Hi all
After a bit of advice as had a major (well in my eyes anyway) squeaky bum moment earlier. (I've had a quick search but can't see to find a reason, so sorry if this has been answered a 1000 times already)
Bit of background.
Desire is s-off with oxygen r2 h-boot table and I'm running oxygen 2.3.2 rom
And I decided it was time for a change and decided to flash a the latest dgb release and h-boot to get the full benefit of the rom.
So here is what I did.
Downloaded the rom and relevant h-boot table ans checked the md5 to ensure the download correct.
I wiped all user data
Used android flasher to flash the h-boot which worked fine and then tried to flash the rom
However when I booted into recovery I had the error in the title of this thread or something similar. (Cache : recovery file)
So I reflashed my h-boot back to the oxygen r2 table and used my nand recovery to get me back working.

So any ideas what went wrong and how I can avoid next time as I really want to try the rom and h-boot and I'm pretty sure I have just done something simple wrong

As I could still get to recovery and bootloader I knew the problem was not that large. But the first time something does not quite go to plan panic sets in so any advice is greatly welcomed.

Thanks
 
yes, after flashing dgbhboot you will need to do
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader

then boot to recovery and it should be fine

I knew it would be something simple, thanks for the quick response.
I will give it another go

Thanks again Rastaman-FB
once I had had a cup of tea and chilled out for 5mins I set about following your instructions and surprise surprise it worked
dGB h-boot sorted and rom installed......
Cheers
