Maybe that sparsechunk did not extract fully from the zip. Re-extract, or download the entire zip again.
First, thanks to your suggestion.

I just re-download the roms from the different websites

then use 7 zip to extract the both file and try again ,still get the same result as i say that on the topic.
BY the way ,thank you for your suggestion.

Try an 'external' factory reset via Stock Recovery:
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050​
thanks your suggestion

i just follow the guide of the website,but i get the problem in step 4, i can see the Android figure lying on his back,but my screen continue twinkling ,after i press and hold the Power button then press and release the Volume Up button, the phone come back to the fastboot screen.

Is that root the phone can get help?
More: I'm use the 16GB version xt1033 ,is that wrong gpt.bin in rom?

Keep trying, you should be able to enter recovery mode. The instructions are press and hold Vol up, then tap Power button - not what you describe.

After that ,i try several methods, and do some stupid things and relock the bootloader,

i can't flash any part of the roms now,is there any way to unlock the bootloader again?
(P.S. the status in fastboot mode still show up unlock)

New 5.1 Factory Firmware Images are now available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795

For now, the only XT1033 image you can use is: XT1033_FALCON_RETBR_DS_5.1_LPBS23.13-56-2_cid12 (you can change language to english during setup)

I would try flashing that firmware image via mfastboot. When the new XT1033 Asia firmware image becomes available, you can change to that if you want.
thanks for your reply, i had tried the rom you provided to me, it still get the same result,all the steps are showing the result "failure".

Can you tell me that have big chance to make my phone return normal ?
If not, that's the time for me to give up.

Show me the log from command prompt when flashing the firmware image.
