    b4 you posted your solution, i found the solution on this site to be working almost perfectly, but i think it still didnt boot.
    https://www.pckr.co.uk/arch-grub-mkc...hroot-install/
    anyways since they look alike i decided to go with urs, but when i got to this command

    mount --bind /hostrun/lvm /run/lvm

    i get an error, so i had to follow the instructions on the other site, and exit chroot and run


    chroot /mnt /bin/bash

    mkdir /run/lvm

    mount --bind /hostrun/lvm /run/lvm


    after that i could proceed but was shortly cut off by an error while running the grub-install /dev/sda

    was kinda wondering tho, why are we installing grub into just sda and not sda2 where my efi partition is?
    anyways, I'll continue to look into it tho, lemme see if i can overcome this.
    Thanks all the same.

    I've already added mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda** /mnt/boot/efi to resolve this error. It's is supposed to work. I don't know why it's not working for you. What is the exact error message?

    NO. You are installing grub through your bootable USB to the destination hard drive whose name is /dev/sda.

    I've edited my post in this thread and replaced it with the working solution of that thread. Try it again.
