    Persistent 'Executing grub dummy failed'

    Hi I'm trying to install kali linux everything is going fine until the grub installation it gives a Grub Dummy Failed error.
    It used to work fine until after deleting parrot.
    After deleting parrot, every the distro's manjaro, debian, ubuntu, parrot Kali, MX linux, antergos, linux mint I try to install gives the same error: Executing 'grub-install dummy' failed.
    This is a fatal error.
    Model: 17.3" Optimus X from pc Specialist
    CPu 8750H
    GPU 1050TI
    Intel SSD 256 GB(rest of the specs here)
    2 TB HDD
    16 GB Corsair 2666 MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8 GB)


    I tried the following using parrot live usb:
    mount /dev/nvmd0n1p5 /mnt <----- This is the partition linux in installed on
    mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
    mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
    mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
    mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
    mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi <------ Efi partition
    mount -o remount,rw /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
    mkdir /mnt/hostrun
    mount --bind /run /mnt/hostrun
    chroot /mnt
    mkdir /run/lvm
    mount --bind /hostrun/lvm /run/lvm
    grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 <----- gives error, either I/O error or not enough space error, stuck here
    update-grub
    exit
    umount /mnt/dev
    umount /mnt/proc
    umount /mnt/sys
    umount /mnt/boot/efi
    umount /mnt/hostrun
    umount /mnt/run/lvm
    umount /mnt
    REBOOT

    I erased my SSD (Which I install my operating systems on, dual boot windows 10 and Linux) with zeroes in order to erase faulty partitions using medicat and AOMEI partition assistent portable
    Even that did not work.

    I'm desperately trying to figure out how to solve this. I hope someone can help!

    I have provided some images.

    i try all the same and don't work for me.. (grub screw all after try to upgrade my kali)..

    finaly, run usb on rescue mode.
    try to force install grub on efi partition > failed, fatal error
    try to instal grub on /dev/sda > failed, fatal error

    run command line on /dev/sda1 (my kali partition)
    #mount /dev/sda3 /boot/efi -o rw
    #update-initramfs -u
    #update-grub
    detect all systems (kali, slackware, w10, debian jessie on my laptop) and write all data on EFI sys.
    #reboot
    and this work for me.-

    @MEGADETH Is update-initramfs required?
