Please help: G2 + Cyanogenmod 7 rc2 = my phone won't boot

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

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.

[Q] HELP!!! Stuck in Clockworkmod

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.

that's what I'm thinking too. I used to be able to switch ROMs and restore nandroid backups, but after updating to the latest clockwork I got the "can't mount /cache" errors and can't fix it now.

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.

[Q] Phone wont boot or install new roms

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.
Code:
--Installing: /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.3-glacier-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.3-glacier-signed.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted
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.

[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

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.
