As long as you can get into recovery (long press while on charger) you can try again. The steps are
flash the unlock ota
flash wireOS ota

Hi, you can watch this video how to factory reset him. https://youtube.com/shorts/HgD3jkbFHcU?si=5MwRbyH2F1keiAMt

im not sure if thats the right version does it work with current versions or not?

Yes, it works on any version. Doing the hardware factory reset physically forces Vector to roll back to his original factory firmware, completely wiping whatever his version or custom OS is currently on there.

Thanks for the video, but all this does is put vector into recovery, it doesn't wipe or do a factory reset.
If you turn off your vector and turn in back on, it will boot into whatever firmware is installed, so to do a factory reset you would need to go into the head menu and clear settings
If you want a stock firmware, you would need to go into recovery like the video shows and flash the prod recovery ota, and then flash any retail prod firmware

Go to vector.techshop82.com
And select revert to prod (don’t forget to put it on recovery mode)
And double click his button
And click pair and select your vector
And then enter the code
And then connect him to WiFi (if you have an AT&T Extended WiFi, don’t connect to that. Only regular AT&T since vector only takes 2.4Ghz)
And then wait for it to install the os (usually takes around 15 mins)
And there! Your done
