How to update to the new HBOOT for S-OFF Users - HTC Salsa

Ive beaten the system!
back you entire image with backup in cwm4, you can restore the image straight after all this and nothing will be out of place.
firstly you need to create a folder on c: called Android so it looks like this.
C:\Android
in there you need these files
adb
adbwinapi.dll
fastboot
download this >these 3 files, unzip into c:/android
secondly, you need to add one of these this image files to your sd.

>HTC Europe
>Asia WEE

it holds the newest hboot version for your area or ruu that your running, allowing you access to the unlock code.
reboot into hboot and update it. ( when there it looks for pm11img and it'll say update press up).
reboot again in to hboot.
it'll go through first process again, but don't panic, just press down.
now it should show up with a pink bar at the top of hboot saying *****locked*****
good, now your in! leave your phone in its current state and goto the htc dev site, follow instructions to get code....5mins tops!
unlocked it via the instructions.
you loose everything and go back to your original ruu you flashed with. hence the backup
ok, now goto cmd prompt ( little dos window) and follow the guides shown with cmds for fastboot etc...posts everywhere here and htc tell you on there site.
ok. your bootloaders unlocked...it will say in the top in pink. *****Unlocked*****
now......you need to flash cwm 5.
follow kandeds post to the letter.
there cwm installed.
reflash your backup img to restore everything as it was....jobs done!
and the added benefit that its still s-off lol
now you can hopefully enjoy all the benefits of htc freedom instead of xtc lol.
2 other files as listed elsewhere in this thread are these. (Not tested)
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PH1111000_Icon_G_hboot_1.08.0000_R.exe
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PH1112000_Icon_G_hboot_1.08.0000_R.exe

great job, mate. so now the data2sd script works for you ? let me know.

hey hey hey where my credit lolz....?
after our breakthrough of replacing xtc with htcdev bootloader hopefully u guys will get some optimized rom... waiting for bigbear to test few roms for me & i'll also get my hands on a salsa tomorrow...

So if I'm reading correctly.....no need for the xtc clip now?...just seems to good 2 b true lol

Yes I , BigBear and a veryfew others were the ones to S-OFF our devices even before the HTC Dev came up with a unlocked Bootloader for HTC Salsa and other devices
So even if you have S-ON no need for the xtc clip anymore...just follow the unlocking thread (in general section ) or HTCdev.com n than u can Root ur phone ...
xtc clip is only and only required to S-OFF the device but now as HTC has themselves given out the unlocks dont bother to s-off

Pleaee note.....sometimes it will not update automatically via the HTC hboot update...hence my little files in first post.
If you are trying tto auto update via HTC.....stop, try one of mine, add it to your SD,
Boot into hboot and try and update that way. Let me know your progress...get some pics of above mentioned too....

Hi Bear,
The phone is not able to find the PH11IMG file. I have tried downloading all. It can see the file but it never ask for update. When I run the adb for token, it either stays waiting for device or I will get n error. Any help?
Thanks.

What hboot version have you got? Check your version on the first bootup menu, also have you got s-off or on?

Hi Bear,
Thanx.. I got it at last. What I did was after a few days, I did another check and update Software, then I am able to run from HTCdev. After posting the token I am able to Unlock Bootloader. I have tried one of the roms. Just to check, if we run again the rom, do we need to rerun the App2sd as well? It seems that the partition is missing.. I am actually doing it for a friend..
Thanx..
Regards,
Huzz107.

It depends but normally yes u do have to redo the data script on each rom

The fastboot command does work
I can enter commands like "reboot" which work

Lol.....can u say it? Read title again...for s-off users!
You have s-on.
For you it requires a proper update via htcdev and then unlocking. It will do it.
You may be able to use fastboot...I could but wasn't able to unlock till I has full update, and being s-off I had to create a work around.....which s-on users cannot use.
Sent from a 3.5 Sensed Salsa

Referring to posts #14 and #16 indicates user huzz107 with S-ON as being able to successfully unlock the boot loader after an update software to the correct version. The phone I have went through a FOTA update recently to the current correct version as indicated on the htcdev website, I was under the impression this is a proper update just like what huzz107 did. I am now unsure as to what a proper update is

this is just this files required by the XTC clip to unlock the phone, you still need the hardware to do it

You can't at the moment, no
but this file can check your phone's date and cid hardware info
well if ur device is s-off
than run the ruu, press next next... grab the rom.zip out of the temp folder and rename it to PG32IMG.zip place that on ur sdcard (in the root) start hboot and tada it flashes.
it seems that the S-OFF work is kinda hard...

[GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for Revolutionary (HBOOT 1.01.0001)

Hi.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
I made a small package to help you do this.
http://www.mediafire.com/?adny69lbvzbs1yg
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like C:\buzzdowngrade
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
After you've made the goldcard, and inserted it, continue with step 2.
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Thanks You Sir
Branded UK Vodafone HBOOT 1.01.0002 to unbranded WWE HBOOT 1.01.0001, ran AlpharevX again and im now S-Off
Much appreciated
I dont know why, but I taked the S-OFF without downgrade my 1.01.0002 orange spain HBOOT, using alpharevx linux version.

Format your SD card, generate a goldcard image online (sorry, can't remember right now, should be floating around the forum), use DD to "flash" it to the raw SD card device (/dev/sde or something like this, do "sudo fdisk -l" to find out exactly). MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT DEVICE. If not, you can easily overwrite the bootloader and/or partition table. Both are annoying, but fixable as long as you have some kind of Live CD around.
Since the RUU is Windows-only, get the script called OpenRUU. It should be around this forum. Follow the instructions to extract rom.zip out of the RUU and debrand.
Worked Effortlessly..

Bricked again?

So got the Incredible S in the beginning of July and was very happy with it, beat the hell out of my old HD2 who got bricked Desided not to root this one cause it was already android and i didnt want to break the warranty. But then the 2.3.3 update came and i didnt recieve text and calls was dismissed. (it is an own thread about this issue on the forums) so i desided to try a rom from XDA to see if this could help solve the issue. It did not but i rooted the phone (S-off right?) and used it with GSM only.. today i talked with HTC support and got a hold of the RUU_Vivo_HTC_WWE_1.36.405.1_Radio_Radio_20.23.30.0 802U_38.02.01.11_M_release_172670_signed.. the cusomter support guy uploaded it and i installed it with the USB cable.. the installer said everything went fine.. the phone reebots.. boots to the HTC logo screen and turns off again.. and keeps on going in the same cycle..
I can get into bootloader, but when i press "power" to choose recovery it goes straight to the white htc screen again and reebots.. what to do now? Is this one dead also?
Tried rename RUU to PG32IMG and put it on the memory card.. still no luck it says "Bootloader - Bypasses"
"TP - Bypassed"
"TP - Bypassed"
Why? And still no luck tried with two signed RUU's now.. The bootloader says
Vivo PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 6.13.1002
At least i want all the Revolutionary stuff gone.. Any idea? Im out of ideas right now.. Oh geez, it booted the 2.1.3 RUU.. nice.
But why would not the other room work? This is the one i have to get workin.. Any ideas?
Does the RUU got a radio in it? Please share this RUU cause I believe this is not avaible anywhere. I would give it a try then and report if I have issues.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Yes I think it can be a radio conflict too, perhaps you downgraded it.
Here you go Please give a report if it work on your device
I also want to gain S-ON on my Incredible, used AlphaRevX Beta to get the S-OFF but i need it to be S-ON again, and i cant really fint the information on how to do it. These forums are amazing but very hard to navigate true, and find the information you are looking for.
Was thinking... You said you are S-OFF and then installed the 1.36 RUU. Possibly this RUU or ROM needs an older bootloader. Cause the bootloader cannot be overwritten (I assume you used Alpharev), the installation is aborted.
The newer RUU accepts the current bootloader and therefore is being installed.
I think, when you first downgrade your Hboot to the one that can be overwritten, the RUU should work and you can enjoy Froyo again!
So did it work ?

