Flash the stock recovery.img and check if you can boot to stock recovery

You mean i flash unsigned recovery to the device that has a custom vbmeta?
Can it make the phone not boot to the system? The only way to get to fastboot is through the system because there's no recovery and i can only flash custom vbmeta and recovery through fastbootd and i dont have it now

If you sign the stock recovery with a different key than the manufacturer, you must also replace it in vbmeta.

If you used the same key as for boot.img, change recovery_key.bin to boot_key.bin in the command.
