I added G Switch App to MacBook Pro 2011 8,2 and now it doesn't load and boot. Tried recovery and only white screen. What can I do?

After Login and entering the password it goes onto a blank white screen.

Then it reboots over and over.

Tried holding shift on power up for safe mode? Or you ahould be able to boot from USB by holding option.

I believe those machines were notorious for GPU failures. That looks like a hardware issue. I spent a lot of time trying to find a software workaround for a 2011 for a friend, eventually gave up. Good luck to you.

Thank you, finally got into restore on another Mac and it is working again. Some glitch. Sorry to waste your time.
