Trying the S-OFF method but can't seem to get it to work. Downloaded the file and tried clicking it to execute it but nothing happens. I see tutorials for Windows, but what about Linux? Can someone please help?

Um, your fastboot command shows you are trying to flash twrp recovery. That is not S-OFF. You have to get S-OFF first.
go to this website and download the linux one. get s-off and then flash twrp through fastboot

I've got the same issue today.
I can only enter fastboot mode.
while I flash the image like this:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob
and then fastboot devices id was replaced by ????????(any fastboot flash action will make this result)
I suppose we have to flash all through a basement package, but I can't find it any where.
I will post my result here if there is any new information .
I can't format my device I enter recovery --> advanced wipe check all things and when he comes to wiping data he restart. Is memory dead ? I still have warranty, but custom recovery is on it, and custom ROM, what to do ?
EDIT:
I tried to wipe one by one(internal storage, system, cache, dalvik, and last data) and he only restarts on data when data is trying to be wiped.

Read up I already try that, can't use fastboot erase system or data, only erase cache works. I was at TWRP trying to wipe all but can't when trying to wipe data phone restarts. I successfully erase internal storage, system, cache and dalvik in TWRP.

FIXED:
By Installing cwm recovery, and in cwm he manage to wipe all, and I return to TWRP and did the same thing there, now it's all working again, something was messed up, don't know exactly what, but it's gone now.
Need some help please with something that has gone wrong with my first attempt to alter Android. I wanted to install a custom recovery, root the phone and take it from there.
I have a Moto e 1st edition, xt1021, system info given below.
I unlocked the boot loader, installed Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3, downloaded the latest TWRP image 3.3.1.-condor for the Moto e from the TWRP website.
I used flashboot flash recovery initially to install the TWRP image, which failed, but has wiped the stock recovery. I cannot boot into recovery or do a factory reset.
The phone will boot normally. If I try a factory reset, it boots normally. If I boot into recovery, I get the Android image on his back with a red triangle, and “no command”. If I go into system recovery from here, and try both 'update by adb sideload' or 'update from sd card', both fail.
I have tried flashboot boot recovery using a stock recovery, but the phone is stuck on the initial Moto logo.
I have also tried to install an earlier TWRP recovery, 2.7.1-condor and CWM 6.o.4.7 falcon but this has failed to install also.
I have now reached the limit of my abilities – any help much appreciated, but please spell out in words of one syllable if possible.

SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.

You need to update your adb/fastboot. Download the latest platform tools from the link above.
That seems a bit odd since I just downloaded it 2 days ago from Google! Could have got an old link but I doubt it...
Didn't work unfortunately!
I downloaded the zip file from the link, unzipped with 7zip and got "platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows". Within there is a folder named Platform Tools.. I held shift and right clicked on the white space in that folder and opened a powershell.. Ran this:
PS C:\Users\CSW\Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools> fastboot devices
ZY227FVPN4 fastboot
PS C:\Users\CSW\Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools> fastboot reboot fastboot
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
And received the same help menu and no change on my phone.. Same result.
Listen.....reboot to recovery. It's an empty barren wasteland, until: hold the power key down for a 3 second count, now, continuing to hold the power key down, hold the volume up key down for a 2 count: 1, and 2, and...release.
On the new menu enter fastboot - this is fastbootd.

hold power an hit vol-up once then release
The trick for our SOFIA is to execute the ADB command while the phone is POWERED ON (System booted up like normal - like when use the phone, make calls, etc) and NOT in fastboot/bootloader mode:
Enable USB Debugging in developer options on phone
Connect USB cable
Answer confirmation/security prompts on phone and PC
Type "adb reboot fastboot" at ADB CLI
FASTBOOTD will now appear in red letters at the top - you are in FASTBOOTD mode
Hope this helps!
