Maybe you could unlock the bootloader as well?

Yup, I'd suggest fastboot oem unlock and then go ahead and flash whatever you like...

No the Galaxy S 2.1 .zip method will not work. It doesn't work on 2.2 Vibrant leaks. SuperOneClick / rageagainstthecage does, however.

Either way, thanks to this not being HTC, we will have it rooted the day it comes out (or sooner).

You realize that the n1, an HTC phone, has a neat fastboot command to unlock the bootloader out of box, yeah? Funnily enough that tiny convenient feature is present in the ns.

Bad HTC for making it easy at the request of Google. And bad Samsung for doing the same!!

quick question idk if you can answer it or if you know the answer to it but will this void the warranty like it did on the N1 and will it make a lock appear on splash1 like on the N1?

I wonder if the new method to root the nexus one without unlocking the bootloader would be able to work on the nexus S..

The warranty language is slightly different this time around (uses "may" instead of "will"). The unlocked icon displays when you have it unlocked. It goes away when you run fastboot oem lock -- at which point it is not flashable until you unlock it again.

I have high hopes that Samsung will be reasonable about hardware warranty service.
