I was trying to install Ubuntu for smartphone on HTC Salsa. In the final step I got the following error.

~$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash --channel=devel --bootstrap
2014/08/18 22:54:19 Expecting the device to be in the bootloader... waiting
2014/08/18 22:54:19 Device is |icon_g|
2014/08/18 22:54:19 Device icon_g not found on server https://system-image.ubuntu.com channel devel

Please guide me. I followed http://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

The HTC Salsa is NOT supported. The officially supported development devices are only the Nexus 4, 7 (WiFi) and 10 from Google. The instructions you posted will NOT work with any non-supported devices.

A wider set of devices is supported by community-driven ports but I see no support for the HTC Salsa there. See here for the list.

The status page for each device in there gives instructions on how to install, though again, ubuntu-device-flash can't help you and you would need to follow a device-specific installation process.
