Help! CWM not installed properly?! Bricked devices?

Hi folks,
5 day ago i rootet my tablet 16GB WE and installed Koshu`s CWM step by step like discribed in his threat [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831161]. At the end there was an error message..., i was too quick and made an reboot bevor i could read it.
But i tested if i rooted the tablet succesfully and the superuser-app said that i am root now....
Then i installed the v.0.8.1 Version and everything was fine!
a few days later i got reboots during normal use.
Now i cant boot in the OS, there are bootloops the hole time.
I think that i have not installed the CWM correct...
Any ways to check this with adb commands or something else?
It would be great if someone could help me....
Sorry for my bad english!

You can still boot into CWM? Well you could make a backup of the installed recovery (like shown in the CWM thread) and check if the md5sums are equal to the downloaded image. Btw. linebreaks in the logcat would really help reading it

yes i can Boot into CWM, but i cant restore my backup. I tried to install cm10 clean again but after rebooting CWM and booting the OS Android is updating the apps. But i did a full wipe bevor.Thats why i think that the CWM is not in an good state.
i am in the road and maybe i can later check the md5sum.
I can attach an picture from the CWM during trying formating and fixing permissions.
thank you!

Problem solved

I linked a zip file in the CM10 Thread that formats the data partition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846044
You can find it in the "addition steps" section. Beware that it will delete all your personal data including the internal sd-card (also nandroid backups if you have stored them on the internal sdcard). So make sure you have EXTERNAL backups if you want to keep some of the data.

I have nearly the same problem.
I rooted my TPT a few weeks ago, today I was reading about Cyanogen and decided to install CWM. After some issues with the adb drivers, I managed to install the clockwork recovery.
Now I followed the steps from the cm-thread. I did a nandroid backup and wiped my tablet. After that, I flashed CM10. But all I get is the CyanogenMod logo spinning around.
I tried to go back to my nandroid backup, but it seems broken somehow.
I also tried several several CM-versions and downloaded them several times, without success. But I realised, that the installation procedure of CM was very quick, too quick maybe? Could it be that my clockworkmod isn't installed correctly, because the installation of CM and the nandroid backup won't work.
I hope you guys can help me out. Because I only could find nandroid backups for ROW and US version. I also don´t have adb access anymore.

But how can formatting my data partition help? You mean after a format, the installation of cm would work?
And how do I use the .zip, just flashing with cwm?

You have to download the formatdata.zip on your external sd-card.
After that you can boot in the recovery and flash this .please dont juse the cwm! Do you know how to boot into the recovery?
Power on and during that you should drop-down the volume + key a few seconds.
This helped me and others.

Here is the photo.
I was thinking about 2 possible solutions right now.
1. get another nandroid backup (Problem didnt see any for the 16gb WE version)
2. try no reflash another CWM version or maybe ventana cwm and try again to flash Cyanogen (don't know if its possible to just flash another recovery as an image with the current working recovery)
So what do you guys think?

Ottilooping -
You were running ICS before flashing to CM, right?

That looks good!
My suggestion: Flash the formatdata.zip and than install the last v0.9.2 from koshu located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846044
I was coming from ics too.

Problem solved. CM is running. Thanks for your help, exspecialy to you tpauli.
The formatdata.zip was the key
One last question. I am using the folio keyboard with an european layout (qwertz), but with Cyanogen it is us layout (qwerty). How can I change this?

[Q] LG P700 custom roms problem

Hi guys,
I have tried to install to my p700 new kitkat custom rom, but every time i install it, it says: e: cannot write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/.last install_path.....
i have tried to make clockworkmod folder and put rom and GAPPS in there, i have tried, cyanogenmod, prime mod, slimkat and some other i dont remember... i also try not to care about that message and just rebooted to system, but it stays in boot loop.
I am starting to feel this phone hates me because i cannot install anything to this phone, i ever "accidentally" was able to install 4.3 cyanogenmod, but it started to be so laggy and my wife got frustrated with it...
Any ideas?
EDIT: my cwm is latest phillz

put rom and gapps in sd card wherever and install, what the **** where you trying to do?

ok, so i have tried to install many different kitkat roms to my p700 but all of those installs ends to an error: e: cannot write to /sdcard/clockworkmod/.last install_path.
If i just ignore that and reboot to system it just stays in boot loop.
edit: after install it say install complete but then there is that error too

TWRP won't allow me to flash other roms

Hey I have this huge problem with TWRP. I wiped the usual files, and then tried to flash a rom. It said ERROR: failed to update binary zip or something like that. FYI, I installed Multi Boot and have two roms installed. I tried uninstalling the secondary rom and wiped the phone, but still no luck. I even used multiboot cleaner and it still says the samething. Help?

Which version of twrp is on the phone?

Use another recovery

use CWM its way better than TWRP!

Use 2.8.7 version of twrp. Many ROMs need twrp.
