Sierra. Obviously if this is not possible it will be a trip to an Apple Service centre. [/QUOTE]
