Hi guys. I wanted to install Kit Kat on my defy, follow instruction entered TWRP, nandroid backup, wipe everything except sdcard, install recovery, reboot and now I'm stucked in Android system recovery (3e) and dont know how to proced from here. I only have theses options:
1. Apply sdcard:update.zip
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
Under these it says:
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
When I apply sdcard:update.zip it says Faild to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory), which is normal as my update.zip is on /sdcard/ROM/update.zip.
I also tried to wipe cache partition but nothing happened.
Could someone help me?

Flash sbf. Root phone. Install cm10.2. Install update-recovery.zip. Install KitKat
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 4
Thank you for answers.
@leandrolutz - It was one that Quarx built, from 02.12.13 CM.
@thekguy - I had to flash SBF, now I'm on Android 2.2.2. I'll follow your instructions. Just have one question, should I install CWM or TWRP? I follow guide, in which I installed update-recovery.zip from TWRP after wiping all date except those on sd-card. then After that, I couldnt get into new recovery. Is this right order to update to KitKat?

SBF, root, 2ndinit. Then you install CM10 (4.1), reboot, install CM10.2 (4.3), reboot, install update-recovery.zip, REBOOT (without any wipe), install CM11 (4.4).
DO you want to use ART or DALVIK? :highfive:

You will need to use twrp, the one included with the respective build. From 4.3, you should flash recovery zip, reboot without wiping, and from recovery you should be able to flash kk
There's a button dedicated to thanks

Thanks all for your help. I installed 4.3 and after that flashed recovery where I made a mistake and wipe dalvik cache after instaling (did this before yours answers):crying:. After restart, I couldnt enter twrp recovery (as soon as I enter defy restarts), only bootmenu and stock recovery from there. Luckily I havent wiped system so I still have 4.3 installed. Then I tried to install recovery from GooManager (didn't make it), stock recovery where I get message: "Failied to verify whole-file signature. Signature verification failed. Installation aborted".
Is there any way to install twrp without having to do all from the begining (sbf, root...)?
Hey guys, problems again. Didnt find way to install recovery so I decided to do all steps (sbf, root, 10.1...) again.
First I entered bootloader, connected usb, RSD lite and flashed same sbf as I did few days ago. Unlike last time, this time it wont flash, RSD did his job (erasing flash memory, flashing code group...) and when it comes to reboting, in RSD is written finished, but defy didnt turn on, not even motorola logo on screen. Take out battery, try to get into stock recovery and bootloader (volume down and up+power on), but still nothing. Then tried other sbf, 3 od them (retail French) but same thing happened every time, dead screen). Only thing that points that tel.is alive is white led that turns on when I connect it to PC.
I cant understand why 2 days ago when I flashed sbf, everything was fine and this time it refuses do complete. Only difference is that this time it was installed Android 4.3 and last time 4.2.2.
Any suggestions.
If your current sbf isn't working, try dfp 231 or a sbf newer than your current one. It should get you at least to stock recovery, from where you can wipe data and revive your defy.
From 4.3, just flash update recovery, don't wipe or flash anything else. Reboot, and enter recovery once again. Now install 4.4 and it should work
Although, that should not have occurred just by dalvik wipe. Make sure the 4.3 build you use is recent
FYI you could have fixed recovery by extracting and overwriting bootmenu folder from zip

Hey thekguy, thank you very much. I managed to revive my defy with 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE and now I'm using Android 2.3.6. I'm reading another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820282 where it says that after flashing 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE, it should than be flashed with rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF.
Should I also flash this second SBF or go directly to 4.3?
Thanks again.
Root with framaroot, no need for 2nd sbf

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

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,
Sorry for my english... Well. I had my A200 rooted (french tablet, ICS stock with bootloader 0.03.06-ICS), with CWM recovery and CM9 installed.
Everything seemed like to be ok. I wanted to flash a CM10 rom, so i went to recovery, did a full wipe... wait. Can't wipe data. Actually, recovery fails to mount data. Some fail and some crash : I tried CWM, Thor and TWRP recovery...
So, i've access to fastboot, i can flash recoveries but i can't wipe data from the computer too : I get Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008) in fastboot. Same with manual factory reset.
I'm stuck in bootloader since three days. I don't know what to do. I'm not a power user but I did tweak some Android devices... it's the first time i get error in fastboot. I guess the tablet isn't totally bricked.
I can wipe dalvik cache, battery stats, flex. It fails with data and cache.
Might you help me to flash a ROM or something ? I'll give you all information you would need.
Thank you for your response...
Hello xda. Not a newbie, but i am suffering from a strange problem.
My Cwm recovery seems to have been corrupted after trying to flash CM7.2 rom. I can't restore my nandroid backups, & can't flash any other rom. My stock recovery too shows following errors:
last log/dev/block
E: can't mount cache,
E: can't mount system & bla bla...
Anyone knows any fix for this?????????
the best is to flash a firmware complete new with odin.
Follow the instructions on cm7 thread
once you flash percys kernel you will get mount errors
just format system data & cache in cwm as you need an ext system partition

if you want to using cm7...you must format data...system..cache in recovery...then flash kernel and flash rom
else you go to download mode and flash stock rom with odin

once you install the cm7 kernel you will get mount error because your file system is rfs
try to convert it with ext4 converter and that should by fix the mount error them flash the cm7 kernel and rom

Did you try deleting CM and GAPPS and redownloading? Maybe try a nightly or newer/older version. I had this happen to me with another rom, flashed a different version then flashed the most recent and it all went well. Hope this helps!
thanks for your answer but i figured out it was twrp.
somehow i was able to sideload philz latest cwm and was able to flash successfully cm11 and gapps
