I doubt it. You can bring a "rooted" linux laptop onto the plane and it works, so banning rooted phones from inflight WiFi would be a little silly. I am interested in the linked story, but it's very odd that a passenger wifi network would be cross-connected with flight controls. That the network on a non-wifi seatback entertainment system could be is a little more believable, but I'm still curious how it wouldn't have resulted in an extended grounding of all aircraft of that type if it were true. There was no grounding, or order to modify that system following his twitter posts and subsequent arrest. Edit: If you search around for what happened after the incident described above, it seems pretty clear he did not send any commands to flight systems. He seems knowledgeable about them, but seems to perhaps have been caught out talking about a theoretical scenario as if it happened. He wasn't charged, and as mentioned, no actions were taken to change anything. I suspect the networks are properly isolated.
