Moto X 2013 Won't Boot After Stock Flash and Stock Update

So here's the deal. I had a Moto X Dev Edition with TWRP recovery and the latest CyanogenMod ROM, working properly.

I returned to stock using a Motorola ROM and their instructions, did get a gpt_main error in the process, but since it worked for a certain Reddit user (goo.gl/2sEmjz -- can't post links yet!) I decided to continue. It booted fine into stock, but when I did system updates, it would reboot into TWRP. So I flashed the recovery.img file. After that, the phone booted, then rebooted, and went into a recovery "installing updates."

I walked away for a second, came back, and the screen was black. I can't "force it off," it doesn't appear to be running, and I can't get into fastboot. Is the phone bricked (which I'm leaning to), or is it still running and I just need the battery to run out, or is there some other way to revive this phone via USB?

Hoping there's some expert I can get advice from, and thanks in advance!
