Can't flash rom and stuck in Clockwork 2.5.0.1

I rooted my 2.02 Evo
Every time I try to flash I get this
E :Can't symlink /system/bin/cat
E :Failure at Line 11:
Symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
Installation aborted
and I can't get into the rom I have on now. Every time I turn it on it goes to the HTC EVO white screen, restarts, HTC EVO white screen again and then goes into Clockwork.
Please help, I just got the phone 3 days ago

Try holding down the volume button down while holding the home button it should take you to a white screen. There use the volume key to scroll to recovery. Then click on nanadroid backup and click on your backup. If all else fails go to htc.com click on your evo then support and download the flash file. Flash your phone back to factory. You will also need to download HTC sync. Hope it helps.

So I followed this
FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO RELOAD YOUR ROM MOST LIKELY AFTER THIS SO YOU MAY WANT THAT HANDY AND COPIED TO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD. RESTORING A NANDROID MAY NOT WORK
1) Download File above PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

[Q] Can't get into recovery

Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him, It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and select recovery, the phone reboots and i see the HTC screen, this disappears after 2 sec and my screen turns black... (phone is still on beceause the buttons on the bottom are lighted.)
When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happen. Also flashed this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 Same thing happed...
So how can i backup my stock rom?
Many thanks in advantage!

Hello!
We have already faced this problem. We cannot find the reason why on some devices CWM is not working. It is characteristic for some devices. The decision is not found yet. We used all known methods for today, and all CWM versions (5.0.2.6 & 5.0.2.8), but are not present result.
Colleagues from 4pda.ru

You might try placing update zip on root of your sdcard and choose apply update from sdcard.
Too bad it doesn't have reinstall packages.

Thanks, to do what exactly? Use it to rename recovery file to update.zip and flash it that way?

[Q] Flashing boot img from stock to CM10-based ROM

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to flash "codename android jellybean" to my primoc one v.
I have it unlocked and rooted, thanks to xda. Where I get stuck is trying to flash the above ROM to the phone. I have put the ROM, gapps, and jellyboot5 into my SD card, then flashed those zips from clockworkmod recovery. I have put the boot.img I copied from the jellyboot5 folder into my fastboot folder on my PC.
My problem is that when I try to restart the phone from clockworkmod recovery into bootloader, the phone does the nexus animation, then goes straight back into clockworkmod recovery. I can't get to the white screen that gives me the option of choosing fastboot so that I can, in command prompt on my pc, flash the boot img.
I know I must be doing something wrong somewhere.

Hold and keep the power button for 10 second till the screen turns of and as soon as it turns off hold and keep the volume button.... to use see the fast boot...... other way is press and keep the power button and the volume down button for 10 to15 second
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

I was having the same problem I just re started and full wiped and then flashed everything then I used the tool kit to flash the boot.IMG I used to use my cmd prompt but I realized it wasnt even the right boot.IMG flashing as soon as I did the tool kit it worked. Good luck, trust me it did the same thing

I'm trying that but it just sends me right back to clockworkmod recovery. Can I confirm that I did the flashing steps correctly?
0) Wiped
1) flashed ROM
2) flashed GAPPS
3) flashed jellyboot
4) tried to restart into bootloader (but phone goes right back to clockworkmod recovery)
Did I make a mistake somewhere?

If you have ADB set up on your PC, From recovery plug in your phone bring up ADB. Type adb reboot bootloader
Don't try the button thing people have bricked there phone doing the button thing for too long.

Hey Im confused at what stage your at..
if i understand it you've flashed CM10, but *didn't* flash the CM10 compatible kernel... The Stock Kernel isnt compatible with CM.
If this happens one of two things will occur
1. The phone will hang on boot (aka softbrick)
2. the phone will go directly into CWM
I hit the same problem when I first flashed roms on the one v.
You basically need to reboot into the boot loader (flashboot) and flash the new (CM9) compatible kernel from there.
Alterntively if you get totally stuck use the "stockRRU" and recover your phone using that, (see thread on this)

That does sound like what my phone is doing. Initially it went straight into CWM, then it got further but would just hang on the colored "X" nexus animation.
At this point I tried to restore my stock nandroid, but even that wouldn't work, with the phone never getting off the "HTC quietly brilliant beats audio" screen.
As for flashing the correct kernel, was jellyboot5 not the kernel for this CM10 rom? And when I try to restore my stock (ICS) nandroid, does it matter that I've tried to flash a JB kernel, or is the stock kernel also restored?
Thanks for any help.

