I've looked into Rufus documentation and found this:

I used an UEFI bootable ISO based on grub, but all I get is the grub prompt

This can happen if you chose GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer in the Partition scheme dropdown, and part_gpt module was not included in grub when running grub-mkimage (See here).

In this case, you need to select MBR partition scheme for UEFI computer, and the grub.efi boot should work as expected.

You can find more here.

Also, I've recently installed eOS Loki on my laptop with UEFI and Secure Boot active. I have created my liveUSB stick using another Linux distribution and the dd command.

The following should work on any Linux distribution

Check your disks and what device is your pen drive using lsblk command.
Check your disks and what device is your pen drive using lsblk command.

You should see something like this:

You should see something like this:

In my case, /dev/sdb disk with 14.9G is my USB stick.

Now, all you have to do is use the dd magic.
Now, all you have to do is use the dd magic.

Use sudo dd if=/path-to-elementary.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress - where X is your disk.

Use sudo dd if=/path-to-elementary.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress - where X is your disk.

Note: the status=progress argument is not required, but it provides useful information about the progress of the liveUSB creation.

In the end you will be able to boot the elementary OS in a UEFI PC with Secure Boot enabled.
