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 I have succesfully unlocked hboot but still working on a custom recovery as it tells me the one recommended here is out of date.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

I'm in the same situation, trying to figure out if I can install it on my Bell IS (I'm unlocked on AT&T). Anybody tried it yet?
Can we install this OTA ROM on indian IS s-on?
How can I install this one?
I've got a S-ON Incredible S, tried to rename to PG32IMG.zip and put it at the root of my sd card but no luck.
So I've extracted firmware.zip inside the file and renamed to PG32IMG.zip. Incredible S upgraded my hboot and radio but no the os version and now I can't get my wifi working anymore (got error as soon as I turn on wifi).
If I were you, I would use the official RUU instead.
http://www.multiupload.com/7KZ26DUGJ8
It will wipe your phone, but I think you will not be stuck in between 2 versions.
Just my 2 cents though
<EDIT>
That is, if you have a european IS, by the way.
</EDIT>
I'm trying right now, but if I launch the updater from booted os it gives me error 155 which readme says is an incorrect rom image for my phone.
If I try to upgrade from the HBOOT, the updater says I've got not enough battery (30% min) but my battery is full of charge.
Is your phone branded? I think this RUU is for unbranded phones only.. but I am not sure.
I'm trying with the goldcard method, it's flashing at the moment, I'll post my results as soon as it's finished
Ok I just got my IS and I am in America. I go to update and it says I am up to date. I see you can not root the S-on yet so i am stuck in 2.2.1. Also do you get OTA updates if you are in the US for this phone.
Use my downgrade guide, but dont use the version changer and use a goldcard, should've work.

Running unlocked on T-Mobile and AT&T and I bet we'll never get an OTA update... ever.
Quick Guide with S-on:
1, Download one of the official RUU rom (name comes with "signed")
2, Make a Goldcard - will take you 5-20 minutes computer work.
3, Run the RUU rom .exe, keep click next->next->next->..........

Has anybody actually managed to do this with a Bell IS, though? Mine is unlocked on AT&T, and I have yet to try it, because I haven't found anybody that's done it successfully. Most posts that I've seen say they get an error, that the goldcard method won't work on a Bell IS for some reason.

Same here everyone that has tried it has got an error.
hi all,
i know that we can use gold card to update to the UK gingerbread rom from our s-on IS irregardless of the IS region (i.e. asia, hk, etc).
But can we use the gold card to downgrade back to 2.2 official firmware (e.g. 1.38.707.1)?
We are not dependant on T-Mobile USA for the updates, they have no way of tracking. Once HTC releases 2.3 we can download direct over data or WiFi

That's exactly right. The phone calls home to check for an update and uses whatever data network available to do so.
It is in no way, shape or form carrier tied.

I tend to believe you, but I had emailed HTC a few weeks ago asking about this exact topic. Here's their response:
With OTA software upgrades, it's a bit iffy. In some circumstances, update sofware is provided to local stores, who should be able to update the phone for you (policies on this differ from carrier to carrier, where some may be okay with updating an unlocked phone, and others won't).
Sometimes, a downloadable version can be found on our website for the phone in question:
http://www.htc.com/ca/support/incredibles-bell/downloads/
Each device has a specific address that it checks for its updates. Theoretically, the unlocking process shouldn't change that. Your device should still continue to recieve updates, however, it really depends on Bell's update policy when it comes to phones no longer on their network.

Hello,
Please, I did root Incredible S, but I need to go back (unroot). I need back guarantee. Is this possible?
Thank you very much for your answers.
Just do an official update from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
i only suggest that you do not do not flash HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1
(that one can not yet and maybe never be rooted)
also next time just try using the search button and this question had been answered before, but enjoy
Ouuu, thank you very much I was looking for, but I was confused, so I was completely out.
Hello, How do I install the shipped rom, if I am from the Czech Republic?
or it does not matter what install the rom?
and how do I install it, just run only one. exe?
thank you so much
Well done, but I still have the S-OFF. Does it matter when the claim or not? to complain.
No way to unroot if permanent s-off?
May I ask you about some details? Which RUU did you applied and so on?
I unlocked bootloader with xtc clip, rooted device my and am running the latest ARHD now. Everything works fine except when I try to unroot (flash the stock gingerbread). It seems to be just impossible. It doesn't matter if I try to run ruu on my Vista och use goldcard method I always get either "error [130]: model ID error" or "model id error uppdate fail"
I've used two sd-cards: Kingston 2mb that worked perfect on my old Legend and original Sandisk 8mb that was shipped with my Incredible S. I followed all possible tutorials step by step but without effect. I always get the same error.
I live in Sweden and I bought my device from retailer. I'm not really sure what's the valid RUU version for our region so I've used:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_signed
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed (especially this due to the same program and radio version)
but even optus and RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_KT_KR_2.32.1010.1_Radio_20. 2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_199684_signe d.
Unfortunately it's always the same error after reboot into bootloader. Has anybody of you (that used xtc clip but not only) faced the same problem? Is there any way to bypass it? I will be very very grateful for any answer.

