Enjoying your new found root access to your T-Mobile G1, are you?  That’s great.  Soak it all in.  We’ll wait.

Ah, you’re back.  Well, thanks to the G1′s over the air (OTA) update model, that root access is going the way of the dinosaurs.  For now, at least.  RC30 is being developed and will be sent out as an OTA update soon, and it will fix the telnet based back door in the RC29 and older firmware revisions.

From Google:

We’ve been notified of this issue (Jailbreaking of Android) and have developed a fix. We’re currently working with our partners to push the fix out and updating the open source code base to reflect these changes.
