Default Cant flash recovery

Earlier today my phone froze. I left it alone for a few minutes to see if it would sort itself out. That didnt happen so I pulled the battery out and rebooted. After having passed the htc boot screen I got stuck on they cyanogenmod boot screen. It constantly kept rebooting but it couldnt get passed the cyanogenmod boot screen. I tried flashing a recovery image with cwm but that didnt work as I got an error that said

"Error while erasing boot image!" followed by
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/ log
E:cant open /cache/ recovery/log
E:cant mount /cache/recovery/ last_log
E:cant open /cache/recovery/ last_log

Tried wiping data and cache and installing the newest version of cm7 through a zip and now I cant get passed the htc boot screen.

I was running the cyanogen 7 RC4 mod and did a perm root using the gfree method.

Another one? This is happening so much lately. It's frightening. :[
As far as I know, no one has found a solution or the cause. I have to assume it has something to do with CM.
Every story I've heard, people were running CM7. And they've all been G2s.
I'm personally just going to have to get a replacement through my insurance for $130. Or if I can find a good deal on a Nexus One on ebay, I'd love to do that.

Yea people been having this issue lately. I guess am not even going to flash any other rom right now, untill somebody finds out what's wrong. Really scary stuff. Another thing I saw with the people getting issue is the use gfree method. Well not saying that can be the caused. I hope someone finds a way to fix this.

Getting a bit scared that this error is popping up all over out of seemingly nowhere! I'm gonna be extra careful for the moment.

Did what wrong? It could be but I doubt it since it was running smoothly up until it froze on me.
