Tried restoring to Stock/Unrooted and now stuck in Bootloop - Please help

Ok I messed up pretty bad this time.
I used my Moto X Pure 2015 for a couple months. Unlocked bootloader, rooted it and used a couple diff ROMs. My father liked the phone, so wanted to give it to him after restoring it to stock, meaning unroot, lock bootloader, restore to factory ROM. But somewhere along the way I messed up and dont know how. I may have tried to flash 5.1.1 when my phone was already updated OTA to 6.0 but I am not sure.
Now I am stuck in a bootloop. The Moto Android logo comes up and it keeps looping there. I can enter bootloader but cannot enter recovery. It goes back to the loop when I attempt to go to recovery mode. I tried flashing (with the Flash-All.bat) packages lying out there, but my device isnt recognized. It says device not found. I cant even restart bootloader through the adb command. I type adb devices in cmd and it says ADB devices attached, but I dont see my device displayed. But Device Manager lists my phone as Motorola ADB Device.
I took a chance and sent it to Motorola......................... surprise surprise...../s , they refused to fix it coz of the unlocked bootloader(even with a fee).
So, now I cant flash anything, I cant go to recovery, nor can get the phone to boot up.
Have I lost the device completely? I dont have any nandroid backups either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I made some progress. I Uninstalled my device drivers, reinstalled from the Motorola website. I am able to flash things from fastboot.
I did the following for MM6.0
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Everything was successful.
Now I can boot into the OS.
But now my WIFI isnt working. I go to settings and try to turn it on, but it doesnt.
Can someone help me here>?

are you sure you flashed everything correctly?

I don't know directions or anything, but I can tell you from other posts on the moto x pure forum that your not the first to lose wifi after restoring stock. To my knowledge you need to down grade to the original factory Android version, not just 5.1 or whatever, it HAS to be the original Android version, AND original baseband and system version, then upgrade from there. Hour that helps a bit, but do some searching and I'm sure you will find what I mean.

Thanks for your reply guys. I eventually fixed it. I now am running the TruPure ROM and everything seems to be working fine.
Except the the MicroSD card that I had 'adopted' is now write protected. I am not finding any luck trying to salvage that. I dont care about my data on it, just want it to be usable. I read somewhere that the card, once adopted, will only work on that ROM that it was originally adopted on. I even tried flashing the other ROM (OrionOS) but no go. My phone doesnt recognize the card except in Recovery. Computer recognizes it but I cant do anything since it is write protected. I tried DISKPART, the regedit fix and a bunch of other stuff. Didnt help. Its a brand new card, so I dont believe the card has gone faulty. Any idea on how to fix it?

Help! Moto E3 XT1700 stuck in bootloop after OEM unlock in fastboot..

So after booting into fastboot and using the general bootloader unlock method using the commands "fastboot oem unlock" my phone is just looping and looping. I've tried to find factory firmware images from Motorola but there is literally nothing for the E3 2016 (yet). This is a bloody nightmare as I bought the phone today and now it's unusable. I've tried flashing the TWRP version for this phone, but that also doesn't boot!
What do I do? Please help...

Use command fastboot format userdata ...

Already tried that, just wiped the whole partition clean. Unrecoverable. Just got a replacement handset. This phone is not developed upon enough yet.

help having same problem

thx solved myself with spflashtool

Follow the steps below exactly in this order:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot format userdata
* it is possible that you will have to change the file name to twrp.img
If that does not help - you have to upload stock firmware [ eg. Lenovo_XT1706_MT6735M_S135_161108 ] using SP Flash Tool.

Please don`t use the newest firmware! It`s not logical, but true
Use stock lastest firmware with unlocked bootloader:
XT1700 → S124
XT1706 → S135
...and now try fastboot oem unlock, flashing unlock, flash twrp & format userdata.
Regards.

Zenfone Selfie bootloop / unlock bootloader

Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help

[Q] Boot looping into TWRP, XT1768 Qualcomm, can boot via "factory mode"

Hello all! Been a member for years but haven't had to post anything for a very very long time. Having a very strange compound set of issues with an XT1768 Moto E4. I bought this phone about two years ago but only used it for a couple of months. I did unlock the bootloader and install TWRP back then but don't remember what else, not sure if it was a custom ROM or not.
It's sat in a drawer for over a year, and I decided to let my kid have it for Christmas. It booted up fine and had 80% battery, all my apps etc. Every thing worked. Then I did a factory reset. After doing the reset, the phone booted into TWRP and would only boot into TWRP after a couple more reboot attempts.
So I downloaded and installed the Stock Plus ROM from XDA, following the instructions to wipe system, data, dalvik and cache first. After flashing, the phone would still only reboot into TWRP. On a whim, I rebooted to bootloader, then selected "factory mode", which then booted normally. The phone worked fine for about a day, but would occasionally reboot on its own and boot into TWRP. Now, the phone does not want to charge,and will reboot into TWRP when disconnecting the USB cable.
I really just want to flash the phone back to 100% stock, factory image. No TWRP, locked bootloader. My kid doesn't need any of it, just a reliable stock phone. I've been googling and searching XDA but information I'm finding is very confusing since there seem to be several e4 models. This one is an unlocked, Qualcomm variant as far as I know. I can't find a 100% stock image to flash or clear instructions to restore back to 100% stock, locked.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is Stock Plus good for the XT1768? Is there a way to go back 100% stock with clear instructions? Or to fix the issues with charging and being stuck rebooting into TWRP? Do I need to flash "no verity", whatever that is? I have not done any rooting or unlocking or flashing of Android for quite a while and am a bit Rusty, but I know my way around TWRP and ADB, etc. Any help would be immensely appreciated!
