How can learn what firmware my phone came with if I can't access settings?

[fruitiehat]

My phone is stuck in the set up phase after a factory reset probably due to corruption. I cannot access the settings and therefore can't check the firmware version the phone came with even though I need to know this in order to flash the firmware?
Or do I? I'm getting so confused- I've read so much into the flashing process and some things make it sound like this is important to see the "build number" but others don't even mention this and say just make sure the firmware matches your phones model number!!

Can anyone help me out with this please?? 😩

I can see both sides of that but I don't know anything about flashing so let's ask @mustang7757 he mentions flashing often and will probably have some advice in this area.

If you go into recovery should indicate what bootloader u have

I've never been able to figure out how to go into recovery on this phone. Would you know how, per chance??

Turn the device off before restarting hold the power button and volume up

That doesn't work.... Anything else I could do to find out the firmware version?
