My system shows some of these same commands, so not sure, but doubt these are the problem.
What do these commands show:
bless --info
bless --getboot
ls -lai /System/Library/Coreservices | head
ls -lai /System/Library/Coreservices/boot.efi
df -kt

ou might need to precede these with "sudo" and then give your admin password at the prompt for the first couple of commands. Do you only have one boot volume on this Mac? I think yes but want to be certain.
yes I had to put sudo :) for the first two.
ere there any problems when you created the macOS boot disk that system is now booting from? Has this prohibitory boot during restart problem always happened? Did you go thru a normal macOS High Sierra install on the new SSD (using the "Install macOS High Sierra.app" program) or did you do something like clone/copy the old disk to the new or ??? If you did do the clone/copy how exactly did you do it? I just looked at your OP again and it says that you did do a normal "Install macOS..." for High Sierra, but just want to make certain.
First time I installed via network connection to apple server, I couldn't download a proper copy from the app store, cause my HDD was broken and I've just installed a brand new SSD.
When this problem showed up, I have download High Sierra, put it in a USB key and do a "clean install", which didn't remove the problem.
Is this because Network Installation configure the boot sequence wrongly ?
Is it because my SSD is for some reason not recognize during the the "restart", because is not an "apple" HDD ? xD
Jokes aside, it all started at that moment, removing the HDD cause broken, install from network (power key then "cmd+C", not sure, but it opened a 1980 dialogue box with a computer connecting with a cable, after a while it started downloading and installing HS) .
Good luck...
Thanks a lot again.
