Download another version of mfastboot, or simply just fastboot, or try from scratch again!
I saw earlier your mfastboot folder has recovery.img, so cannot be a misplace error!
Still check again it is there! Otherwise, do what i wrote in first line!

TIP: if your moto e is currently rooted and you're using kitkat then I recommend you to install Lollipop on your phone.(it's awesome I tried it) follow this guide here: Here's How I Upgraded from Kitkat4.4 to Lollipop5.1 with working GravityBox (xposed)
"Many of moto E users, including me, is having the problem of getting stuck when flashing the recovery."

}
"So I decided to make a thread for explanation."
1. Bootloader must be unlocked. if not, Unlock the bootloader from here
(a). Download the CWM 6.0.4.9 recovery For MOTO E. this recovery is required temporary for flashing "SuperSU".
(b). So download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip
(c). Download the latest TWRP Recovery TWRP 2.7.2.0 V2.2. this will be your new default recovery.
STEPS:-
1. Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" into the phone's SD card (could be internal memory)
2. Boot into bootloader (switch off the phone -> hold volume down+power button for 6 seconds -> release the buttons and wait for 1 second)
3.Connect USB to phone in bootloader menu.
4.Copy "cwm 6.0.4.9_recovery.img" (downloaded from step a) and "moto_e_twrp2.7.2.0_v2.2.img" (downloaded from step c) to "adb folder" in desktop.
5. First, we have to flash CWM recovery so that we can flash SuperSU. Enter in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm6. 0.4.9_recovery
it will give an error like "mismatched partition size(recovery)" but it's normal
Now press the volume down once(move to recovery) then volume up(to select) and wait till shows this
wait some more and there you are in CWM recovery.
6. Choose "install from sdcard" and select "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.01.zip" downloaded in (b) step.
[*NOTE*
>>CWM recovery itself has a rooting menu item, it'll be displayed when you want to reboot. It'll ask if it should root the device - but it won't work.So You should go the SuperSU way.]
>>When you select a CWM reboot after applying SuperSU, CWM displayed "root access may have been lost - fix?". Please select "No", it'll work fine]
7.After installation of SuperSU you can reboot the device. Since now we have rooted the device by flashing SuperSU,we can install the TWRP Touch recovery. repeat 2. and 3. step
8. Enter in cmd:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery moto_e_twrp2.7.2.0_v2.2.img
it will give same error as in step 5 but that's normal. Now you have successfully installed the TWRP recovery.
To go into recovery you have to select volume up button (instead of power button like in most HTC phones).
Bonus:To remove the unlocked bootloader message you see everytime you boot your moto e follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52692225&postcount=2

Also, 2 recoveries are not needed to root. Either of those 2 is enough.

CWM link is down, Please make a mirror and better upload it at a host which does not put bandwidth or download cap!
Recommendations would be Google Drive, Dev-Host, Mega etc.
Also For the CWM, where did you find a working version for moto E?
I'd like to visit the source!

None of the ways are working after OTA update to 4.4.4
After updating my Moto E to 4.4.4 today, I tried to root it. I tried both the ways (with TWRP and with CWM) but not together.
The results are disappointing.
When I used the "only boot with recovery" option (fastboot boot recovery....img), I got a frozen white screen with the Moto logo in the center the instant I issued the fastboot command. Nothing else happened.
When I used the "flash recovery" option (fastboot flash recovery recovery....img) and tried to load the recovery I just flashed, I got a small graphic in the center with "No Command" written at the bottom. Nothing else happened.
I'm still trying, will update if situation improves...
Update: Finally CWM worked. I started from the beginning, followed the steps and I now have root.
Warning:
1. CWM recovery itself has a rooting menu item, displayed when you want to reboot. It asks if it should root the device - but doesn't work. You should go the SuperSU way.
2. When you select a CWM reboot after applying SuperSU, CWM displayed "root access may have been lost - fix?". I selected "No" and it worked fine.

** boot ** means you are just using the recovery untill next boot, so to install recovery permanently you have to flash with ** flash** method.you can choose to flash the cwm recovery too (instead of twrp) )after rooting the phone.

