Macbook Pro with OSX 10.9 does not boot
My Macbook Pro has suddenly stopped booting. When booting normally, it just shows the gray screen with Apple logo and a spinning wheel, and hangs like this. When booting in Safe Mode (Shift key), it shows the progress bar, fills it up to about 25%, then the progress bar disappears, the spinning wheel shows up and it hangs.
In Single User Mode it boots OK and gives me a command prompt. As far as I can tell, the directory structure and user files are intact.
In verbose mode, the last message I see before it hangs is
Created virtif 0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX p2p0
In Recovery mode it shows me Apple utilities. When I run the Disk Utility verifying and repairing the drives gives no errors.
Any suggestions what could be the issue? Any diagnostics I could run in Single User mode or in Repair mode from the command prompt?
Thanks in advance

I believe p2p0 is AirDrop. If you disable Wi-Fi, it might keep AirDrop from coming up. So try booting into Safe Mode, disabling Wi-Fi, and then see if your boot process gets any farther. If you can't disable Wi-Fi via the GUI in Safe Mode, you could boot into Single-User Mode by holding Cmd-S at boot, then follow the on-screen instructions to mount the boot drive read/write, then runnetworksetup -setairportpower en1 off(assuming your Wi-Fi is en1; if you're on a Retina MacBook Pro, it'll be en0; in some other cases, it may be a higher number)

I do not know what p2p set up you have but try to Enable that p2p or remove it in your settings.
That should allow the Verbose mode to continue.

I faced the same issue, and did all the steps, provided in apple support site, but to no avail.
Then I boot with other installation and go to the
/Volumes/OSX/Library/Extensions
(OSX is my faulty volume that holds my faulty OS.)
And there was a newly installed driver for huawei modems, which I delete, and reboot again, and it works.
Hope it will help someone.

Samething happened to my 2013 retina Mac book pro. Thank god I had apple care on it. I took my Mac to apple and repair cost would have been around 1,200 Dollars. The problem was from the GPU. A logo booted up and with the spinning wheel, almost same with safe mode. They replaced the whole motherboard on my Mac.
