Root CWM recovery broken on htc hero S (same as Design 4G)

Hello,
I recently rooted&unlocked my bootloader on my Hero S (basically same phone as the Evo Design 4G, and installed Evervolv (4.2.2, 4-7-13 nightly) and my phone is running the ROM fine and everything, but when I reboot into recovery (2FS kingdom CWM Recovery v5.0.2.8) I get a series of errors. These errors started appearing after I made a backup with ROM manager.

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

I can't do anything in CWM such as install packages, flash roms, factory reset, etc. As of now my phone boots into Android 4.2.2 just fine. I manually installed all the gapps to the system folder, so I have all the Google services. I've also tried re-installing CWM with H-boot and re-naming the file PH44IMG, but when H-boot reads the file it says "CID incorrect! Press power to reboot."

So basically I have a working phone, but if I need to re-flash or restore a backup I am screwed. Any ideas how to fix this?
I also have everything important backed up, so data loss is not a concern.
 
Update:
I looked in my CWM zip, and I found the CID was actually for Sprint phones(my bad haha), so I changed it to US Cellular's CID and I was able to re-install CWM using h-boot again. Then apon reboot, the errors were still there. I was able to clear the cache in CWM and once I rebooted the errors were gone! Now I can install .zip files without a problem. This whole situation was strange, but I'm just glad my phone is working again. ;)
