Hi,

First call the support
Also add some information :
what did you delete ... the DOM (containing grub and boot image) or the ADM partition / volume ??
if you delete the DOM ... did you erase all or just the boot partition (in this case a backup of the previous boot image, initramfs and grub can be activated)

Depend of the case, different action must be done, but if you have a spare disk, unplug actual disk (take care of the position) and try to boot with an empty disk
Also if it's DOM, you can try to boot using a live Linux (Ubuntu + raid + btrfs) and try to recover the DOM

BUT first we have to know exactly what you have do ...

I deleted the DOM Partition, which is located on a 8 GB emmc in the NAS. I also tried using various Partition tools Like Partner Magic to restore the boot Partition, but failed to do this.

Ask the support ... they send you a copy of the DOM, then using a live linux on USB ... restore the image (dd for a full disk image)
reboot and reinstall ADM (some time the bzimage, initramfs and eufi drivers are not at the last version.

I don't have an image of a DOM for AS6302T ... just one, in case of, copy of my own AS5002T ... before support, perhaps somebody can have one ... I don't know.

For A.D.M. I don't know ... but I think it's not easy ... because A.D.M. is for a part in a specific volume and use lot of link to modifiable files ...
Remember that DOM contains only boot (kernel and initramfs) ... so after if an A.D.M. version is present on a compatible (formated) disk ... the system will start BUT to be sure to don't create incompatibilities ... best is to reinstall the ADM firmware version using manual update ... so if kernel or initramfs need to be updated ... they will be.

Just for information how did you erase the DOM ?
