Firstly you require s-off.
to find out if you already have this.

• trun off your phone
• whip out battery
• reinsert battery
• hold down the volume key and press power button.

this screen appears

at the top where its says s-on or s-off.

to unlock this you will need at present an XTC Clip from Raskal from XTC Clip Website owned by Raskal

Instructions on how to use this were found by gdavies08 hereXTC Clip Instructions

Next onto the rooting.

9. Choose Go Back, then reboot. Root is done.

When confirm a selection, it's better use camera button then power.

This really does work. i was able to root my handset within 5 mins total. Once you have rooted via this process, the root.zip file contains busy-box & superuser and gets pre installed. This is not temp, this is Permanent root.

Myself and gdavies have successfully done this and am sure we can help in anyway!

Hi ,

Firstly thanks for this wonderful guide that you have compiled

as of now my device (purchased in INDIA) has a S-ON as you have mentioned that the S-OFF is possible only using the 'XTC' chip which getting here locally is next to impossible , is there any possibility that in future we my be able to S-OFF our SALSA without the XTC chip ..
was going thru the WWW and I found this :
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

will the unrevoked (or a similar ) software be available for the SALSA users.

Thanks!!
