Checking For s-on/s-off - HTC Salsa

How to check, proceedure etc.

pull out the battery and replace turn on and press and hold the volume down key, on the screen that is shown it states
s-off on
or
s-off off
hope that helps you also get bootloader recovery etc on the same screen. Still not had chance to further play with my project i have the o2 firmware file now but can't seem to strip it as yet

I have s-on :-( xtc clip arrived today so will have a play soon. I'm also on o2 aswell. Desperate to get this rooted lol
Screen came up with hboot etc on it. Unknown where to go from there just yet.

what version is the hboot and i will see if it differs from what i have

See listed pic for hboot etc

Mine says the same only s-off, did you have the phone attached while trying to get s-off and what happened when you went through the steps i listed up.

I did it as stated took awhile to restart it though, **** myself incase I bricked it lol.
On the instructions it does say use an SD card....I used a blank one I had spare as I didn't want to use mine. Started it up with the gold card and that's when it took awhile to boot up.m when it did, I restarted it took out SD, inserted mine and checked for s-off or on.
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Tapatalk

try starting with gold card in and choose clear option, you will lose all apps on the phone, and then the unlock option but i am sure i had to do it a few times to be honest, not had another salsa to redo the process i went through to ensure i can write a solid guide which is perfect for people to follow.

What I'm thinking of doing is following the guide u madeand for the clip.
For the gold card I'm going to back my SD up and wipe it so once the gols card is made cary on using ot and recopy it all back on afterwards. Its a right pain as it wipes everything u made lol.
Can't do it just yet as I got a few days of work and need my phone as is lol. I am interested in finding out in another post how they have. Rooted salsa! Maybe get them to copy up the hboot screen and prove its rooted.

this is my hboot screen took it with my webcam on macbook so not overly clear sorry

I checked mine.

much joy yours can now be rooted etc

XTC clip issues

Just got my XTC clip last night, trying to S-off my incredible S. I watched the video on YouTube for the desire. Some things were a bit different.
Problem I'm having is...
After creating gold card and getting into recovery, I tell it to reflash... But it pops up with bad zip image... Tried a few times, same results
I've got an incredible s with 2.3.3 (i think I used the WWE full Rom to get to gingerbread
Using a 32gb transcend SD card...
I can post more details if needed... But anyone know of any issues with this setup?
Gold card worked fine before to bring the phone to gingerbread...
Although I think I used an 8gb card for that...
Don't ask for reflash. Ask for DIAG.

thanks for the link to the video.. really helpful
does anyone know if after using the clip personal data on the phone are erased?
This depends. On some phones there's a factory reset, on some there isn't.
The IS is one of the phones that get reset, so you need to backup everything first.

[Q] Lost... trying to root or restore raider

I've tried every guide, and every step twice. I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into the bootloader, and recovery screens.
Just don't know where to go next.
very frustrated, and not looking forward to an hours drive to the tech area to get it fixed.

hi enter to the bootloader - fastboot and make it lock with this command ( fastboot oem lock ) and then download and run roger ruu stock
(http://hotfile.com/dl/145619873/245....77.551061.02L_release_219561_signed.exe.html)
like that it should be back to the stock.
Well I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time - lord knows i tried every combination of commands at least twice.
I'm back at setup for Rogers - guess I'll have to learn to live with the low volume issue - which is what prompted me to look for a root to begin with.
Thank you for the assistance at least getting me back to square 1
Boot into fastboot, and flash stock kernel. Or flas recovery to install Rom. guess u'r in bootloop. Cmiiw

Hi Guys,
I have a problem where my internal earphone stopped working after flashing the kernel to a different one. still on the stock ICS ROM though.
Would this download put me back to stock as well. I am running a HTC Velocity (Vivid).
I know this is a noobish question just literally plucking straws here now. been trying to get the earphone working for a day now.
Having the same Problem
I am having the same problem with my Phone except I don't think USB debugging is activated somehow got turned off.. Anyone know to tunr it back on because I can only acess HBoot and Recovery. i see alot of tutorials that say oh just do this.. But my phone won't connect...

Go to recovery and plug it in. Run ADB and type adb devices. It should say
"List of devices attached"
*Serial number below*
If your serial number pops up it's connected. If it doesn't then it could be your drivers aren't installed. I had that problem and downloading the drivers again fixed it.

