I had FC issues when the SD card was inside the phone now that it isnt there there is no FC issue.

Yes I have ROOT, since Superuser is present:good: but I dont know how stable this ROM is so would like to switch to someother stock rom with ROOT access
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
As I said. This rom thats iinstalled requires that SD card. You removed it which does fix the error.

Now If you want stock then head over to android development and look in stock roms. It is easy this way. Once u have stock on you can root it afterwards. If you feel adventurous then flash a custom rom lol. It is an easy process. I'm not gonna sit here and write out what is already written hundreds of times before. So use the ssearch function within this section. Look for Flashing roms.

Note the stock rom I have provided are limited due to users not requesting them so I've listed what's been asked for.

I do wanna get adventures but from what I have seen custom roms have mostly something or the other not working such as Bluetooth or camera issues:rolleyes: Does custom roms in Salsa face such problems?

btw Thanks alot for your replies:good:
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Majority of roms for us do not have those problems. CM7 has those problems lol. There are various roms with various features....the screenshots show them in various threads. Read them.

My own rom is based solely on our own stock So everything works.

Can wildfire s roms be ported to salsa?

like this one

http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/27/hc-miui-rom/

I found a thread describing how to do so--

been there and done it....miui won't work due to there kernels, same for majority of others. whats been ported is listed up...everything else don't work
[HTC Salsa] zeon321:
Can't we port it? Some of the devs out there might help us. We have the kernel source so it should be no problem.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
you don't understand lol...we cannot use there kernel, its not a case or porting there kernel...it wouldnt boot anyway. we have our own which needs to be built , hence cm7 kernel. ive tried so many times so please don't ask it again.
[HTC Salsa] zeon321:
can stock rom be used with link2sd instead of data2sd?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
yes but please be careful as link2sd only links to ext3 so only 40% of you stuff is actually moved. data2sd increase your memory to what ever you have ext3 wise. so efectivilty u can have 1.25gb internal memory as appose to a 100mb internal and a small ext3 ability provided by link2sd
[HTC Salsa] zeon321:
My device had become very unstable with data2sd when i installed over 50 apps. What should be the size of partition if i use link2sd?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
i use my 1.1gb ext3 for all mine. i just don't use link2sd. i would rather use data2sd regardless. what do u mean unstable? it shouldnt be on ext3 as long as you didn't over stretch your partition size to your sd card size and class.

50apps? ive had over 300 and its run fine for me
[HTC Salsa] zeon321:
Every app force closes after 5 mins. I don't know why.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
That's your SD ext3 partition or the sd Itself. Its become unstable for a reason unbeknown. Which rom is this on?

Facebook app is not working on my phone. I have attached screenshots of the error which is coming up.

I found out that this error is due to certificates. Someone posted his certificateshere but Its not flashing. Please don't tell me to restart the phone, clear the cache, blah blah blah I have already tried all of that. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Its the ssame for a lot of people, and not just for our phonr either. So if someone has a fix then please post up. As of yet I haven't and found the only way was to uninstall facebook and reinstall it to the sdcard only. Seems to work then for me.

I found a fix. Install Ad-away from play store, apply ad blocking and restart the phone..
[HTC Salsa] theschneidi:
I thought that it is a certificate problem. What happens when I install the FOTA from HTC, does it lock my bootloader (cause it has 1.03 Hboot inside) or something bad?

Lost Trying to Update Salsa with Data2Sd

Hello folks, first post so please be kind :fingers-crossed:

I've tried for weeks to follow the various instructions here to 1. Root my Salsa. I followed many of the instructions here and have managed thus far to unlock my bootloader and to update my phones recovery with CW 5 as per the instructions. I've since seen on here that I don't need to root my phone to do what I want to do with it. That being extend the internal memory to an SD card and to flash a new ROM.

What I'm REALLY struggling with and I mean I've searched throughout here and followed instructions, is getting my phone to be updated using Data2SD. The thing I'm mainly having a trouble with is that once I partition my SD card to have a ext2/3 and a Fat32 partition (it's 16gig so I've done 1.2gig ext3 and the rest ft32 cos fat will only go to 4 gig if i'm right?) windows wont recognise the card any more so therefore I can't put the zip file Data2SD onto a card the system can't see.

