Yaaay my Mac is back
I got it to work again. Formatting and reinstalling iOS did not help the first 3 times. I suspected certain sectors of the drive were bad but HD First Aid did not help. I ended up reducing the partition size to 900GB. It's 100GB less than the factory 1TB. Then I reinstalled iOS again. This seemed to do the trick.
I don't mind spending $250 on a new SSD drive but taking apart an Apple computer is like remodeling a house. My old Macbook is 14 years old and it's still running strong especially with a new fan and a new SSD drive. This iMac was only 6 years old. There's no excuse for it to go bad especially what I paid for it back in 2014.
