My Windows partition is not bootable after create a new partition

Loner T, the output showed in the previous post was taken after reboot.

I think i've done something wrong...

What i did was:

1. Use Gdisk and in the main menu, use the 't' command and change partition 3 from 0700 to AB00. done

2. GPT4 when converted to Free Space, will return an error, because there is valid disk - disk0s4 to start with, but Free Space cannot be mounted as a disk. (i understood it like a explanation for action in number 1)

3. How was GPT5 created? i don't know, i made something wrong

4. Run the DD command for disk0s6. done - it is executed in gdisk right?
(should i rebooted before execute it?)

no, it was used to try to merge 2 partitions, to do it i needed erase the new partition, the erase worked, but the resize has failed.

maybe i did something wrong in gdisk...

before, i only could see 3 partitions in disk utility: windows, mac hd and the new (untitled), now there are 4 partitions visible (plus the free space (not visible))

Ok, here it is

ok, thank you. erase using gdisk option "d"?

Ok, but i can't manipulate it in disk utility, it shows in the Partition window, but not in main window where the command to erase is.

Oh, i'm sorry i've confused diskutil with disk utility 😕

Done, and now i have this:

Windows still with the message "missing operating system".

Loner T, you are incredible!

You are an expert and a gentleman, thank you very much for your help.

It's working fine again.

Now, i will search a good tutorial to merge partitions in order not to do mistakes again. I think i will follow your suggestion to make a clone of my Windows and recover after merge partitions.

Best regards
