Which phone. There’s usually a hidden firmware flashing feature. I had to use that when an update failed on a OnePlus phone. I’ve only ever used ones for snapdragon based phones, never tried anything else.
Essential Ph1. The flashing tool isn't out there anywhere as far as I can find
It has a snapdragon CPU so you'd have to try to find how to get it into EDL mode and potentially a cable for it. With my oneplus phone I rescued the other day I was able to use a regular cable, but that was also with their proprietary software.