Stock recovery backup
Thanks for great and easy step by step procedure....
Can u add the steps for Nandroid backup... Thanks ....
You may be have got attracted to those new roms out there on the internet and would have probably bricked your device.Or maybe did some modding and in worst case somehow your phone bootlooped.
so please follow the guide for unbricking or solving bootloop issues:
CAUTION:
[1] FIRST OF ALL, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
[2] NEVER UNPLUG THE USB CABLE WHILE FLASHING IS IN PROGRESS.IT MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK UR DEVICE..
ONLY FOR ZENFONE 5,A501CG/00CG
download the required files:
[1] kitkat firmware: for zenfone5(a501cg/00cg only other zf5 users download appropriate firmware from asus support page): http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/A500CG/UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.44-user.zip
[2] adb/fastboot files: from here
[3] device drivers:if you do not have device drivers download and install pc link on pc from asus website,it will automatically install device drivers on your pc.(download from: http://liveupdate01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LiveUpdate/Release/ZenFone/APP/LinkRim/PCLinkSetup.exe)
IF U R BRICKED PROCEED FROM STEP 2 ELSE FOR BOOTLOOP START FROM STEP 1:
step 1] try booting into recovery and perform a factory rest and wipe cache if this solves the bootloop(in most cases it should).if it still bootloops then follow the following tutorial
step 2]extract the fastboot files on the desktop and paste the firmware(it will be in .zip)in the fastboot folder
step 3]after copying the firmware also extract and copy the recovery.img and fastboot.img file from the firmware into the fastboot folder. (don't remove original firmware zip)
now your fastbootfolder should contain fastboot files+recovery.img+fastboot.img+firmware you dowloaded(compressed in .zip)
step4]boot into the fastboot by switching off the phone and powering it on by power+vol up key until asus logo comes up
if u r returning from some other rom u need to relock the bootloader so scroll some below to see how to relockbootloader.
step5]once you booted to fastboot ,open command promt in fastboot folder (downloaded earlier) by pressing right click+shift in any blank space on folder screen and selecting open command promt here.
in cmd write:
step6]
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
step7] fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait until reboot is complete then write
step8]
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step9] now we will be erasing data and cache for a clean flashing
Code:
fastboot clear data
fastboot clear cache
both of them take time and screen may turn off to save power so don't panic
next use volume keys to navigate to recovery and select it using power key .once your phone boots up showing android with belly open symbol press and hold volume up+volume down until recovery menu appears.if that does not open recovery try this:
hold volume down button, click and release vol up button,,,then finally release vol down button.
i admit it brothers,,it is sometimes really difficult to boot into recovery...but keep trying,,it is a bit difficult but is fruitful
if it doesnt appears it may be due to unssucceful flashing, unplug usb cable,force switch off phone by holding power button for few seconds.now again boot in bootloader by power button and vol up key and repeat from :step[8]
once in recovery select apply update from adb
step10] write on cmd
Code:
adb sideload <downloaded firmware name>.zip
for convenience you can rename firmware to kk.zip or any thing you like so command will be adb sideload kk.zip(it may take 15 to 20 mins)
step 11]once thats done select wipe data and cache in recovery and at last select reboot from recovery menu(dont skip this else you may face freezing on welcome screen itself)
hopefully you will boot into homescreen and be patient first bootup may take upto 20 mins.
[UPDATE] HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER{only for zenfone 5 other device users pls google the procedure}
(USE THIS ONLY IF U R RETURNING FROM ANY CUSTOM ROM ITS NOT NEEDED FOR BOOTLOOPING PROBLEM)
hi guys i know u will be needing to relock the bootloader while returning to stock rom..
so what u have do is use the following steps before flashing fastboot.img that is before STEP [5] mentioned above
[1] download this file (its a zip file extract it using password zenfone-five.blogspot.com)...(link=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0o7qWuG7vvVRE9CV0hJWGRJS2c/view?usp=sharing)
[2]follow the on screen instructions
after the bootloader is locked carry on the steps from step[5]
PLEASE NOTE---THE UNLOCKING/LOCKING TOOL PROVIDED ABOVE IS NIETHER WRITTEN NOR OWNED BY ME...ALL CREDIT GOES TO ITS RESPECTIVE DEVELOPERS
this method can be used for:
1]unbricking
2]returning to stock rom
3]bootloop issues
IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT(maybe stuck on usb logo)--see this: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800 it is written by asus guys and will help you
thanks
if you face any issue please ask in comments...........

then try a guide on the forums by the name "de-brick with ruined partitions" i dont remember correctly but you'll find it easily
okay hello people.
here is my situation.
i was about to revert back to kitkat from ED300 CM12.1, and i suddenly wipe off and formatted my internal storage.
and now ofcourse i cant boot in and what i did was trying to reinstall TWRP through fastboot and minimal adb from PC.
*i tried to flash Lenovo_A6000_TWRP-3.0.2-0_x64-L_by_SevenMaxs
*i cant go into download mode (vol+,vol-,power) button.
so i went to fastboot mode (vol-,power) button until the 'powerkey long press can reboot phone' appear , and i plug in my phone to pc and when i type in command for -adb devices, no device appear.
figure out it was okay, i go ahead and proceed with - fastboot boot recovery.img command.
then it shows
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
and im stuck there. idk what else to do, which guide to follow to bring my phone back to life.
i have did hours of searching but nothing works. really need a magic here.
thanks guys for ur time

BTW if "fastboot devices" not showing any devices then try to properly install fastboot on computer."fastboot boot twrp.img" is command for boot the twrp without flashing.
try "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" .
p.s:-Try to flash different recovery file.It may be corrupted.

