Moto G (1st Gen) - XT1033 - Unable to flash recovery/ROM (unlocked bootloader)

Hi All,

I have Moto G 1st Gen (XT1033), India in bootloop.

I have unlocked bootloader successfully. I can access bootloader menu where I am able to run fastboot/mfastboot commands from PC,

1. Flashing customer & stock recovery,

-twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img
-recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon.img

Result: Does not give error but on rebooting the phone, stock recovery comes back with dead android with red exclamation mark

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (7878 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.312s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.140s]
finished. total time: 0.468s

2. flashing stock ROM
- XT1033_FALCON_ASIA_DS_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid7_CFC.xml.zip

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot

Result: Does not give error but on rebooting the phone, there is no change phone is in bootloop only...:(

2. flashing custom ROM after booting (unable to flash but can boot) with TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-falcon.img)
- Android6.0.1_NX_R10.3.3_MotoG2013.zip
- cm-13.0-20160617-NIGHTLY-falcon.zip
- cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-falcon.zip

phone is detect as MTP when booting with TWRP which allows me to copy custom ROM to phone from PC.
using TWRP, trying to install ROMs as listed above.

Result: it gets stuck forever in patching "patching system image unconditionally"

Can anyone suggest what could be wrong and how i can fix it?

Appreciate all the suggestion in advance.
