Soft-bricked – TWRP Unable to mount /data

I’ve been doing the custom ROM game for 13 years and somehow tonight I’ve managed to brick my phone for the first time ever.

Here’s the breakdown.
Started with my S-OFF, SuperCID M8 Unlocked WWE which was running the Skydragon 6.0 GPE ROM with associated firmware.
I decided I wanted to try the latest 6.0 Sense rom, so downloaded the 6.0 Firmware zip and Maximus 12 ROM.

From a bit of reading I saw that to get my Sense partition back and be able to install the relevant ROM to go with it, I’d need to flash the Sense firmware, which I did, and that seemed to go OK.
I rebooted into TWRP and went to do a wipe, and was greeted with the following error:
"could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"
Followed by lots of
"Unable to mount /data" error messages.

If I leave the phone to boot, it asks me for my password and says that the data is no longer there and I need to reset, but I’m hesitant to do that as I expect I would be left completely shafted then.

I tried reflashing the GPE Firmware but it looks like the damage has been done.
Desperately need some help in getting myself back to working. Any ideas please?