All right, tried that, phone is still endless stuck in the nexus colored X animation. Will wait another few minutes and then freaking go back to stock using RUU.
Edit: Holy s***, dude, you saved me. I was about to chuck the phone against a wall, until I read that you just did the entire process again, from wiping to flashing the rom, to flashing the boot image using the all-in-one tool. That did the trick. For about ten minutes I was seriously contemplating getting an iPhone. That's how dire this was. Thanks man!!!!!

dude,
ok I'll caveat this by saying I live in the uk so I have a GSM (primoU) not CDMA so I take no responsibility if this goes wrong.,...,
I'm guessing your using the rom in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927794
Reading the thread, here's what I think you should do the following
(Im assuming you've already flashed clockwork mod recovery)
Assumptions
1. You have already unlocked the phone using the HTC unlock procedure
2. You have already installed Clockworkmod recovery
Download the following :
- One All in one toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
- ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?ldhwd8vki17mbfe
- Kernel from http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/primoc/kernels/JellyBoot5.zip
- CM10 compatible GoogleApps (GAPS) http://cyano-rob.tuennerhoff-edv.de/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
steps
1. Copy the ROM onto the microSD, in a folder called say "rom", do not unzip it
2. Switch phone off by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds or so
3. Disconnect USB from the PC
4. Enter fastboot by first pressing and holding "volume - " and then pressing power button once and keep pressing "Volume - "
>>>>>> DO NOT PRESS "VOLUME+" <<< Important
The phone should reboot into fastboot
5. connect USB to PC
6. select fastboot (using vol +/- and press power)
Fastboot should now say "fastboot USB"
8. Unzip/install the All-In-One toolkit somewhere.. We wont be using it here, but installing this gives you fastboot/adb etc
9. Unzip the kernel from the kernel file, you should have a boot.img and put it in the kernels directory
9. cd <DirectoryOfAllInOneToolKit>/Data directory
10. Issue "fastboot flash boot Kernels/boot.img"
This should say something like sending boot.img, and then flashing boot.img..
11. Reboot phone with fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will bring you back to the fastboot screen, select recovery and that should bring you to Clockwork mod
12. select "install zip from zipfile", then choose-zip from SD Card, select your rom (zipfile) and say flash.
(hint : vol +/- go up down, and power selects)
13. When this is done, then install GAPS in the same way..
14. Finally you need to make sure all the caches and data is wiped. to do this enter the wipe menu and issue "factory reset/wipe data" and wipe dalvik cache
15. Finally select reboot and smile
That should be it! I O
Oh before i forget, the AllInOne package is cool, but as your in a semi brick situation and that all in one requires adb support Im not sure what it will do hence detailing the steps manually above.. For newbies this tutorial is still valid, but you need to unlock your phone first and install CWM . If you are coming from stock I would recommend using the all in one tool (above) GUI as it saves typing!
Hope this helps

I guess so, however you would need to check each different rom to be sure..
Also cybervibin is right, before rebooting the phone it is recommended to
- go into clockworkmod recovery, wipe menu and wipe data/factory reset
- also wipe dalvik cache

[Q] Cant flash CWM

I'm trying to get cwm recovery on my htc ove v VM. I have unlocked boot loader and rooted successfully. When i fast boot the recovery image, it says sending writhing and done. When I reboot and try to boot cwm it just stays on the htc screen with the red letters, is this normal? I should think not. I'm sure this has happened to someone else I just need a solution. Any advice would be great.

Hi
CWM is not recommended for CDMA AFAIK
Use TWRP for CDMA instead

I got CWM flashed using the android ultimate tool found on this site. Before that nothing worked. The only minor thing is that you have to scroll through the cwm menus three times to get to where you can select with the power button, but then it works fine. I've made my nandroid backup. But haven't flashed a rom yet... kinda nervous about getting into that one, But if you guys have any suggestions about STABLE roms, that would be helpful as well. Thanks,

[Q] Help finding my ROM's

Yesterday i rooted my HTC One V (CDMA) and downloaded the PACman all-in-one ROM, moved it to my sd card in my phone, but now i cant find it when i go to the bootloader. Am i doing something wrong or looking in the wrong place? I'm new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

You gotta reboot into recovery. When you boot into the boot loader you can use the volume keys to move to the word recovery, and the power key to select it.
That is if you have a custom recovery installed. Are you gsm or CDMA and do you have clockworkmod or twrp installed?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

It's a cdma. And I don't have either of those. But when i go into recovery, it stops with the red x. Are there settings I need to change?

