I believe I damaged the ROM in my phone.

I mention the phone has the bootloader unlocked and is rooted.
The firmware was ALE-L21C432B183

I had a error "Error retrieving information from server RH-01", so I decided to remove my account, but after that I wasn't able to add it back (I had just removed google+ apk before that, i believe it was a bad move).
So, not knowing what I should do, I decided for a factory reset.
After restart, first screen is with language selection, then is Terms and Conditions and after that I have a completely white screen and it won't move from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

EDIT
I tried to flash this ROM: http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/11/huawei-p8-lite-ale-l21-stock-b170-lollipop-firmware/ but I get "Software install failed!"

EDIT2
I noticed that I can get a screenshot by pressing Vol_down + Power, which allows me to Edit the image afterwards. Unfortunately it was saved in internal storage. This makes me believe the Android is functional, but I only have issues going past the (google account?) screen.

!! EDIT3 !!
I managed to make Android partly functional by not choosing a WiFi connection when Android first started AND skipping any google account creation (because it didn't asked if no internet was available).
The problem seems more accurate now as any google-account related service won't work: I can't add a google account, can't start Google Play, can't add an account in Chrome, etc. Basically anything that has to do with google account is compromised.
