Has any one has successfully rooted their htc salsa? Forum experts please come up with a way to root this device, htc phone with out rooting is a waste device, now I regret for buying this phone
i think alot of people are trying to find a way to do this
need some patience i guess
there's a way to s-off it right now with xtc clip and just need to get to the next step towards rooting it
if you happen to find out any information or news on rooting this device do share it on the forums
sure mate, I've tried to root with ginger break but in vain...........I would surely post it here as soon as I succeed in it..................I need to root it asap other wise I would not be able to make most of this phone Unless I root this device
yeah i can share your sentiments
my girlfriend is getting so frustrated with the phone everyday with it's low memory pop out notifications
i've tried several ways highlighted on different forums and for different forums to root the phone but none have yielded success
sigh
hopefully someone soon will be able to make a breakthru
there are a couple of us trying different methods out as we speak lol....its annoying me too...went from a Xperia X8 running GDX to this salsa lol....lucky my son still has it so i can still play lol.
all i can suggest is a little patience maybe lol

Me and sdavies08 both have an xtc clip which is required to get s-off. If u haven't got one, search for xtc clip and get one. As from there it become avaliable to root the salsa.

XTC Clip
official Usagae is here
XTC Manual
gdavies08 has successfully s-off and rooted his Salsa.
i am in the middle of doing this, getting s-off is the hard part.
check out this thread!!! for all the info.
as for tutorial for getting s-off and root, please give us time to get it done and written out for everyone to see!
I will put together a guide some point over the next few days, will be hard to show exactly how to s-off as mine is already done, hopefully the guide i put together will help out anyone using the xtc clip though,

Hey guys,
As you may well know, the Wildfire isn't the only phone that has been put through "HTC's All Purpose Anti-Hack Machine". The HTC Thunderbolt is massivly locked down as well, however I just read an article that details how to root it already. Now I'm no expert, so hence I'm posting it here so that others can have a look. Is this worth anything?
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: http://www.androidguys.com/2011/03/20/htc-thunderbolt-rooted/
*EDIT*
New article found that doesn't mention emmc - any better?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/
htc wildfire has no emmc, so the exploit isnt valid for it
Ok, was just a thought anyway.

i had this idea too, but i decided to ask the ones who developed this exploit, if it could be possible to port it to a wildfire, buth they explained me there was no way, as our phone hasnt eMMC
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/
That is very similar to the first article, however it doesn't mention eMMc? Would this help anyone at all?
I doubt
well in my eyes this guide just looks like the downgrading we already are able to do, problem is that it will not touch the Hboot at all... and that's where the main problem is because of the new Nandlock.
The only way is an xtc clip..... I can say it works very good and easy. If someone is interested in an in the Netherlands...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
Yes I know all about the clip. I'm just looking into how they rooted the Thunderbolt as it has similar lockdown's on it to the Wildfire.
we all know about the xtc clip, why people keep on spamming about it? theres already a thread all about xtc clip unlocking the NAND!
I am just giving another possibility...........and i can not know what other people know

I haven't tried it yet because I can't afford to mess up my wildfire. Also, the misc.img might be specific to the Thunderbolt.

Can anyone try this out? Or will it just not work at all?
sure
Yeah sure I'll try it out later. And yes the misc.img is specific to the device, as I said before these steps looks a lot like the downgrading process we already have achieved, sadly as I said it doesn't affect the Hboot.

If you try it out make sure to tell us where you end up! Perhaps we can still downgrade the hboot.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
We spoked about something similar here. Unfortunately we didn't manage to downgrade.
The method used to root Thunderbolt is similar to the method used to downgrade Desire Z. I think if someone with more knowledge will help we might be able to adapt this methods to wildfire.
Already started looking into a lot of methods which could be possible... looking at exploits for the fs security atm
By "fs" do you mean filesystem? And this method *should* be adaptable I think although don't hold me to that.

Yes by fs I mean filesystem. But also known as nand lock
Hello ... bought incredible s online which is s-off.... but when i look in the forum, i read that s-off for this phone is still on the way !!!! And if i flas the ruu's will i loose root ..?
May be you lost S-off if it is done by xtc clip why dont you try custom roms which have sence 3 better than officall sence 2 roms
ill give that a try..., actually i have s-off but lost root.. dont know why? which custom rom are u using and can u recommend one for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088498
this is one of the best roms not so many custom roms to chose from because many users are still s-on may be after s-off release you will see bunch of good roms
wow ur really lucky to get it s-off out of the box
Yeah...but its not rooted and the recovery is in an other language ;-)
So use gingerbreak to root it and use rom manager for the latest recovery ^_^

Rather than looting half of London, I spent my time giving something back to the Android Community.
I've compiled this guide on how to root the HTC Legend vodafone. It's pretty simple in my opinion and I've tried to make it as easy to use as possible. I have included a lot of images and started right from the beginning.
List of Guides:
How to root the HTC Legend [H-BOOT 1.00]
How to un-root the HTC Legend
Advice on choosing ROM's

I think I've added in all the credits, but if I haven't then please tell me. I'm also making more guides for noob Android users.
Thanks for using the guide, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
N.B. Guides have since been taken down due to newer methods of one-click rooting.

