Google sending out update RC30 to stop root access

[My_Name_Is_Neo]

Any Linux distribution would have done that.. you cannot have a flaw in the OS to give the root access.. You cant even imagine what it can do.. i can write an application which can retrieve all your personal info from your phone sent to my mailbox with that flaw..
and they are going to release the updated code that fixed the flaw.. its opensource but if you understand it.. its the code google released & is build by HTC and put onto our phones.. if you want unsecured code you can buy n OpenMoko or something and run it on.. you are free to do that. but for a consumer phone its so very nessasary to close these holes..

I am happy that they are fixing this problem, that way I don't download something that could brick my phone or give some 1 access to my info/phone. Stop complaining u its still open source for crying out loud. However I do agree that people should have gotten at least 1 update espcially if they got the phone the day it came out.

ickifemle why don't you inform us WTF it is your talking about, at least in my comment. Your sarcasm does not explain your point. Unless youthnk next to impossible in installing third party apps on the g1 is uncheckng a box in the option menu.

i love how they are "pumping out the updates" and i still haven't received one since i got the phone. RC19 for life?

That's my point exactly -- there's no reason to "jailbreak" the phone, and comparing the G1/Android "jailbreak" to the iPhone jailbreak is not appropriate due to the vast differences between Apple's stance (not allowing certain applications that aren't different enough; not allowing applications that may strain relationships with carriers) and Google's.

If anything this "jailbreak" is a gaping security hole that should be closed ASAP.

since the updates are coming through tmo's network, im sure google has very little power in how they're distributed OTA.

..doesn't stop google from pumping them out...

the update has been postponed due to some new issues that have come up according to the mod over on the t-mobile forums
