Please help: G2 + Cyanogenmod 7 rc2 = my phone won't boot - G2 and Desire Z General

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
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...

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.

adb logcat just says "waiting for device" forever.

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.

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

I rooted my hero using Universal Androot - v1.6.1
I had fun playing around with it but now I want to upgrade the CM6 ROM. When I go to flash the radio in the recovery mode (Home + Power)
I get:
Code:
"Android system recovery <2e>" at the top
restart option
flash via update.zip
Factory wipe
clear cache
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
If I put the update.zip in the root of the SD card and try to upgrade I get an error stating that the signature is not correct.
I am running software 2.27.651.6
Am I having this issue because I am running the updated version.
Do I need to revert to 2.27.651.5 ?
What am I missing here?
Anyone have any ideas?
I have the same problem. Anyone have some ideas?
You have to flash a custom recovery. Easiest way, go to market and download rom manager, in the app there is an option for flashing clockwork recovery.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Help

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?

yeah that's what I am going to try to do. Seems as though it's an issue with clockwork we'll see. I guess if I unroot it works again. Hopefully a fix will be discovered soon.

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 think you may be on to something there. the combination of RoyalGinger and the latest clockwork seem to have bricked my phone, I'm getting the "can't mount /cache" errors on clockwork.

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.

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

sounds like its dead or a bad root. once you get it back running i would unroot and use the visionary method to root and flash using the clockwork.
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. I've rooted over 100 mt4g's and ran into this issue myself and was trying to help out with what worked for me.

[Q] Please help me, error while flashing

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone
I have a quite similar problem.

Thanks to the previously backup I can use may phone as usual.

Does you disabled the usb debugging before flashing?
Yes I do, but nothing change,
Thanks
if I'm not mistaken the last release of 2nd init is not compatible with defy. Try to check this on the development forum. I hope I have been of help.
I'd tried with both 1.0.7 latest and 0.6.1.
With latest, the phone is blocked.

What do you mean by "stable recovery"? You talk about version 0.6. of 2nd init or something else?
Can you show a step-by step procedure?

However, which is the procedure to un-root a defy+ and to have it with the original, fresh system?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem.. Trying to find a solution but is quite difficult. First I thought it has something to do with the partitioning, as stated in THIS topic. But, in THIS topic, people say that partitioning the SD card is not necessary at all..
@Cretu22: Yes stable recovery is CWM 0.6
Don't install stable recovery! I too faced this issue when I flashed using stable recovery. In snd init install Latest recovery and then try flashing your ROM. That should work..
I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

Yes, its working Pressing the volume down button was not necessary with 0.6.7, that was what went wrong. Now the zips installed like a charm
i know the answer and is very simple
the problem is that you cannot create that specific folder.... because it already exist, cmp (connected music player) creates it, just delete it from SD and done!

[Q] What did I do?

okay, recently got a new RAZR M (glass on the camera cracked on the old one. +1 best buy insurance)
stock was running 4.1.2 and the kernel was the April version AKA didn't have the new update on it.
went ahead rooted/unlocked bootloader and installed CWM as my recovery, all things were well.
I tried flashing PACman ROM (two different versions) and both get stuck in the loading screen, almost like they're bootlooping but, I don't think they were. The newer version gets stuck in the loading PACman, and the older version replays that "game over insert coin PACMAN ROM screen." it isn't a choppy as most bootloops I've encountered, just looks like it's trying to load and it can't.
I then tried Carbon ROM and same deal, would get stuck on the Carbon boot animation and would just sit there
I feel like it has something to do with my CWM because whenever I go to wipe my data etc. I get a couple errors.
first I get whenever I click the power button to go somewhere IE. the go back button or go to advance setting etc.
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
then when I wipe data/factory reset I get the following two errors while wiping:
error mounting /data
skipping format
and
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
skipping format
When I hit wipe dalvik cache, nothing happens. It acts like it clicks something but there's no script telling me it does anything.
When I try and mount sdcard nothing happens.
I'm flashing the latest GAPPS also
If anyone could let me know what I can do to get my phone to boot that would be awesome. Haven't had a working phone since mid yesterday and I kind of need it.
thanks for the all the help.
EDIT: trying to flash CM10 and I get nothing. It just hangs on the unlocked bootloader warning.

The only problem I have with RSDing is that A) the newer RSDlites wont install on my computer and B) I can't remember how to get into RSD mode lol
last moto phone was the X2 and that was a little while ago.
Currently nothing is working. I tried using matts utility to go back to stock stuff, but that just made it so nothing loads. I sit looking at the "unlocked bootloader" warning literally forever. I also don't have CWM any more, whenever I go into recovery it has the android with the red triangle and I'm not sure how to do anything in that.
I'm thinking sbfing (or xml-ing now?) and starting over is my only hope to get it working again. I'll just need to find a computer RSDlite likes lol
and I was on whatever CWM was in the post about how to root/unlock bootloaders and then install recovery post.
edit: finally got into the stock Recovery menu, it's reaaaaaally picky about how you press the keys
SUCCESS
TWRP GOT IT LOADED
Thanks for the help guys, it took forever but it's all good now
however, when I finally load up the ROMs two things that I noticed before I immediately flashed another one. On PACman and Carbon the home button didn't do anything and AOSP keyboard closes no matter what everytime,
Now I'm on CM10.2 and it's pretty sweet. Not super smooth (yet) but other than that everything is working great. It's CM, it'll get better haha

TWRP usually causes those problems in my experience.
OP, try doing an RSD, then installing the recovery via fastboot again, then try wiping data. Which version of CWM are you using?

You were saying? *sorry that's a bit dickish, but it did work*
In MY experience CWM caused these issues. Idk what the difference is between their mounting/flashing methods but I've always found TWRP > CWM

Use official latest 4.3 gapps. The modified gapps have issues. Matter of fact, all the 4.3 ROMs have issues which you will most likely run into very shortly.
This is why I stick to my current DD in my sig.
