Motorola E3 (2016) - Soft Brick

[AresS31]

Hello all,

I tried to root my phone using the twrp-3.0.2-0-taido.img recovery.

I was using the following commands:

PS C:\Users\username> fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\username\Downloads\twrp.img
PS C:\Users\username> fastboot reboot bootloader
Or
PS C:\Users\username> fastboot reboot-bootloader

N.B. My OEM was already unlocked.

However, everytime I tried to reboot from the fastboot I got this message:

PS C:\Users\username> fastboot reboot bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...
FAILED (remote: not support on security)

Also, I could not just reboot from the power or volume button so I removed the battery. And when going to the recovery got nothing just normal boot multiple times.

So I tried this commad, as I was in a rush to root the phone for my work:

PS C:\Users\username> fastboot.exe boot C:\Users\ares\Downloads\twrp.img

I reckon that the above command could be responsible of the mess. Now, I am stucked at the Moto boot image screen (loop).

If anyone could help me it would be a life saver.

P.S: I do not have access to the recovery and I am unable to flash a new one.

EDIT: I finally installed the TWRP recovery properly, the issue was that I tried to install the wrong recovery. Now, I just need to fix the boot partition messed up by the command:

I guess that I now need to find the proper boot.img for Motorola Moto E3 Power XT1700 (my model) and boot on it, right?

Any idea?

Thanks

Try to restore nandroid backup from this post

BTW, Moto E3 Power is XT1706. XT1700 is the 'normal' Moto E3.
