Google patches up Android jailbreak with RC30 update {Engadget Mobile}

Nov 8th 2008 7:28PM RC30 fixes a rather serious Android bug that sends all keyboard input to a background root console. This bug is what allowed the telnetd jailbreak, see http://android.jim.sh/index.php/ConsoleShell . The update has nothing to do with preventing unlocking (a different form of jailbreaking, which is incorrectly linked to from this article). And as it has been noted, anyone who has been with T-Mobile for three months can already receive an unlock code for their phone.
