UPDATE [SEP/13/2010]
"Samsung Mobile Canada Thanks to everyone for your continued patience and feedback as we work through the three-button reset issue on the Galaxy S Vibrant. Rest assured, it is a top priority. Please stay tuned for updates this week."
I'm assuming when they say "updates" they mean status updates, not actual firmware.
Samsung Mobile Canada: Some of you have reported to us that there is an intermittent software issue affecting the Galaxy S and “recovery mode” functionality. We’ll be announcing a downloadable software update shortly. Thank you for your patience.
I will laugh when the update bricks those phones
I'm one of the lucky ones.
Sorry if this has been posted already.
I see it has been posted in some 3 button threads.
Glad for your guys
Well, Hope the update can really fix this problem.
Quite unexpected to see Samsung announcing they're going to fix it. I always thaught they just disabled the function to prevent custom firmware flashing.
There is virtually no logical reason for them to disable it. As they only sell hardware for profit, they should keep repair/support cost as low as possible.
Bricked phones mean more supporting costs for them even if they charge some service fee.
I just sent in my bricked phone and they repair it for free, that surely cost them some money.
Woah!!!!
can't wait
Stop, wait, think. It might not be an official facebook page. And this has already been covered multiple times in two existing threads.
Sorry, I know this is a friendly forum, just trying not to get my hopes up.

Do you think the fix will be adapted to work on the UK i9000, Samsung UK just refuse to acknowledge the problem, so I doubt there will be a fix for us.

the i9000m and i9000 (uk) are virtually identical
so yes, it will work
just flash the i9000m fixed ROM to enable it (when they do release it)
then you can flash back to whichever other ROM you like after that and see if it keeps the enabled settings

So the fact that it's linked through http://www.samsung.com/ca/ leads you to believe it's not an official facebook site?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice the empty dev topic. Just curious if anyone has mentioned beginning to work on this project.
I soon will be getting the device my self and I'm keeping a close eye here to see how things unfold.
waitting for this
I plan to replace my Atrix2..ha ha
I'm sure we will see more in the coming weeks.

well has anyone WITH the phone given any attempts? just following some of the other android root attempt threads can at least give devs a jumpstart as to what DOESN'T work....
Didn't the xperia s devs just get root for locked bl? It seems there is an exploit in ics that can be used for root. Does anyone have ics preinstalled on their ion (like say from malaysia or something...) so someone can start on using this method?

Well mot many devs have purchased it... Im also very busy and not very professional or i would start it... So i guess we have to give a month for ppl to show up

I've tried both SuperOneClick and DooMLoRD's method on two different computers with no luck :crying:
It really sucks having this phone and not being able to do anything with it

I wonder if this will work on the ion. Guess it depends on if it needs something from the ICS flash that they are doing on the Xperia S.
Is the ion even out somewhere with ICS...didn't think it had been released yet anywhere with it.

you might be right. I just remember seeing it demoed at xperiablog and thinking it was already released somewhere: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/06/20/android-4-0-4-officially-demoed-on-the-xperia-ion-video/. I think the vulnerability is innate to android 4.0 (i might be wrong), so I think once an ion with 4.0 is released, we should be able to take advantage of it.
I guess the wait continues. bummer...

I got bored and decided to chat with Sony support to maybe get an update on unlocking the bootloader their way or an update and they said in some countries there's already been an ICS update for it, nothing came up in for anything I searched other than people asking about an update.
I'm fine with 3.7, can only imagine speed, etc of a tweaked version. Other than the bloat I must say Im pretty pleased fellas. Looking forward to getting into it but in the interim theres nothing really bugging me(no pun intended), shouldn't be too bad of a wait.
Another fine machine from Sony far as I'm concerned. earbrain

Certainly not going to risk a brick or anything unnecessary until there are sufficient means available. eb

Nobody has any news? Really getting to me now not having this thing rooted -.-
Install the International fw. It isn't the same thing as having it rooted but at least you get rid of all the bloat and you can use the stock tether.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
I haven't really got a use for tethering, two years with a rooted HTC Aria I think I used it twice. The bloatware I can't uninstall doesn't really matter to me either, I don't even notice it since you can customize your app drawer with ADW. I really want root to overclock tbh.

I'm working on it. Trying to see what methods from the Xperia S we can bring over to the ion. Would be easier if I had an ion with an unlockable bootloader (DAMN YOU AT&T). I have my friend at Sony checking with the devs there to see if maybe there might be a way or at least a hint they could give us. It will happen, just gotta be patient.

