So, I decided to format my Phone to Factory Settings a few days ago.

 

After the format was over, the device booted to a Setup Wizard Screen. I followed all the Steps when I encountered this issue:

I had to unbind my current account (it's a Chinese phone from a brand called "LeEco" and they have this service that backs up pictures and other stuff) that I created using a friend's phone number because the service wasn't supported in my country but only in China, India, US and other countries.

Now, the password is lost so I thought I could reset it, but it wouldn't let me do it from my phone unless the Setup Wizard was completed, and I couldn't do that until I unbinded my account. I tried to reset it from their website but it's broken (US Website, Chinese website, account system just doesn't work) .

I managed to Glitch out of the setup by clicking "Options>About>Website" on their Chinese keyboard app, which gave me access to the WebBrowser where I downloaded a Launcher from Aptoide. (Functions like Task Manager, Home Button and notifications don't work though, which is very annoying, and I can not enable developer options by clicking the Build Number like I used to) but I could access to the Account Recovery.

So I contacted my friend who told me that he dropped that phone number and no longer has access to it, so he wouldn't be able to receive the recovery message.

I tried to boot the device in Recovery mode, but I found myself in a custom Recovery Menu with the following options: "Format, Update, Cancel, Reboot.) Now, Update functions doesn't work even if I load one of their ROMs, and other options are pretty useless.

I really don't know how to gain access to my phone now, I see no way out of this. I emailed their support but in 3 days got no answer, and their contact form on the website won't work.

Is there any other way to flash a ROM (Device is not rooted). If not, another way to enable developer options so I can enable USB debugging or anything? I'm stuck.

 

This is the worst situation I've been in after that time I tried to format a Tablet that was in a BootLoop and did not have volume keys to move in the recovery menu.