You would need the RUU.exe for the Vivid. Not the Raider.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates
Underneath "HTC Vivid™ for AT&T ROM Update | 03.22.2012" click read more in green. Go to the bottom and click download. That is the ICS stock RUU for AT&T Vivid.
it worked
It worked. It break the screen loop. First I relocked. The RUU install the ICS. Now at hboot show: S-ON RL
Could you please tell me what next? I am terrified to get back to the past loop... haha

[Q] White HTC Screen and Triangle! During Recovery

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed in the past, but my searching here hasn't helped so I gotta ask for help.
Having a problem with me wife's HTC Vivid. It's bone stock. Nothing has been messed with other than whatever updates may have been installed automatically over the air. She wouldn't let me touch it to root it, mod it, nothing.....
Anyway. Problem happened Saturday night. Phone shut down due to dead battery. Put it on charger overnight. Tried to boot it up Sunday morning and it stops at the white HTC screen. Period. Just sits there. Forever.
I did some reading, learned how to hold power and vol down buttons to get to HBOOT. Tried navigating to recovery. It goes to white HTC screen, then to a black screen with a green circle arrow icon, then to a red triangle with an exclamation point.
I downloaded drivers and the HTC RUU and was going to try fastboot usb, but when it said all data will be lost I stopped.
My wife has tons of pics and stuff on her phone (that she has failed to back up ) and really doesn't want to loose them.
Before I wipe the phone and try to reinstall the stock rom do any of you have any suggestions on a way to get it back up and running and recover her pics and stuff?
Or are we screwed? :crying:

You get the red triangle/exclamation point because you dont have a custom recovery installed if Im correct. Using the all in one here is the most user friendly way of installing -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003
Install twrp and you should be able to recover your pics/vids by selecting "mount/mount sdcard" in the twrp ui with your phone plugged in to your pc. Then opening the storage located under computer. Navigating to the appropriate folder & cut/pastting to a folder on your pc.
I dont know how technology savvy you are but it sounds like flashing the stock kernel will repair your phone hanging on the htc logo. This is the stock ICS kernel - http://d-h.st/rHX
You can flash it through the all in one. Or follow up here -

Thanks for the help. I was able to get the bootloder unlocked with the all-in-one but when I tried to install the kernel it kept failing. I tried several different things over and over again but no luck.
I finally got frustrated and tried the HTC RUU from their website to see what would happen. I had to relock the bootloader before it would work though. It finally ran successfully and the phone is back up and running now.
Only bad news is that I wasn't able to recover any of her files.
Now she understands the importance of backing up files and getting stuff OFF the phone to another form of long term storage. :good:
Thanks again for the help.

You probably could have recovered your media. Just by mounting the internal memory like I said in my original post. You really should invest in an SD card that way no matter what happens your stuff is accessible. You can use up to 32GB. People also say 64GB SDXC cards work too. But glad its up and running again.

I got into CWM recovery and tried mounting the sdcard but kept getting "error mounting sdcard"
No mater what I did I could not get it to mount and become visible on my pc. I could see the disk drive(s) for the phone, but they were shaded and when I'd try to access them it would say insert disk into drive. When using the all-in-one it would try to push the kernel to the phone, but it got errors too. I tried putting the kernel on a micro sdcard and installing it from cwm with no luck. Couldn't get that to show/mount/work either.
I've done modding to my Samsung phones and build my own pc's so I'm not too technologically challenged.... but, Something was just wrong with this phone and it didn't want to cooperate.
And/or I didn't have the time and patience to keep jacking with it.

[Q] Bricked m7u

Hi guys, I have the non-lte One running on 2.24.707.3. Today, I restored my stock nandroid (4.2.2) and then tried the rumrunner s-off (rumrunner_m7_2.24.401.1). It worked, and I was successfully s-off, superCID on hboot 1.54. I then flashed a modified hboot(descenpet_HBOOT_1.54_2.24_MOD) to remove the red warning. All went well. Later, while I was recieving a call, the phone got hung up, so I did a reset (holding the power + vol down buttons). The phone got switched off, but never booted back up.. I tried holding the power + vol down buttons but even the buttons aren't flashing.. Connecting it to my pc makes no connection sounds, and again holding the combo makes no difference. The charging light also doesn't light up. Please tell me what I should do, and whether it is a hard brick or soft brick. Thanks in advance.
Just press and hold the power button on it's own and see if anything happens

why did you use modified hboot now you are in serious trouble. As you are supercid download any ruu and try flashing and if your pc can connect via fastboot you can fix your phone. To check you must type in adb fastboot devices. if results are positive tell me i can help you then