How to do this? Do i need to S-ON first? Or?

Easy Guide to revert back to S-ON for warranty!

Hi guys, Once again this guide thread comes from the mixture of everyone suggestions and ideas to make your phone S-ON with shipped ROM for warranty!
Collected the following info from the thread, Not my own idea!
First install the ADB and SDK tools and folders, mainly install the Fastboot!
If u dont have fastboot enabled see this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot and this http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
First Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 and install the shipped ROM which u had before .
Use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18079795&postcount=1 to install the ROM, But this alone wont get you s-on when you do the process from the above link, Your phone will be Physically S-On but in the bootloader it will still show you s-off!
To change the bootloader to s-on then you need to follow the steps below,
1 . Now download this file from http://alpharev.nl/vivo_downgrade.img
2 . You should enable USB debugging mode, Turn your phone into FastBoot by unchecking the fastboot option in power settings
3 . Now your device will be switched off Remove your battery and insert it again.
4 . Now press (VOL DOWN + POWER Button) You will go into bootloader menu.
5 . When you boot into HBOOT, The first option is FASTBOOT. You select the menu options using the Volume Up/Down key. Once you select FASTBOOT menu, press the Power Button and it will take you to the FASTBOOT menu.
6 . Plug your USB cable in and the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB. Then on your PC, open a CMD window and change to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK tools, such adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc. In the CMD window you would type the command:
fastboot flash hboot vivo_downgrade.img
7 . Wait for sometime, Then you would type the next command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
8 . Now this is a tricky step, You should Select and open the ROM package you downloaded (But dont install) go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Temp and at last folder find rom.zip
9 . You need to open the ROM.zip file and extract the file HBOOT.img from it and copy it to the same directory as the vivo_downgrade.img. Then you would type the command
fastboot flash hboot HBOOT.img
10 . Now again, wait for sometime type the next command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it you are back to s-on with stock !!!
You may check this by booting your device into BOOTLOADER , If it shows S-on, that's all You Performed the steps correctly!
If you are stuck at SECURITY WARNING BOOTLOADER because of missing some steps, Go to this following thread

hI SATISH
if u revert back to s-on to update the latest OTA you cannot s-off ur device again because it comes with a newer bootloader.. To know which RUU you should install, then check with fastboot getvar all to know your mainver
Read my full thread and also this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16684717&postcount=38
Everything is inside those two threads .. just sit and read .. You will figure it out!

Hi Santosh,
Thank you for the update, I had infact done the S-on ( dont know how i managed to do it, i was having the OTA update somewhere, and i run it as PG32IMG.zip and then flashed the HBOOT image file as you have mentioned and voila the S_ON is back. ).
I know there is no option for S_off again, but i have my bet on you dev's.
Is the update for 2.3.5 is released for indian IS user's or any expected date.?
Waiting to see how the performance.

Hey bro. Thanks for your promt reply. I am so rookie on this stuff and so i am finding your words hard to understand. I think if i can show you some screenshots to my htcs bootloader menu and software version then you might help me with proper guidance and where to find the proper rom for my device. Thanks. If we can connect via facebook or skype then i can show you the images and you help me finally. Thanks a lot. Please let me know what you think.
FYI: I have no idea if my device is harman kardon rom or not. Also if my device is rooted or not.

As U haven't wipe ur radio/firmware, so we can hope it will work.may be some one tweaked ur device to make it carier unlocked by using super CID. It's most common now a days.which results in poor 3G connectivity/lack of 4G connectivity specialy in sprint devices. Plz try to update using this process and if u r not officialy carier unlocked (getting sprint's official permission which costs some money though) after updating ur phone will be again carier locked.though this chance is less than 10% but as my duty,I am just informing u the reality.

Unlocking r of two method/official and bypassing official (which disiables OTA and other advantages. As htc one m8 gets update from carrier rather than htc itself,so after officialy unlocking htc one m8, u won't get OTA for updating.u have to manualy flash it but it won't relock ur phone,but if it's unlocked by any tweak (by using a sim or something like that) it will again lock ur phone with carrier after updating
