Wipe cache.

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

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

Problem with flashing inc2

Hi, I have a Droid Incredible 2 that I rooted and installed a custom rom on, and everything went great for a about a week, then suddenly one day it just rebooted and would not go past the HTC screen. Now if I turn it on it just sits at the white HTC screen and does nothing. I can go in to recovery and it displays these errors:
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
I first tried to do wipe data/factory reset and install a new rom, but every rom I try to install fails.
If I go to mounts and storage and try to format something I get an error, for example if I go to format /cache then I get:
Formatting /cache...
Error formatting /cache!
I get the same result not matter what I try to format from there. If I do wipe cache partition from the main menu it says it completed. If I do wipe Dalvik cache the screen scrolls and says nothing, does not say if it worked or didnt work. If I run Fix permissions is just says Done!
Lastly I tried to reflash recovery through ADB, it will do the first part (writing the file) and say OK! But when it gets to the second part it just sits there... and does nothing... I left it for over an hour and nothing. I have to pull the battery from the phone at this point.
So now I am at a loss of what to do since nothing wants to flash to it?
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 with S off

[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

I have the exact same problem. The exact same thing happened to me. Any update on how to repair this?
You have broken NAND memory. See thread about data encrypted problem.
If it makes you feel any better, you two aren't the only ones.

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.