Sorry if I'm missing something basic and obvious or stupid here but my head is about to explode having been at this for weeks.

My other oprtion would be if I could get a ROM to flash which is identical with the ROM that the phone comes with but without all the bloatware thats added y HTC. My phones only got 49 mb ledt of internal memory and I've only added 2 apps.

Be very appreciative if someone could point me in either the right direction to the best ROM to suit what I need or where I'm going wrong with what I'm doing. I am correct in thinking that having unlocked the bootloader and having managed to put CWM5 on my phone that I don't need to root my phone to do what I want to do with it? Sure I read that in one of the updated instructions.

Many thanks and thanks for a fabulous helpful website folks
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
hi there, welcome. im afraid your wrong. to use the data2sd you need root. also when rooted you require busybox. you cannot have this without root access.

if you have done all the things right, then all you need to do is use the phone with the sd card in, copy root.zip and the data2sd u want when the phones active using either the cable or wifi file explorer. then flash root.zip. boot the phone up. once the phones booted go and get busybox from the market. once that's installed you may use the data2sd. it is the only way.

i would be intrigued to find out why you came to the conclusion that u didn't need root to use data2sd. can u show me where you found this information?

as for the rom identical to yours, stock with root is the only one...but its basically your rom with root.zip added. although i changed the Superuser to the newest available now.
[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
Thank you

Hello and thank you very much. i thought I'd read it in one of your posts but it's obvious that I've misread it completely because I did notice others saying you needed Root. I think I read your update at the bottom of one of your post which said (and I paraphrase) that the old way of doing it was to Root - the newer way was just to flash a new ROM so I've taken it that I didn't have to. Obviously I've read that completely wrong - apologies!

Can you just confirm please? Do I partition the SD card then connect the phone via usb to computer because my PC doesn't recognise the card once its partitioned and the phone doesn't think there's a card in it once I've done it. I've done a few things with PC's but it's the first stuff I've done with a phone so I apologise for my lack of understanding. If I can find the links to the instructions I'II send the links but it's quite clear I think that I've misread it all.

Thanks again for your patience and it's clear you are a very knowledgeable person and also quite a prolific "helper" on this site. I really appreciate people like yourself who, without who, I wouldn't evn know where to start let alone attempt to do stuff like this.

Thanks :highfive:
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
lol ty. (Being who i am got me RC status...and im proud of it lol)

yeah the idea is when u flash a custom rom it already has root built in. yourself will not have and will have to root it manually.

so the card doesn't read. sometimes this does happen.

i tend to find it can be various things..

OS (which windows your using) (XP and vista can be a problem sometimes when using the partition wizard)

EXT type and was it setup correctly.

when I've done mine the the past, I've setup ext3 and set it as primary, but when the program refreshes it says cannot recognize the removable drive. i did panic at this point but just shoved the card back into the phone and started it up. i found it did work in the phone just not in the sd reader. weird.

So if you have set it up right using partition wizard ext3/primary then re-size the partition down to 1gb not 1.2gb, sometimes it don't like it in the phone (just won't recognize).

this may help you to solve your problem.

also another way to find out if it is your sdcard messing around, backup (nandroid) your current ROM in recovery and flash a custom ROM...any will do. use the data2sd provided with the ROM u choose and see if the ext3 works. if it don't then its a problem with the ext3 setup u did.

i apologize if it seems long winded but i find this is the best way to explain it lol
[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
No I'm very greatful for your patience and instruction

Not at all it is a long and (for me) complicated thing to do. I think I just find it difficult to keep my train of thought when it doesn't work and I have to restart again. Also my girlfriend who is used to me being able to sort things out gets a bit cranky when I seem to be spending forever on the PC/Phone and never seem to be making any progress.

I've looked around for the stock with root but can't find anything, as I've tried rooting again as you describe but I downloaded a wee app to tell me if Id been successful and it tells me I still dont have root apparently. I thought I might be safer flashing a stock rom with root already as you stated would be an option but don't see one - I'II rake a bit further.

