T-Mobile G1 Root Access
Feel like checking out what’s under the hood of your shiny new T-Mobile G1? Well, The folks over at XDA Developers seem to have found a way to gain root access to T-Mobile’s G1. All you’ll need is to download the PTerminal application from the Android Market and follow a few simple steps, which are:
- Turn on your phone’s WiFi. This gives your phone an IP you can reach it at.
- Get to a command prompt on your device by using the PTerminal application from the Android Market. (adb shell does not seem to work with these instructions, telnetd does not start up)
- cd system
- cd bin
- telnetd
- netstat (get your phones IP)
- telnet into your phone’s IP from your PC
- you now have root access
