"E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command"

"E:can't mount DATA:data/recovery/log"

thats what u get when i go back to stock recovery. am i missing something?:confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Where do you get this error? From Rom Manager? A little bit more of a explenation would be helpfull. Can you flash the 3.0.0.5 option in Rom Manager and then boot into recovery and check and see if it is actually 3.0.0.6? I am not sure what a very few select people are doing to cause this issue to their device. First thing I will say is that people need to flash the Eng bootloader when flashing their phone. If you havent done that yet you really should. It isnt needed for this zip to work but overall is much better for your phone and future things you want to flash. It decreases your chances of messing up your device on accident.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LOONEyRR:
Sry. Lol. I don't have any issues with 3.0.0.5 only when I flash to 0.6 an go to recovery, it only has those few options, and when I choose (haven't seen the recovery since yesterday so words might be kinda off. Ha) "flash from sd" it gives me those errors, then reboots. It'll start up and then I just reflash 0.5 on rom manager an its back to normal. I mean. I'm pretty new at playing with a rooted mt4g but i've been playing with my rooted g1 from th beginning of time up to jan of this yr. Ha, so I have soome knowledge of what I'm doin. Was that info kinda helpful? XD
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Dude, I am not trying to be rude but you are making little sense here. Lets start this again because I am leaning towords user error here. Answer these questions :

1. Have you downloaded the latest version of Rom Manager from the market?

2. Have you flashed the zip from the OP?

3. If you flash the "3.0.0.5" from Rom Manager what happens? Does it say successful?

4. If you boot into recovery what does it say the version is?

A Noob Question

First off, Thank You for all the work you put in, I and I am sure many others appreciate it...Now for my noob question, I like sense, even though it may be bloated, but I also like Cyanogen7RC4 Cyan is really amazing...When I'm using my stock sense rom and I want to back it up, do I change the recovery from 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.1.2 or 2.5.1.4 ? The reason I ask is because I couldn't get back to my sense rom from CM7RC4(recovery 3.0.0.5 please note after installing the one from the OP I updated the rom via the market, in the future should I not upgrade ROM manager ? Thank you in advance for your help and thanks to those that may have had this problem and could shed some light on me...thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
How do you switch back to 3005. Kept trying to install royalthunder and kept going back to recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
Will there be an update to this mod for the latest Rom manager update?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Was curious about that too.

ROM manager update came with a new recovery (3.0.2.4) that is supposed to allow charging with device off. I still see "3.0.0.5" and 2.5.1.4 in the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries list, so I am assuming these are still really 3.0.0.6 and the stock recovery.

I had previously flashed the modded 3.0.0.6 that is also supposed to allow charging with phone off. I have not tried charging with device off since then - will not get to try that until tomorrow when I try the HTC recommended battery conditioning procedure - which includes charging with device off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
You can't go back to sense if you use 3.0.0.5, but if you flashed drew's zip, you should have 3.0.0.6 in place of 3.0.0.5 and this will work OK with sense ROMs.

When you go into recovery - which one (3.0.0.5 or.6) shows up?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
just so everyone knows Koush released an official stable recovery for the desire z/g2 and glacier. go to rom manager and install it :) should be 3.0.2.4
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pdxmatts:
I need help. I have 3.0.0.6 working, but I want to go back to my backup of Ice Glacier that I backed up on 2.5.1.2. the new CW doesn't show 2.5.1.2 anymore and when I try to flash to 2.5.1.4 I get the red triangle. When I try to hold power and vol down on the red triangle, it does nothing. Are all my backups worthless now?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mark manning:
............
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Try restoring it with 3.0.0.6 from recovery not rom manager.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LewsTherin006:
im pretty sure it works fine too, other people have tested it and it works fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pdxmatts:
That worked! Thank you. So, I know longer have to flash down, I can just leave it on 3.0.0.5 for 2.2 and 2.3 Roms?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
as long as the 3.0.0.5 you are speaking of is really 3.0.0.6 . You can also flash the newest recovery from Rom Manager allthough I do believe a couple of options have been removed/changed in that recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
Do you know what those options are that got changed/removed? Myself and a few others have had mt4g's bricked after removing RoyalGinger while on the latest clockwork. I'm getting a replacement phone, but I'll be scared to try anything new until the issue is resolved.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
I'd be interested to know what you experienced when your phone was "bricked". I'm currently stuck with a phone that only allows me to access the bootloader and fastboot. From there I can run commands just fine from the computer and don't get any errors. But I try to reboot the phone or go into recovery, I just get stuck on the tMobile splash screen.

