Macbook Pro bricked after attempt to reinstall macOS Sonoma

Hello, as stated above, I‘ve tried to reinstall macOS Sonoma on my Macbook Pro 14“ M1 Pro. While doing so it kind of bricked my Macbook. I was in the Installation Assistant and went to disk utility to erase my mac or actually just for erasing and reinstalling macos sonoma. And when i pressed the button for „Erase Mac“ the screen turned black and nothing ever happened since then. After that I tried to restart the macbook and again going to the boot options menu, but the apple logo just shows up then comes “loading boot options” but after that it just stays black. Also i‘ve created on another mac a usb drive with macos sonoma and i cant even boot from that it will just go black after the apple logo and nothing. So at this point i dont know what else to do. The mac worked fine before…

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Revive or restore a Mac with Apple silicon using Apple Configurator - Apple Support


"In very rare circumstances, such as a power failure during a macOS update or upgrade, a Mac may become unresponsive and so the firmware must be revived or restored."


Yours may be one of those very rare circumstances.