Agreed highly. None of my phones in the past have been this difficult to unlock and/or root so I'm now trying my best to be patient haha. I had a rooted s-off HTC Aria for two years and root access made that phone 100x better so I'm just imagining how much more amazing the Ion will be, ridiculous step up from the Aria.
Spectre51 is correct... It will happen...its just a matter of time is all.
Complete shot in the dark question here... And forgive my ignorance to this phone, as I won't physically have it in hand until tonight... But...
I wonder if someone from the PSP "Modification" scene could help with this?? I understand the differences in the two devices, so please don't flame me...I'm not retarded. LOL.. But what I am getting at is this... Everyone has patterns to their software/firmware... its just a matter of identifying it... Maybe because this phone is Playstation certified...there may be a hidden link somewhere?
I know...this sounds crazy, preposterous, ridiculous, etc... But what if?? IDK...just throwing ideas... I'm gonna try this unsecure kernel thing tonight and see how far I get with it. I'll keep you all posted

Remember the Unsecured kernel is only good for LT28i and not the LT28at, due to being unable to unlock the bootloader for the "at" version.
Hello. I recently bought my first xperia, the xperia S.
Noticed after I bought it from an auktion site that I can't unlock the bootloader. I asked the carrier if they could unlock it and sony as well. No solution
Are there any development going on to solve this problem? I've heard that the Sony signature server is offline so i guess paid services are out of the question.
I also think that this problem deserves more attention. I'm sure there are alot of people like me out there suffering while their fingers are burning to be able to install new kernels and obviously cyanogenmod...

Lots of people with the same locked bootloader all looking for a way to unlock it, lots of people have worked on it too, all to no avail.. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137561 or wait a few days for XSX2 to come out..:fingers-crossed: you will probably be happy enough. kernels will still be out of the question though.
That was what I was afraid of... Thanks for the information

I just got this notification for the update and I think it is the October security update but I'm not sure if I should update be because I recently read about some nexus devices getting stuck in bootloops after the nougat update, but I'm already on nougat and I haven't seen bootloops. I'm not sure if I should update because I don't wanna end up with a bricked phone. Can someone please guide me?
I'm posting from a phone web page so I can't seem to upload the picture of the update, it's 46.7 mb in size.
I'm wondering too. Got the update yesterday, but didn't installed it yet.

Airplanes crash yet people still fly every day because there's no point living in fear of a small statistical chance.
Don't live in fear. Update your phone.
Or don't I don't care. You could always choose to never upgrade again in the fleeting hope that you'll somehow be able to avoid or delay a hardware issue to occur by not changing the software. A laughable proposition if you ask me, and why would you want to delay that until the warranty runs out anyways?
I had actually heard from a reliable source that this update adds water proofing and microwave charging capabilities so I jumped right in personally.

Nope the seller does not provide warranty, it did come with a warranty thing, a bag to return the phone with and stuff like that. It's supposed to be for Australia because it says you can post this to LG for free in Australia. I'm not sure if I can send it there or if it would be valid to do so, because I'm in a different country. If you do have some information about how to send phones for warranty while living in a different country, please let me know. It will be appreciated.
Is it possible to flash the latest Korean firmware update to a US unlocked S20 Ultra model?
I would wait for official OTA!

That's kinda what I figured,I'm just one of those flashing firmware via Odin between carrier firmware and unlocked firmware hoping they can kind of get a handle on all this Camera stuff or come out and say sorry we released the phone a little to soon and going to recall it until the issues are completely resolved.Wishful thinking on my part but if you're going to push the envelope to these extremes you might want to take as long as needed to iron out all the kinks.Don't get me wrong I Love the S20 Ultra,just wanting this phone to be the best that it can be.
We all want it to work properly but even though I am a flashing, repairing, backing up, modding guy, I do not recommend flashing it. Samsung must come out with a software update or a hardware update. They have a history of recalling and fixing their products and even though I am also angry about it, I am positive that a fix will come. We could debate about possible causes and the most logical is that they wanted to push the smartphone industry hard but the testing team did not do a great job with it. It could also be an industrial sabotage but let us not fall into that hole. I am also loving the phone just like my predecessor said but the bitter taste is still here and it shouldn´t be because it is a hardware masterpiece.
