Had to sign up to spread news. HTC have added salsa to unlocked bootloaders today. At last!!!. Van someone post this in development thread as I can't.
have you tried??? i cant update HBOOT, cant get identifier token either... im on RUU 1.12.720.3 (INDIA)
yes ive tried, failed several times. cannot update hboot, which requires and update on the rom too.
all i want is roms, sod the bootloader, mines already opened up
I originally was with 3 but switched recently to vodafone, worst mistake of my life but I recd the hboot update via update option on my phonesabout menu, sorry im a complete newb. I have succesfully unlocked hboot but still working on a custom recovery as it tells me the one recommended here is out of date. I updated rom as well via instuctions on unlock page. Hope this helps others. I acheived root via super one click v3.
On HTC site they also give list of RUU and HBOOT update needed with a link
Sorry for repeated posts. Not used to this. I apologise if I break any rules but after updating HBOOT via OTA I made sure by following instructions on HTC unlock site.
This is text I saw that was different to previous times I had attempted to do this.
BEFORE beginning the Unlock Bootloader process your product requires that you update the ROM to the version listed in the table below first, then download the RUU next to it to enable the unlocking capability.
To install the RUU, simply follow these instructions:
On your phone, enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes.
If your computer cannot find your phone, you may need to install HTC Sync. You can download HTC Sync here.
After your computer has found your phone, double click on the RUU to start the process.
Follow the on screen instructions to finish flashing the RUU on your phone.
NOTE: If you encounter an error while flashing your phone, it’s possible that the connection to your phone was interrupted. Simply exit the program, disconnect your phone and start over.
Fully exit the RUU to ensure there is no conflict of multiple instances of the program running.
Disconnect the USB cable from both the phone and the computer.
After a few moments, reconnect the USB to the computer and phone. See above if your phone or computer cannot find each other.
Run the RUU.
Disclaimer: You may not be able to get further FOTA updates once the RUU was applied to your device.

hi BigBear,
i wonder if i can root my salsa, since i only unlock it from htcdev, but the security still on (S-ON), what difference does it make between locked bootloader and unlocked, since there's nothing different in my phone and i still cant root even with this instruction
edit:
hi, i want to confirm that i succeed rooting my phone with unlocked bootloader by htcdev, S-ON, using this method here

To be really honest, I don't know. HTCDev should be correct on what they say, but I don't I'm afraid.

Hi i got the new update for my sensation xl, the problem is when the phone restart i come with an android and a !. Nothing more happens.
My phone is rooted, but with stock rom. And i thinks it might be the problem.
But how can i the easyst way install the new update?
First relock your bootloader, then flash an official gingerbread RUU.exe for your country , after that check for update and update it normally

You need to unroot the device mate so factory data reset in settings should wipe all off and reset phone back to stock

Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me?
I have just purchased a HTC One and unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, but the problem is i am on software 1.28.161.7 on vodafone but i want to update as my phone keeps asking me to.
But everytime i click on install update it resets back to the bootloader
Am i doing something wrong
Rule number one of rooting: don't take OTA updates

You'd have to flash the stock recovery. There's one floating around in the development section

Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC One previously but I wanted to update my phones android software so I can't much remember what I did, but
I tried to unroot it to get back to stock but I don't think I did this successfully.
My HTC One android version is 4.2.2
HTC Sense version is 5.0
am i right in thinking there are more up to date versions on the three UK network for my HTC ONE? But every time
i click check for software updates on my phone there aren't any that appear??
I'm really new to this, thank god i didn't brick my phone when i first rooted it, if i could i'd love to get
back to stock but I tried with no success, i really want to have an updated phone without having to
mess around with it anymore.
I believe i have attached an image more more information such as my baseband and kernel version.
could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to go back to stock so i can receive
updates without these issues. Thanks in advance guys
Kind regards

If I was you I would look to s-off your device, that way you can always have the latest rom version from XDA you can sometimes wait a long time for Networks to release the latest version to update over the air.
There are some very nice stock roms out there but if you don't wait to take the risk you need to unroot, restore stock recovery and relock your device I believe.
If you had made a nandroid backup before rooting you could have restored to the nandroid stock rom and simply restored the recovery and relocked.
ok i have made a mess of my phone and am hopping that someone can help me sort it out. i am newbee to this.
i bought an htc m8 on sprint from ebay and shipped it over to ireland. so in order to try and sim unlock it so i could use it on networks over here i did a small bit of reading (not enough as it turns out). i unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp recovery for sprint. i then downloaded a new rom thinking that it would also unlock my sim. i wiped my phone system before flashing the new rom but forgot to make a backup of my stock rom so there is no going back for me to that. so the way i sit at the moment i managed to get cm12 nightly to work its rooted with s-on.. i tryed using sunshine to s-off but it tells me i need to install a rom closer to stock. any rom i install wont work and i just boot back into bootloader.. i would like to get s-off if thats posable now and also install a rom that looks more like htc stock with sence on it...
thanks in advance
If you go to the HTC dev website, you can download an RUU to get back to Stock sense. Then after that you can S-Off and root and do all the other stuff you wanted
