getting flash write while i use the fastboot using command prompt, and nexus tool kit is allowing only the 3.0.3 version only to flash the recovery,

You posted the same error with TWRP 3.0.3 so how can you say that Nexus toolkit is allowing you to flash 3.0.3??????

It appears that the /recovery partition is still write protected. If has always been write protected (e.g. because bootloader is still locked) then the original stock recovery must still be in place.

So, when you hold the required buttons at power on, what menu do you get???? If you select "recovery" from that menu and briefly press the power button to boot inot recovery what happens then?

When was this phone last working? What did you do to get to this point?

BTW - Perhaps I/we should agree to move this thread to the Android forum here where other Android experts may see it. This isn't strictly a Linux question.

bootloader is unlocked, and i am also surprised as why i am not able to flash manually and nexus tool kit is able to.

when i hold the buttons i am landing on fastboot screen.

this phone last worked well in jan 17 i think, after that i tried many ways but failed on the mount error, upon debugging using may android forums i found mount and this super block error while mounting them manually via terminal, so thought to see what caused this mount issue and super block issue, so that it should be easy to fix ,

just fyi i tried file system check, deleted and recreated the /system , /boot, /cache mount points and tried.
i think some issue with super block / mount error, if that is fixed, i think i can boot the Stock rom.

at the moment there is no OS on the phone,

Can you describe what the fastboot screen looks like (or post a screenshot). Usually, using Nexus Toolkit is NOT recommended and all things are better done manually.
