Hello, @Damouche, welcome to /e/ forum.

  • First, you need to charge the battery without booting.

  • what is the OS on your PC ?

  • what was previous OS on the phone ?

  • Also, please explain what you did to install.
    and link the instructions page you followed

So all the work is done by a script.

Did you save the terminal output on the PC as the script ran ?

Did you notice any error in the output ?

You know that the physical button presses for Fastboot mode are

With the device powered off - hold Volume Up + Power

Getting Fastboot mode will be your primary aim, I expect you know. It is not so uncommon for the script to fail to flash some partition making the phone unuseable. The fix is to run the script again from Fastboot mode.

You did install Git Bash ?

It is quite uncommon to bootloop from Fastboot.

As you are aware once the battery drains (and as said by @piero) don’t try to boot the phone once drained and recharged but go straight to Fastboot.

Meanwhile are you aware that you may be able to trigger Fastboot at the precise point in the bootloop where the phone is momentarily off. Worth to keep trying to get the timing just right with the button presses to try to engage Fastboot.

just tried, it shoes the “orange status” for less than 5sec and restart bootlooping… buttt just before that, i see “recovery” at the bottom left of my screen for 0.5s approximativly
