Help [Moto E Condor] LineageOS not booting after TWRP flashing

PHONE MODEL: Motorola Moto E 2014 Condor XT1021, with the bootloader unlocked.

Hello. I'm not kinda sure if this is the correct place to post this, so I apologize if that's the case.

Well, this is what's happening to me: first I tried to install an alternative ROM (I was using Lollipop 5.1 stock before that), it was the Slim 7 one. It never booted, so I did the following thing:

  1. Downloaded TWRP.img from official webpage (the latest version).
  2. Downloaded LineageOS from official webpage (14.1 version) for Moto E 2014.
  3. Booted my phone in fastboot mode.
  4. Installed the TWRP image ("fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"). It was successful, without giving me any errors (the fastboot program was downloaded through XDA forum post).
  5. Booted in recovery (TWRP menu).
  6. Wiped everything (advanced wipe -> select all).
  7. Copied the LineageOS, SuperSU and Gapps (nano) .zip files to SD Card.
  8. Flashed everything (Lineage+SuperSU+Gapps, in that order). It gave me no errors.
  9. Restarted it.
So, now my phone is stuck at boot animation (that tiny blue circle moving from one side to another) after aprox. 40 minutes of 'booting'.

Details of the software I'm using:

LineageOS: "lineage-14.1-20170925-nightly-condor-signed.zip"

Gapps: "open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20171001.zip"

SuperSU: "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip"

¿Can the community give me any useful information to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks really much, in advance.

Best regards, viciecal.

EDIT 1: I'm trying to flash the SU Lineage addon (this: https://download.lineageos.org/extras) instead of SuperSU. I'll keep you guys updated.

EDIT 2: The flashing process itself was successful (Wiped all+Flashed everything again, including the SU Lineage addon), without errors. I wiped Cache/Dalvik after that. Rebooted phone, waiting for it to boot.

EDIT 3: Didn't work (40 minutes booting). Flashed "twrp-3.1.1-0-condor.img" again with fastboot. I'm trying to flash only Lineage 14.1 and see if it works. Keeping updated.
 
Hello there!
Seems like you are doing everything correctly. :eek:
I noticed that at the download link page, there is a sha256 or sha1 posted. Are you comparing your downloaded zip file to see if it matches the sha?

I'm more familiar with md5 verification vs sha, but I'm sure it's similar. Not sure what program to use to check that code to see if your downloaded zip file matches what is posted at the download link.
Edit: briefly searched for a utility to do such a thing:

I'm just wondering if your downloaded file is corrupt for some reason?
 
You need to make sure you are flashing the Systemless SU zip. Or alternatively you can try Magisk. Android 7 and above won't allow changes to the system partition.
Should work if you only flash the ROM itself though.
 
Flash a build from a earlier date. As far as the wipes everything seems fine. I check if the file is okay by comparing the file size to what downloaded.

Oh and the Lineage OS addon is correct.

Thanks for your response! I fixed it by just installing CarbonROM.
