Hello everyone,
Firstly what a great website. Thank you. I am a 'noob', I have watched the video, searched the posts etc, However as someone who understands very little technological jargon, I was looking for a step by step, recent, updated guide to rooting the HTC Salsa.
Now don't be fooled...I actually have no idea about rooting...I have only just learned about this from searching internal memory issues. However, I am good and following step by step instructions/videos etc
So, can anyone link me to the correct thread, if it has already been posted or help to guide me?
Thanks in advance

there are several others..
Now the route for rooting just got easier....its much more easier to flash a new rom.....as it comes with preroot anyway, saving a lot of time and agro!
its a choice thats up to you!
Go here >http://www.wix.com/bigbearevo/salsa for how to create stuff and do stuff to your phone! I compiled it so people could find it easier...
Thank you BBE,
however I'd be lying if I said that I fully understood any of that!!
I am happy to choose whatever is the easier option, although I am not sure which that is. I looked on your website, but I really didn't understand what part I should be following. I could also not see how to join.
So, would it be possible for you advise me again, with one option that is the easiest. I do not know what flashing a ROM is, but am happy to follow instructions.
Thanks for your patience
Ruthie
Lol that's nps
Ok few questions first to help find which route you want to take.
Do you want to Change what your using right now?
I mean by u are using sense stock.
Check in android development for Roms of choice to figure out what u like.
Flashing is the process in which you install a new rom.
I myself am a serial flasher, meaning while I make Roms I constantly flash my phone lol.
What do u want out of rooting?
Are u just going for the increased memory or do u want a change in appearance too?
The options are.
Keep your stock rom, root it and increase memory.
Flash a custom rom, pleanty around now, advantage with this is most things are Inc that u would have to do on stock rom.
To do this also. U may need to su things prior.
Just to start you off.
Turn off phone and pull out battery.
Reinsert battery, hold down volume key and press power with volume key pressed down.
HBOOT will appear. At the top will be alot of numbers etc. I need to see if you have old or new updates.
If u have old u may need to unlock bootloader with updates first. Easy to do.
Fill in this and choose the way u want and I shall help you succeed in your goal.

Hi BBE
I still don't understand the abbreviations: nps, su etc?
Anyway this is what phone says:
ICON_g PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0558
RADIO-7.51.35.19
Dec 15 2011, 12:57:05
I am ideally looking to increase memory. My phone has been stuck without functioning properly for about 4 weeks now. I am happy to include a new ROM if this also increases my memory, but to be honest I don't really care about changing the image of my phone but am happy to do so if this helps.
I am not really sure what I am looking for in my 'ROM of choice' so there is little point in me looking unless it is really obvious? But perhaps you can guide me?
Thanks again
Ruthie
P.S I am more than happy to get rid of many of vodafones pre-installed applications.

nps = no problems
look in rom development section, see threads with[ROM] in it, see pictures and whats included in the roms it self.
personally if you want standard use a sense rom
Options are
Thing rom
Bigbear x series V10
Minds sense 3.5
reason i state this is the rooting part.
All custom roms have root/New SU (Superuser rights app)
This is required to run the increased memory.
NOTE Updating HBOOT?UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR ROM CLEAN.
BACK EVERYTHING UP U CAN
You need to update your HBOOT.
Goto HTCDev >http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Register (takes a few mins)
plug your phone into the pc and select charge option.
Download these >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?68k4zzzeamjwswt
extract these in to a new folder on c: called Android
now follow instructions to update your HBOOT.
Ok assuming the HBOOT is now updated via HTCDev
You can follow the rest of the instructions to unlock the bootloader, takes around 15mins or so.
So you got the email with the unlock.bin file.
add that into the Android folder u made with those files in there.
Follow instructions again to begin your unlock.
All Done.
so you have updated the HBOOT and unlock bootloader....
Good now for the next bit.
Installing CWM 5
This is a program installed into the phone itself.
This allows you to do pretty much anything you want.
Main thins are Backup and restore of your device.
Flashing of custom Roms
here is recovery >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bumma6im6fu8q4b
this is pretty easy to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438804

Once you have done this, then its upto you if your root it or install a new rom.

New Memory
So to increase the memory partition u need to complete the previous task.
Now then.
Tools required for this next task.
Minitool partition wizard >http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
SD READER for your pc.
About 30mins of your time.
Ok to start with
Turn off your phone, remove sd and place into the reader and into your pc via USB slot.
Now open up The partition wizard.
Personally id back up your sd right now...just in case.
Now select your sd and create a new partition
You want to create and EXT3 partition and select it as Primary only, apply actions, now it will do its thing, watch as it works.
Now if this has completed the sd may register as bad....don't worry.
Unplug reader and reinsert back to pc, now you should have 2 partitions on your sd EXT3 max 1gb and the rest fat32
this shouldn't have touched your fat32 section but if you didn't follow it right and it got wiped...just copy back your backup onto the sd now.
ok reinsert the sd into your phone and start it up.
now to get access to this new memory...it all depends on what rom you are using.
On stock or stock based rom which have NO APPS2SD.
all roms state if this has it or not. mine dont.
now using a set script you have to flash this in recovery mode to enable the new memory.
For APPS2SD use this >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qr5rh2fho1hnbnl
Roms WITHOUT APPS2SD >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?duigp9ky9796b65
Using the wrong one will cause problems so be very clear what u want.
reboot phone and enjoy new memory.

