WHAT I DID:
From stock ROM, albeit rooted -
opened ROM Manager
chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle
allowed it to do its thing
Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?
decided to flash back to previous backup
^^ that's where it gets stuck. I have 4 different nandroid backups, and none of them will restore. The best I can get is a boot loop. Right now I'm getting
Code:
Can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

What version of clockwork recovery are you using and are you trying to restore a CM6 backup or CM7. Did you wipe before installing CM7? Also its been posted several places about using rom manager to update some have had issues and posted. Its probably best to use it to download the rom you want but for best results installing it manually usually avoids issues atleast for me anyways.

I am using the current version, 3.0.0.5 or something like that (I can't get into my phone to check). I am trying to restore a stock ROM. I have three backups made with ClockworkMod and none of them will restore. I try to start the restore, and after a few seconds I get "Error while erasing boot image: can't open /cache/recovery/log"
what method did you use to obtain root?

The older versions of CWR 3.0.0.5 had some troubles retsoring their backups. Try to find a new one.
And regarding the boot problem.
Try to wipe cache
If it still does not boot, connect it to USB and run an adb logcat while it is booting. Ther should be some helpful information.

You can't restore a stock rom with clockworkmod 3, as the stock rom is based on froyo (2.2)
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
damn, that sucks!
You can use CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash between CM7, CM6, stock, etc and restore backups. I do it all the time. The newer versions (after 3.0.0.5) don't have that ability.
The output you provided most likely means you didn't wipe before flashing.
Reboot into recovery and wipe user data as well as cache. A nandroid restore from recovery should wipe automatically. I'm not sure Rom manager does it by default or you have to select the option. Perhaps that's why you got a boot loop.
If the restore fails Use ADB to push a rom. Sounds like it's not recognizing your device (perhaps a driver issue). If you can't use ADB, just mount usb in recovery and transfer a rom update. Remember to wipe cache and data, then flash. You will lose your apps and data, but you can restore them if you used Titanium Backup.
I do it all the time. The legit version of 3.0.0.5 that's offered through rom manager will allow you to reflash any rom

It was my understanding, unless koush put a fix in recently, that CWM3 only works using the ext4 file system which isn't compatible with CM6 or stock-they use ext3.
What I'd suggest doing is
-downloading the most recent version of CWM3,
-flash that through fastboot,
-try to boot in to recovery,
-wipe the phone, and
-try manually flashing CM7 and then the gapps.
That should resolve everything. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll try something else. Good luck.

He supposedly did but if that's true then why in the world didn't he fix the sd-ext aspect. Still doesn't see the ext partition *sigh*. Anyway, even if he did fix it doesn't mean it will work for everyone, especially when dealing with wildly different file systems. Especially with how different each phone can be. It just means it should work - no guarantee. If everyone else's suggestions don't work (which they should), then use rom manager to download and flash the most recent 2.x clockwork.
This might have been touched on before but i have read so many pages i cant seem to find it. i am still a noob and usually pretty good about figuring my problems outby reading thru the forums.
I have a mytouch4g/glacier and am stuck in recovery. When i try to flash a rom all i get is assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img"."boot") (status 7) installation aborted. E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:cant open /cache/recovery/log
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
I have installed several roms before and no problems. Wanted to try cyanogen 7 rc4 and it kept rebooting so i decided to go back to what i had and this is all i get... Please Help.
What recovery version are you using? What rom are you trying to go back to? Did you download CM using the phone it your computer.
Sounds like a bad download. Hard to say without more info though.

If your recovery image is corrupt, you don't have to un-root an re-root again. Just download a new copy from here and flash it via terminal emulator.
I'll post instructions for anyone wondering how to flash via terminal.
First rename the downloaded file to "recovery.img", then follow this:
Code:
Copy recovery.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

that could work if the phone booted up, but as of right now it doesn't boot and it won't since I had just wiped the phone when clockwork started acting up with the "can't mount /cache" errors. thanks for the suggestion though.
I was pretty desperate to get my phone working again so I jus dl PD15IMG.zip put it on the root of my SD card n went into hboot n let the phone do the rest. Back to stock byt hey I'm phone is working again

you lucky dog.... Mine does not want to restore with PD15IMG.zip, it fails on items 1-6, skips one more and freezes at updating the radio. Even tried with a freshly formatted sdcard.
Ok I am hoping I didn't brick my phone, but seeing as I can get into clockwork, I am thinking I just messed something up.
I get the following error in clockwork:
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've tried mounting cache and formatting cache with no such luck. I am going to try to push clockwork and reinstall it (thinking maybe a bad install). Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix?

It seems to be a problem with ether Clockwork Mod or RoyalGinger 1.5. Been searching for the same problem. Seems like this happens when switching off of RoyalGinger 1.5
I'm still attempting to flash a fix, but so far no luck. Tried running pd15img and it failed, well the version I used failed.
I'm trying to figure out a way to push an image of clockwork over but I'm having difficulties with that as well.

I don't think that's what it is, I'm using the part7xxxx.bin file on a freshly formatted sdcard along with pd15img and it's not working. Seems more like the internal partition got corrupted by either RoyalGinger or clockwork, or the combination of both.

I have a rooted MyTouch 4G with CM7 flashed. Just earlier my phone got stuck in a boot loop. So i entered recovery mode and restored to factory settings and tried reinstalling the CM7 mod. However I keep getting this.

I also put the GingerTouch rom on my sd card but i get the same error.
Help??
First I would try deleting those ZIP files and re-downloading CM7. If you still get the same SD card error, trying formatting it and re-downloading again. If after all that you still get those SD card errors, I'd say your card is shot. Also, I think you mean RoyalGinger.

Sorry, but it's bricked. You can try flashing PD15IMG in the bootloader to restore to unrooted stock, but 99% of the time that doesn't work.
Out of curiosity, how long have you had this phone rooted?

Again, like I said, you can try flashing the PD15IMG file in the bootloader. That will unroot the phone and flash the stock ROM, which supposedly allows the phone to work again, but that is unlikely to work.

No, just put the PD15IMG.zip file in the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will automatically recognize and flash the file. The thread that has that file is in the Development section. A quick search should find it.

Post the thread you got it from, but yes that sounds like the right size for the stock image.
Hello to everyone, well i was new to the whole rooting and flashing roms thing, but i did it anyways and it seemed to work just fine , i will explain everything that i did:
i rooted my my touch 4g using the gfree method , and it worked then i flashed the rom royal ginger 3 and it booted just fine , then i just decided to turn off my phone and when i rebooted it it got stuck on the boot loop that i mention, i tried going back to recovery erase all data and re-installing royal ginger but it wont let me erase a thing not data not cache data, nor install the rom, its says the following:
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
and it goes on like that on the bottom of the recovery page
i would really appreciate the help as i am very frustrated
for all of your time and help thank you very much!!!
your phone might either be dead or you have on chance to save it. hapened to mine yesterday the same thing and now doesnt turn on and i already called tmobile for a replacement. Search on how to get the pd15img on there using hboot if you have it if not your phones dead and theres nothing you can do
Look at Glacier Wiki, section "Troubleshooting". Link in my signature.
You might have to use the driver and push the ROM threw command propt

if u made a stock backup like all threads strongly recommend before u flash a new rom, then just boot into recovery and install your stock backup. You do not need to wipe anything when u restore a backup. If u were attentive enough to make a stock backup then restore it and Then start over by unrooting and rerooting

The op says nothing about not being able to restore a backup. When it says ” I tried to reinstall the rom” it sounded like he was trying to reinstall the zip file that booted once and then went kaput. I was only offering an option to get the fone working again.