you should check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598964
only follow the directions that say they are for cdma. i'm going to assume you didnt go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader, so follow that section too. Note: this will void your warranty with htc. dont worry about doing the superboot stuff, its not needed if your going to install a custom rom.
after you unlock your bootloader, follow the directions under "IMPORTANT" in the bottom of that post for cdma. ill give you a tip, after you install clockworkmod recovery for cdma, when you boot into recovery you will need to use the volume keys to scroll through the list 3 times until at the bottom of the screen it says something like "select button active." the power button is your select button.
after that, follow the directions for "how to make a nandroid backup?" this part is important. its saving a copy of your stock rom so you have it in case something goes wrong.
after you make the nandroid backup of your stock rom, use clockworkmod recovery menu item "mounts and storage" and wipe cache, data, and system. then on the main screen, use "install zip from sdcard" to install your aokp rom you downloaded and jb gapps.
select reboot from the main screen after that, and when the white htc screen with red letters pops up, hold power until the phone resets. once the phone resets, hold volume down. (do not hold volume up, it has the potential to brick your phone) if your bootloader doesnt come up and a black screen with red lettering pops up instead, hold the power button for roughly 8 seconds until your phone resets again, and once again hold volume down until you are in your bootloader menu.
you will need to install htc sync available here: http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
it contains the drivers your computer will need to use fastboot to flash kernels
use fastboot available inside the android sdk (which you need to set up on your computer, tutorial here: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/) to flash your kernel. the command to flash the kernel is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i'd recommend simon's supersick kernel available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024758 for use with aokp.
sorry if you already know some or all of this stuff, just covering all the bases. good luck!

only follow the directions that say they are for cdma. i'm going to assume you didnt go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader, so follow that section too. Note: this will void your warranty with htc. dont worry about doing the superboot stuff, its not needed if your going to install a custom rom.
after you unlock your bootloader, follow the directions under "IMPORTANT" in the bottom of that post for cdma. ill give you a tip, after you install clockworkmod recovery for cdma, when you boot into recovery you will need to use the volume keys to scroll through the list 3 times until at the bottom of the screen it says something like "select button active." the power button is your select button.
after that, follow the directions for "how to make a nandroid backup?" this part is important. its saving a copy of your stock rom so you have it in case something goes wrong.
after you make the nandroid backup of your stock rom, use clockworkmod recovery menu item "mounts and storage" and wipe cache, data, and system. then on the main screen, use "install zip from sdcard" to install your aokp rom you downloaded and jb gapps.
select reboot from the main screen after that, and when the white htc screen with red letters pops up, hold power until the phone resets. once the phone resets, hold volume down. (do not hold volume up, it has the potential to brick your phone) if your bootloader doesnt come up and a black screen with red lettering pops up instead, hold the power button for roughly 8 seconds until your phone resets again, and once again hold volume down until you are in your bootloader menu.

Thanks for all that! I already have the bootloader unlocked and I have the superuser. Should I take off the superuser? Or is the only thing I need to do is to get the clockwork mod and the nandroid backup? Thanks for trying so hard to help. I'm such a noob. Haha

K your off to a great start! Use fast boot to install a recovery, I'd suggest the one in the guide I linked for you. (Clockworkmod) Then do a nandroid backup. Don't worry about removing superuser, your fine with it there. After that you can do the rest of the steps I wrote for you in installing a custom ROM.
Use
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
To flash your recovery in fastboot.
Don't worry, we were all new at one point. I'm just glad you are eager to learn.

When I use fast boot to do a recovery, it goes to a screen with e picture of a phone with a green circle mde of arrows and an arrow in the middle, then it goes to a picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I'm assuming that means it can't find anything.

Sounds like you are seeing the stock recovery. That means you have to flash a custom recovery. (Clockworkmod)
This should help. androidlegend.com/how-to-install-custom-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-one-v/
Just make sure you use the primoc recovery. The primou is for gsm devices.

So to flash it I need to put it on my sd card and then find it in the fastboot menu of my bootloader?

i just tried to flash the rom and this is what happened
C:\Fastboot\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery AdbWinUsbApi.dll
sending 'recovery' (59 KB)... OKAY [ 0.928s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check
fail))
finished. total time: 0.932s

i figured it out and was able to succesfully flash the ROM, thank you very much!

Awesome. Hope you enjoy custom roms. Could you document your experience with unlock/root/recovery/ROM and help this guy out? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36363605
