A10 devices are unbrickable. There is a FEL "bootloader" mode used for
recovery that can always be accessed, usually by pressing a pinhole
reset-like button on the device. This way the device gets detected by
Livesuit, and you can flash the .img.

You can also use another tool, PhoenixTool, to create an SD card which
will, once inserted and the tablet turned on, flash the firmware to
the device.
