I was about to give up and put my iPhone 5S on a shelf in hopes that someday a tool will be made that rectifies whatever happened (I would only ever restore to iOS 12 as a last resort), but then I remembered a few months back when I was looking for a way to set nonce on my 6S when downgrading to 14.3 with blobs, and I stumbled upon checkm8-nonce-setter. It wasn't supporting the 6S so I didn't really care to look further into this, but apparently it can set the nonce for futurerestore without a functioning jailbreak on the device. Of course this applies to my circumstance where I cannot even boot up my device, therefore no jailbreak. It also supports the iPhone 5S.
I was thinking futurerestore. The thing is I need a way to make sure the SEP and baseband remain intact, because iOS 12 SEP and baseband are definitely incompatible with iOS 8. One Discord user told me that futurerestore updates the SEP and baseband to the latest, and I should just wait for a tool to be released that has some way of restoring while maintaining SEP and baseband.
