LG G5 boot into recovery show-stopper (maybe not understanding the manual)

Hurray! I looking at the booting /e/ screen – which shall apparently take veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long!!! (OK, it’s over in 5.5 minutes)

In short: I had to downgrade to Android 6 and then go through the whole process again. I intend to collect the links and hints I used on my way, but I’m excited now over my new pRecious…
