Unfortunately unless you previously downloaded the older Apple Configurator 2 v2.16 version, there isn't anything you can do but get access to another Mac running macOS 14.x Sonoma.


I guess you could go to an Apple Store to use one of their display computers to do the firmware Revive/Restore using this procedure which only requires using the Finder instead of Apple Configurator 2 app (you definitely do not want to use your AppleID on a store Mac since you would leave behind personal information regarding your AppleID):

Or have the Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (may cost) to perform the process for you.