I just rooted a day before you posted and believe me this are the steps I followed...and woo..its rooted
I hope this post is made a stickied
Very nice, and lots of pics! It should help a lot of people out.
Thank you. When I tried to root my HTC Legend, I couldn't find a proper guide, so I thought I'd make one to help other people out.
Hi Thanks i just swap my iphone with htc legend from my gf and planning to root the phone. this would be my only guide, hopefully no issue will happen and i will report back. the guide looks good and simple but the only thing i find is, TOO many files needed. maybe i can combine all of them and put in 1 place to help other newbies !
but i still shock to see number of files i need to root an android ! and the files are sooo big aswell ! different from iphone, you just need a website or 1 software to jailbreak it hehehehehe - relax im an android fan boy now !
Every Android device has its own rooting method. The one of the Legend is really long; but don't worry. It's not that hard as it seems. Also this guide is really good!

Error 140 means that you need to re-create the GoldCard. Your phone must also be connected as, "Charge Only". You could also try plugging your phone in another USB port. Also check that you have AndroidSDK installed.
Added another guide with some advice on choosing ROM's. I'm also working on a simple un-root guide.

Hi! Thank you for posting such an amazing guide! But one problem that I am experiencing though, is that why are the images unable to be viewed?

Thing with that is you can get an xtc clip now and get your phone to s-off along with unlocking and rooting, the more pricey phones that are done so quick are based around a different type of phone but with better specs but the salsa is not, it takes time, there is a few people on here that are working on them now, just a game of waiting.
reply
yaa u are right,but xtc clip is very expensive to buy,almost 1/4th cost of mobile,and near my place there are no mobile tech guru's who could unlock my salsa!
so eagerly waiting for unlock tool!!!
dude i paid over £300 for my salsa, the xtc clip is not that expensive, it is not restricted to one phone, if you are that desperate send the phone to me i will s-off, unlock and root and send back, all the while not even charging you, Where else will you get an offer like that but the ball is in your court. Either wait till there is a route to s-off with no clip etc or put in a little faith on another user.

Not you sir, those who have not rooted yet

No Need to S-OFF using xtc-clip, you can go to htcdev site and unloack your boot loader and then root your device.
It worked for me. My phone still shows its S-on yet rooted. I could move most of the appts to SD, installed a firewall to control my bandwidth, new ROM and many more..

Dude just need to spend Rs.500
I have got my Salsa Soff in Mumbai for Rs.500 only and than now I have the unlocked HBOOT (thanks to BigBearEVO) and internal mem as 512( or 1024MB) or more !!
kinda old and dead thread lol
I don't know how many DEVs are in the salsa forum, i don't lurk around myself but i did notice that the SALSA still doesn't have a software S-OFF solution.
Maybe you should start something like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374926
And get the moderators involved?
i can create a batch file to create your gold cards for the salsa but no longer have the salsa sorry
honestly we need help to root and s off salsa without the clip .....
Hey Salsa owners! I'm from the Wildfire S forum. If there are any devs working on a software S-OFF like us, we would like to co-operate with you guys. Seeing that the Salsa has almost the same specs as the Wildfire S, why not work together to get it done faster? Also, we need someone with embedding skills. Hope we get a positive reply from you guys!
im still currently running the Salsa on the chinese rom i got, so far ive expanded it a little furhter, allowing a ton load more apps and refinded the links2sd alittle so its running nicely.
as davies put we both can get you the batch files to copy etc, and i can get you any other files anyone so requires to do any work...heck id even test lmao.
one thing we really need is the recovery menu to fully function properly, maybe get support from the makers etc.
im still currently roaming the net for a dev or someone to create a rom like other htc users have.
as for the clip, yes its an arse....but me and davies are willing to help anyone in the uk, i wont personally post mine out, but am willling to help other users out.

This should mean all should be able to to root etc cause pretty sure the bootloader been unlocked then it is a big step for the users without a htc clip
i cannot update the hboot section. so the xtc clip will have to do for users that cant access the sections mentioned

old !!
people here are finfing out ways to unlock bootloader without hboot update...**** HTC hasnt released an update yet...HTC= morons !!
I really wish HTC had given the kind of support that Sony and Samsung are providing. Samsung is giving really great hardware and Sony is giving great software support. because of this low memory issue, Salsa has become a secondary phone to me. Using Xperia arc and wondering why I didn't buy it earlier. Unlocking the bootloader from Sony's dev site was a cakewalk. I am still holding out with Salsa and hope one day we can get rid off this S-Off issue. Clearly, there are no hopes of getting ICS on Salsa with this much internal memory even though cheaper Xperia Minis with 1 Ghz processor will be getting a timely update! :-(
Salsa is a complete rip off esp for those majority users who have no clue about rooting.
HTC wake up guys!!!
