I wanted to install basic android 13 on my 10T but accidentally forgot to remove the old vbmeta and put in the new one so it was kinda a mix of lineage's vbmeta (i tried to go from lineage os to android) and android's system and boot image files. It was bootlooping, then i figured out how to go into bootloader and i flashed half of the files with OOS 12.1 fastboot rom, then i powered it off to try to go into fastbootd mode and it didn't turn on, i tried holding the power and volume buttons in every single way possible but nothing worked. Can someone help me with what i can do to at least turn it back on and go into bootloader? I'm really desperate at this point, im ready to clear every single bit of data just to restore the phone, if it is possible of course.

If you connect the phone to the computer, is it recognised in some way in the Device Manager (perhaps in EDL mode)?

Yeah uh well how can I get it to boot anywhere at all? It doesn't respond to any combination of power and volume buttons. I even calculated how many there are: 4×2=8 and none worked, computer as I said earlier doesn't see it as any device since it's turned off.

Also just as an addition to my previous messages a wanna mention that it was originally a Chinese Ace Pro model which was idk how remade to think that it is 10T which could lead to some issues with restoring it idk.
