Root Moto E (1st gen) failed root.

Hi All,
I, too, struggled at the point of getting my Moto E 1st gen (XT1021) to enter TWRP recovery. Everything looked fine from the adb command window, but, I suspect, on reboot in recovery mode, the stock recovery was overwriting the twrp.img recovery. After many, many, attempts, I found a dead simple solution: instead of naming the file twrp.img, I renamed it recovery.img . Success at first attempt!
Hope this helps someone,
GWH
