If you can get to EDL, you can get to recovery and do a factory reset.
If that doesn't work you can just do a full update via recovery.
If that doesn't work you'll need a custom recovery to install a full update.

A device in EDL mode should show up with an adb devices command, is that correct?

I understand this EDL boot method doesn't have a useful bootloader, so I'll keep trying button combos to try and get to recovery.

If your device is bricked and you cannot access the recovery menu through the power button, you can enter EDL (Engineering Debug Loader) mode. To do this, hold the power button until the LED goes off for about 0.5 seconds and then lights up again. Your device is now in EDL mode. However, note that there might not be a loader available to perform useful actions in this mode.

ADB, fastboot and EDL are all separate things which can't be detected by the other tools.

You need to do the preliminary steps with an EDL client to get the HWID so we can tell what the Firehose loader is.
