Help restoring and upgrading my device.



I hate being this kind of person who registers on a forum just to have some ( possibly incredibly stupid ) problems solved. But here i go.

Since i've heard that there's a lollipop update for Android ( literally 2 days ago ), i decided to start an upgrade. Sadly, it seems like somehow when i installed Se7en ROM, i ****ed something up. After looking around i did manage to find a proper copy of TWRP 2.8.1.0 that i could use for recovery, and after fighting a half brick i had following some of the comments left over here i have gotten back to "normal operation"

The device boots normaly but it seems like it won't do anything on Recovery. The bootloader states it's from version 133 so i am trying to install that as i am writting this. With that said, i see a lot of confusion going on on how to update, and the few threads i find with boot and recovery images, seem to be either dead or get my phone stuck on a bootloop. the custom recovery seems to work but it is not doing any IO operations, apparently. If this is relevant, it seems like the caché partition has been broken somehow. something that would easily be fixed, if it weren't because of the fact it isn't writting or reading.

Is there a way i can safely go to stock from where i am? ( i got an unlocked bootloader, so there is that ), and from there on, how do i safely upgrade to a more modern build? All the mirrors for TWRP2870 seem to crash, returning my phone back to the bootloader. And apparently that is mandatory for an upgrade later on.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge on this.