I've tried to revert to stock with the PD15IMG.zip file on the sdcard to no avail.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
Very similar issue. Mine failed after wiping RoyalGinger and trying to flash it again after a reboot. It started giving out the "can't mount /cache" errors in clockwork, it fails to flash roms, can't do wipe/factory reset since it gives the same "can't mount /cache" errors. hboot fails to do a factory reset, it just freezes at the screen with three androids in the middle of the screen. The pd15img restore fails as well. This was with both newest versions of RoyalGinger and clockwork.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
Thanks for your reply.

When you ran your pd15img restore, at what point did it fail?

Mine comes up and asks if I'd like to perform the update. I answer yes by pushing the vol up button. Then it very quickly shows "updating", then, "ok", then it jumps right back to the mytouch splash screen. It just sits there forever.

Did the same thing happen for you?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
The "Format boot" option was removed and a "power off" option was added to the menu. You can also no longer switch to the 2.5.1.2 recovery to flash alot of the mods found here in the forums.

This problem isnt isolated to Royal Ginger and I dont think that it has anything to with the Rom you are on. With that said I dont think anyone has figured out what is causing this to happen to some devices.

I understand that both of you guys feel like your device is bricked but I dont think it is. You just need to figure out how to fix it. Try following these instructions to unroot. Make sure you follow the steps ( PD15IMG & part7 backup). One problem I see is that some people dont have adb ability, to do some of the steps so that is a hurdle that needs to be overcome. I have seen some people come back from the issues you are having but typically it is easier for people to just get a new phone rather than to figure out how to fix it. Unfortunatly that is one of the reasons that they make it harder and harder to root phones.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
By any chance do you think it would be possible to make a mod that would add the option to flash 2.5.1.2?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
Yeah, I'm in it for the long haul. If there's a way back from this mess I'll figure it out one way or another.

One of the many confusing things to me is the fact that adb just doesn't recognize my device. I know it works on my computers because I've used it plenty before this little disaster but I don't think I've ever used adb while the phone is just on the bootloader/fastboot screen, though.

Thanks for your reply TrueBlue_Drew. I'll be sure to post it if I ever figure out a solution.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
it failed at flashing items 1 through 6 and then bypassed one more to finally get frozen at flashing the radio.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
thanks for the suggestions. so are you saying that the phone HAS to be unrooted with g-free for the pd15img restore to work? If so, that might be the reason why it's failing right now, don't want to get my hopes up though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Can you get into recovery? And what method did you use to root?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I am saying if you used the g-free method (ultimate root) you need to include your part7backup file when you try to restore the PD15IMG. I dont know if it will work or not, just going off of what I have read.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
Unfortunately, I cannot get into recovery. All I have is the bootloader/fastboot. When I try to access recovery from the bootloader option it just hangs on the mytouch splash screen.

I'm pretty sure I used the gfree method to root and do not have the part7backup file anywhere.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
ah, ok. I thought you were saying it was a required to unroot first before performing the pd15img recovery. Unless that is in fact required, I've already tried the pd15img recovery file along with the part7backup file on the sdcard and had no luck. I am able to go into recovery, where in recovery can I enable usb debugging for adb? or does clockwork automatically load up usb debugging?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, so first let me show you this. I pulled it straight from the ultimate s=off root instructions

You need to look on your sdcard and hope you still have that file. Have you tried a fastboot wipe, since you have fastboot access? You need to try and find a way to at least get to recovery if possable. You can also try removing your sdcard and see if it will boot into the rom you are on. (just a shot in the dark)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Dont think there is a option for debugging in CWM. So, while in recovery I am guessing adb doesnt see your device. Can you go into the mount menu and mount system or anything and do you get the same thing with adb if you do that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] erickdj:
yeah, last time I tried adb wouldn't see the device, but fastboot would work if I went through the hboot fastboot option. I'll see if any of the mount options work when I get home in about 6 hours.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lednib:
Yes, I've run 'fastboot erase system -w' and while that process completed without errors, I still can get no further than before.

I agree, getting into recovery is my goal at this point. I'm sure I saved the part7backup file to a very safe place, I just don't recall where that safe place is at the moment. :o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, so the next question is have you tried to push a new recovery using fastboot? (probably yes) Whats the error? If you have access to Gtalk send me a pm with your addy and we can chat that way when you get a minute and that way we dont have to clog up the thread, going back and forth. If not we can just do it this way
[myTouch 4G Android Development] :
rename or?

do i rename rec romng zip to update.zip or keep stock name i tried both from stock recovery blue text and stock name error is cant find updat.zip and i renamed it to update.zip then that error was verification failed for signature or somthing signature verification failed when renaming the Recoveries_to_RomManager file to update and when i us the rec to rm mngr file to update it says update not found
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No you do not need to rename anything in order to flash this. It just needs to be done via recovery but you have to be rooted and running CWM recovery allready

I am not sure why you would be trying to flash anything from the stock recovery. It is not possable to flash roms or mods or really most anything from the stock recovery. The stock recovery in this mod is really used only to charge while the phone is off and is not even really needed now because CWM Recovery 3.0.2.4 will now charge while powered off.