Thanks a lot for reply but well...It's not what I asked I was asking about unrooting (just pure taking away this little f... pirate and possibility to come back to stock rom) I'm totally aware of permanent character of my unlocked bootloader.
Anyway I solved problem with help of two threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070348&page=7 and this about canadian dudes' problem with their PG32120 devices and bell stock. As it turned out I accidently change my Modelid during s-offing and wrote it as PG321200, which i didn't know until i succesfully installed ENG s-off and rebooted bootloader todays afternoon. I used xtc clip again (I had to re-create goldcard - hboot 0.99x200 (bell) though) and reverted quite easily back to my original PG3213000. After that I installed RUU without any single issue. Just ENG s-off disappeared, but I can live without that
Can you not downgrade the HBOOT then run said RUU with a gold card. Or you could extract the ROM.zip and use that in HBOOT mode.
Believe me I tried several times and it didn't work as long as I had modelid PG321200. Once I changed model id with xtc clip problem disappeared

Do you know which Rom came with it??
I can send you detailed instructions to unroot and S-On your device but first you need to tell which region your phone belongs and if its branded with some carrier or unbranded???

It worked fine for me and so did for a few others but I heard recently that there are some changes in AlphaRevX and the bootloader needs to be downgraded now.
I S-off my phone long ago when AlphaRevX method was just introduced so may be that's why my bootloader was overwritten by the Rom easily.

PS. I dont own an Incredible S anymore so cant test it myself sorry
I just received a system update on monday 13th feb in india on my htc salsa. The title read Twitter n security fix.
Now that HTC has released this update does the process to get the Salsa unlocked and rooted change?
I mean earlier the rom version was different.
Further can someone post step by step instruction of how to install Iconic & Iconic S -on HTC salsa (its not unlocked nor rooted.) i know there are steps to unlock and root. i just want to know if the steps have changed after this update.If we should skip any step.
Finally will HTC salsa get android 2.3.5? HTC chacha has got it..y not salsa?
the ruu being updated,u can now get your salsa bootloader unlocked from htcdev.com (official way to void your warranty )
ONCE U GET UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED,THE PROCESS TO ROOT THE DEVICE SHOULD REMAIN SAME IDEALLY.MOST OF THE ACTIVE SALSA USERS HERE ON XDA HAVE UNLOCKED IT UNOFFICIALLY SO I GUESS U LL HAVE VERY FEW OPTIONS TO KNOW WHICH STEPS CHANGE AND WHICH DONOT !!
BEST WAY WOULD BE TO TRY IT YOURSELF (OBVIOUSLY AT UR OWN RISK) THOUGH PPL WILL BE HERE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS IF U FACE ANY .GUD LUCK.

i updated the rom and after the update phone just broke down. now WIFI is not working and the keypad is acting funny too. the display is kinda wobbly almost all the time. i did a factory reset. that didnt solve it either. dont know wat to do. is there a way to uninstall the update? mine is not rooted
my wifes wildfire did the exact same thing!
think your best off rooting and moving roms matey
Even I got the software update... i just downloaded and while it is installing it stuck on restart page.. later i removed the battery and restarted worked as normal.. but it still the update is not installed... I tried 3-4 times still no luck to get that update..
I had unlocked the boot loader through HTCDEV.COM
thats because you can't have the ott updates if you have rooted and unlocked your phone.
if.....you left it normal got your update then rooted and booted your phone..it would have worked.

What is your Hboot version too?
If you want to root, now would probably be a good time if you Hboot is compatible with revolutionary
Unless you can find a ruu or ota that is compatible, which I don't know
If you don't want to root you need to find an ruu or ota that works with your phone (I have no experience in doing this)
Another thing you could do is make a goldcard and flash any ruu (I did this)

Yes, you can run the ruu
I don't know which one, either someone else can tell you or you need to research
Just ask someone get before doing it, to be sure, I don't know sorry

You should probably start by installing CID Getter from the market to determine what region your phone is made for. After that, it will be easier to determine which RUU you need to get you up and running. Post your CID here and maybe we can find the correct RUU for you.

i already hav an OTA file for the indian version but from one of the threads but dint know hw to use the file to update my phone....
The problem with OTA files is that they are incremental and are only meant for going from specific versions of software so the fact that you are on such on old version, it is highly unlikely that any OTAs are available, hence you need to flash a full RUU of either the most up to date or at least a much newer release.
As an example, I flashed the Virgin AU RUU that's available on here but it's too old to receive OTA updates. I then used a backup of the software that was on my phone when I bought it and that received an update within seconds of turning on.
So you will need to determine what your CID is and then you will be able to get a newer RUU that will allow you to start receiving OTA updates.

Once again, please put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode and then run the command:
fastboot getvar all
and post the results. This will give us all of the information to help guide you in the right direction.
The problem with an OTA is that it is upgrades you from one specific version to another, so if you don't have the right version to start with, an OTA will not help you.
