[SOLVED] GRUB crashes and reboots into BIOS, but I don't have a live

I've edited and generated a grub config, now GRUB briefly shows it's name on a gray background on top and reboots into BIOS. The problem is I don't have the USB drive with the live environment anymore, and I don't have another computer, just my phone and another USB, which doesn't seem to be bootable. Is there anyway I can fix this?

One possible solution is getting a OTG cable and making a bootable USB through my phone. But I don't have that cable.

Also I don't know anyone around me with a computer, except my friend but they will only arrive in a week.

I'll be grateful for any help.

I think you're out of luck at least as far as I know. Maybe ask your neighbours to use their computer for 10 minutes or go to a library or an internet cafe or sth if those still exist.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Turns out I had a working installation of Windows on there, so I booted into it and created another installation media from there. Thanks for help tho.

If you're curious why GRUB was crashing, I didn't reinstall it after updating the configuration.
