Locked
S-on

whats available:
bootloader, recovery, download modes are available, phone is recognized via fastboot, but not much info there
fastboot getvar all

*can't flash twrp backup as i cant flash different recovery - s-on
*can't flash any ota update with working system.img - s-on
*can't flash RUU zip as there isn't one with my current version and can't downgrade - s-on

It looks like it got "killed" by trying to set back "unlocked" and "S-OFF" to "locked" and "S-ON". Your only hope is llabtoofer's RUU service because as you already found out there is no publicly available RUU for that phone. Direct links can be found in my sticky thread in the general section or in my google sheet.
