If you can get to fastboot mode, you can do:

sudo ./fastboot setvar bootmode reset

or
sudo ./fastboot setvar bootmode factory

You can always change them back later...

to try out those modes. You need to reboot to see what they do. You might need a serial console to make sense of what they are doing. I thing I did try factory and it dropped to a bist command line on the serial port, as I recall.
