Hi,
I cannot post in the developement section, since I am a new user.
I am trying to install the arabic ROM, logged into recovery and selected apply update.zip, but I am getting an error message saying "invalid operation".
any ideas?
Thanks,
Hi!
You mean the thread with the RUU's?
What exactly did you try to do?
Well,
I downloaded one of the RUU, renamed it to "update.zip".
Then I moved it to the SD card.
Started the phone, accessed recovery mode, and tried installing the update.
However I got the error message "invalid operation".
Try naming it PG32IMG.zip and boot into the bootloader

Why didn't you just run the executable in the first place?

Sorry didn't read well. You can't just rename the executable. If you really wanted to do it manually you would need to extract it, find rom.zip and rename that one to pg32img.zip

How do I run the executable?
Do I run it on the phone? I have tried looking in the forum to see how to install RUU.. but I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
its an exe file... offcourse on your pc...
OK,
I execute it on the pc.. I get a black (command prompt / dos) screen and then it disappears..
An exe is a Windows executable, this software requires administrator rights, your phone have to be connected through usb. If it ain't working try to install the .net frameworks which can be found through Windows update, reboot pc, and try again to run it as administrator. It could take a little while before it starts though so be patient!
The rest is pretty obvious on what to do.

Also check if your downloaded file isn't corrupted. Check the filesize!
change the roms.zip to pg32img.zip
this definitely sounds like a corrupted file. Have you tried executinganother rom?
Hi there !
I'm having issues trying to RUU my Unbranded IS bought in Switzerland.
Firts thing, I saw on some forums that if the phone is Unbranded, we do not need GoldCard, but I assume, as I'm trying to install a ROM that is not for my country, I need to create that GoldCard, am I right ?
So following my thinking, I created a GoldCard on a spare SanDisk 4Gb, formatted to "slow" FAT32, getting the CID from mmc2, reversing, getting ".img", editing the sdCard with the Hex editor, with success.
But when I launch the "RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Virgin_Mobile_AU_2.12.981.2_R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185029_signed.exe", I'm still getting the following error :
131 - Incorrect Client ID
I thought my GoldCard is kinda corrupted, or something else, so I checked if I could open it in Windows => No problem.
I compared the 1'st sector of the ".img" file with the 1'st sector of the GoldCard => Identical.
So.... I'm getting crazy figuring out what is wrong with it.
If someone got an idea, it would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks !
EDIT: Tried with an 8Gb SanDisk Class 4, worked like a charm !
I'm fed up.
(Bell) S-on Incredible S. Locked to Bell Mobility. Canada.
I've tried multiple Gold cards
Tried using the RUU.exe from my PC
(didn't work)
I took the rom.zip and renamed it onto the SD card. Ran the bootloader.
(didn't work)
Have anyone from Bell, Sasktel had any success yet?

I must say, u must have messed up goldcard, otherwise it should work, just try to follow this
1. take spare sd
2. format with fat32 in pc
3. put it in device & boot up
4. download goldcard helper app from market
5. run the app, it will give you two numbers use the top mumber labelled mmc2, dont bother to reverse mumber as it gives you reversed number as well
6. put cid number in this website http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard & request for gold card
7. they will send you goldcard save it on pc
8. attach phone to pc select as disk drive
9 open goldcard tool as in here http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
10. select htc mmc as your card in pc, select goldcard & click patch mmc,
11. thats it you have gold card, now install ruu & important thing when u run RUU is that select charge only & make sure Debugging mode is ticked.
hope this clears up!!
Still no luck.
Followed it step by step :/
I get ERROR 130 / Model ID ERROR

to unlock this you will need at present an XTC Clip from Raskal from XTC Clip Website owned by Raskal
Instructions on how to use this were found by gdavies08 hereXTC Clip Instructions
Next onto the rooting.

language: English
Editor: Qiu Long (from xda.cn)
Preparation:
1. Salsa
2. must s-off
3. download PH11IMG.zip and root.zip, save in root of your sd card
PH11IMG.zip
Root.zip
Start recovery:
1. Shut off the phone, then push volume low and power enter into Hboot
2. Get into Hboot, will show a message if need update or not. choose yes or no. 3. Push volume up start flash
4. According to instruction reboot then finish recovery.
Start root (for this step please make sure your phone is already flashed receovery):
1. Shut off the phone, then push volume low and power enter into Hboot
2. By using volume control choose recovery and enter into recovery
3. By using volume control choose install zip from sdcard

Note:
When confirm a selection, it's better use camera button then power.
This really does work. i was able to root my handset within 5 mins total. Once you have rooted via this process, the root.zip file contains busy-box & superuser and gets pre installed. This is not temp, this is Permanent root.
Myself and gdavies have successfully done this and am sure we can help in anyway!
top work there, not had much time to put guides together as been real busy with other things

can we get the S-OFF without XTC ???
Hi ,
Firstly thanks for this wonderful guide that you have compiled
as of now my device (purchased in INDIA) has a S-ON as you have mentioned that the S-OFF is possible only using the 'XTC' chip which getting here locally is next to impossible , is there any possibility that in future we my be able to S-OFF our SALSA without the XTC chip ..
was going thru the WWW and I found this :
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
will the unrevoked (or a similar ) software be available for the SALSA users.
Thanks!!

