[Q] Stock Recovery Factory reset..

I have accessed my stock recovery and formatted or wiped my "Cache partition" without any problems. But when I choose "Wipe data/factory reset". There's an error coming up. Here's the log:
Android system recovery <3e>
Wipe Cache Partition:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete...
Wipe data/factory reset:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:Can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /data/cw.prop
E:Can't open /cache/cwpkg.zip
E:Can't open /cache/cw.prop
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete...
I believe that drive E:/ stands for my MMC right?, I've double checked it, file that being called on is not existing. Even the stock MMC doesn't have those files.
Could anyone shed some light regarding these files that are being called on?
Thanks.
P.S.
Just a guess, "cwpkg" means "ClockWork Package"?
Edit:
corrected typo..

[Q] Are the errors causing you any problems? or are you simply curious?
I wonder if you get this error if you perform a wipe cache before doing a wipe data/factory reset. Someone with more Android experience than myself might be able to confirm this???
But, perhaps the wipe data option performs its own wipe cache and as you've already done that it then can't find the files to delete??

Skanob: wrong. E: stands for Error:
i would try reflash the ruu

There's actually no problem.. It boots itself fine after wiping. It really doesn't matter what you choose first or last, my take on it is just whenever you choose the wipe the data. that certain "error" comes up.
But everything is A-ok.. So i guess you can say i'm just curious..

[Q][i9020T] Formatting partitions & installing a ROM

Hello, I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can and be clear about everything before I install a custom ROM. I have already rooted the nexus s.
The ROM I'm interested in is this CyanogenMod 7.
In their installation instructions it says
- Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
- Perform a factory reset.
From another guide (AddictiveTips) they just tell us to do the following
- Select wipe factory/data reset.
- Now, wipe cache and dalvick cache.
The xda thread tells us to format system, data, and cache partitions. But the AddictiveTips guide only seem to tell us to format the data & cache partitions.
So my question is, does the system partition automatically get formatted while installing the new ROM, or do you have to manually format it by going to mounts and storage > format system before installing the ROM?
Also, do you guys recommend to format all the required partitions by going to mounts and storage or by selecting wipe factory/data reset and wipe cache from the main menu? Thanks in advance.

...anyone?

Wipe factory/data reset (this will obviously also wipe the caches)
Install zip from SDCard (ROM)
Reboot.

[Q] Dalvik Cache Issue

Hello,
Whenever I try to flash on a new ROM I always wipe system/data. Then fix permissions. But whenever I try to wipe dalvik cache I get the same error (well.. at least I think it's an issue) every time,
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1k1p2
(File exists)
Davlik Cache wiped.
It did say that it wiped it, but it didn't mount.. any suggestions? Does it get wiped?
Thanks
Edit: Also should add that I had that this problem before and after odining to stock.. didn't think of that before.

[Q] Issue: Upgrading to Slimbean from SlimICS

I have been using SlimICS from some months now, opting to wait to update to SlimBean to allow the pros to work out the kinks. I have now decided to upgrade but having an issue. I wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache, formated and mounted system, mounted data. How ever when i try to flash Slim-i897-2.7.0-OFFICIAL i get error 0 and message to "format and mount system, mount data"
What am i not doing correctly?

HELP failed to unmount cache (device or resource busy)

at first im just failing at wiping cache.
now i cant even restore my TWRP backup.
it is saying "Failed to unmount '/cache' (Device or resource busy)
now my phone got no OS :crying::crying::crying:

I was facing the same problem.recovery twrp>wipe>advance wipe and then select system>repare or change size>change file system>select FAT
after doing it try to restore your backup and if you get error the only way flash your phone to the last build number(avalaible for your phone) and then install twrp recovery(last version).
restoring backup should be work with this method.

you can try this method
Mount>select partitions to mount : cache
select cache and after doing it go for restoring.

No need to restore /cache partition, exclude it The partition is used by TWRP that's why you can't unmount it.

I still have the same problem persisted. Can't wipe cache with this TWRP recovery. It says can't mount/unmont cache device or resource busy. Restore of the backup was impossible as well. Even when cache was excluded. Changing file types and repairing it also didn' work. In Mount cache is ticked permanently and it can't be unticked.