I note from your thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2022592 that you state this is not for newbies and is only for going back to a stock rom. Is there a rom I could flash which is like the one mentioned in the downloads you list at this link, which will give me root and the link2sd all in one full swoop? as I'm obviously not capable of doing this thing part by part lol. Unlike me to give up on things without winning as I usually am very tenacious and don't like getting beaten. i think it's just 1. I prefer to read stuff from paper rather than fish around on screen 2, I'm losing my train of thought especially when I seem to be going over and over the same routine and nothings working and 3. theres obviously a lot of new terminology and instructions to take on board.

i just want to take half the stuff off my phone that I have no use for and a bit more space to add the odd one or two apps I want to add. Can't believe the abysmal internal memory that this phone leaves you as working internal memory out of 512mb that it has internally.

Is there a stock ROM with the link2sd/App2SD or similar already on here that I could easily flash? or one you can reccomend that is near to stock but without the bloatware or which would allow me to remove apps.

Sorry big ask I know - thanks again!

Thanks again for your patience and expert instruction
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
I know that feeling my wife gives me some stick doing this lol but i did her wildfire s and made it better, so can't complain lol

this is stock with a modified superuser.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7c0kr5xpba1w6va

flash this in recovery.

most other roms here are heavily modified as you will see from the screenies.

take note of instruction, triple wipe it, data/cache/dalvik.

this will give you the ability to remove bloatware u require. i did have a list somewhere showing what apps u can remove..i will have a look for it.

if u do become stuck im on Gtalk :-ferretsievo@gmail.com
[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
Okay now we're getting somewhere. Got further in the last wee while than I've gotten in the last weeks beating my head into the ground lol. I've managed to get the Stock root you linked to flashed and I've installed Busybox. I've done an ext3 partition (giving it Primary) and limited it this time to 1 gig instead of what I was doing (1.2gig) and done the remainderof the card (approx 14gig) as a fat32 logical partition. Unfortunately the flipping card isn't being seen by the phone at all. I think Busybox is giving me an error that my SD card must be mounted and that I should unmount it but when I go to that section on my phone it says it can't tell me the available space on my SD card ie: I assume its therefor not seeing it. Is it worth trying a smaller 2 gig card? The cards only a class4 could that be what the problem is?

Thank you once again
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
if your card is a class 4 then reduce the partition down to 500mb lol. you will kill your sd card if u apply it any higher lol.

" I've done an ext3 partition (giving it Primary) and limited it this time to 1 gig instead of what I was doing (1.2gig) and done the remainderof the card (approx 14gig) as a fat32

logical

partition.

there's your problem...........................^^^^^^^^

all partitions must be PRIMARY.

Ext3 PRIMARY

Fat32 PRIMARY

now rectify these issues and it will be fine on your sd card....i did state in the threads all partitions must be primary lol
[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
more info

Further to that I've tried to mount the SD card through the recovery and also tried to format the card and do an ext on the card on recovery too but it all says that theres an error when it tries to do that. Am I correct in thinking that you shouldn't do a format/partition with recovery anyway? think I read that somewhere but again maybe I've misunderstood that too. I'm getting Recovery to do a partitioning of the SD card meantime just in case that tells you anything more thats useful and it appears it's doing that okay although it might not help anything

TY
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP doing the partitons in recovery will proper screw your sd card
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
never do partitions in recovery, see my post prior and u will fix the problem. do nothing else. set the partitions as i said and then restart the phone

Doh!!! what a muppet I am. Sorry my brain is nly of a low rocessing power lol. Okay I'I tr again and see if I canfinally get it. Crikey just one "wee" mistake and it don't work lol.

How do you know all this stuff?

What class of card would I need to get to use a 1 gig ext3 as internal memory?

Can you send me a link to your original instruction thread that you've said all this in please just in case I've maybe not been following it.

TY
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
I'm on my phone so cannot get link, my computers being used right now lol

I have a class 8 16gb and it runs fine.

Go to android development and find how to create ext3 for salsa only. It also tells you the Max size to make depending on class of SD card. Plus everything else u need to know.

It took me months and months or learning, following guides and doing it over and over. I've tried pretty much anythjng that's possible to on this phone...

[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
Me Again sorry!

