[Q] Problem with CWM Recovery

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my clockworkmod recovery! The last days my DHD began to freeze after unlocking the screen. The only solution was to remove the battery and do a restart. The time of using my phone become shorter and shorter till today I could only unlock my SIM card and then it froze. After that I wanted to flash an update of my firmware Revolution HD.
I got an error:
Flashing boot.img...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E: Error in /sdcard/Software/Android_Revolution_HD_4G_3.0.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
When I want to restore with an old backup it says:
Erasing boot before restore...
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formatting BOOT: !
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
Maybe someone got the same error? Or maybe someone has got an idea to solve my problem?!
Thank you guys!
EDIT:
If I want to "wipe cache partition" there's the same error:
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

I have the same exact problem, I am trying to switch ROMs but I want to install CWM 3 over 2.5.1.0. It's giving me the same exact error when I wipe or try to flash anything. No solution yet..

Please inform me if you have a solution....!
I tried to downgrade with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
But it is without success.
Don't know if it would work to format the cache and flash a new cwm version via fastboot...:-S
No ideas guys?

First we have to know about your S-OFF, do you have Radio S-OFF, ENG S-OFF, SuperCID?
If you have ENG S-OFF, you can try flashing ClockworkMod again in fastboot. I will write you instructions if it comes to that.
If you have Radio S-OFF & SuperCID, we can inject stock ROM into your phone via a PC, or load it from the SD card in bootloader.

Hey jkoljo!
Thank you for helping!
My DHD has permroot, ENG and RADIO S-OFF, HBOOT and SuperCID. A flashed different CWM's. It worked, but the error was the same - with all versions of CWM.
I tried to flash the RUU with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
The first two steps worked fine:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
But in the next line:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
...there is an error. It says "no directory"
Today I have to assert that my sdc failed. With an adapter I put it into my laptop. First of all I backuped the whole card. Formated it and then I wanted to copy just the important files. There was an unkown error and after that I had no access. I formated it again but while copying there was the same error. I want to try flashing the RUU with another sdc, but don't have another one at home.
In which mode should I try to flash it? In the guide you should choose charge only and debugging enabled, but as you know my DHD does not boot!

You do not need to do those psneuter commands etc, just put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD (try to get a working card) and reboot to bootloader.

Doesn't I have to install it via CWM? Just reboot the bootloader?!
Should I copy the *.zip into the root of the sdc for that?

Not in CWM, in the bootloader. And yep, put the PD98IMG.zip into the root of the SD.

Mh...bootloader started the update. But while updating the Radio_v2 it hang up. It was working about an hour but it was frozen. And now I cannot start the phone...
Think there is no other way to send it to the support isnt it? :-S

Pull the battery and try again, if that fails again, try replacing the PD file, with a new copy, it may have gone bad/corrupt along the way, if that fails, I'm stumped. But I'm sure there's more that could be done without having to send it back to HTC.

I cannot switch the phone on. No bootloader, no CWM - just the black screen. It will not work to copy a new PD-File on my sdc. And I'm absolutly sure that the PD-File is not damaged - I downgraded it with the same file some weeks ago :-S

M8 not able to Decrypt

Hi, I've recently encrypted my M8. After using it almost a Month I've to say that performance has decreased a lot.
I don't want the Encyption any more, but when I try to decrypt the phone going to "Settings/Storage/Phone Storage" Encyption option is grayed out.
Ok, so I tried getting wrong 30 times the password when it boots, but when it says that is going to perform the Factory Reset, suddenly stops and restarts whitout wiping the phone.
As well when I get into Hboot and select Factory Reset, and also using TWRP option to Factory reset the phone the next text appears on the log:
===================================================

Hello,
You have to have stock recovery before you are able to do a factory restore. If you know your CID you can download the correct recovery for your device and flash it.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

He's not trying to do a restore, he's trying to do a reset, which you can most certainly do without a stock recovery.
He can also do a "factory restore" without a stock recovery by flashing a stock backup, which he can get from many threads here.

Do you have a nandroid from before you encrypted? Flashing that should solve the problem. You could also try flashing a new ROM with a full wipe.

I had latest TWRP and came across that same error and it's mentioned in other threads about that same version TWRP giving mentioned error.
Flashed 2.8.0.3 and never receive any errors

Its a known bug in twrp altogether....not just one build or another....

Ok, I have given a try twice.
I flashed "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3-m8.img", first try was doing a Factory Reset from recovery and the second using my 30 password attempts wrong on the encryption screen and nothing different happened, same error.
I used this options as it was the easy way, but since it didn't work for me, I'll flash a Nandroid backup or StockRom.
I apologize I didn't reply before, I'll report any issue just in case someone goes through the same problem.
Thank you all.

Been developing a long time...not a debate..lol...and your right you wouldnt have that issue with "philz" as its cwm and not twrp....

You won't believe what the solution was...
1.- Download the latest TWRP available (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img).
2.-Enter to Recovery.
3.-Go to "Wipe->Format Data" and type "Yes"
4.-All Wiped! (Internal Storage)
This option was developed to remove encryption, I didn't know about that before.
But now you know as well.
Thank you again for your help!

Update to TRWP 3.4.0-0 failed - factory reset?

TWRP won't start after updating from 3.3.. to 3.4.0-0 using fastboot. Output includes "Failed to mount '/data'" - see following post.
I guess because I accidentally ran fastboot unlock although it was already unlocked. (The TWRP website fastboot update procedure starts right back with installing the tools and I jumped in at the wrong place)
Tried installing previous TWRP version but no dice.
Any ideas?
I did a TWRP backup before all this. Not exactly sure where it's located but would like to recover it if possible. Will a factory reset likely overwrite it?
