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

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

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

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

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

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.
