I lost 3 days of my life + now I need reinstall everything 🥲
I found the problem! It was actually the kernel, just both the latest and the lts versions released after 11th of August don't work. So for now I need to stick to the versions from 11th. Thank you very much for the help!
Edit: this is the bug
This is the log https://ufile.io/p5wj1hu0
I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I added pci=nommconf
to the kernel parameters as I had errors similar to the one in this topic, otherwise the log was over 40 000 lines long.
Edit: I'm not sure if this is exactly a kernel problem, as I get the same error when booting with the LTS kernel, which is older than the one installed with the offline installer.
This didn't help :/
No, I have never used encryption

(Continues in the second comment)
I have already wiped everything, so no logs... The only way to have it booting is to install EndeavourOS using the offline installer, which is using kernel 6.4.8. There is an option to install the LTS kernel alongside. So the system is booting with 6.4.8, but after updating, neither the new 6.4.12, or the LTS, which is 6.2, doesn't boot. I haven't tried booting with the LTS kernel before updating, to see if the same kernel is working before and after or not. I will try to reinstall it using the offline installer and then try to gather some logs after updating.
I found it!

The problem is already solved (At least I found the bug and a temporary solution) At the beginning of the post there is a link to the bug report.
