does anyone know about cwm? having some weird /cache issues... reminiscent of the eMMC problems on the HTC desire. Any help would be appreciated! (i use infectedrom nightlys, my restored version loads fine, latest version does NOT, and presents the issues below...)
I downloaded, wiped like normal, flashed... and then got a list of CWM errors... cannot mount /cache/recovery/xxxxxxxxx (5 of them). cannot open either.
mount /command
mound /log
open /log
mount /last_log
open /last_log
any ideas on what to do??
****edit***** so I restored. worked great. downloaded a new copy of r194. md5 match check. matched. wiped data/factory reset (passed on cache wipe option thinking maybe it would prevent this error)... seemed to flash okay. no /cache mounting error message after flashing. rebooted system. now my phone is stuck on the initial "htc" white loading screen that pops up first when booting. been stuck like this for around 5 minutes. normally a new flash loads much faster than this. battery pull. rebooted to recovery. same error message.
cwm3.1.0.2. been working for a couple months now. dunno what to do. restoring last working version until i figure out what to do. help plz!
Afaik, CWM 5.0.2.1 is the latest version. Maybe you must update that to flash the new ROM.
Maybe restore a working setup, and in ROM Manager, update CWM via the first option @ top of list in ROM Manager. Flash it (CWM Recovery) a couple times.
Also, in ROM Manager, menu, settings, erase recovery s/b checked.
Then make a backup of the working setup with the new cwm version, then do full wipe : factory reset, cache, dalvik, and system (in advanced) then flash new ROM.
There's this also :

I just installed a overclock kernel and my market app downgraded and wouldn't download, found the new apk here on xda and installed it, but now it is saying not enough space when I check I have plenty of room any where in the system. everything else works great though...yes i have tried flashing the current sbf, restoring previous backups but nothing seems to work thanks in advance for any help.
Which market app version did you install?
Also, you mentioned doing an sbf and it didn't restore the market app properly. Can you please add some more detail on the steps taken to get to where you are now with it?
The more info you can post the better chance it can get figured out.
I had installed the 1.2 ghz overclock kernel had wifi for alittle bit lost it so I wiped data/factory reset flashed the newest sbf tried to download my apps and it gave me the not enough space error, reflashed rooted unlocked the bootloader again installed the new 1.3 kernel wifi works but app market reverted to the old market when my photon never had that version it would say it would download momentarily look like it was downloading then vanish, replaced the market apk with new one from forum on xda and is now saying the not enough space again.(sorry for the grammer and noob error)
Boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache then reboot.
odd now its saying E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
(File exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/comand
this three times. and I tried re-installing recovery and it is still saying this..
using root explorer i can't find these files.
wiping cache and dalvik are done in recovery. Do you have clockworkmod recover installed?
The recovery installed through boot strap
I was using the wrong recovery use Calkulin's recovery method
[Unlocked Only][Recovery] ROMRacer's Custom CWM-based Recovery 4.0.1.4
everything is working great now, sorry for wasting the more experienced members time and thanks for the help it is greatly appreciated.
I have spend over 4 hours browsing threads on this topic, and nothing has worked so far...so starting this thread is my last resort. I apologize for the lengthy description, but I want to make sure I don't leave out any details. Thanks in advance.
Issue: In short, my cache partition is corrupted. I was running the stock (rooted) Telus rom and everything was great. I did a nandroid backup. I then flashed the CM9-UNOFFICIAL-Kang h0tw1r3 Release 8 (6/25) rom, and it worked great, however there were things I didn't like about it so I flashed back to my nandroid backup. It successfully restored. I later went to flash the Team Perfection's Objection rom (doing all system/cache formats) and it went through the whole installation and froze at the wipe cache stage (over 20 minutes). I did a battery pull and tried again with the same result. I tried formatting again (both system and cache) and each froze at the same stage...each time with E: can't mount cache errors. I tried flashing the nandroid backup and it also froze at the cache stage, but after rebooting it did load exactly as before. Everything works except downloading from the market (I get a cannot download error every time I try to update any apps - error 492). I've tried factory restores from both cwm and from the system menu and they both freeze. I've tried re-flashing the stock rom through Odin and get the same cache errors. I've fixed permissions, re-flashed cwm and re-flashed gapps...same problem. Basically my phone works perfectly as is, but I cannot download or update any apps through the Play Store (I can sideload apks), and I cannot format, wipe, flash or backup anything new.

Android 2.3.6
I717UCLF5
kernel 2.6.35.11
cwm v5.8.4.3
tl;dnr - is there a way to reformat the cache partition without using cwm?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
edit:
SOLVED: flashed an old version of CWM and was able to wipe!

great after reading I was going to suggest what you use to solve your issue.
can you solved in your title...
Oh, thanks for the heads up!
I was getting desperate. I actually flashed a couple different recoveries through Odin with no luck. I was dabbling with ADB but couldn't get the format command to work...then I decided to flash a really old recovery as a last ditch effort and luckily it worked.
Thanks everyone for reading. I've seen a lot of people with a similar issue and mixed results...I hope this helps someone.
Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.
Prior to trying to flash a custom rom onto my droid razr, I was on the verizon rom 4.1.2. I had root access and I installed BMM and got recovery working. I really liked CarbonRom from what I read and wanted to flash it and so I got the rom, the gapps 20130301 and I flashed the rom, then the gapps, and I rebooted. It gets stuck on the booting screen (the splash screen). I also tried flashing the jbx hybrid kernel (version 6 i believe) and out of curiousity tried flashing CM10.1 with the same gapps just to see.
None of it works, am I doing something wrong?? If so, what am i doing wrong??
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you
FIXED
I got it working. If anyone is interested or has my same problem with BMM,
for some reason when you choose factory reset with BMM it doesn't clear /system. You need to go to Mounts & Format and manually format /system before the phone is actually cleared. Just clearing cache and data doens't do it.

Worked for me as well!
Hi all, this is my first time posting in XDA and I finally managed to brick my phone. Please help me The story goes as below :
1) I was using Slimbean 4.2.2 stable build 8, with the said CWM 6.0.4.7. and tried to reinstall the rom fresh from the original zip from slimroms website.
2) Did the usual wipe user data and cache partition
3) Wiped dalvik cache
4) I was curious and bravely decided to use the mounts and storage option. Browsed through the list and decided to format /system, /cache, /preload, /data, and /boot. Suddenly felt like something just went wrong, so stopped before the /modem section.
5) Thinking that I finally cleared my phone from all of the previous rom's files and such, went into install zip menu. Tried installing zip from sdcard1 (external).
6) CWM shows my external card properly. Selected the zip file. Wait. Phone reboots into CWM.
7) Thought I missed something, tried rebooting as usual. Directly went into CWM again. Pushed the button combination for download mode, went into download mode just fine.
8) Used CWM boot into bootloader mode menu, phone reboots into CWM again.
9) Tried using the "install zip from sdcard" menu. Phone reboots into CWM again.
10) Checked the log, it says
I:Checking for extendedcommand...
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found
I:Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmcl
Right now its 1 AM in the morning, and I have morning shift tomorrow. Please help me people The only probable solution left for me is installing Samsung original ROM using ODIN, hoping that everything will be set as usual again.

Glad to see it worked there was nothing wrong that you did apart from the last option /boot...I suggest you use PhilZ recovery it as a option in settings to "clean to install a new rom" which formats all the correct partitions for you..

I used to use Philz recovery, touch version. But it seems to have something that I don't like back then, so I opted back to CWM. Maybe I should try Philz again. BTW, why does the mmcblk error comes out? Should I be worried. Because when I check the log now, it still occurs even though my phone is fully functional now.
