Android OS RC30 update
I don’t know if it’s a game of cat and mouse sometimes between mobile manufacturers and hackers. The hackers always seem to be one step ahead of the game or very close behind. Last week we saw that hackers could gain root access to the Android OS and was simply done using the PTerminal app available from the Android Market.
Google said, “We’ve been notified of this issue (Jailbreaking of Android) and have developed a fix. We’re currently working with our partners to push the fix out and updating the open source code base to reflect these changes.”
The update is being rolled out OTA (over-the-air) as we speak, so keep an eye out for an automatic update notification on your T-Mobile G1. I’m sure it will only be a matter of time before this fix is hacked and off we’ll go again.
