S25 Ultra Linux Terminal still can't get virtualization access with stable One UI 8

[hitmancho]

This topic has been addressed in a few threads during the Beta testing phase but there was no reply until the official release, which has already occurred. My S25 Ultra just got the One UI 8 update and the Linux Terminal still cannot get virtualization access.

 I am aware this happens only on Qualcomm devices like mine but I was under the impression the Elite SoC supports this as per Google's requirements and the conflict is with Samsung Knox that Samsung has to address to work. Will this happen with any hot fixes or any workarounds for people that need this very useful native solution?

Ridiculous that hardware is officialy supported, there is problem only with software compatibility. Top tier of mobile SoC, huge waste of potential...

I was so excited for the One UI 8 update for this feature alone, I really hope Samsung fixes this quickly.

Come on guys.  This was the number one feature of Android 16!  Paid top dollar for my Ultra, and this is what I get? 

Terminal setup Error:

Unrecoverable error

Failed to recover from an error.

You can try restarting terminal or try one of the recovery options.

If all attempts fail, wipe all data by turning on/off Linux terminal from developer options.

Error code: java.lang. UnsupportedOperationException: Non-protected VMs are not supported on this device.

was so excited for this, got the new s25 ultra and now this?!

Make sure to all send feedback via Samsung Members app, hopefully this raises more awareness in Samsung team.

Samsung, now this? 

[theorytwelve]

Yes. Very disappointing on the flagship phone to have this not work.

I've been refreshing to see if the update was available for my S24U and finally got it today. I was most excited for this but it doesn't work. I hope they fix it

 Samsung is a bad company.
