Sep 27, 2015 at 2:37 comment added Steven Scotten When instructed to "Enter: configfile (hd and press TAB. Select one…" which one am I supposed to select? The GRUB partition or the partition where ElementaryOS was supposedly installed? I've tried all three available ( (hd0,gpt1) which is a FAT partition about 500MB, (hd0,gpt2) which is "ext*"about 250MB and (hd0,gpt3) which says no known filesystem detected, about 250GB) and sadly no success. Since you say to open terminal after boot, I assume that the next step is to reboot. Should this be with GRUB's reboot command or the hardware power switch? Also, you mean boot to the USB?

Sep 10, 2015 at 17:29 comment added Lewis Goddard As far as I understand it, you can either have the Grub EFI or Grub Legacy installable offline, but not both. All those other systems favour the older standard, but elementary was trying to provide more recent support. Apparently it hasn't helped much, and the decision is being reconsidered.
Sep 10, 2015 at 13:50 comment added JulianLai We all connected to the internet while installing the system, and it failed to boot into the system. Why does Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, OpenSUSE, and elementary OS Freya 0.3 have no issue with booting in UEFI mode, but 0.3.1 does?

Sep 9, 2015 at 9:56 comment added Lewis Goddard "As normal" ? As stated elsewhere, it is not currently possible to ship both legacy and EFI grub at once. As such, you must connect to the internet to install on an EFI computer. Practically all other distributions are going down the other route of making EFI always work and legacy be broken on older machines. Perhaps it's worth noting there are no reports of this happening if installing while connected.
