Can't update or install apps from the play store. I've tried reflashing gapps and clearing data from play services, play store, and download manager.

Edit: network connection is working fine it just seems to be the store that's wonky

Now I really did it. So I recovered to a zv3 rooted backup then tried flashing back to this but got stuck on the swirling dots while it's setting up 5.1. SO I hard reset it and left it alone for another two hours only to come back and find my battery dead.

It still charged so I threw it into download mode and got back to this point again, however this time all of my power + functions just boot loop me.

power + vol up for factory reset -- boot loop
power + vol up&down for recovery -- boot loop
power vol -- does nothing -- so I cannot access download mode this time to revert to zv3 stock

Anyone have any ideas as to what to do? Or is it safe to call it a paperweight.

edit: disregard all that is above, it seems you need to be charged past a certain % before you can enter download mode. charge past 20% to be safe then pull the battery then replace. After which hold vol up + plug into port.

I don't want to sound arrogant, but did you hold down the buttons long enough? To get into recovery mode, I hold the power and volume button for a solid ten seconds, until twrp is loaded. Also, if you are still charging your phone while doing this, let it charge, then try it unplugged. Sometimes the extra power source messes things up.

I tried holding it for a solid 30+ seconds while charged to 10% and unplugged a few times about 4 hours ago.
