I'm a little confused about your second point. It sounds like you're trying to suggest a time traveling story with Cassie going back in time to reprogram Cyrax before Sindel killed most of the fighters. Please clear up this confusion. It's not confusion, remember we see Cyber-Sub-Zero pushing a lot keyboard buttons onto the Lin Kuei's cyber-ninja's heads and its quite possible that Smoke, Sonya, and Jax were doing the same thing before highly overpowered Sindel arrives.

It's possible that Cyrax was a bit close of being reprogrammed to his old self but never finished in time. There might be a chance that Cyrax can be "saved" as that little-bit of reprogramming might've done something to his neural memories. Once Cyrax begins fighting back against his original cyborg programming and his directive commands, instructions, and orders from Sektor.

I know it's my opinion and not an actual canon suggestion, during Cyrax fight against Cassie Cage (under orders from Sektor to have her killed), Cyrax goes out of control "mentally" and immediately shuts down entirely, briefly severing his connection with Sektor and the Lin Kuei/Tekunin, thus allowing Cassie to take the obsolete cyborg ninja back to HQ, allow Special Forces have a deep look a the deactivated Cyrax, and eventually fully reprograms the yellow cyborg, Cyrax eventually regains his organic human memories and becomes a free cyber-ninja no longer serving Lin Kuei but sires revenge on them for turning him into the mechanical monster he didn't want to become.
