No idea if perhaps something bad happened to partitions and to eMMC chip while the device was stuck in bootloops for ~2 days until it drained the battery / until it displayed battery low screen.
Since then I charge the battery every couple of months and then unplug the battery to stop the bootloops. The behavior of that PW5 unit is still exactly the same as it was since that first reboot after botched bridge.sh edit.
