You say "without using a georeferenced file" but then use the WKTfile. Why not use that at the CLI?

grass70 -e -c WKTfile newLocation
grass70 ./newLocation/PERMANENT

I do it in two lines and use -e on the first so that if I run this again, and the location exists, it will still launch GRASS. If you just do the first line w/o -e, GRASS won't start if the location exists.

A MWE would help debugging. 

  -k.
