[Q] Weird Recovery Stuff

I have some weird stuff going on and I was wondering if maybe someone could tell me what it means. My phone is running fine, in fact better than ever. But when I reboot into recovery mode, and before I apply update.zip and I am in stock recovery (blue), I get the follow message below all of the recovery options (error message is in red):
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
E Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid Argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st111
(Invalid Argument)
Then, when I do a backup through CWM, everything goes through fine and then I get this message:
Back complete!
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
When I go into CWM recovery, I do see a backup labeled with the correct date and everything, so I guess it is backing up correctly? Not quite sure what to make of it.
Ignore it.

I've had this happen and it happens when you have lagfix enabled and try to revert/odin back to a stock kernel (non voodoo) you'll need to follow the manual disabling procedure (of lagfix) by injecting an empty file named "disable lagfix" into the clockwork folder on your SD card then reboot. After that you should be clear to do a clean flash to get everything working properly. If you tried restoring right now it would probably give you an MD5 mismatch, and trying to flash from recovery would probably give you dev/block errors and it would cancel installation until you get your file system back in order.

OK that makes sense. I was flashing all over the place trying to fix that radio issue. Although I liked Add's answer better. Much more convenient

Do a NXT-L29 TWRP backup will resolve the issue ??

You can try to go back to stock rom with the rayglobes tool. Select "unbrick" section. It will flash all partitions to stock.

Try using one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/g920f-pit-file-banded-firmwares-t3118459 select the appropriate pit. Add it and dont change anything in Odin.
Am now having 10gbs free of internal memory!
Using twrp terminal for following commands
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
couldnt stat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3--- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
Found my old stock rom backup which I restored now my phone boots but storage is now 16gig, 10gig used by system and 5.89gig free... G920F baseband version G920FXXU3DPBT