On a side note this mod now includes CWM 2.5.1.2 So that people can flash older scripted mods if needed.

Test it by telling rom manager to flash it and try to boot into it. See if it boots you into the proper recovery, then reboot and you'll know for sure.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
Problems.

Hi All,

Everything was working fine, but then I decided to go back to stock after trying many ROMs. Last one I was in was the RoyalThunder or something...2.2.1 but with Sense 2.x.

So I did the PDxxxx.zip process to go back to Stock. Booted up fine, rooted using the Visionary+ and gfree method.

Then installed all my apps back including ROMManager. Now I flash the 3.0.2.4 CWR. ROM Manager has no complains and it says flashed the latest recovery.

Now if I reboot into recovery, I do not land into the CWR. Instead I land into the HBoot.

Then I tried flashing the 2.5.1.4 (green text). I am able to go into that recovery fine.

Wasnt 3.0.2.4 supporting the older Sense ROMs?

If I flash the 3.0.0.5 from ROM Manager (which I understand is actually 3.0.0.6), I still cannot go into recovery, it boots into HBoot.

Any idea what is wrong here?

Thanks

Ravneet
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
I am having the same problem...Cannot go to recovery 3.0.2.4 or .0.6.

Only recovery I can go to is the 2.5.1.4 (green text). All other recoveries flash well from ROM Manager, but when I reboot into recovery I land into HBoot.

Stock ROM (restored using the PD15xxxx.zip method and then rooted using Visionary and gfree).

More details in the post above this one...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Posting twice in less than 10 minutes wont help me answer any faster ;)

It sounds like you might have a bad download or you have done something else to make the recoveries not stick I would try downloading the zip again and try that. I just tested it and got into all 4 recoveries fine.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
Thanks for picking this up TrueBlue_Drew.

I was just trying to link the problems for your advantage. I did try downloading the zip again. Same results, could not go to the latest 3.0.0.5 (real 3.0.0.6) or the 3.0.2.4 recovery. always boots into HBoot.

I gave up and just finished doing the PD15IMG.zip restore again, and rooting it again with gfree.

I now have the stock recovery (blue text). Will install ROM Manager and the recoveries again in the morning...took me long to experiment and then revert back to stock and atleast have a working phone :)

Will update.

EDIT: Just for my understanding, wanted to confirm that the 3.0.2.4 should support the stock Sense ROM, right?

EDIT 2: Tried everything again...same results...flashed 3024 from 'All recoveries' in ROM MAnager...comes back without errors. Then reboot in recovery takes me to the HBoot instead of the 3024 recovery. I am off to sleep now...been on this for 3-4 hours now. :)

Thanks

Ravneet
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RangerLG:
Does s=off show in HBoot?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
Yes the hboot shows s=off.

After doing the PD15IMG.zip restore for the third time I (shot in the dark) did a fix permissions.

Now I can flash 3.0.0.6 recovery :) (orange text). Little success!

But the 3.0.2.4 is still a NO go. Still when I flash 3.0.2.4 recovery, and reboot in recovery I land in the hboot.

Then I looked at the ZIP that I downloaded from the OP...and expanded that ZIP. Under cm\recoveries folder there are ONLY 3 IMG files...2514, 3005 & 2513. Wasnt there supposed to be a 3.0.2.4 IMG too in there? Maybe thats the reason its not happy flashing 3.0.2.4? Or 3.0.2.4 comes with the ROM manager itself? I am just giving in as much info as I can. :)

So now, all 3 recoveries work except the 3.0.2.4. ROM manager flashes it without errors, but rebooting in recovery (after flashing 3.0.2.4) I land in hboot.

Maybe I should try flashing the 3.0.2.4 via fastboot or something?

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
lol, well I didnt want to burst your bubble and say that this isnt a problem with my zip but a problem with Rom Manager or with something you have done. The recovery 3.0.2.4 is not included in this zip, it is supplied by Rom Manager and downloaded when you choose to flash it from Rom Manager. As I said before, you probably have a bad download.

