iPhone 13 Pro stuck in DFU/Recovery after failed flash.

Installed the iOS 26 Beta on my iPhone 13 Pro last night, hated it.

I wasn't aware that there is a supported way of restoring back to iOS18.5, so I (foolishly) opted to flash the iOS18.5 ispw file onto my device using a 3rd party tool.

Now, my device is stuck in a state between.

Unable to flash, unable to use itunes to restore, randomly gives error codes during restoration attempts.

Worries my device may be lost permanently!

Please advise.
