Any Help Please: Unbrick my Moto E XT1021 - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I am trying to unbrick my Moto E XT1021 but so far nothing work. Here are the infos:
Status: Device is unlocked (Status Code: 3), rooted, and CWM Recovery (v6.0.4.9) is installed.
Initially, I installed Kitkat Rom from this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7S5WmlPgrI, but after finishing, OTA showed me an update to 5.0.2, which I did. Everything work fine for about a month until last week where my phone just stop working.
Problem: Device is stuck on the Motorola Logo, bootloader loop.
Tested Solutions so far:
1- I tried to restore the stock firmware from the bootloader mode, but I always failed. I am applying the procedure given in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759495
but it always failed. The method is working and the phone's screen some instructions are appearing, but between them, I notice in red/pink color that the phone is saying:
....
hab check failed for boot
......
hab chck failed for recovery
2- I also tried to install zip from sdcard from the CWM Recovery, or even to simply wipe cache, .... but strangely I am getting error on CWM as following:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open/cache/recovery/last_install
and when I tried to install zip from sideload, I am also getting an error:
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
So.....basically, I do not know what to do or try more. Any idea. Please Help ?!!!
Thanks

I tried again using this time twrp-2.7.1.0-condor.img, but still I am getting on the phone's screen the same message:
"Mismatched partition size (recovery)",
and on the adb (CMD) window, I am getting:
<bootloader> Failed to erase partition
<bootloader> Failed to flash partition recovery
Failed <remote failure>
Any ideas ?!!!. Please Help !!!

Try ro use twrp 2.5.8 or above instead and write the following command in cmd
Fastboot boot recovery.img
In this way you're not owerwriting the recovery and if it boots up fine then install the stock firmware
Peace✌
Hit thanks pls

I had nothing to do so I searched for the files, specially the photon_pudding.rar . Most of the links were dead but fortunately I found one that still alive. The site is the following: http://forum.motofan.ru/?showtopic=1731307
I attached some of the files to this post.
Thank you Reiki21
Thanks a lot.
I was about to loose hope on this.
Can you please guide me on how to unlock bootloader.
Do i keep them in ZIP format or will have to use RAR format.

Did you flash cwm recovery? If not then you can download it from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-sunfire.img
To flash it go into fastboot mode and use the following comand:
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-sunfire.img
unlock failed
I tried to unlock again , this time it ran for 98% and failed , but still when i boot it shows unlocked
I wouldn't use RSD after unlocking my phone, if the process of RSD flashing is interrupted (The usb cable got disconected, a black out, etc) the phone would most likely hard brick. You said it flashed until 98%, can you still access the menu by pressing power and vol -?
yes
yes can access menu can you still access the menu by pressing power and vol
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-sunfire.img this img doesnot run in demon tool
Can you msg ur num to [email protected] , ill msg u on watsup all pics step by step

Sadly I don't have whatsup, anyways I think you just need to flash the custom recovery to be able to flash cm10. If you downloaded moto-fastboot from my attachments, unzip it on the root of you hard disk (C:\). After that copy the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-sunfire.img inside moto-fastboot-win32 folder (C:\moto-fastboot-win32) See the attachment
Put your phone into fastboot mode by pressing the power button and vol -, when you see fastboot below the word unlocked press vol +
Open CMD and type:
cd \moto-fastboot-win32
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-sunfire.img
moto-fastboot reboot
After that you should have a new recovery menu.
done
On doing this i got the following message::
flashing partition recovery
flashing mbr to device
flashing stormgr partition : sos
what would be the next step
After that reboot your phone using moto-fastboot reboot. Now enter the recovery menu and try to flash your rom.
unable to restart

now the only way to restart is by removing battery .as nothing happens on power button nor volume keys
after that trying to install cyo10 says error in \sdcard\cm-....
(status 0)
CM 10
Can you please upload any working CM 10 \ 9 .
Might be the rom im trying to install is corrupt
Which CM10 version are you trying to install? Can you provide me the link to the thread?
cm-10.1.3-xt897
cm-10.1.3-xt897
this is the one im trying , not sure where i found it .
think this is the one
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=xt897
I see what's wrong that CM10 rom is for another phone, the Photon Q. This phone is the Photon 4G (MB855) which I know would confuse anyone >.< You just need to find the right CM10 for your phone and install it. I'll try to find some links and provide them to you if you can't find any.

If this did not work and you still in the motorola logo, then we are missing something

[Q] [HELP] please please help me

Hi guys.
I am trying to root my father's HTC desire 601 the whole day. After unlocking bootloader I had this problem :
E: Can`t mount /cashe/recovery/command
E: Can`t mount /cashe/recovery/log
E: Can`t open /cashe/recovery/log
E: Can`t mount /cashe/recovery/last_log
E: Can`t open /cashe/recovery/log
E: Can`t mount /cashe/recovery/last _install
E: Can`t open /cashe/recovery/last_install
I was looking for some advices here and when I was (I think) really close I do some missclicks and it happened something wrong (I think that I somehow delete stock rom and recovery if it is possible).
My current situation is:
unlocked bootloader and no root, S-ON, hboot-2.22.0000
when I turn my phone on by standard way (or reboot or go to recovery) it automaticaly goes to bootloader after short blink of HTC logo, I can´t do factory reset or anything other action from menu (always stack in bootloader)
I have tried to lock bootloader (no response).
Do you anyone know if it is possible to get my father´s phone to stock or any function condition, please? I am absolutely helpless. Thank you very much.
Best regards
Richard

Problem solved i will go to next step.
stuck on stock boot screen
This worked on my Htc desire 601 after my phone only booted into white screen stock recovery screen. (it would keep rebooting to fastboot screen only, not twrp screen.) using ADB/FASTBOOT TOOLS i had to use command prompt from TOOLS folder to make it work, or else i kept getting errors, could not load file etc. I also put recovery .img in every folder i was using the command prompt until i got it working.
Good luck!
p.s. i had issues until i formated then full wipe install from twrp screen.

Stuck at CWM recovery, cannot browse menu.

Alright.
I have a Cambridge Sciences Star PAD 3g.
I tried to root my phone and install cwm via playstore app.
Now it switches on and goes straight to the cwm recover 5.5.0.4 but the only option selectable in the menu it's the reboot system now. When I click on the volume up or down in order to browse , the tablet just reboots.
On the bottom of the screen it appears:
CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/last_log
I cannot access the android OS nor can I put the phone in download mode.
Please help me, I am desperate.

Thanks for the reply.
I cannot boot into the os anymore, how am I going to give you the kernel source, boot.img and recovery.img?
I tried to recover it with Heimdall, I installed the driver on the pc and the pc recognized it as A10 but when I click on the check device it gives me an error and says that it did not recognize any device in download mode (when I connect it to the pc, the tablet screen is in cwm recovery mode , the only one accessible).
Download the firmware from the official website of your manufacturer

Either reinstall the firmware via adb sideload, or if you want to root again, downgrade to 4.5.3 using the adb sideload and then follow one of the tutorials to root and install another lollipop Rom.
I have tried to run:
adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3.bin
but got:
E:failed to mount /cache
E:failed to set up expected mounts for install; aborting
