As the G1 runs the Android open-source OS, trying to jailbreak the phone seems rather silly. But apparently some clever people went ahead and pulled it off. Jailbreaking the G1 means you can install any application you want without being restricted to what’s officially supported.

But don’t worry sports’ fans! T-Mobile strikes back. The new firmware update, RC30 takes care of the whole jailbreaking thing! RC30 will block that telnetd which was used to get root access which means you won’t be able to do exactly anything with your G1. Anything that HTC, T-Mobile or Google wouldn’t want you to do. Here’s what 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.

Your move jailbreakers!
