Dear friend

You have to find the appropriate cd to restore your firrmware. Have a look at the process:

It is a very simple process , but I can not help you because the iMac 13,2 I don't know if exists on the available versions 1.4-1.9.

Usually Linux installations (UBUNTU) destroy the EFI in most Mac's. If you don't solve the problem, try visiting Apple Authorised Service , they have the tools to restore it. Unfortunately for money.

Good Luck

Hi @mansourrh, I have the exact same issue (same hardware, same problem). I verified that firmware is ok

/usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/eficheck --integrity-check

gives

EFI Version: IM131.88Z.F000.B00.2006101655  (Boot ROM Version: 292.0.0.0.0)
Primary allowlist version match found. No changes detected in primary hashes.
SEC Version: IM131.AAPLEFI4.88Z.0014.I00.1209241135
SEC allowlist version match found. No changes detected in SEC hashes.

Now, I was wondering whether the blessing worked? When booting with 'option' key held, my USB stick shows as "EFI Boot" rather than "AHT".

on the other hand, my iMac being a 13,2, why should EFI version be IM31*?

Having the exact same hardware, same problem.

My only difference is the EFI seems to be newer than user @cmigliorini

/usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/eficheck --integrity-check
EFI Version: IM131.88Z.F000.B00.2012171805 (Boot ROM Version: 421.0.0.0.0)
Primary allowlist version match found. No changes detected in primary hashes.
SEC Version: IM131.AAPLEFI4.88Z.0014.I00.1209241135
SEC allowlist version match found. No changes detected in SEC hashes.

I appreciate any help to resolve this and finally be able to launch Diagnostics. Thanks
