Hello anonymous citizen!

In an attempt that didn't work to install a GSI, during fastboot I removed the recovery.img and vbmeta.img and gave fastboot reboot fastboot to acess fastbootd and I can no longer do any action on the device, being pressed the (+) and (-) and power buttons, but it remains in an infinite loop on the loading screen.

How to fix?
 
Thats a Xiaomi Redmi 9 (lancelot) , I would install a gsi because it does not have a lineage OS for my device model, the root is not enabled
thge probvlem with gsi is that it is just a generic os. your need more for your specific phone. each phone is different, gsi from what i understand is just a starting point. you will need to flash a firmware update for your specific phone. not sure how thats done on a xiaomi phone though,

I don't know much about or use xiaomi devices.. BUT with Motorola's.. you can hold pwr and vol down while booting to get into fastboot (you already know this) but then use volume buttons to select recovery.. then it'll boot and say something like "no command". From there you can hold power & hit volume UP. That'll usually boot to fastbootd..

Head over to the android with the triangle, you know already how to do FDR right? Here is what ocnbrz stated a bit ago:
