Gphone jailbreak

• SwellJoe 18y ago
  As one of the comments pointed out this is not a "jailbreak", it is "logging in", which is a very different thing. Of course, allowing non-Android apps access to the keypad, screen, etc. may require more effort. I'm going to tinker a bit this weekend...I'd like to be able to run an audio tracker on my G1, so I can write tunes on the train.

    According to http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4351 http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4351 which is linked in the article: Full system access, read and write, has been obtained Basically, you can log in as root and fully access the file system. Since you are no longer confined to a certain part of the system, e.g. via a chroot, I think that qualifies as a jailbreak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jailbreak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jailbreak

      Actually, you're taking my comment in the opposite direction I intended. My point was that no jailbreak was required. The system was already open--you just needed to provide a way to login (which was already installed). So, I wasn't arguing that full system access wasn't available...I was arguing that nobody had to "break" anything to make that possible.
