Help I can not longer use my phone after a ROM failure

So... I rooted my phone recently and tried to install a new custom ROM to get more performance. After trying to install a ROM made for a moto E4 and not a moto E4 plus (which is my current device) I bricked my phone.

Because of this, I decided to follow this guide to recover the full stock form of my phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4/how-to/moto-e4-guide-stock-firmware-restore-t3661684

I manage to complete the phase where I need to erase everything in step 3 and couldn't get to flash all the parts later.

I think that my biggest mistake was to reboot my phone after that because now I can't even get to the fastboot mode.

Does anyone know what should I do now? :(
 
@ bcrichster

but if he can't get to fastboot on phone, will your thread work?

Yes. It's an unbrick method in post #2. Ya end up booting the phone from an sdcard, then remove the sdacrd and flash the same FW via fastboot. I literally done it myself before and resurrected it.

Download Lenovo smart assistant. It has a rescue feature that will restore back to stock with about 4 mouse clicks
