Get an old usb cable, cut it red to positive, black to negative, charge for about an hour, then do this guide.
Thanks for the guide! Just as a note, step one should read that you hold Vol DOWN + Power to get into fastboot! I was confused at first since it wasn’t working, but that fixed it and the rest was great!
Thanks 🙂
