Hi, I have a moto c plus moto c plus xt1726.
His USB port is damaged and doesn't work, but I was still able to install roms through TWRP.

The problem: Yesterday I tried
Install a Custom Rom through TWRP, but something went wrong.
The smartphone doesn't leave the blue logo anymore:

Then I accessed the recovery mode (Volume+ and Power). The installed rom seems to have modified the recovery interface, and now it looks like this:

The problem is I can't reinstall the rom.
I accessed "Apply Uptade", selected the sd card, then the rom(zip), but I get the error message:

I can't recover the moto c plus because the usb port doesn't work, and I also don't have access to android anymore, and consequently I don't have the TWRP anymore.
Is there anything I can do yet?
Any way to install TWRP and recover the phone in this case?
 
go into recovery and and do a factory reset. then install twrp and make a nandroid back up.

what did you wipe before flashing the rom? what rom did you flash? do you have a link for it?
Hi,
I did the factory reset, but nothing happened.
I can't install the TWRP pos, as I mentioned in the post, I don't have access to android (it gets stuck on the blue screen with the motorola logo), and the usb port is broken and doesn't work.

Looks like you possibly flashed an incorrect custom ROM for this particular Moto phone. If it can be restored(unbricked) or not, no idea, as I don't know much about Moto phones.

As for the disappearing red Motorola logo, custom ROMs like Lineage, don't generally include device manufacturer logos in them.
Hi,
Yes, I also suspect that I installed the wrong rom, but now I can't reverse it.
The rom I tried to install even modified the recovery mode interface, as I showed in the image above.
The worst thing is that I can't connect the usb cable because the usb port of my smartphone is broken. I also don't have how to install twrp because the android doesn't start (it gets stuck in the blue logo, as shown in the image)
Any solution?

So you've flashed a mismatched ROM, preventing it from being able to boot up into Android itself; the TWRP Recovery/Fast Boot is apparently corrupted and also needs to be re-flashed; and apparently the USB port is problematic so you cannot even access your phone using ADB on a PC.
At this point your phone is pretty much soft-bricked. iven the street value of a Moto C Plus the phone itself pretty minimal considering its condition, and since you've already done a Factory Reset it's not a matter of needing to recover previously saved data off of it, it might be time to just consider this a learning experience (always be sure to flash only the correct, matching, corresponding ROM) and just move on. This wasn't your daily usage phone I hope, was it just a spare, secondary phone you were experimenting with?
