I have an LG G2 D800 with Cyanogenmod on it right now, and Clockwork Mod for my recovery. When booting into CWM, it gives me these errors:

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/last_log

Also, when in the OS (in Cyanodenmod), when I plug it in, it won't let me drag any files onto it. The Google Play Store keeps on crashing too. What I want to do is just flash a new recovery, then wipe away CM and start it again. It's kind of hard right now though because I have no idea how I can get the files on my phone to do this, any help will be appreciated.

Trying to download anything through my browser just makes the browser crash, I'll try the first method though, thanks

Yeah I tried both methods. Does this have anything to do with it? When I type in 'adb devices', I see my phone, but when I'm in adb shell, when I type in 'adb devices', it doesn't find anything.
EDIT: I found out I was able to install goomanager onto my phone, looks like I'll try that method instead
EDIT again: Looks like goomanager can't find the recovery to install on my phone, and I've tried installing both flashify and rashr, but it won't let me, ugh this is such a pain, I thought I was close

Is your "usb debuging" on?under developpement setting?
i found an automated script for adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2472223
Adb should work
If not ,and if any apk can flash your recovery, u have to back to full stock
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476.
Then re root,reflash recovery etc....
How did u flash your strange recovery?do same but with twrp.img or a philz_touch.img
Look for thread about both, there is some 'how to install'.
I hope to be clear my language isnt english.

Thank you so much, the BAT file worked! But now I still have the same problems I was having with CWM, as in that my cache won't wipe, and my USB won't mount either.
EDIT: Nvm, wiping the cache in TWRP fixed it, I think I can figure out what to do from here on out, THANK YOU SO MUCH THOUGH