Okay, Ive tried what you said and have gotten as far as Busybox being installed. I've partitioned my card as per your instructions (you suggested 500mb due to its class) and followed your instructions on following the Data2SD script installation but it keeps coming up with E:Can't mount /sdcard/. Any ideas? or will I try the check you suddested by installing a custom ROM with data to sd already installed so as to check the partitioning of the card has been done correctly? Although as I flashed the ROM from the card anyway, would that not prove the card is partitioned properly already?

How do I thank you for all your help? I can't see the help voting button below your profile. I intend donating anyway but I though a public vote of thanks is worth recogntion too.

I'm glad you said it took you ages to get it all together and learn the score. I thought it was just me being so daft that things weren't sinking in/I was taking too long. It's encouraged me to realise it just does take time and patience. Beginning to find my way around the site more now too which helps.

TY
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Lol it could just be your SD card overall playing up. Its alwways recommended using a high class SD for ext purposes.

As for thanks, every member can thank a post made by others, there is a set limit to how many posts u can thank per day though. I'm my profule there is a donate button to paypal etc if u were to lol. But normally people just press the thanks button. Think I've only ever had 2 small donations in my time here...bought me a beer or 2 though which is a really nice gesture :)

I give up

TY, I've tried a different card - even formatted it as a ext2 and tried flashing the zip file for data2sd (etx2) in case it was that or that it might make any difference. Its bizarre that I managed to get the zip file for the new rom to flash but that the card now says that it can't load in the recovery module yet it can be seen (and its capacity) in notmal operating mode.

I've already voted for you this morning but will send you a donation through for a few beers - least I can do after all your help. TY

I give up!

PS: anyrecommendations for a ROM with app2sd already loaded?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
there has to be something else underlying there, cos thats not right.

there are roms with apps2sd loaded, most i think don't use them anymore though but there still going.

sense 3.5 odex and deodexed

thing rom

m1ndh8x4r 2.1 sense

now bear in mind when using these, when using apps2sd u can use the data2whatever script but it will mess u around to much.

best option really is to use link2sd with apps2sd only.

if u want either of the ones listed above then visit my site for the downloads as they were built by a banned user that no longer helps us.

what are you after rom wise?

Themed (Mild/Heavy) or stock?

modified app usage?

space inc data2sd or apps2sd?

CM7 roms? (current one has no Bluetooth working)

me personally i switch between my own and CM7 depending on what my needs are. Daily its CM7, Combat weekends/training days i use my own rom.
[HTC Salsa] Bigeck999:
me again

TY, no I'm not looking for anything amazing just the stock ROM with he aility to remove the bloatware I don't want and only that so that I can claw back some of the room as theres no internal memory left (46megs left). Fairly simple user so just want to use it as it came minus the bloatware which appears to be using all the memory so Id like to be abe to use the app2sd (just again for the reason of being able to get some space on the phone. I had only put 2 apps on it (shazaam and 1 other) and I only had 46 m of internal memo left. Very happy with the phone and how it came just the lack of interna space is appaling. In short... the phone as it came but with some internal memory left for me to use.

The sd cards I've used have been 2 class 4 ones, a 16gig and a 2 gig which were new and the 2 gig one that came with the phone. I'd quite happily buy a class 10 if I was sure thats what the problem is. Currently a 16 gig one class 10 for £12 o it's not gonna bankcrupt me lol. as i say what doen't make sense is that I loaded that stock rom you suggested (rooted one) without any bother so it seems a bit strange I can't load another zip file like app2sd? Theres no other thing I may have missed for the ext2/3 partition is there? like should it be made "active" for instance as in one of the settings?

Just thinking...I have a funny feeling I flashed the stock ROM with the root already on it from a fat/fat32 formatted card so it may be I've made an error on the ext2/ext3 formatting.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
doubt it..thinking

hmmm i can try and deodex a stock/root rom for you...this gives 150mb back as system lol.

i can debloat what ever you want before you flash it. thus getting you ready for data2sd using EXT3 already if u want or add apps2sd.

which rom would you like this on? euro based is quicker as i already have this...and tell me what u want gone and ill sort it for u.

PM a list of apps u want gone and how you want the stock rom and ill get to work for u :)