I used a modded hboot to remove the red warning, have a look at this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726)
To do an RUU, I need to reboot in fastboot, but I can't even get the phone to charge.. Of course adb doesn't detect it..
Another point to note is that I rebooted several times after flashing the modded hboot, and it worked all those times, so this is just random... :'(
Why do people care about the red writing? Unless you're sending it to HTC for repair it makes no difference! It just leads to complications such as this

Well, 2 things
1: The process worked, ok? It's a perfect process to remove the red text, and the modded hboot also worked, I rebooted several times after flashing it.
2: The matter of the fact is that I am actually sending it in for camera replacement.. I guess I'll just tel them to replace the mobo along with it..
So, lets stop fighting like losers and find a way to get out of this situation! It'll help many people in the future

If it's not booting up , and you're stuck in that QDLOAD thing, it's usually the mainboard that's fried and HTC replaced the mainboard in my Sensation under the warranty when it happened to me. I was S-OFF at the time as well, and it came back 100% stock and working

I think most of the time, that's not something fixable unless by a service center. You may wanna check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331454
For one guy the phone "magically" just started again, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Sorry mate.
Ok, thanks for the info.. Maybe I'll make a strong case. My phone was originally replaced with a new one within a week because of battery problems, and scratch marks that I didn't make.. Then the second one had its mobo replaced for that same battery problem, and now I was going to send this in for replacement because my lower speaker is louder than the upper, and my camera has the dreaded pink tint and my phone has a big gap on its side where the service center guys hadn't closed the phone properly..and now this.. Oh boy, am I gonna make a strong case!!

Okay, although I've read a lot and I've learnt quite some bit, I want to know that if it wasn't the phone that unexpectedly died, was it my mistake somewhere? So I'll start with what I did, step by step, please have a look and tell me if I did anything wrong
1. Originally on ViperOne, tampered and unlocked on hboot 1.54
2. Restored stock nandroid 4.2.2 (2.24.707.3)(India) unrooted
3. Downloaded rumrunner (the version that I previously mentioned)
4. Started the exe
5. Phone reboots 2-3 times, process completes at pouring(3)
6. Reboot to verify s-off
7. Restore ViperOne nandroid
8. Run Revone to reset tampered flag
9. Flash modified hboot to remove warning.. Succeeds, reboot to verify warning gone
10. Reboot like 5-6 times to admire at the bootloader
11. I got a call and my phone hung
12. Reset the phone by holding power+vol down
Aaand the phone never booted again..

Just an update got phone back today and they fixed it even though handset was rooted
That's encouraging because both my speakers have blown and I'm sending mine off tomorrow. I'm relocked and tampered. Did they reflash your software or was it just a hardware update? I might be cheeky and ask for a full return to stock as well as a speaker replacement? What do you think and how long was the repair?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
They usually don't care if you are rooted and your problem is hardware related. All I might think of if you have used sound mods for increased volume. Then the guys who fix them must be in the know in that case.

Never used any sound mods to my knowledge. Only used the stuff that came in a ROM. Sending it off later today to see what the damage is.

***EDIT*** I put the phone in today for repair and will update this thread with how it all goes. I was told a maximum of two weeks wait.
Getting my phone back today after 8 days away being fixed. Took longer to get to the repair centre and back than the actual repair. Hoping they have restored my firmware but if not I will have to do it myself.
Got a phone back, was expecting them to change out something but they sent me a brand new unit. Speakers working great and I got the original firmware back too. No more relocked and tampered for me. Thanks htc.
ok since my last post I realised the speaker problem came back after a day and it turned out htc just cleaned the speakers and replaced the mic which was never the problem.
I then sent the phone back to htc once again and they fixed it this time but when i got the phone back they had unrooted it and put it back to stock I rerooted the phone and one week later my speaker problem is back :crying:
Edit just phoned htc repair they actually replaced my top speaker and to be honest everything worked gresat unto i put my favourite venom rom on again i cant see how the rom would make a speaker blow just confused on this.
