Stuck in Internet Recovery Mode

I seem to have bricked my intel-based iMac Pro 2017. I tried to reset using internet recovery and now it's stuck in that mode and i can't get out of it. The spinning globe comes up asking for Network access via wi-fi. I choose that and it goes into a progress bar that keeps failing after about an hour. Now nothing works. I can't boot up in any other mode other than internet recovery mode asking for wi-fi. Can't boot up pressing command R, command option R, shift command option R, command option, command T command anything! Once i power off and on, it goes straight into the Wi-Fi access dialogue with the spinning globe which i guess is internet recovery mode. it won't even detect the ethernet wheni plug it in, can't boot off a bootable drive. I power off and 15 seconds later, it powers on automatically to the wi-fi-access dialogue of internet recovery. I am stumped af. anyone else experiened this and was able to solve? Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.

iMac Pro, macOS 13.6