Hi Raskal I have sent you a PM !! regarding the xtc
anyone lend me a xtc?
I will send it back when I am finish to s-off
Guys I need some more help/links to move all(or most ) of my Apps to SD card
1. I have now S-OFF my HTC salsa , previously it was S-ON had to get the same locally in Mumbai it was done via the XTC Clip
2.Have root my phone ( have the superuser app on my screen )
So what shall be the next step to move the apps to SD , I have read several thread and all I can conclude that now I shall need to format my SD card ( with ext 2/3 or something) so that the apps I install on my phone consider my SD card as internal memory and install the same on the ext partition.But I need to know the exact procedure to do the same , I could not find it any where on the Salsa forum...
pls help me what should be my next step to move my apps to SD ...I am already using the APP2SD pro but it cannot move the apps like FAcebook/Whats App and other to SD , it moves only those apps which can be moved to SD even without the software !!
Right, what I did was install links2sd. I formatted 500mb of my 2gb SD card onto ext2 this can be done using mini partioner program of the net. Once created start your phone as normal and open links2sd. It will ask I select what ext u have. Follow instructions that follow on app. This will now enable u to move stuff easier. As for Facebook, Google maps voice dialer, the biggest system eater, get an app that removes or uninstalls system apps. In links to SD there's options to forever move/install to SD. Reinstall the system apps again and there u have it. More internal memory. I also use app2 SD enabler for other apps forcing them to SD. It gets annoying setting it up but truley well worth the time. I use rom toolbox from the market to manually okay with settings including wiping of data and caches. So far this is the better way I've seen. For this model to gain that all important space we need.

Hi ,
I tried as you informed but I still cant get the apps to SD in fact my phone does not even recognize the partition .. I had formatted my Card as 512m to ext/2 & balance as FAT32..
Could you pls help me with a link or a step by step guide to move /install my programs to my SD Card.... I need it so desperately !! thanks
EDIT: Okay no can successfully move or install the apps to the ext 3: pls refer the youtube link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G94qerkSX4
you may or may not create the SWAP partition as for what I understand its only needed as a page file as in MS Windows I havent created the SWAP partiton as it also requires a SD Faster Card
But size shown on to the android : " ie. in manage apps " where we have tabs as 1downloaded , 2All,3 on SD Card & 4 Running ", on the internal storage below its shows 75Mb free , I was expecting it shall show the entire EXT3 Pattion as free ??meaning it woud show internal memory as say 512mb in my case (ext was 512mb )
Just for the information i have successfully moved the apps like facebook and whats app to and the memory is now free
Special thanks to BigBearEvo
As long as the apps in the system can be got from the market, uninstall them and reinstall on SD. Nps glad I could help!

Purchased XTC Clip and successfully have Salsa S-off. Followed instructions to root phone too many times to count with no success. Superuser force closes every time.
Does PH11IMG.zip need to be deleted before starting up recovery to prevent it continually looping on Hboot? Or is something else going wrong, such as PH11IMG.zip not installing properly?
Ok. I used the RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18634857&postcount=7 and got root access. Messy work around and my daughter is now begging for the facebook button to be reassigned, but at least link2sd is working.

I need to get rSAP working with the phone for my Audi car kit to work. I also have an added issue that my phonebook contacts don't sync at all.. (apart from that its a great bluetooth connection...lol)..
I've located the rSAP program but apparently when its downloaded from the play site. it doesn't work correctly. In order to get it working correctly, you have to manually load the files into the recovery section of a rooted HTC one. im using this program www.android-rsap.com
I've got a fully rroted HTC one. and I have downloaded the files from the above site. I've just no idea how to get the files onto the phone.. any pointers would be very useful. thanks...

Alternate Installation
You may optionally use these zip files in recovery for installation/deinstallation of the rSAP system files instead of the rSAP installer app:
when you have a write protected system partition (see above) and you don't want to install the kernel module or a different kernel
when you don't need other root functionality you may omit the installation of the Superuser app

Hi thanks for the replies. Actually i have now found out how to do it and yes, i do feel a fool.. It was so easy.
For anyone else having the same issue..
simply download the files you need to load to your phone, Store them where you can find them.
Reboot your phone into recovery mode (your phone must be unlocked and rooted for this)
Simply pick install files and direct to the stored location of the files you downloaded.
Reboot the phone.

