Hello, I've got a problem with my Nexus One. I'm trying to install different ROMs without success, like cyanogenmod10, AOKP and few others, but I always have the same error:

Installing update... symlink: some symlinks failed ... (Status 7) Installation aborted
I did prepare my Nexus One:
1. It's rooted;
2. It's uses BlackRose HBOOT that's makes my phone s-offed;
3. Installed busybox so I could do fix permissions.

I did format sdcard for assurance too.

I use ROM Manager by ClockworkMod for installing custom ROM. Before installing any ROM I do data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, dalvik cache.

Anything that I do don't helps me to install ROMs. I've read a lot of manuals/forums posts, but nothing helps.

Thanks for help, Yuriy.

Yes - I did try to use ClockworkMod recovery.

I think you could use a TWRP recovery mode
