CWM-based recovery can't mount cache - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have a problem with my recovery mode, at the bottom of the screen I'm getting a number of errors saying that my phone can't mount or open the cache folder. Can someone help me fix this? I have no idea what to do

I did a format on it and it worked for me

It OK just ignore it I'm getting the same problem to. It did go away for awhile but it came back when I tried the GB leak and after I reverted back to bionix with ext4 and the error came back. Trust me your phone is fine.

your partitions are messed up. you will need a pit file to fix this.
Yeah I lost the three button trick to get to cwm once I flashed the Gingerbread ROM and reverted back to KD1. the only thing we still have is Download mode. and the mounting errors I got in cwm althought they are not a big deal I just didn't wanna see them there anymore so I flashed the update.zip for cwm again. I rebooted the recovery after that and I no longer have those red letter in the recovery page.
Ill follow your.suggestions guys. I also cannot mount cache with cam though other mounts work fine. Is this apart of the same problem?

I got it to go away by odining a fresh kd1. But everytime you use the ext4 converter you will get that error.

After odining kd1 mounts are still acting funny, backup wont flash cache

If you have terminal emulator open it an type these two commands
SU <enter>
Mount <enter>
This will bring up alot of text but if you will read a little at the top it will tell you what mounts are what(ext4 or rfs) notice my system and data are ext4 but my cache is rfs that is the reason you see the error, give it time and a couple cache wipes in cwm and it should go away. On my last cwm session is when I formatted my cache and it went back to rfs as you can also see in the pic. So when your cache is ext4 you will receive this error till your cache returns to normal

Can you post a screen shot? Also cache is listed, it should be right below the data and system.

When I odind gb I used the pit. I don't know if that has any bearing on the situation. When I try to ext4 this room I get bootloops which must have something to do with my funky mounts.

Damn it looks like you have no cache. Try re-odining and if that doesn't help then you will have to do what chadster suggested and grab the pit for flashing kd1. BEFORE YOU DO THAT THOUGH HAVE YOU TRIED MOUNTING THE CACHE AND REBOOTING.(REMEMBER MOUNT MEANS UNMOUNT AND VICE VERSA)

If you look in the sgs4g bible there is a .pit there but you might want to pm a more knowledgeable person than me(like dsexton702 or mad_fitter)because I haven't had to use a pit. Just pm them and tell them your situation and I'm sure they will help you. Hope you get things going again and sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

[Q] Defy/Cyanogen cache problem

Hi,
I've installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my Motorola defy and it's working fine except one problem: I cannot download applications from the marketplace. The download starts but immediately disappears.
I'm thinking this is a cache problem? Clearing the cache for marketplace, downloads etc. didn't work. Neither did wiping the cache / dalvik cache in cw recovery.
When I open custom recovery in Clockwork I do see these lines:
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/clast_log
Could this be an indication of the problem? I'm pretty new at all this so help is appreciated
with the info you have given...based on that... if it were me i would reflash the rom and gapps and then try again. if it cannot flash again then its a sdcard issue. swap out put a working card in and confirm. just my thoughts.
did you have a working recovery before?

I've just tried reflashing the rom & gapps, but the problem is still here. Everything is working fine and I have all the gapps installed but when I want to download an app from the marketplace it doesn't work.
I don't think the sd card has anything to do with it? It used to work just fine on the stock Motoblur rom.

CWM not working?

OK! Im kind of confused. Rooted then flashed cwm, I flashed Smooth Maximus ROM Gingerclone onto the phone through cwm and now i cant get into it at all. When i boot to recovery i get the stock recovery, ive tried though quickboot, button combo, and rom manager and i get the same thing everytime. Any help would be appreciated. CWM 4.0.0.2
Don't use ROM Manager. It has the wrong CWM version. Use the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453
I'm not entirely sure that'll work if you've already flashed a ROM, so wait for an actual dev to chime in.
heres what i did when i couldnt get it to work
make sure ur rooted
download this
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip
extract the update.zip and ur gonna look for a file called recovery.bin
and get ahold of root explorer
place the recovery.bin on ur sd card and remember where its at
go into root explorer and find it and long press it and hit copy then go into the phone using root explorer and go into /system/bin and paste it dont delete anything or move files just overwrite it
then download this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12704578/sk4...eclickroot.zip
and unzip it on your computer make sure u unzip it if not it wont work
and double click run.bat and let it do its thing and itll reboot into CWM for you and go into install packages or something and voila
make sure you have usb debugging enabled
and id flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128657
this kernel then reflash your rom making sure to wipe it
this method working after countless hours of errors etc report back
second link 404'd
welp i pushed the update binary file in that first link then booted to recovery from quickboot and it booted into cwm. Thanks guys for the help
Ok nvm I can boot to cwm but I can't do anything with it. I just get errors. I'm really confused.

then you dont need to install update.zip
just wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
check mounts
flash rom
wipe dalvik
check mounts
reboot
Okay. Gonna give it a shot.

im pretty sure youre okay you can keep on going make sure you check your mounts before and after flashing
I select mounts and storage... and the only option is mount usb storage. I can't select a .zip from the sdcard.

thats really weird.... i dont know whats going on here?
there should be alot more under mounts and storage and the install zip should have 4 options in it!

Clockworkmod can't mount /sdcard....

I tried to flash a ROM but I couldn't because it couldn't mount /sdcard. I tried going into mounts and storage and doing it manually but it still would work. I am on cm9.
