Wasn't there that bug in android where if you would type in anything it would execute it as a shell command as root?

- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoThe original builds of Android for the G1 had a root terminal running in the background that used keyboard input even though it was invisible and not focused. This allowed you, eg, run telnetd and then connect from your PC to run commands as root, which included the ability to re-flash the bootloader and jailbreak the OS.
