Did you mean you replaced the SSD? Or are you using the original one still?

I am using the original one still

Did you re-install it for any particular reason? Were you experiencing any issues prior to this?

 

[Markelgomez]

No, i only disassemble it because i was looking for an adapter for a nvme ssd but after reinstalling the original one it doesnt work

Try reseating it, make sure its fully inserted into the port. Try and earth yourself too to minimise the risk of ElectroStatic Discharges damaging it.

Try running the 'Apple Hardware Test' to see if it finds any problems. To do this, power down the Mac, then power it back on while holding the D key. Run the test and report back.

Does it boot in to Recovery mode? Was this how you managed to run the diskutil command as per your original post? Otherwise how did you manage to execute the command?

 

[Markelgomez]

Online recovery mode and boot from an usb works

The late 2012 13" Retina doesn't use NVMe for the SSD.

Sounds like the SSD or SSD connector on the logic board may be defective.

Try running Internet Diagnostics by holding down Option+D after pressing the power button.

Try booting macOS from an external USB drive. If it works, it may be time to get a replacement drive or take it to a repair shop that has the tools to test the drive and logic board.

Could you have damaged the connector or the cable?

 

[Markelgomez]

Maybe, I dont know

Could be that the SSD/HDD cable may be loose or damaged. Need to open the MBP again, carefully remove the connector from the SSD and reinsert it carefully, then trace the cable back to the logicboard and carefully remove the cable then carefully reinsert it. If you haven't done the latter before you should look at a video (ifixit or youtube) on how to remove the cable from the logicboard, don't just yank on it.

If that doesn't fix the problem, you probably need to buy a replacement SSD/HDD cable.
