14 DAY TRIAL // This translates into very good news for G1 owners who now have a way to use the few inaccessible portions on the phone's Linux-based OS, which were, according to the manufactures, created to protect the system from any type of infestation.
After some voices claimed that people should have complete access to their phones, hackers came to the rescue and designed a way of bypassing the system in order to give full “knowledge” regarding their devices. The iPhone was similarly hacked in June 2007 through the process of “jailbreaking”. Their promptitude in hacking into the Android system is remarkable. Few people were expecting such delivery in a short time.
As a result, G1 users can now install new programs or even a new operating system as, in their immense generosity, the hackers left instructions for accessing the shielded off zones all over the Internet. Unfortunately, they did not debate on the fact that giving regular users full access on their phones and, more importantly, over Google's operating system might not be such a smart thing after all. Even so, in their defense, they did advise that only technically sophisticated users should proceed with this highly delicate operation.
As a result, after admitting the “jailbreak” in the system, Google announced that along with their partners, they are working on a fix and an update that would restore things after the changes occurred. Also, Google and the company manufacturing G1, Taiwan HTC, are bringing in experts to create other Android systems.
Unlike Google's Android operating system, the Internet contains free information, so using the instructions in order to get full access will be done on your own responsibility and our actions will probably not go unheard. Please proceed with caution.