Try not to add in a thread into your post. It takes up so much space and isn't required. Answer to your question is yes of course u can root without s-off. Its called unlocking your bootloader. Then add recoveery then root. Its easy. Please follow my guide in other threads to do this.

HTC Salsa Memory
Hi Big Bear, primarily thank you for all your posts and info which I found really helpful.
My Phone:HTC Salsa
HBOOT-1.07.0000
My problem is:
I used XTC Clip to S-OFF my HTC Salsa, and rooted it. My main aim is to increase its internal memory. So I followed the thread step by step. After rooting the phone (downloaded "root.zip"), I did the 3 wipes and installed CWM 5.0.2.6. Booted phone and all was fine. I did the 3 wipes again, booted the phone and allowed the ROM to fully boot. Then I entered into the HBOOT --> Recovery --> Install zip from SD Card --> installed "htc-data2sd-ext3.zip" and rebooted phone. I used 16gb Class 10 micro (Partitioned using Minitool to ext3 using just 800mb and the rest FAT32, first partition FAT32 and the second partition ext3 both as Primary). I was really happy with the result as when I booted my SD showed 800mb of free space.
I started to download my favourite applications and all was fine. I then switched off phone, placed the SIM and switched back on. Phone reception was very low too, just one or two bars but otherwise all was fine for about an hour until it started to give me several errors of Force Closing. SMSs won't arrive as when I clicked messages, it Force Closes, the same happened with the GMAIL application. I restored the phone to my back up and I did the process all again for about 6 times even using different SD cards but the result was always the same.
So now I restored again, using CWM 5026, created ext3 partition again and downloaded Link2SD. This however is making almost no difference and my internal memory left is now only about 40mb. Phone is working fine, Full Mobile Network Reception, messages work fine too but I did not solve the memory problem.
Am I missing something? Any help from you is greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing from you when you have time.
Thank you so much once again.
Cheers,

So I have been trying to deal with this for a while now... It all started on a normal day. I come home and see my sprint galaxy tab (with ics) with a little message on it. It said that encryption had failed. From then on the device would boot loop. I have already read through other threads and tried flashing, repartitioning, I have checked the error messages via adb and I am sure my internal storage is dead. I partitioned my microsd card with an ext4 and 2 fat32 partitions, then I flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031. Then I changed the vold.fstab to the appropriate thing. And it still boot loops. In cwm i cannot mount /cache, /data, /sdcard, or /sd-ext. I have downloading mode, recovery, and adb that I can use. I just cant seem to figure out what is going on. I am completely stumped here. Thx ahead of time for any help.
EDIT: Attached the logcat during boot...
And another cdma tab bites the dust running ics...
Sounds like your internal memory went bad. This seems to be happening to a lot of cdma tabs that run ics. Only real fix that I know is sending it to samsung to fix. If you search the forums you'll see a lot of post of this happening to other people. What they all have in common is that I was running ics......

Hey everyone,
I'm having a storage issue with my Nexus 6. My available space is showing up as 32GB even though I have 64GB of real space. When I was on full stock, it showed up correctly, but after I flashed the no-encrypt boot.img in Android Development, Its showing up as 32 GB instead of 64.
Help appreciated!
You're going to have to do a factory reset from the backup & reset menu. Back up anything you want to keep since it will wipe EVERYTHING on your device. That's the only thing that worked for me when I had the issue with my N5 and that's what is suggested in the toolkit

No need to factory reset, you can fix through TWRP
JNCHD said:
Hey everyone,
I'm having a storage issue with my Nexus 6. My available space is showing up as 32GB even though I have 64GB of real space. When I was on full stock, it showed up correctly, but after I flashed the no-encrypt boot.img in Android Development, Its showing up as 32 GB instead of 64.
Help appreciated!

Did you resolve this using the TWRP method? I can't get it to work and I'm at my wits end.

