Huge problems with recovery! Dont know what to do! Help! - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well.. I tried flashing the NEW CWM Recovery.. v3.0 and obviously... to flash the new one, i had to remove the old one. I removed the old one, flashed the new one via Terminal Emulator but here is the problem, i CANT DO ANYTHING WITH THE NEW RECOVERY! It wont let me wipe, install roms, or anything... i can navigate through the menu, but it will just give me a bunch of errors!
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:Unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:cant open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:no misc partition
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
Thats what i get if i try to do anything.... :,( whenever i select an option from the recovery menu... i get that same log of errorss.. can anyone tell me how to fix it..??

I believe that recovery was made only for gingerbread ROM's.. I'm so sure ha, I use a G2 now ha.. have you tried installing ROM manager and flashing the old recovery via it's menu? just stick with that recovery.
edit: by the way.. I have no idea how you can fix ur problem besides maybe trying to reflash it via terminal emu again and type the following with the recovery image file on the root of ur sd card
"su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/"name of recovery".img"
cheers, hope one of the things i suggested works.

well, im guessing u have fastboot working so either reflash recovery or run this command
fastboot wipe cache
it should fix that problem, also i would recommend going back to clockwork 2, if u dont have the file to flash it back (not the update.zip, the actual image) and need the link to the .img file pm me

Omg! Thank you! I rebooted into fastboot and ran the following commands
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery /path/recoveryCWM2.img
And flashed it... =D everything works now =D
I think its a bug because CWM 3.0 is only a test .img I flash 3 times.. and got the same errorss.. I'm just going to stick with 2.5 until a stable 3.0 comes out.. thank both of you very muxh =D

You can wipe cache in fastboot from your pc. Enter fastboot, plug in your phone, then wipe (or at least I can with Fastboot Commander, never tried Android Flasher, but should be the same).
@Pipusz:
You should write at least what the fastboot command for erasing cache is.
@OP:
When phone is in fastboot mode, connect phone over USB to computer. Open cmd in windows, navigate to android sdk folder (I assume you installed android sdk, if not, see my sig) and enter
Code:
fastboot devices
The output should show a long number (this is your phone's serial number). If it does, then fastboot sees your phone and you can enter
Code:
fastboot erase cache

[Q] E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log

In recovery i get this error message: E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
Also,
I tried to install a zip from the sdcard and i get this: E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Anyone have any ideas.
I am running WinVista Ultimate x64
tried different recovery?
I don't know any other recovery method.
err what? lol
go to my guide and look at flashing custom recovery. See if problem persists.
move recovery log to sd and manually flash zip.

How are these relevant?
Do you have a PVT4 Desire? What is your recovery etc.
Try giving us USEFUL info

I have updated my signature, hopefully the rest of the info you need is there, if not let us know. Thanks
Use fastboot to flash new recovery. If you want to know how to this, check bortak's guide. He did not wrote because he was bored.
I managed to find a recovery.img from somewhere and i'm back in recovery mode. But I still have these errors i'm faced with.
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
As soon as this is sorted i can then find out why i can't format or mount the system, i won't be able to re-install my rom otherwise.
Was it really necessary to create another thread with same problem?
Which recovery did you flash?
Please post information from your Hboot! You get there if you turn your phone off, and press and hold first volume down and then power button for a few seconds. It's a white screen with three androids at the bottom and the import information is top left.

[Q] Can someone help me unbrick my phone? (I think it's bricked)

So about 5 months ago, i was doing something on my Dinc and something went horribly wrong. I was too lazy to try to fix it and i wanted a new phone so i got a droid charge. Now, i want to try to fix it and use it as an mp3 player and for games. Can someone help me? When i boot the phone, it goes to the white screen with options "bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down (androids skating at the bottom)" when i go to bootloader, then recovery, i get the htc incredible screen, then to cwm. But when i use the power button
to select an option, the screen goes black, and if i press it again, it goes back to the main menu. And on the bottom, it says
ClockwordMod Recovery v2.5.0.5
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
And i believe my phone is S-on. Is there any way to just reset EVERYTHING?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I forgot that you don't use the power button to select on the Dinc -.-, but when i select, for example clear cache or clear data, it says
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command

Try flashing the s-off tool through cwm and that should gain you access to the internal memory. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

Do not use the power button to select, you use the trackball to select items and power to go back. If you hit power wile on the main menu, the screen will go black, press it again and the menu will come back. As for the errors it sounds like you may need to fastboot flash the misc partition. I would first try reflashing cwm recovery thru hboot and then wipe everything thru recovery and flash a rom and see if it works. You are s-off right?
Yea i got confused with the droid charge and used the power button to try to select. And my Dinc is s-on.

are you able to flash .zip files through recovery such as superuser or unrevoked forever (s-off tool), or do you get the same type of response?
nope... i cant flash anything. Is there a program like Odin for the Droid Charge for the Dinc?

Use a PB31IMG.zip ruu thru hboot. http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip. Place that file on your sdcard in no folders. Then power off the phone and hold vol down and power untill a white screen appears (hboot). It will find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install.

Try placing this on the root of your SD and boot into hboot. It is the most recent gingerbread PB31IMG.zip and should get you back to 2.3.4 and if you so choose, you can reroot and go from there.

woops, sorry I didn't see cmlusco had given you the same thing. Try his first and then try mine if you don't have any luck. They're probably the same file though.
I already tried those files from http://pvillecomp.com/ with no luck. I'll try these and reply back.
EDIT: I tried it and it seemed to work in the beginning then it says
Main Version is older
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
VOL UP Yes
VOL DOWN No

Are you able to communicate to your phone through adb? if you are, then I would suggest using the following information written by scotty85 to help to temporarily unlock your bootloader so you can flash the "older version"

You would want to start with "step 4 - downgrade with adb"

[Q] I think I bricked my KF

Ok people so I think I F***** up royaly. I had my KF for months now and swaps plenty of roms on i butthe other night I was flashing a rom and accidently erased everything off the KF. Now it won't boot flashed rom. It says installaton success but follows with e: cannot load or something in that effect. I finally got my computer to recognize KF and mount but it won't boot custom rom. it'll either stay stuck on the triangle screen, back to TWRP or boot but screen stays black. Idk what else to do . I tried dozens of things and I feel that my head is going to explode. Please someone help.
Btw when using KFU I get
ABD status offline
Boot Mode 0x5003
Anyone?

I finally got it to boot but now it's stuck on the boot animation..
Scratch that, I finally got it to work. Got it to normal boot. kept freezing on me but instead of holding the power button, i rebooted thru twrp. Did the latest update thru KFU , rebooted and did sustem wipe and factory reset, reinstalled and currently running Cyanogen Mod 9 Thanks for the help soupmagnet

When trying to flash a stock rom, did you try different usb cables and usb ports?
Did you confirm the model number in download mode?

I think it's Hail Mary time. See your PM for info using Heimdall and pit file. I have put what you need on the ftp server. ~metafizik
I had this happen with mine once and had to flash older version stock ROM & Pit .from there I had no signal, after rooting & philz...flashed new modem..then updated to updated ROM. Oh and mine also failed adb until I got a new battery.Also I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall drivers on computer...both Sammy & Heimdall.