Just purchased Nook HD+ and let it do it's thing Software Ver 2.1. Realized Flash was an issue so I went to Play Store on my Laptop and accessed version that was loaded to my Droid Bionic. Google said it would load to other devices and it appeared on HD+. However it was not recognized on webpages in Chrome and same unsupported on ur device error occurred. Tried Dolphin and even though it said Flash enabled in settings would not play on sites I visited.
My question is can this be solved through rooting and then loading the Android Flash APK I downloaded from Adobe? And since this is my first time would the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 for Dumies be the way to go or is there a root method that simply unlocks Flash as an unsupported app within the stock OS.
I know I sound like an idiot so apologies for trampling on the lawn and going on the flowers. I really need flash to work on all sites including desktop versions. Thanks for any guidance.
The official Adobe flash plugin from helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html works fine in Firefox and Dolphin on my CM10.1 HD+. Should not be necessary to root, just allow installation from unknown sources.
Sadly Google has completely disabled flash in mobile chrome.

Sounds like you're suggesting installing CyanogenMod and maybe the Dummies thread. This would give me an environment to load what I need with the unknown sources option that is available on my phone but not on stock HD+. If I don't have to worry about BN Updates messing things up that would be work.You don't need the SD card to be inserted for every bootup after this process I hope. Didn't think so and wouldn't want to after the card recognition problems with some of the newer units.
Thanks for the reply.

If you go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, I have a CWM flashable zip there that allows unknown sources in stock without rooting. Then you can install flash.

So with the HD+ Bootable CWM6028 just add the extras zip to the sdcard. (one more dumb ques) Does it launch the extras or separate launcher required?

could not get flash working on cryogen even if i side loaded it.
however i gave carbon a shot and side loaded flash app and Firefox works perfectly.
never tried Firefox on cryogen it may work give it a try.....
Flash works great with stock or the JB CM 10.1. that I use now.
Leapinlar's Extras installs another launcher called Zeam, which you can use if you wish or uninstall. You can access extra apps in the Stock launcher by simultaneously touching "Apps" on the Apps screen and clicking Vol Up.

The extras zip is just a collection of extra stuff. But what you are interested in is allowing unknown sources so you can install flash. Once you flash the extras zip with CWM, there is nothing else you need to do to be able to install the flash apk. It should sideload and install with a file manager.

The 1GB should work. Use my new procedure in my HD/HD+ CWM thread.

Just a couple final newbie questions.
Should there be any partitions on the SD Card where the image or bootfiles are separate from the zip file extras?
It also seems the laptop does not recognize the image file as taking up most of the 4g card when you go to properties it just shows 5 files before adding the extras zip. Is that correct?
Finally does the extras zip just go to the hd+ root or can it be put in a file folder and flashed from there?.
Thanks for all the newbie catching up.
No separate partitions on this card.
You did not say which method you used, the old procedure or the new.
It should have only the five files plus the unzipped extras file if you put it there. No folders.

I made both but will try the bootfiles card first. Thanks for confirming the image files. I been working a lot lately will get to it finally today.
First try with bootfiles has gotten me the C and progress to 100% then went to welcome and home screen. On top it said it was checking SD Card. Did it not boot to it or is there an advanced menu I need to access? I have downloaded extras zip and flash apk to the device already and was hoping to just point it to them.
OK Got the 1gig card to boot with bootfiles. Also installed extras zip. Couldn't install flash from internal (nor recognized) file or with zeam. Shut down and added flash file to card. Then after reboot put card back in and searched for file with launcher and it did install.
I can play flash videos in chrome and in dolphin but dolphin has full controls that chrome does not. However I still cannot figure out how to play flash files I link to through sites like wiziwig.tv which I use often. If anyone has any ideas about these streaming videos please advise.
Thanks for getting me through and if I eventually need to go with full root or CGM I feel confident it is not that difficult.
At last we have the 4.10.708.1 Sense 6.0 update for the HK version.
Unfortunately, this release appears to have some problems with the gallery and blinkfeed apps. For the best results, I recommend installing the previous version (3.06, linked below in this post) and applying the OTA update yourself.
Without further ado, here are the links!
Download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_stock_4.10.708.1_CL344680_release-keys.zip (MD5)
If you are S-ON, after installing the ROM, you also have to unpack boot.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Verified to install without a problem on an S-OFF phone using the recovery built by @kairi_zeroblade in this thread.
For each of the available OTA updates, you can also find the actual OTA package, the firmware included within and the stock recovery for that version. If you want to flash the whole firmware package (including recovery, radio, kernel/boot and many other things), just grab the appropriate firmware.zip, rename it to PO68IMG.zip, put it into the root of your external SD card and reboot your phone into the bootloader – the update will be applied automatically.
URL: http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/OTA/
Old versions below.
Here's the 3.06.708.3 KitKat 4.4.2 update.
Before installing, take a moment to read this. This update introduces extended filesystem capability flags and SELinux labels. The installer in this ZIP tries to set them in the same way as the OTA update does, but in TWRP this fails, because the recovery doesn't have support for these kinds of metadata. However, setting the medatada is done as the last step, so even if it fails and the installation aborts, the ROM is still installed properly, just without this extra bit.
I repeat:
Read the installer messages. If it says "Done!" and fails afterwards, the installation is complete. If it fails before printing the message "Done!", then the installation is not OK.
The latest CWM Touch should give the best results, although I haven't tried installing it through CWM.
If you are S-ON, after installing the ROM, you also have to unpack boot.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

