I can't format /cache using STOCK Recovery - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm trying to erase cache using the stock recovery. But get stucks for ever at this point:
-- Wiping cache... -
Formatting /cache...
I'm using Recovery version: KOT49H
---
EDIT/UPDATE:
This is how i fixed this:
1) I flashed cache partition: Fastboot flash cache cache.img
2) I tried to format /cache until it get stuck for ever (again...)...
3) Manually rebooted and entered Recovery Mode again. (with a lot of fails regarding the mount of the /cache partition, can't mount cache blablabla).
4) Tried to format (the unmounted) /cache anyway...
5) Waited 1-2 minutes......
6) Format /cache is complete.
7) rebooted again to recovery mode and this time (like the 1st time) /cache is successfully mounted but now i'm able to format it without anydelays (Fixed)!

I need help with:

hello DEVELOPERS !
SO I need help with: -Format-signed.zip folder- when you flash it from recovery on Nexus One is DELETE everything (format /data /system /cache and /sd-ext) INSTEAD WIPE, unfortunately this FORMAT.zip doesn't working with Nexus S
Can some one rebuild this ? so it's gonna work for us?
YOU CAN SAY: I can go into CWR and select Mounts and manually format /data /system /cache and /sd-ext
TRY TO FORMAT and restart the phone....u phone gonna boot...+(sd-ext always gives error when u wipe, or format it)
after "my" format you phone gonna stack on boot loader....because it's nothing there !

I found what was the issue.
i was using paragon hd manager to create 3 partition. (fat32-1600, ext3-1000, linux-swap-540)
i try twice with this prg, still the same error when booting in recovery mode.
So i try with gparted software (linux based)
i redo the same partition and now the error is gone.
it seem that the partition was nor reconize correctly.

[Q] Unable to mount data partition read/write

Hey
I'm trying to change from Prime to Revolution ROMs, but during wiping, I seem to be hitting a problem. When coming to wipe /data, it says it can't remove bootanimation.zip. I'm trying to go in via adb and do this manually, but it won't seem to let me mount /data as read write.
I'm using adb shell while in recovery, and it isn't giving an error message, just constantly staying as ro. This is using clockword recovery 3.2.0.1.
Anyone know what else I can try?
Thanks for your help.
Do you want to give it a try with root explorer?
Forgot to mention, since I've tried wiping, it now just bootloops. Recovery is all I can get into.
edit:
Just to make it clearer what's happening, I'll do it step by step:
- Load recovery, and open adb shell on my PC
-Mount data in recovery, check it in adb shell and it shows it as read/write
-Go to delete a directory or file, and it say's it's read only, check mounts and it's gone back to ro
-If I unmount and remount, it will go back to being RW, but then the same as above happens.
-My problem is when I try to wipe or format in recovery, it gives an error saying it can't delete a certain file
Managed to fix it now. It appears that while using the Superwipe Full script for Revolution ROM, the file table got completely messed up. I used parted to reformat the data partition as ext2, and I can boot now.
I've managed to get that awful Rom (Destroyer) Manager off of my TF101G and have got Rogue on via PERI and now I'm trying to flash the stock ASUS ICS Rom but can't delete the Dalvik Cache because I'm unable to mount /data
Code:
- - Wiping all user data - -
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
Cache wipe complete.
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
Wiping dalvik-cache...
Error mounting /data!
I'm assuming that /data is stuck on read only?
Manually fixing permissions and then mounting /data also shows the same error.

HELP :crying:
I have the same problem. I know what lead me to it.
Its an Asus SL101
I have cyanogenmod correctly installed. In order to install a megatron rom I downloaded their app called megatron apps. Trying to download a rom from them I got validation error at end of download and I make the stupidity of change the download dir from /mnt/sdcard to /sdcard and then when I restart again it doesn´t load and CWM recovery give me the same errors (unable to mount /data or unable to mount /sdcard when cleaning cache or trying to restore a backup ).
The only thing I have been able to do its to install Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 instead of CWM 6.x ) but the problem to apply an update or restore a backup persists.
Any idea ?
Aaargh.
After a year and a half of heavy CWM and TWRP usage, this has suddenly happened to me too, possibly after flashing the updated TWRP blob from Goo Manager (although that's conjecture at best). My ROM (RaymanFX' CM10 v6) is fine in everyday use - no problems whatsoever, but now I want to update, and my recovery won't let me.
In the hope that something simply went wrong during recovery blob flash, I successfully deleted TWRP and flashed a different recovery (latest CWM) from ROM Manager, but the new recovery can't mount anything either - neither sd card, data, or cache. The error messages are more or less identical to TWRP's errors. My system MAY be readable, but I can't backup or restore or flash anything anyway, so I don't dare format it.
I don't have a Windows PC, so I haven't tried Easy Flasher. I could try it on my work computer if there's no way around it and if neither OSX or Ubuntu can help.
Any suggestions?
