[Q] Wrestling with CWM errors - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure a lot of you have heard this story before, but I'd love to know if there is some solution to this problem buried in the internet that I haven't found yet. Basically, every time I flash Clockworkmod Revocery, it's only a matter of time before I start getting errors along the lines of:
Code:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
These errors basically render the recovery useless, meaning I have to reflash it to get rid of the errors. This only works for a little while before the errors return. I've been jumping from flashing CWM 3.0.0.8 and 5.0.2.0 through hboot for the past few weeks and I'm getting sick of it. Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem? Thanks.
Phone Info
HTC Droid Incredible (ADR6300)
Cyanogenmod 7.1.0
Android 2.3.7
Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.8 (Constantly jumping between this and 5.0.2.0)
Incredikernel 2.6.38.8 (10/08/11)
HBOOT 0.92.0000
Radio 2.15.10.07.07
S-OFF

Have you checked "Erase Recovery" in Rom Manager prior to installing different CWM's?

I can never flash through ROM Manager. Every time I do I get stuck at the htc Incredible screen. Hboot is the only way that works for me. I just tried your suggestion with the same results I just mentioned.

follow the wiki!
if recovery didnt flash right see if you have fastboot in bootloader and reflash it. also double check that hboot flashed correctly by verifying the version with the wiki.
always always follow the wiki. ive never had to downgrade yet so i dont know what it consists of other than getting you back to stock 1.34 or lower. pm me if you need more advice.

Please help! Broken recovery!!!

I have rooted my htc desire with Unrevoked, and installed clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 recovery. The thing is that the recovery doesn't. It gives me the following errors:
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:
The recovery doesn't work at all. ANYTHING I try to do ends up with the errors above. And that's why I can't flash a new recovery image.
Could anyone help me?
Phone spects:
Htc desire
Android 2.2 stock rom
Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
Hboot 0.93
S-on
How can I fix my recovery?
P.S. If you would like, I could post the whole error log exported from the recovery.

Wipe cache from recovery.
Do you have a PVT 4 device? If that is the case, you need AmonRA or never CWM.
Yeah I had this when I was starting out. PVT-4 device. I just flashed a custom recovery (AmonRA) when I did unrevoked instead of the default one.
LOL, WHY DO YOU OPEN TWO THREADS????

[Q] Help Please!!! My phone is bricked and can't flash recovery

Ok here is my problem
I have an incredible 2 rooted and s-off and flashed with condemned CM 7.2
the device hangs up occasionally and I of course I take the battery out to get it back to work, until today while I was installing something from the play store it hanged up again and I took the battery out but this time the device won't pass the HTC white screen at all. I was able to get into CWM recovery and here is what I got:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried wipe data/factory reset and cache wipe and all went OK
Then I tried to restore a nandroid with no luck and I get this message:
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoreing system....
Error while formatting /system!
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I Tried flashing another room and I get this error message:
and it gave a (status1) error
I googled a bit and found those two similar cases:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150917
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
so either my eMMc is fired or needs partitioning
I used to have CWM 4.0.0.5 so I thought of updating to a newer version to solve the problem but it won't update, the fastboot code "fastboot flash recovery" hangs at (writing recovery ...) and the phone is also hanged. After waiting long enough I took the battery out once again and this time I don't have any recovery installed at all and of course can't install any recovery.
I wish someone has a solution to my problem so that I can try partitioning method.
Addition: Now whenever I connect the usb port to the phone it automatically turns on and logs into hboot

[Q] HTC Droid Incredible (first edition) internal file corruptionish

Issue a little resolved.
Info below.
Thank you.
Perhaps you did a factory reset? It usually takes a few minutes longer than usual to boot after doing one of those.
If you didn't, it might be worth trying now.... turn off phone, hold volume down and power button together, using volume button scroll to 'factory reset' and select it using power button.
You can add back a stock 'OS' by following the steps here (#33 contains the stock OS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571404
I performed a Factory Reset. It rebooted and went to the HTC Droid Incredible screen, which only lasted a view seconds. Then it went straight to Clockworkmod Recovery.
And by that restoring the OS part you said, I can't find it. The link you provided sends me to a fix-the-screen forum post. There's no #33 there.
The phone has HBoot unlocked, btw if that helps anything.
Have you, by chance, tried flashing a stock RUU? PH98IMG on the sdcard and all that jazz?
I have, as a matter of fact, tried doing that.
I started with images at HBoot on a sdcard but all it did was read it and then throw back an image-not-recognized even though the image IS recognized.
Then I tried doing a few RUU's but all of them throw errors back at me.
This is getting frustrating.
Here is HBoot info:
***UNLOCKED***
INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
UPDATE!
I somehow got the phone to startup it's OS, somehow...
But now it is freezing almost every time I go from 1 app. to another. How do I fix the app. freezing?
And now it is getting stuck in boot loops again! Please help!

Just do a full wipe in recovery, and then flash a rom of your choosing. That should get you up and running. Or you could do this ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot.
Thanks for the file! I downloaded it to a FAT32 formatted sdcard and went into HBoot and let the file update. The update was successful, but I still got the random reboots/freezing/etc. I can't access the market/google play because it keeps saying there is no connection but I do a wifi connection. It also keeps getting stuck on the HTC Incredible white screen.

Cache Errors in recovery

Hi Guys. I need some advice. I've been struggling with this issue for quite a while and no matter what I cannot solve my problem, many hours googling this issue has not been successful.
When I boot into TWRP, I get this error 90% of the time:
Code:
E: TWFunc: : Copy_Log -- Can't open destination log
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'.
This initial error doesn't prevent me from flashing the CM ROM but it does prevent me from flashing this kernel. If i wipe cache I can flash the kernel again, but later on, when I update my ROM and boot into recovery I get this problem again, so i have to wipe cache all the time. Though a small inconvinience, i wish i didnt have to do it, especially since it kinda interferes with my cyandelta update process of flashing the kernel right after the rom.
I've attached a log file produced by TWRP.
I get a similar error when using Clockwork Recovery.
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Fresh installs don't work either. I'm hoping this isn't a hardware issue... something about a fried emmc or something like that. Please say it isnt so.
Im having this issue on t999 s3, happened ever since i flashed new cm11 nightly. I cant even access recovert without it reinstalling the same cmupdate script.
