T-Mobile G1 Rooted

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

An anonymous reader writes "T-Mobile's G1 phone, the first commercially available Android based phone, has been rooted. The exploit is extremely simple to execute, just requiring you to run telnetd from a terminal on the phone, and then connecting to the phone via telnet."

    Clearly, we should avoid using windows.

    How can a 'UP!' be offtopic?

    Mod parent UP!

    But seriously, I sometimes do the same thing when I moderate. If the comment includes additional text I'll moderate based on that, though.

    Ok, but "Overrated" is way different from "Offtopic".

    Next time I'll type the entire "Mod parent UP!" like our An ominous Cow art friend did with your post, so I can avoid Mod Nazis.

    The C was intentionally wrong. Sorry about the English though - brain not working properly tonight.