Go onto your sd card and into the folder clockworkmod>download>mirrorbrain.cyanogynmod.com>cm>recoveries

delete the 3.0.2.4 recovery that is in there. Then open up Rom Manager and try flashing 3.0.2.4 again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ravneetg:
That did it. The 3.0.2.4 was corrupted. Did a MD5 on the img that was on the sdcard and the one that ROMManager downloads, were different.

Cleaning out and doing it again works.

Now, TrueBlue_Drew...there is no question of bursting my bubble or not. Because that is not what I have in my mind when I come here. I try to be more participative and verbose with the information I provide to help the devs like you to spot a issue ASAP, if there is a issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vabeach454:
I had been using this zip to flash back to 2.5.1.2 and it had been working fine. Now when I try to flash ClockworkMod 2.5.1.4 to get to 2.5.1.2 it says an error occurred while flashing your recovery. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
Did u update rom manager?? That hapoened to me when I updated rom manager...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vabeach454:
My ROM Manager had already been updated. I was on a MySence ROM for a couple days on CWM 2.5.1.2 and restored back to 3.0.0.6 for Orange Glacier for a while, then when I tried to change Recovery back to 2.5.1.2 it gave me the error message. :confused:

I have also tried to reinstall the zip from recovery and that doesn't work either.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vabeach454:
Figured it out... No need for 2.5.1.2 anymore with 3.0.0.6 DUH!! LOL.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bm6788:
Does it matter what recovery you are in when you flash this? Because I'm in CWM 3

Okay, I flash the zip and in CWM when I click "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" it says "No legacy recoveries found. Are you connected to the internet?" And when I click "Install rom from SDCARD" and manually pick the folder, when I go into recoveries it doesn't show anything.

What gives?

I'm on Rom Manager v3.0.0.7.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jesemalave1:
what a copy cat i posted this like 2 and a half months ago
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I am glad I am not the only one that can think of renaming a file.

After looking back at your posts about this (in a thread i had never been in before) I see you did post a pretty vague description of what I have done here. Except you didn't put it in a zip so that it would be easy for people to apply and then make a thread to help people be able to do it and ask any questions that they may have.

So to say I am a copy cat is laughable since it doesn't take a genius to think up something like renaming a file and placing it somewhere.

Why would you think that you are the only person that could think something like that up?? I mean seriously??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
You two aren't the only ones either. I remember someone was spamming the board with this info a while back. This is the only one with a flashable zip and good support.

No matter what I do I keep getting "error while flashing recovery"when I try to flash 3.0.0.x, the one that came with your zip. The stock recovery and 2.5.x.x work fine. However when I select 2.5.x.x, it takes me to my old recovery, 3.0.0.1. What the heck? Cleared cache and dalvik...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
It makes it a little harder when you x out the actual numbers in your description cause I dont know whats working for you and what is not.

Something doesnt seem to be flashing correctly.

What rom are you running?

What version of Rom Manager do you have?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
Haha the newest rom manager. It is on auto update. Cm7 nightly. I'm about to re flash the one from garden.zenthought.org and I'll see how it goes.

Screenies addedd
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Are you flashing the zip from recovery and not Rom Manager? And I dont need screenshots, thanks though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
from recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
If you're having trouble you can always use fastboot or flash_image. Drew, maybe they changed the filename on you again???
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
terminal method= success again (its what i did the first time.)

true blue, what exactly did you say about cwm looking for a recovery.img somewhere else?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I am running the latest nightly and it doesn't look like anything has changed.

I'm glad the teminal emulator method worked good for you, not sure why this didnt so if u got a minute maybe we can figure out why.

1. you are on the latest nighty right?

2. What is that 3G icon for in your pic?

3. The DL zip should be 8.08 MB, Make sure you got it all.

If possable I would like you to use a file manager/explorer and navigate on your sd card to /clockworkmod/download and tell me what folders you have there. There should be 4 folders. Do you have them all?

If for some reason you are missing the correct folder or the zip didnt place the recoveries in the correct folder, this method wont work. But it should have placed everything in the correct spot.

Please let me know so we can help prevent this from happening to someone else.

Thanks!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] OnE ShoT:
Very useful thanks a lot :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
haha...DUDE!!!

You are not on the latest nightly, as a matter of fact you are on build #18 that is 13 builds older than the current #33. That nightly also has a version of Rom Manager (even though its v3.0.0.7) that places the image in a different place. So you dont have the latest Rom Manager either.

If you flash the latest nightly or download the latest Rom Manager this method will work just fine for you.

Please remove the pics from your post, they just clog up the thread and make it harder for people to read the posts. If you must have them then try and attach them to your post.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
lol I was right in the backwards sense. He was using the older version of ROM Manager. Maybe add a note to the first post to verify which versions of ROM Manager are supported?
