No menu, no remote... how to hard reset?

So i tried to record a tv show on tivimate and it crashed my Fire Stick. Since then, it kinda boots in loops:

- it tries to reach the menu, which very briefly appears a couple times, but i cant use it

- after a few loops, the "remote cant be found" screen appears, but I tried connecting 2 different firestick remotes and the phone app, it doest work

- the screen disappears, it tries to boot another couple times and a "critical memory" screen appears, asking that I delete apps. But since no remotes work i cant press OK.

- it boots another couple times and shuts down

I tried "disconnect/reconnect" (even left it disconnected all night), tried the "back+right" buttons hold, the "home+enter" buttons hold, even the "back+enter+menu" hold (to restart the remote), to no avail.

The USB keyboard + OTG cable method wont work cause i have a fire stick, not a fire tv (and this cable isnt available near me anyways).

Im out of solutions.... any ideas???
