first i was trying to flash with pixel flasher but device was softbricked until i sideloaded ota again,
i also tried with init boot but also without progress

Reopening the issue because im having the exact same issue, flashed boot.img with apatch, got into a bootloop. managed to fastboot with original eta.

I have managed to get it working, but don't know if it's correct way

I think I side loaded ota without root flashed init_boot with magisk and after booting once flashed boot with apatch and get it working
