Will it boot into fast boot when starting up with like pressing the volume up or volume down key at boot? Because as long as you can get into fast boot, you can fix it.
Comment on Why don't cell phones have BIOS?

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.
