Yosemite cannot boot (Freezes) even with Clean Install

Macbook Pro 15" was normal in the normal, but I updated Samsung Kies and it told me the restart, after that I cannot boot up Yosemite 10.10.2 at all

What I've done:

1. I can access Target Mode with my iMac, copied my files with no problem. I used my imac to verify both MBP HDD and Bootcamp and even try repairing, it showed that there was no fault at MBP in the first place.
2. I can enter Safe Mode, I tried updating the OSX to 10.10.3 and still does not work

3. Bootcamp windows got bluescreen, removed it still doesn't help.

4. I tried install a Clean Install, and still doesn't work, (Installed through SD Card)

5. It seems now I can only do ie., continue my update, continue my new install through safe mode ONLY


I never turned on Filevault in the first place.

At this point I'm not so sure, if I can still access through Target Mode, hopefully it should mean that my hard disk isn't broken.


I am out of ideas... please help

Ps. at normal Start up from the progress bar sometimes the screen stutters and showed me a pixelated screen and then switched back to the progress bar after a minute the loading circle appears and the looping appeared overlapped and thickens

status updates,


I tried doing a clean install on a brand new ssd, and the same result still lingers, furthermore I can only continue to complete my installation in safe mode, a normal boot up will give me the same result. I tried doing a hardware check and nothing seems to be the problem. But the mosaic screen still happens.


currently I am doing the internet recovery, it's trying to install Lion, we'll see what happens...
