NVRAM Reset and Grub Doesn't Appear Now

Recently, the battery died along with the ML1220 battery for the UEFI on my laptop. So, Linux doesn't appear on boot. I have Arch linux installed from Learn Linux TV which has given me trouble in trying to create a new grub bootloader so the rest of the operating system can be detected. Even with it detecting the NVME drive with efibootmgr, I can't boot into arch Linux. I have three partitions on the nvme drive. My first partition is an EFI system -- 512mb, the second is 512M of the Linux Filesystem, and the third is a luks encrypted Linux LVM. When trying to run something like a grub-install it fails, but according to other posts this should be as simple as just adding this to the NVRAM. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Re: NVRAM Reset and Grub Doesn't Appear Now

GRUB's core.img can be copied from /EFI/Arch/grubx64.efi to /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (both paths relative to the EFI system partition), which should get the system booting without NVRAM entries.
