Please help me with my HTC one v (virgin mobile)

My htc one v (virgin mobile) (no simcard) (i think is CDMA) is not installing any backup recovery program no matter how many times i try to install it.I installed ROM Manager after unlocking bootloader and installing the CDMA version of root. After rooting it i finally clicked install the CWM from the ROM Manager. Everytime that i try to boot into recovery or make a back up it either freezes at the HTC screen which has red lettering that says that i shouldn't distribute htc stuff but i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I've followed many tutorials but i don't know why this is happening. I downloaded rootchecker and checked to see if i was rooted and it said that i was. I have SuperSU and everything. What am i doing wrong and how can i fix this so i can enter recovery mode to make backups so i can flash various roms? Please help me. Thank you

You need fastboot flash to install the recovery. Installing the recovery thru ROM manager may not work.
Here you can have link to the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31868324&postcount=4
You need to boot your device in fastboot mode (same way like you first unlock the bootloader) then run command
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery,img

Why would you use odin?? Why not use Gnex toolkit?? never used odin but with the toolkit i can 1 click root, flash recovery, etc etc etc :good:
you can try booting into bootloader download toolkit and factory reset your phone then root it and install recovery, download a AOSP 4.2 ROM and flash it via recovery

Ok i just used the pit file with odin to get into fastboot mode... from there on i downloaded and installed the factory imgae from google. Now i could boot into Android. But i can't access fastboot mode by default by pressing Volume_Down and Power. The Gnex keeps on booting in odin mode.
This way it is not possible to root the Phone again and apply a custom recovery. How do i set the phone to automatically boot into fastboot?

Because you have to push Vol - / Vol + / Power !

To enter Fastboot you need to hold down BOTH volume keys (up and down) along with the power button.

[Q] Cannot get out of boot animation nor flash by odin or fastboot - Help please

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I have a GNex on my hands.
While I received it to fix; I could not get it past a bootloop from the nexus 4.0.4 Boot.
Problem is I cannot seem to get past the boot animation screen nor upgrade it.
Tried flashing another bootloader via fastboot, and the bootloader does not change, stays in same version.
HW Version : 9
Bootloader version : PRIMEKK15
Baseband version : I9250XXKK6
I proceed doing a fastboot erase bootloader and trying another bootloader, rebooting into another bootloader but no luck
Tried also ODIN flash but no luck; stays into the same
Booting into recovery mode goes into stock recovery and tries to flash a file from /cache
By trying to flash CWM via fastboot flash recovery <cwm image> flashes image but no luck on booting into CWM.
Anbody can lend a hand please?
Thanks!

You can flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Then you can acces the custom recovery and adb push your ROM and gapps. Then you do the wipes and flash the ROM and gapps. If you dont understand anything you just have to tell me

Thanks mrgnex. I've tried flashing TWRP, but the only thing it does is boot into stock recovery and tries to flash a file from /cache/, which file is: 5a81769b6d01.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-ICL53F.5a81769b.zip; pretty weird. Issue is the same as this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909331&page=4

use: fastboot boot recovery.img

and "recovery.img" which recovery do you suggest? twrp or a CWM in particular?

doesnt matter. whichever.

While now I'm trying to install latest TWRP (already did and no luck) I'm downloading the pack from the "Have you read this?".
The things that I'm seeing right now that seem to be wrong are:
1 - everytime I reboot the phone, the "fastboot oem unlock" seems to be gone and phone re-locks again (weird!)
2 - every change I make to the filesystem, seems to be non-persistent I/E: push something via adb push and on reboot it's gone! :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate on why exactly you were not able to install TWRP?

Surely:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot erase recovery (exits with ok)
3 - fastboot flash recovery twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
4 - reboot w/power+vlup+voldown and select reboot recovery
5 - stock recovery appears
an alternate method that i've tried:
1 - Unlock via fastboot oem unlock
2 - fastboot boot twrp_versiondoesnotmatter.img (exits with ok)
3 - TWRP boots and flashes a zipfile from /cache/ then reboots automatically
That's what happens. A mistery, huh?
Also I've tried OMAP Flash, and; the same issue happens over and over again

Have you tried doing a factory reset using the stock recovery?

AFAIK, Yes
What happens once I start the stock recovery; as I've already stated; starts flashing a zip file located into /cache/ (5a81769b6d01.signed-yakju-IMM76I-from-ICL53F.5a81769b.zip); then bleh, starts the bootloop again.
I've tried the power+volup then selected wipe cache and wipe system and it's the same.

Did you try flash google's stock images (all of them) ?
Also try flashing TWRP in the boot (kennel) partition by :-
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path to twrp>.img
This will force the phone into Recovery (But you will have recovery bootloop , can be solved by flashing a kernel) .
when you boot into recovery install a Kernel and ROM . also you will lose the recovery after that .
You can flash the TWRP from the TWRP itself (to put it in the right partition) by (in the build in terminal) :-
Code:
dd if=/<path to twrp in SD>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Good Luck .

fastboot flash boot <path to twrp>.img does not boot the recovery . I mean; still boots the normal Kernel.
Actually I'm trying what TheMysteriousOne told me by downloading the stock Gnex zip (250Mb) to flash via Odin.

Ohh, bad luck strikes again:
<ID:0/011> system.img
<ID:0/011> Complete(Write) operation failed.
cannot write system.img :/
Any ideas?

Unlock your bootloader with omapflash. Although even if it does unlock, Your emmc/board probably has died.

can you please me guide how to do the omapflash?
I've downloaded a file called OMAPFlash_tuna.zip.
- Set battery of the device aside
- Plug device into USB, let it detect the device and flash the SBF I think.
That'd be all?

Pardon me, if EMMC/Board is dead; why does it boot or get into bootloop? There is something that reflashes itself; it even overrides odin or heimdall...

Have you tried going back to completely stock using the method outlined here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
