Please help! Bootloop. Can't get into recovery.

[Fr8x]

My wife, unfamiliar with rooting, agreed to update my rooted Moto C Plus when it requested an update. Needless to say, that didn't turn out well. It started booting to TWRP.

I tried finding a solution online. That led me to... https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325 where it gives the following method as a solution:

TWRP Method:

1- Go into TWRP -> Go to Advanced -> Go to Terminal:
Enter

2- Please make a backup first of these files in SD card:

cp /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/mota /sdcard/mota2
cp /dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc /sdcard/misc2

3- Type this exactly:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/mota

HIT ENTER

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

HIT ENTER

4- Restart the phone.

On my phone, there is no "soc.0" in the platform folder, instead there is "mtk-msdc.0". I tried searching online for a similar solution with the folder "mtk-msdc.0", but i couldn't find any...except for this chinese page. Desperate (not knowing which file to go with), i tried "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name/boot". That executed something. But later, when i restarted the phone, it stopped booting to TWRP. Instead, it is now just showing this logo (Moto) screen (the one that shows first when you turn on the phone, before the TWRP) for about 30 secs or so, and then the phone restarts back to the same screen...restart... screen...and so on. Basically a bootloop, i believe its called.

What do i do now? The fix i was looking for is one where i don't lose my files. Everything is on the internal memory. No SD card. I want to be able to get my phone to start working again without losing my files. If i could get it to start working again with everything just the way it was before this problem, i would be super grateful.

Please help!
