Bricked P10Lite does not boot Variant

Hi,

I have a P10Lite with Warsaw-L03T_C654B192 that was bricked by trying to update to Warsaw-L03T_C654B198 from different carrier. I tried this method and not get the boot and liquid animation and looks like it will start but then reboots and goes to erecovery and that is useless and it says there is no image on server. Is there any advice you can give?

    But the problem is where you wanna flash other devices ROM but your cust/oem/vendor is not the same as the ROM of other device. And this causes cust flash failed.