What did you do and what part didn't work?
quick glance at TWRP makes me think all you need to do is go Wipe>advanced wipe>select data>repair or change file system>RESIZE. it seems like this should do it but having a 32gb n6 I can't test that. doesn't wipe anything so it could be worth a shot
Apologies, am typing from my phone and can't worm out how to link to another thread but there's also a thread where someone else has a 64gb showing 25gb which there are more details on.
Essentially I've flashed the December factory image using fastboot, using various methods:
All stages per the Q&A sticky, including flashing userdata and then using the TWRP method. Also all stages but replacing fastboot flash userdata with fastboot format userdata as I'm aware that the userdata.IMG is not intended for the 64gb.
Trying the TWRP method to resize always ends up with the same result, the red message saying my phone is unstable (or similar, I've seen other threads with the correct message, again apologies but am on my phone).
I've tried locking and relocking OEM lock to see if that helps or not, but nothing does.
My initial request for help on the other thread is because I got a replacement phone under insurance and didn't check if it was 32gb or 64gb and then noticed I only have 25, with the bootloader saying its a 32gb phone. I've asked but have had no answer yet whether the bootloader would change, is would it always actually know its a 64gb even if internal memory only shows it as a 32gb?
Believe it or not, I called Motorola and even with the IMEI and serial number, they could not tell me what my phone was!
Last night i did the deencrypt mod, cf auto root, and flashed twrp. I have only 23 gb available(at least 2gb missing) and Im confused out the box I swear i had near 26. I know that twrp and root dont take up that much space. Is the userdata.img taking up that much storage? I already reset to factory to see if that would clear anything. Is anyone else having this issue?
Can't offer any suggestions, but wanted to confirm that even after removing encryption I still have 26GB available.
After resetting back to factory default, does it still show up as only 23GB?

if you bought your phone from at&t, its probably the crap in the oem partition
It is a at&t phone but I deleted all the crap out the oem partition. Even the at&t still has 25 gigs with apps installed.
Did you make a backup prior to dencrypting? Might explain it...?
No I haven't. I will just reflash the stock image and try again.
This happened to me yesterday. I have the 64gb version and after trying to decrypt I was down to 23gb. I flashed the firmware, and then relocked the bootloader, and my space was back. Fair warning after relocking your boot up time will take forever.
This happened to me yesterday night too. I have the N6 64gb and after:
- unlock bootloader
- decrypt
- cf root
I was down to 23gb. What I should do now?? I don't care about data but what I have to do, will I lose root acces and decrytion??
Any Tutorial? I'm not that smart ;]
Happened on the Nexus 5 sometimes. Here's an article of how to fix that phone. Maybe the steps are similar.

Ok but do you think I can use a Tool Kit 1.9.9 ?
porn does take up a lot of space even if you have it in a zip folder labeled "Disney movies"

u know from experience..
I didn't decrypt my phone, but after flashing a stock image I did only have about 23 gb of space showing on my 64 gb phone. I had to do a factory reset to restore the missing space. Note this is a reset from the phone's settings menu (Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset). It takes a while, and obviously deletes all the data on the phone.
Yep, Factory reset from settings - This way solve my problem, :good:
Do a factory reset. That will solve your problem.
My total space is 25.98gb on the 32gb model my phone is decrypted and rooted. I got it from US Cellular. No problems here besides apps like Facebook taking up several hindered megabytes....

Just use fast boot to format user cache and see if that works. This happened to me 3-4 tens gene restoring my phone and its an easy fix. There is no need to relock your BL. There is also another OP I made a whole ago when this happened it me which could have answered your question much faster.
EDIT
You just have to know, that there are some ways to restore everything
In my Case I had Bootloader unlocked already (ofcourse)
And I just was stuck on the TWRP Part... I never knew that was soo easy, but you just have to do it properly.
I will make an extra Tutorial now, because it will save many people from going insane
Because of this I didn't sleep for 40 Hours now already, because I was deeply shocked and some very very nice Pictures and important Communications would be gone... and much work in Optimization etc. etc.
Yes!
Link will follow here!
Here you go for the Solution!

Hi,
I just tryed to update from beyond rom 5.2 to 5.8 and so I flashed it...
Then I got a Bootloop, because I didn't updated TWRP before.. so I got into my TWRP and flashed TWRP...
But after that I could not got into TWRP anymore, maybe because I forgot to add multidisabler..
So I flashed stock rom...
However Iam now stuck... I have important Data on the Internal SD and also the backup,
But I only come to the points where it asks me to delete all my data.
Is there any way possible to get the data?
Install TWRP somehow or get to a system?
Please suggest whats possible?
It's an emergency...
Hope you can help me & all who have this problem one day.
Best regards
I can only get to standart recovery, normal firmware & system doesn't boot - Bootloop...
I tryd to flash older firmware (ASH1, ASG8 & newer ASK1), but it doesn't boot system, always ask to factory reset and so on....
really ****ed up...
I hope there is another Way, then directly extract the data from the memory component... wich would be very expensive...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXDUhhyY2rE
basically the new flashed standart rom erases itself after first start, probably because it detects, that the system was modified before (beyond rom) then it reboots itself and there is no system anymore to boot, then it goes in a kind of pre recovery with the option to reboot, factory reset (including all data!) or reading a log...
DAMN I SHOULD BACKUP EVERYTHING ON PC... ALWAYS!
Still I really want to find a solution and I hope some pro can help on the S10.
No Solution for this.... it seems.
Omg i found the solution and got everything back
yes!!!! Great stuff
