Hi,

I upgraded from 11.0 to 11.1 and I got a bootloop, then I reinstalled because it was stuck for a few good hours. Then when the new update came I upgrade it to it because I believed that Apple just fixed what was causing the bootloop...and bootloop again on upgrade to 11.2.

Now what should I do in order to install macOS upgrades without to get stuck into the installation

I'd recommend trying a clean install on an external drive to see if that solves the installation problem. Then see if you can move your stuff over to the external drive and work from there. If you can, then CCC or SuperDuper back to the internal drive.

I didn't tried this but how would that be different when the machine works perfectly fine in OS ?
 
I did a clean install. I found out the problem: Viscosity interfered with the update. It was fixed in 1.9.2 apperantly.
