With the DInc Froyo OTA still on deck, what could this new software possibly mean for us?
Any ideas, folks?
Yes, I know in a few hours it will be unveiled probably, but I want to know what YOU think.

one word....s-off
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Wow finally, eh? Thats a break from the more usual f_off lol.
Since this thread is already made, would anyone mind telling me 1 or 2 benefits of this? I'm a noob and really only know about rooting, flashing ROMs and some standard stuff in adb. How will having s_off help the herd of people like myself, or is it only for the devs and super nerds (no offense).

From what I understand, it allows you to flash new HBOOTs/radios at will, delete components within the /system folder while the phone is up and running, etc. I'm sure there are a host of other things, but that's what I'm aware of so far.
I guess all things Unrevoked Forever/s-off are in the "Unrevoked Tweet" thread in General topic. I'd link to it but am using the app and I don't think there's a way to do it.

Story of the Incredible's short life...
j/w, they are holding the fort down because of bricking (which I appreciate, I rather not have software that could cost me my phone and from what I've read it's almost a 50/50 rate bricking rate at that, not a <1% issue), however I'm curious which phone(s) it's affecting (the initial release was suppose to support Evo's and DInc's... so are both phone having bricking issues or only one of them).
Regarding the now-released Unrevoked Forever tool...

I really don't care for your snide remarks, I was just trying to be helpful. For people who have problems rooting their device via ADP, or one click root. So they can take advantage of all the hard work that our devs do for us.
But for future refrence, since this was a horrible/wrong place to post this information, where would you like me to put it? I respond better to people who are more polite.

Honest mistake, no worries. People have just been getting up in arms lately over posts like this. I'm sure people just get tired of repeating the same thing again and again, so it's nothing personal.

No this will not unlock the bootloader. This phone is known for having very tight security and the efuse chip that locks the bootloader. Of course this doesn't unlock the bootloader.;-P

I know this is another GalaxyS device, but it seems that there really isnt any interest for it in the community. Does the ticker screen cause enough compatibility issues that we most likely wont see Cyanogen or anything for it? What about support from Samsung, are we likely to fall behind the curve for 2.2 release?
Iv had it for a few days and I love the formfactor, but Im considering swapping it for a fascinate for the modability. Any opinions?
There is currently no support from the developer community, but all it takes is one good dev and we'll be in business. There's really no way of knowing if 2.2 will lag behind, since no US Galaxy S phones have gotten the update yet... Only time will tell on both I'm afraid.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Samsung has began releasing the 2.2 update in certain countries from what I've read. So it should only be a matter of time before the USA gets it. The update will come via Kies I believe (Samsung's update software for PC).
As for custom ROMs for the Continuum, I believe development may be slow for this phone due to the ticker display. The ticker makes it more difficult to develop for. However, I'm confident we'll get some custom ROMs at some point. I'd be really nice if Samsung skipped 2.2 and went straight to 2.3 but that'll never happen.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
One of the first things we are going to need is a custom recovery to be able to backup/restore the phone. I suspect this will take someone loaning their phone to koush in order to get clockwork recovery and rom manager support. I know I am leery to try anything without having a way to restore, even if I have to restore to default.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Yeah a stock ROM would be excellent. There will be plenty of people who delete necessary apps with root access even before custom ROMs are available.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Well we're gonna need a custom recovery first, so that is one of the bigger issues.

Glad to see the Continuum Forum up and running! I know very little about development and such, but I'm open to testing out things. I'll be following the threads here as much as possible.
I was thrilled with the idea of this phone when it was released, but the limits on the ticker make it nearly unusable (no gmail? and Samsung's e-mail app is horrible).
I was thinking about returning it, but with the new found forum here on XDA, my hope is renewed.
Ok so, I've given it the mmost time I was willing not to say anything, but Can we please get an update or 2? PLEASE!!!!!! It's killling me!!!!!!

I will also take bets on whether or not said phone is actually bricked.
Bricked sounds like a funny word to me...

Did you figure out why it takes up so much space? Downloading Roms take space and so do back ups. Just remember to clear out your clockwordmod download folder every once in awhile.

I know there are a lot of anxious people out there like myself who are stuck without root and S-ON. I have been setting up my SDK and the kitchen over the last few weeks ( I have kids ). If you want to get involved, here is a quick reference to what I have found recently. What I miss most *now* about not having root is the ability to test my own ROMs on my own EVO.

I don't get all the fuss. Taking an OTA update loses root. No secret there. Were a bunch of people so interested in the official GB that they didn't want a day for a rooted rom?
There are those who lost root due to receiving replacement phones and there are those that are new to the evo and received their phone loaded with the update.

I totally agree. I know that fits my situation. My phone should be out on the truck for delivery today. Got my fingers and toes crossed it has an older build on it.
Regarding this post though. Very good idea and I really hope some people that can get this done chime in. Root is desperately needed back to the Evo.
Forgot to mention that when you register as an Android developer in the market, you become eligible to order a fully unlocked phone; Nexus One and HTC dev phone 2.

As it stands......no, too many differences between the devices, however it may lead down the right path to unlocking the OG Evo. Believe me, I'm following it (I have a 3D & my wife just got a refurb warranty OG Evo with the update).

I'm interested. Please feel free to post or PM me with your thoughts. But, I have to imagine the OS still maintains some degree of control (if it's even possible to compile and execute assembly programs in Android). I'm afraid there's probably a reason no one else has done that . Thanks!

One click is to much steps(irony right?)....
Do the catch recovery before reboot method which is really simple and easy. You get root and recovery at the same time.

Play with your xoom for a while then this. I would install the tiamat rom but I don't want to wipe my xoom.
I've decided to skip roms and tiamat or whatever. Looking at threads some are WiFi version only. Then some are different firmware version. I just want stock Verizon with whatever current version its at instructions. It's just to big of a mess for me to spend time digging through literally hundreds of posts researching on what should be closed threads restarted with fresh instructions. Not 4 month old threads. I'll just root adb, use setcpu, and wait for 3.2 uupdate. Then ill join in since ill know where other people are starting from.
It really is a mess. With my Droid x it was simple. A few ways to gain root and all the Roms nicely laid out ripe for the picking. Instruction clearly labled if you have firmware xxx do this, xxy do this. No wonder people are afraid to root. I am, now.

Ok I can't quit that easy. Looked at xoomforums. I think my whole problem was forum layout. Viewing this forum on their premium app jumbled everything together.