@Zarboz also made a ZIP of this version of the stock ROM, I'm told it contains some flavor of Superuser preinstalled:

-----------------------
Just before Christmas we have a new stock ROM with Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5 available. Same as with previous version, the installer contains all preload apps, in addition, it also contains the HTC Notes app, otherwise it leaves /data as it is, so in case something does not work, remember to wipe data before installing.
Download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_2.21.708.1_CL288207_release-keys.zip (MD5)
-----------------------
This is an image of the stock ROM after installing the 1.23.708.3 OTA update. The installer also contains all preload applications (Flashlight, Calculator, PDF viewer and others). Other than installing / updating all preload apps, the package doesn't touch /data in any other way. If you need to wipe your data partition, do it before installing this ROM, otherwise you'll wipe your freshly-installed preload applications. (Note that some of them have been updated in the OTA, which means they differ from the APKs I posted separately.) Does not contain the Notes OTA update, it should ask after first boot.
Here's the download link:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_1.23.708.3_CL241753_release-keys.zip (MD5)
-----------------------
Made from a dump taken from my 901S just after unlocking the bootloader, pure preinstalled stock ROM, no root, no mods of any kind. Only contains /system and kernel+initrd, doesn't touch /data, /cache or anything else. If you want a clean state, wipe your phone before or after installing.
Download:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/dlxpul_signed_stock_1.11.708.1_CL215607_release-keys.zip (MD5 here)
The ROM is also available as a TWRP backup:
http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/stock-901s-twrp-backup.tar (MD5 here)
For those interested, I also made a backup of the original internal storage ("sdcard") before unlocking which is available here (MD5). It should be pretty close to the original state, though I did run a few apps there to get a feeling of the device.
Last but not least, there were certain applications preinstalled in the /data partition which gets erased completely when unlocking. I managed to find out which ones they were and back up their APKs. The APKs are located at http://heh.sk/~johnny64/901S/preload/. To install them, create the directory /data/preload on your device and push the APKs in there using adb or something. The apps should appear after a reboot. Most of them are probably not very interesting (since they are for news from the HK area), I was mostly interested in the calculator, flashlight and PDF viewer, but I backed them all up anyway, so suit yourselves.

Well, the file is a tar archive. You have to extract it into TWRP/BACKUPS/<your phone's serial number>. The backup itself consists of multiple files, I just made a single archive for easier downloading.

I don't really understand your question, but I'll try again and slower this time. (-;
First, extract the archive on your phone, any decent file manager app should be able to do that. You'll notice the archive contains one directory named 2013-08-22--21-11-59. This directory contains a bunch of files.
Next, look up your phone's serial number in settings -> about -> phone identity. Navigate into TWRP/BACKUPS on your SD card and check if there's a directory with the same name as your serial number. If there's no such directory, create it.
Finally, move the 2013-08-22--21-11-59 directory into the one you just created.

but if when i restore over maxim rom i faced a system restore problem?
Okay, now I don't understand your question. Did you try to restore the backup and it failed with an error? If that's the case, then I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Anyway, you might want to post the exact error message you're getting in case someone else would be able to help you out.

Used search for "stock recovery" and found this thread. contact the OP to confirm it's the stock recovery for the Butterfly S.
Where is your backup hosted at? The download is taking a long ass time?!

It is hosted on a Raspberry Pi sitting on a shelf in my campus room. It should have 100 mbit connectivity. I noticed in the HTTP server logs that a lot of people are using downloaders which open more than 20 connections in parallel, some go even as high as 50. Since it is a really weak machine, I limited it to 5 parallel connections. If you're trying to download with such a tool, try to crank it down a little bit.