Here is the possibilities:-
1)May be fastboot is not properly installed .I gave a link in the previous post for that. "device not found" that shouldn't be appear.
2)Try vol+ +power button
3)Try if stock recovery can be flashed by fastboot.Link.if can be then let me know.
4)If not then run this command in adb
Code:
adb shell
ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name
and give a screen shot.
Did you flash kitkat ROM after this or before this fuss?
If Yes, then you need to flash TWRP for kitkat firmware.

I am facing the same problem of adb device not listed , please share how it worked for you
Hi guys today I will tell you that How you can install Twrp Recovery and root your Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon Version.
This method of installing Twrp Recovery also work on any Xiaomi Device. By Any Device i mean the Newer Xiaomi device that comes with a locked bootloader. You just have to replace the Twrp Recovery Image file with your device Recovery image file But i am using my Redmi Note 3 in this video to show you guys the tutorial.
And as I said locked bootloader that means that you have to first unlock your device bootloader to install Twrp on your device.
You can check you my video on it:-
http://goo.gl/gZWfvA
So Now after you have unlocked your phone bootloader let me tell you that how you can install the Twrp Recovery and root your Xiaomi device.
Steps:-
So first Download The 2 files Adb.zip and then extract it and Twrp Recovery for your device.
Then move the Recovery file to the adb folder and make sure that you have installed the adb drivers for your Android phone.
If you don't know how to install it You can check out my video:-
http://goo.gl/a6QgtH
Then download the supersu.zip and the lazyflasher.zip on your micro SD card And Then connect your device to PC via USB cable.
Then open the adb folder And Press and hold the shift button and right click together.
Then click on the CMD option to open CMD And then type The following commands
First type "adb devices" and enter to check that your device is detected.
Then type "adb reboot bootloader" to reboot your phone in fastboot mode.
You can also boot your phone manually in fastboot mode by powering off the device and press and hold the volume down and power button at the same time.
Then type "Fastboot flash recovery" and the name of the Twrp image.
Just type the first 2-3 words of your Twrp image file and press the tab button then it will automatically paste the name of the image file and then press enter to start flashing.
Now you have flashed the Twrp Recovery.
Then you can disconnect your phone and to go in the recovery Just press and hold the volume up and power button together to boot into recovery.
Then you will get this kind of a screen just cancel
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if you get this kind of a screen then just "Swipe to Allow Modifications"
And when you go to your internal storage it will not show you your device storage because the device is encrypted.
So to fix this you have to go to wipe and format the data of your device. This will erase everything on your phone not your micro SD card.
So backup everything first
And most of you get this error if you're running miui 8 marshmallow on your phone.
Now you can see your internal storage but now you have to flash the super su zip and the lazy flasher zip That you have placed on your micro SD card earlier.
So go to install and select the storage in which the files are saved and then install both of them.
First install the supersu.zip and then the lazyflasher.zip and Then wipe cache and reboot.
It will take some time at first boot.
Now the super su app will be installed on my phone.
Let's check with the root checker.
So that's how you can root your Redmi Note 3 Very easily and also other Xiaomi devices.
So hope you like it.
Check out my video about this topic:-

Lazy Flasher- https://goo.gl/AzC3JD
Super su- https://goo.gl/t23Zok
Adb zip- https://goo.gl/5GSNgj
Why you ppl mess up things ! It's ok for beginners but try to explain all kind of twrp we have for our device and fastboot format user data command properly

No no.. I mean there's this YouTube tutorials I just used yesterday and it took me only 5 mins tops to root my Redmi note 3 pro. Cuz they have a flash.bat file with all the necessary file in one zip file. Put your phone to fastboot and run the flash.bat and it's done. So no need to manually type all those adb commands.

Hi, I've followed this guide just to install the twrp so I din't flash the other packages. TWRP was installed succesfully but the system doesn't boot anymore. It keeps locked on the "mi mi.com" screen (without "android" on the bottom). What can I do now?

You have to flash the lazy flasher zip from Twrp recovery. I have given the link in the post and then I will boot.
And be patient it take me around real 15 mins to boot. Please always read the full guide

Does the rom link given here unzips perfectly?
Because i saw in another thread of Lenovo K8note titled firmware, users unable to unzip due to error in system img. Also downloading from baidu needs a user id. If its possible could you or anyone else reading this upload it in some other online storage drive. Im little bit worried about getting a worse situation while rooting. Even if it goes wrong i can use the stock firmware to make it back.

Yes, I think so. Anyhow there is no need to unlock oem again if you are flashing the rom via TWRP. Anyhow let someone confirm about it.
