s-off+cmw 5+ data2sd the noob way for indian htc salsa

nikzcool · Feb 3, 2012

mine was s-on with boot loader 1.12.720.3 same as most indian htc salsa
download the file adb fastboot and adbwin from below and unzip to
c:\android
and ph11img.zip from this post
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=723431&d=1316354019

copy the ph11img.zip to ur memory card
boot into ur bootloader holding power and volume down..
let the phone search for the zip file and when it asks to update or not select yes and let it update..
now u have the boot loader supported by htcdev.com
nw remove the ph11img file from ur sdcard

goto bootloader again select fastboot thn connect ur phone to pc
goto http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
select ur device as htc salsa
follow the steps directly from step 7
and if u do it correctly ull have a new tab in the hboot saying unlocked...

but it wld still indicate s-on
don worry u can nw easly have root acess nw

be sure to use the fastboot given by me

now first u need to get cmw recovery 5

follow this post to download recovery.rar
unrar it to android dir in c to get recovery.img

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=852074&d=1326296914

while ur phone is in fast boot type the command fasboot flash recovery recovery.img

now voila u got cmw5 recovery
to check pop the battery out again goto hboot
select recovery and a new screen will come with the new cmw5

paste root.zip to ur sd card which ull download from

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=723432&d=1316354019

now in recovery select install from zip and select root.zip and select yes
now u have root acess

ull c a app called super user in ur phone

nw to increase ur internal size

go into cmw5 recovery goto advance then select to partition ur mrmy card
u must create 2 partitions
1) fat32
2)ext3

the size depends on your requirements
once dis is done

go to cwm recovery again, wipe data, cache and dakvik cache. Reboot.

Install busybox, and choose the version v1.17.1

now go to cwm recovery again.

flash htc-data2sd sdcard
reboot
and vooila u have increased ur internal memory space

Reboot

nice tutor, mate. you make it simple. well, im thinking about getting our salsa support ext4. it must be something cool..

nikzcool · Feb 5, 2012

thanks...
ya ext4 would be really good and stable...
ext 2 keeps giving me crash report for certain processes..
eagrly waitng for ext4..

monty80 · Feb 7, 2012

How does it matter? I have ext2 and i receive 'Force close' error quiet often. Will ext4 work better?

BigBearEvo · Feb 7, 2012

ext2 is slow.....ext3 is better and more stable and you tend to not get force close, ext4 is the ultimate!

raviz · Feb 23, 2012

i cant get the ph11img.zip to get flashed

while i enter the hboot it finds it but dosnt ask me to flash it.. i belive it dosnt recognise it as a valid file . what am i doing wrong.

my salsa is hboot 1.07.0000 indian version

BigBearEvo · Feb 23, 2012

thats because with version 1.07 you need to go directly to htcdev for the update...it will update that way easier.....

MBariya · Mar 4, 2012

Good tutorial.

Unlocked my salsa..

Increased internal memory but gives Force close on ext-2 and not much stable.

May be problem of my 8GB class 4 SD card.

Will try again when my 32GB class 10 SD card comes.....

rohanpatkar · Mar 4, 2012

be very careful, safe usage is 1.5gb on any card.

goranhawleri · Mar 11, 2012

hi sorry if im asking a stupid question but im new to this, I followed your instructions and at the end i still see 120mb for internal storage. my sd card is 16gb and now shows 10gb. is the increased internal memory suposed to show or not? also when installing the busybox it said "instalation aborted" at then end, is it doing what its supoed to? if im doing something wrong could you please tell me how to increase the internal space I would greatly appreciate it. thanks for your great work

you just had a total failure on the data2sd side.
plz list up the following so we can help more

1-which rom are you using?
2-what ext partition have you setup
3-how big is the ext partition
4-how did you make the ext partition

goranhawleri · Mar 12, 2012

Hi BigBearEvo Thanks for your reply I managed to get it working but i made a terrible mistake of formating the system, data and cache. Now when i turn on the phone all i see is the bootloader and it will not go past that coz i think i have formated the internal memory( if formating the above does that). I desperatly need a solution, the problem is that forgot to do a backup from cwm, i looked for an official rom but didnt find anything so i tryed flashing a custom rom (chinese rom, as it was the only one i could find) but it keeps saying error. Please if you know a solution to this tell me about it, atm my phone is useless. Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated.
Btw I am from Australia Im not sure what rom i was using before, I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev which meant i hadto download the RUU for Australia and update it. It was running stock rom. Sorry I am not very good at this stuff. When I turn on the phone this is all the information i can see:
ICON_G PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0558
RADIO-7.51.35.19

BigBearEvo · Mar 12, 2012

Do u have recovery installed...if not...then we need to get it installed and get you flashing a new rom again.
Best option is.....somewhere in here is recovery 5.0.2.6 with instructions to flash via adb cmds.
Do this according to post, trust it will work!
Once that's installed go get either iconic or sense 3.5. Flash either of these and presto .....working phone again.
Takes a few mins to flash recovery and upto ten minutes for a custom rom.

Thanks BigBearEvo your a legend, I flashed sense 3.5 just like you said, and it worked like a charm. ,,and if anybody knows of any roms i could download that would make the salsa have the same effect as the upgraded htc desire hd ( the spining of the home pages after you pull the ring up) please do post the link.
Thanks again for your help.

I had the same problem so I unlocked the bootloader from htcdev and continued from intalling the cwm recovery step, it worked for me, try it.

monty80 · Mar 13, 2012

Hay, I used the script data2sd-ext3 and that made my phone slow like a dead unit. However, i guess it is because my SD card is not a high speed card.

So i reinstalled everything without the data2sd script and it works well now.

I have a question thoug. I am using link2SD now, and most of the application are on SD card and still the phone speed is accetable. Not like data2sd(dead slow).

Question: When i use link2sd and move softwares to SD card. Will it move the application to ext partition or fat partition. I am asking this because it seems like my fat partition has a folder for each application I installed. and the space on fat is decreasing.

any ideas?

BigBearEvo · Mar 13, 2012

From what I gather it uses both and it doesn't truley move them. It still shows as using internal memory but holds alot on.SD. I.stopped using it the minute I got access to ext3 script.
