I've recently purchased a RPI Zero 2W and for some reason i can't manage to make it boot at all. I'm using the Raspberry Pi Imager tool on my Macbook to flash the firmware for the RPI and I've tried the following OS's (Full - 32 & 64bit, Lite - 32 & 64bit, and Ubuntu Server 24.04.4 LTS 64-bit).
After the flash is successful, I try to power on the device and connect this via a mini-hdmi cable to my monitor just to see what is happening there, and it seems that the device is stuck in a bootloop (I've attached a screenshot of what I can see on the monitor during this booting sequence). The last line that it prints is: and then it seems like it crashes and reboots starting the whole process again. This goes on forever.
I've tried multiple power supplies (an official one and other phone chargers - currently using a OnePlus Warp charger 5V - 2A), different sd cards (8GB - 32GB), and I'm just not sure what else I can do. Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks!
