Always touble. Install "Aurora Store" with F-Droid.
Also disable auto update.
Ignore the Google Play "red pill" update. We stay in wonderland ;)
Works, but I recommend to remove the phone from the charger as soon as the battery is charged.
Symptom: attach usb power and "nothing" happens
The Problem: battery deep depleted, the device fails to launch the charger mode, boot loop
Solution:
Select Boot Mode:
[VOLUME_UP to select, VOLUME_DOWN is OK.]
[Recovery Mode]
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal Mode]
Now it's slow charging at least. Give it half or one hour. Then try to launch recovery, and in recovery "power off"!
The device will power off, but as usb power is present, it always starts up(!) and it shall start the charger mode now.
