Unlocking the bootloader in HTC Salsa c510b - HTC Salsa

Hey guys. So now i've spent around 7 hours non-stop trying to root my HTC Salsa c510b but alas i am out of luck. At HTCdev it requires me to update my HBOOT and in turn update the ROM; in order to do this i must have a minimum 1.17.862.3 software number for my ROM however me being unable to update this rodent keeps my ROM's software number at 1.17.862.2 (so close ). If i was able to get my ROM to be 1.17.862.3 i would be able to use the RUU for Voda-Hutch AU (model # PH1112000) and successfully run the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token and obtain further information to root my device. But i am stuck. Does anyone know how i could possible fix this problem. Really frustrated.
Regards, Faizan

[Q] [SOLVED] Vivo boots straight into bootloader

Hi,
Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.
Phone after boot goes straight into the bootloader like in pic.
Is there any solution to make it live?

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.
When pressing the power burton few moments; phone vibrates only.
Any1 got this problem?

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.
Is there any difference about the PC? Maby I should try with other computer? os?
Actually i'm working on Asus laptop with Win7 64bit

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..
---
When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?
---
And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.
In device manager phone detected as My HTC. New unlock code gives same result as old one.
Is it a brick?

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

So does it always hang trying to update the radio? Is this what happens when you tried to run the RUU or does it not get this far?
When trying to update RUU the program stops on the bootloader reboot, then nothing happened. Connection Error (171)

Are you the original owner of this phone? If not, where did you purchase it and was it operational before you attempted to S-Off?
Yes, it's my old contract phone... and it worked before as well.
I've read about xtc clip. Will it work to unlock bootloader.

No, not since you now have HBOOT version 2.02.0002.
The XTC Clip only worked on the IncS with HBOOT 1.09 and below.

I had one more thing your could try when you attempt to run the unlock.bin.
Once the screen comes up where you try to select YES, have you tried disconnecting the USB cable to see if that would allow ou to select YES?
Ok, thanks for help anyway.
---edit
not helping.

Problem solved. I've just formatted HDD and installed fresh Win7 then RUU program worked smooth as well. Now phone runs new ICS.
I don't know what caused that issue but I'm happy that finally phone started.

htc stuck in bootloader

so heres what happen
download Andriod revolution for the sprint htc one
it reloaded and went to the bootloader screen I didn't know what happened so I reboot the phone from the bootloader
it went back the bootloader and then without thinking I used the ruu and it relocked the bootloader and didn't even restore the phone so
now I'm stuck with a phone that's stuck on the bootloader screen with it locked and no usb debugging or recovery
is there a way to unlock the bootloader still or atleast enable usb debugging from cmd ? I still have the unlock.bin from the last time I unlocked the bootloader
any idea no phone for me until then

The problem was that there is no android revolution for the HTC one. You flashed an international Rom on the sprint variant and so it messed the phone up. You can still unlock the bootloader through the HTC website as before. Check the General section for the guides and the Q&A section to post your problems.
Also, check which RUU you used. Was it from the Sprint HTC one board or the general HTC one board?
I forget that typing in HTC one on the search brings general htc one forum anyway ...
I know how to unlock the bootloader but usb debugging isnt enabled and I don't have an os to enable it
Even tried the all in one to push the bootloader unlock and it just stays saying waiting for device

in the bootloader it uses fastboot actually so if you have those drivers from the unlock till you will be able to do the steps htc asks
I'm going to try in right now let me see what happens

Yeah so like the others said use fastboot to re unlock the bootloader, and by the way if you dont have s-off it will be harder to restore it, but if its the case, I would recommend just flashing a recovery and then pushing a rom and flash that. Hope that helps
Oh and always remember as long as you can access fastboot from the bootloader there is always a way to fix a software issue (for the most part)
I still have S-OFF and just tried the command "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
Its been saying waiting for device for the last 10 mins .

have you tried plugging your cable into a different USB port on your computer?
If you scour the forums with enough determination, I'm confident that you can find a solution to moving yourself past your current dilemma.
Good luck!
Here's why its not connecting its not the usb because it works with my other phone (GS3)

I don't think that will work since windows isn't understanding its on the bootloader so doubt it will connect to the ruu but ill give it a shot

UPDATE:Forgot i already tired this since i have the RUU on my desktop. Device Failed Enumeration is my biggest issue one post says he fixed the issue but doesn't state how. The Error shows up with any htc in fastboot i tried deleting htc sync and all its addons from Add/Remove and it didnt help.So currently only think standing in the way of restoring the unlocked bootloader is the fact windows 8.1 keeps blocking the connection and Ubuntu doesnt either work with rooting for me or just because i dont know how to use it :cyclops:

[Q] Can't Unlock Bootloader

I'm having a bit of a problem with the htc one running kitkat 4.4.2 Google Edition and S-OFF
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader all day but nothing....
I'm doing the right CMD commands and its even saying that i have flashed the unlock_code to the phone but my phone freeze for 5 sec and then resume (in fastboot).
CMD is saying that the flash was okay but nothing on my phone happens.
And could it depend on what version of Android SDK i have.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this problem
Have you gone to HTC Dev page and followed the instructions?
Is it a real GPE or a converted one?
have you tried "fastboot oem unlock" ?
Do you have root?

[Q] S-off but bootloader locked stock recovery and no root

Hi guys, I have been trying to restore my device to stock and I think I misread something or made a mistake. Anyhow here is where I am..
Hboot 1.55
Phone is S-off
Bootloader is Relocked
I do not have root and I am at stock recovery.
I do not seem to be able to unlock my bootloader using fastboot oem unlock. When I try to push SU or a Custom recovery I get Failed Remote not allowed.
Can anyone point me to how I should go about getting root or the boot loader unlocked?
Thanks so much!

I was worried about doing this because in another thread somewhere someone suggested this and then someone else jumped all over them saying that this was causing all kinds of issues. While waiting for a reply it dawned on me that I still had my original unlock bin so I unlocked it using the original command. And then was able to complete the steps to un-tamper my device.
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me this community has been an excellent resource.

S-ON with no system on! how to get out?!

Hello.. how are ya devs
I've asked this last night numerously and ended up with headaches.. yes.
I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING from my htc one and I have S-ON so I basically can't flash a firmware.. So I spent the last night looking at my beautiful blank white screen.. How do I fix it please? I'd appreciate a help..
Quick Help (might work 4 you)
Hey buddy,
I got myself a M7 working again by letting it get set back to stock from a RUU.exe which fit to my phone.
It was S-On and with an UNlocked bootloader.
At first is to say that I cant provide any guarantee for the workability of my solution, neither will I take any responsibiliry in case you mess your mess up even more
But here is how I went on the case:
I just got myself this quick installer here to set up my PC for adb and fastboot commands!
Second you will need the HTC Drivers ("Solo Driver Installer) and a working USB Cable of course
After connecting Phone I started my Phone into bootloader and swiched to the "fastboot" mode! I used the Windows "CMD" command tool to find out which Baseband version i need, by typing fastboot devices and fastboot getvar all. The second command gives you the needed infomation about your Baseband!
After finding out, find your fitting RUU.exe right here and load that 1,6 GB file
At last all you need is to make sure that your bootloader is (RE-)LOCKED, because else the RUU.exe wont work!
A simple fastboot lock oem will do the thing! Afterwards your Phone should be able to get reflashed with the Stock ROM and stuff that comes by the RUU! NOTE: Unlocking your Bootloader requires a working OS as far as i know, and cant be done by another "Fastboot oem UNlock" command
This link is describing the same procedure in case you're unsure..
Greetings, a happy owner of a working HTC M7
