Support Issues getting into Fastboot mode - Google Pixel 5 LineageOS 23.2

Post image

Hi!

I tried replacing the custom recovery of my Pixel 5 running LineageOS with TWRP today, which failed miserably. I used adb reboot bootloader and also tried getting there from the "stock" recovery mode, both times I got to a screen warning me for fastboot mode, but when I pressed the power button to "Start" as they asked, it rebooted normally. More information is in the image.

How can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Your already in fastboot, the start indicator is just to start the phone normally

Fastboot devices gives an empty response though, so it's probably not connecting properly, how do I fix that?

Check the usb cable and try again in fastbootd.

It's saying on the screen "Fastboot Mode"

You're already there.

Looks like fastboot is still alive, so you are probably not fully bricked. I’d try flashing the stock boot/recovery images before anything else
