Going in circles without a real-time clock

I don't have Pi 5 to check this, but from what I've read, it does not support PPS. And such support is required; otherwise, even with a source that supports PPS, the connection will behave in a non-PPS fashion.
Apparently, cable quality is also demonstrating itself to be a significant factor in the Pi 5 power supply environment.
Regarding both these points:

RPI4 latest rpi-firmware package can't boot via USB
1 project | /r/voidlinux | 5 Mar 2023

I should note, I updated the eeprom, USB hub, and network firmware using the images provided from the following repository: https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom. So it certainly isn't a corrupted eeprom chip, and if it was I wouldn't be able to boot the old installation I pulled from my backup drive.

Its a known issue with the current Pi 4 boot firmware. The net install option is trying to look for a keyboard and gets confused with some HIDs.
Green Light of Death

I was working on a final project for my class and needed an adc. So I ordered an ADS1115 and I had to solder the pins onto it. I've never soldered before, but I tried my best. Didn't look amazing, but didn't look like any pins were getting shorted so I plugged it in to the Pi. I then noticed that my ssh disconnected and couldn't reconnect. Tried plugging in the HDMI and there was no video output. I tried flashing a new OS onto it, didn't work. Tried EEPROM recovery from here and it didn't work. So I think I killed the Pi. It doesn't feel like it's getting warmed up or anything.

Boot trouble : "failed to set GPIO 6 state (0 ffffffff)"

I try to reset the pi as factory settings (following this github advice). I use pi-imager to set my SD card to lead the pi using USB boot priority and plug a USB key with raspbian OS (no desktop) and now getting green screen when booting. Think that the pi is dead.
