Flashing NON-GPE stock problem

Hello there guys! I'll resume my history.
So this was me one month after buying the Motorola Moto G XT1032 8GB, unlocking the bootloader without any problems So I wasn't really into the device info and didn't know about a GPE. So I downloaded a folder with a couple of images and .bin files and excuted a .bat inside the folder that turned my Stock 4.4.4 into Stock 4.4.2 GPE. After first reboot I just installed Paranoid Android and didn't come back to stock since then (a few months back).
Now I tried to go back to stock NON-GPE flashing "Android 4.3 Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Latam.en.AR" and "Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.173.44.9.falcon_umts.Latam.en.AR" with this method GUIDE] Moto G - Restore stock firmware and I got this two errors in both of the cases:

You see? I got error with gtp.bin and motoboot.img but I kept flashing to see where that would take me. It turned out to take me witha bootloop Never going further than logo.
So what did I do? I ran that GPE 4.4.2 I flashed the first time I unlocked my bootloader. And it was alive again, booting like a charm. Now on crDroid again.
And my question is: what happened? Why am I able to flash a GPE 4.4.2 but not a Latam stock Retail for my country (Argentina)? I don't get it. I flashed from Windows and Ubuntu, with differents fastboot files, with mfasboot given in that Tutorial but nothing worked except turning it into a GPE Moto G.
Any contribution will be helpful, still want to go to stock Moto G. Cheers.

Do this at your own risk:
If your phone is a gsm xt1032 then grab a EU(european) 4.4.4 stock firmware and flash that via fastboot. Should work...
If not then try flashing a custom recovery like twrp or clockworkmod. Grab the EU or US 4.4.4 untouched from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 and flash it via recovery.

Acidentally deleted my OS on my Honor 8. FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)

Ok. Today after i updated my honor 8 to EMUI 5.0 my root was gone. I went and tried rooting my system again and when i was in TWRP i acidentally deleted EVERYTHING on the device (dont ask me how i can be so retarded). I then tried to find a solution on how to unbrick my Honor 8.
After downloading the stock firmware for Honor 8 and trying to flash it onto my device i ran into a problem. When i tried flashing cust.img, and system.img it just didnt work. Here are the results.

As you can see it says "FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)" when i try to flash system.img. Does anyone know how i can fix this or is my Honor 8 fully bricked and do i have to buy a new one now?
Also, my bootloader is unlocked.
Little searching wouldn't hurt. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-fix-boot-loop-bricked-honor-8-t3545202

Never seen a brick this hard to solve...

So I have an Honor 8 FRD-L04 that I was trying to root today. I flashed TWRP and all was good. Until I tried to install SuperSU using TWRP. It said my data partition wasn't able to be found or something, I can't remember. So I did some quick Googling and tried some fixes (changing the partition format to FAT and back to EXT4, etc). This just screwed it up even more. So here's the scenario:
*Can't access ADB anymore, doesn't show up in devices
*Can access fastboot, however:
I usually get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" when I try to do any commands (bootloader is unlocked). Because of this, I can't flash extracted .IMG files.
*eRecovery tells me "Getting Package Info Failed"
*Don't have access to TWRP anymore
*Have tried multiple firmwares using the dload method, either they can't install or simply do nothing
*I've tried Huawei Multi Tool and got the following output:

I've probably tried a few other things, but I'm just so frustrated I can't remember. If anyone can suggest anything else, I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is really bad. The solution to your first problem was to simply remove encryption by formatting data.

I'm going to cover the basis here, as I've seriously screwed over my phone before but recovered.
If you managed to get the phone responsive with the rollback package try flashing the EMUI 4 package.
If that doesn't work, plug into the computer and press and hold the power and volume down buttons to get into fastboot: unlock oem if possible
let me know if that gets you started.

GPlay Mini CHC-U01 soft bricked ?

Hey,
I could install Kitkat 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0: Cofface Custom Recovery, but could find any os what would install from zip. Getting error 7
today I tried to flash TWRP-3.0.2-r4 for the 4C. So I unlocked the bootloader flashed the new recovery img and then restarted and couldn't access the recovery menu. It freezes right at the Huawei logo.
Then I tried to flash the latest 4C android, so I extracted the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from the update.app.
Flashing was successful I guess?

Can some one of u see what's wrong and how to solve this problem? There is one FAILED line and maybe that's the Problem?
In my fastboot mode there I can read in red letters: PHONE Unlocked.
As I said, there is only one mode possible to enter, holding Volume up and then I get into Fastboot&Rescue Mode.
Unfortunately I've got almost zero flashing knowledge.
Pls help me.
