Well, this didn’t take long. A samdroid.net admin by the name of LeshaK just announced that he had rooted Galaxy S, after playing with the open source code released by Samsung earlier:
Now we have
1. Full Root access from adb
2. Root in terminal via ‘su’
More detailed instructions are posted in the thread.
While I haven’t seen anyone verify LeshaK’s statement yet, if true, this is going to make the upcoming Galaxy S series phones twice as delicious – perhaps somebody will come up with a Froyo ROM before they are even released here in the US (Galaxy S is out in Europe).
For the latest root status, check the samdroid.net forum link and these threads on other sites that sprung up in response:
Thanks, PaulOBrien.

i 4 1 like to see this phone on sprint i have the htc hero (DC 2.09.1 oc to 710) and the fact that i don’t like the Evo is a big thing for me, my friend has it and it needs a lot of work be for its as stable as the hero (plus $10 extra come on) so a good 1ghz phone thats not 4g would make me happy (no 4g where i live anyways) and i like the over all Ui on this phone and now that i know its rooted i want it even more, or a nexus one come on sprint
why are you putting all of your eggs in one 4g phone that most mite not like.
*Sigh*
