The "BCM2712 Boot" showing up in Windows Device Manager suggests the Pi is entering USB boot mode (RPIBOOT), which is a good sign—it means the ROM is still functional and looking for a recovery image. However, simply connecting it to your PC via USB-C and seeing it in Device Manager isn’t enough; you need to actively send the recovery bootloader using the rpiboot tool.
