[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popokrew:
Hello,

I visit this forum every day to stay up to date with all the ROMs. Im trying to help fix a friend's phone and I apologize if this is in the wrong forum but I think this forum contains the audience who can help with this. Basically my friend brought me his G2 (which I rooted and put CM7 on it for him) and it wouldnt boot. I know all the regular ways to recover it but when booting into recovery I get these errors:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

Here is a Pastebin with the recovery log:

Cannot update to the newest recovery using fastboot (CWM version is 3.0.0.5) but i booted to CWM 3.0.2.4 with the fastboot boot recovery.img command. I cannot restore a backup, cannot format /boot or /system (get the "error formatting /system" message). I wiped cache and data and this didnt help. Tried loading a new cm7 zip. If I try to flash the latest recovery in fastboot it doesnt work:

c:\download\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork

-3.0.2.4-vision.img

sending 'recovery' (4466 KB)... OKAY [ 0.760s]

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

I tried loading a PC10IMG.zip from an RUU and I get a failed update on the first item. Im thinking this is some kind of partition issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Ive been searching the whole morning and there are a few threads in other forums regarding this and the best luck someone had was flashing with the PC10IMG.zip to fix it. The phone has the engineering hboot.
