Hello all,
I'm having trouble flashing frankenclean 2.8nv. it gets part way through copying files and ends with: E:Can't chown/mod /system/ (Too many open files) E: Failure at line 294: installation aborted. I'm currently on 2.5nv, but I am unable to flash 2.6 or 2.8. I'm using CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x Red. I can restore to my last backup, but can't flash anything new.
Anyone have any suggestions or tips to get 2.8 flashed?

Can't install Roms using the Rom Manager due to it just stopping at the recovery. I would have to install it manually. Even then the rom doesn't install correctly. Also having issues with Android Market. I think my cache is screwed up on the phone because any settings I do, when the phone reboots it loses everything. Any help would be appreciated.

I am getting the same thing. I can't restore a backup I did an hour earlier because of this error. When I try to wipe the data I am getting:
Data wipe complete.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Then when I try to restore my backup it freezes at

fota_pipe.log
I was able to successfully wipe the cache some how on a fluke and my restore finished successfully but then I was in a loop with the recovery bootloader and I couldn't get Android to boot up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, having a different issue. I was able to cleanly clear the cache and restore my backup successfully but now I am in a loop with the Voodoo Lagfix Recovery. I choose Reboot System Now and it keeps rebooting into Recovery. I also cannot disable the lagfix which I should be able to do within the menu.

Thanks to phidelt82 I was able to use Odin to reflash stock ROM on my phone and it is all working now.
FYI, flashing with Odin, use setting that it starts up with and put the PIT file in the PIT area and the tar.md5 file in the PDA box. Took 2:46 and I was up and running again.
E: Cant open cache recovery last log....cwm
Was on Calkulins 2.8.1 E4GT rom with Hitman kernel and flashed Strongsteve's Blue odexed rom ...I did a nandroid backup using cwm touch, had no issues doing this, but when I booted back into cwm it was no longer touch cwm, it was back on 5.0.2.7 and it gave me this error right from the start: E: cant open cache recovery last log, cant open cache recovery log.....Said this 4 or 6 times before I ever did anything... Any info on this would be very appreciated...

Hi all!
I would be pleased if someone could help me to find out, what this error message can be.
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
Untill now I have tried:
1. I did a cache wipe
2. dalvic cache wipe
But after I'm booting into recovery again, I get the same errors.
If it is possible, I wouldn't like to make a factory reset without restoring my NAND backup because the ROM I'm using now is twaked for my taste, and it would be so hard to make all the setting again.
Another issue I'm facing now is that applications can no modify setting related to files in /system partition even if the ROM is rooted.
For example if I'm setting a new CPU governor in SetCPU, after a reboot, it is set back to the default.
I don't know if this is related to the previous problem, but I'm thinking the there could be some mounting problem with the partitions.
I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6, Tytung's r14 kernel with Dorimanx's 2.9.3 ROM, but when I have the rom flashed, there were no issues like the above ones.
Thanks!
only time iget that is when i repartition and wipe the system for a new rom
is it causing you any issues other than seeing an error?

Not really. Except for thet wich I wrote about in the first post, but I don't know if it is related to this.
Meanwhile I have flashed a new ROM, and the error message is gone, but I still have the issue with SetCPU, but at least I know, thet the two thigs has no connection.
I was using my M2 when i turned the BT on it restarted in a bootloop. And now it shows these msgs on re covery:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
I've tried wiping and reflashing to no avail. Any ideas?

Try flash stock and then flash the ROM you're using again.
Already did it, as said before. SBF, bootstrap, recovery and then the error appears.

Are you trying to restore a backup or flash the ROM completely new? After wiping my phone I had the same errors when trying to restore a backup, but it worked when I just flashed the ROM.
Hey guys.
Got a GT-I9505 and was trying to look at some custom ROMs to install, even thinking of giving the beta AOKP a go, but I ran into an issue.
I was first able to gain root access without much issue from the pre-installed firmware, worked through Odin like a treat, but after I went to install the CyanogenMod Nightly through CWM Recovery, the ROM wouldn't install. I noticed the Factory Reset through CWM and that there was an Error mounting the cache partition. I checked the mounts and only the system partition was mounted, I couldn't mount anything else.
So,after essentially bricking the phone, I used Odin and flashed the Stock Firmware back on and followed on as instructed. but the same thing happened again.
Any suggestions would be great. I have been looking at other devices to see if there had been any problems with mounting cache through CWM and to check if they had solutions, but I was coming up pretty thin with explanations. I was thinking if I format through Odin while flashing the firmware back on, that might help?
Thanks in advance, hopefully.
Tried a few more times.
third time clearing cache, the entire screen started to go more and more green.
fourth time made it reboot
fifth time just cant factory reset at all. its ridiculous.
I honestly cant say im doing something different.
Is there a way to break and actually force the cache to be wiped?
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
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
Argh. I don't understand why I cant access/wipe my cache. is this a recovery problem?
Okay, there may be a problem with the CWM recovery. I have been looking through a few of the threads and comments in particular with Philz touch CWM recovery, and It now works. but there stillseems to be a few problems popping up with installing aosp/aokp roms. backup and restore is working fine. cache/data wipe also working. but it's quite a pain for the whole process to get it to work.
ill post the threads in a bit.
here is the AOKP rom i was referring too

Please help me, it is quite urgent
Thanks A LOT in advance.....
Best regards, Simon

Go into CWM and or Rom Manger and find the option where it says "Ignore MD5"
or something to that effect and try restoring your nandroid backup with MD5 disabled.
The best thing you can do is download TWRP custom recovery for your specific phone's
model (i9505) and restore your nandroid backup using that, it's a lot better than cwm or
rom manager, and its also all "touch" and has large tabs to click on.
TWRP has the MD5 checking as an option which you cannot miss when you are creating
a nandroid backup or restoring one.
Good luck!
I am not 100% sure if cwm/rom manager has that MD5 option which
you can enable or disable. (I forgot, been so long since I used it).
I checked and I couldn't find an option to ignore MD5. Then I looked for it in google (for cwm). There I found, that a backup can be truly corrupted which could seriously harm the phone. Therefore I don't dare trying to restore my backup with another recovery...
Is there a way to fix the problem that cwm has? With beeing unable to mount or open the stuff I mentioned in my first post and therefore somehow hindering my system to start.
Thanks so far!
Wow, this is all really strange. I now formated chache (only works when cwm is rebootet in cwm). Then the errors do not occur again. Then I formated my data again, got stuck, shut my device on and tried again, then it worked. The same thing for installing cm. First try it gets stuck, second try it works....wtf..?
Well now it runs, but I am really not content with how it worked out...
