The telnet application tanks on my phone (1.1, RC8). Like more and more apps these days, since getting stranded without cupcake...

Does it work with Htc Magic??? Remember that this phone have a virtual keyboard instead a physical keyboard....
Thanks

I don't have an active sim for tmobile so I can't get past the gmail registration to get wifior telnet or anything. when I try to to the recovery img all that comes up is emergency calls. Do I still just type telnetd and all the commandline stuff even tho nothing but "that's not an emergency number." Can't get the hardspl obviously cuz I haven't enabled read/write
Hey, my android phone doesn't want to connect using locahost/127.0.0.1:23. The system says "connection refused". I downloaded many terminal, but occurs the same. The connection is refused.
I have been having many problems to upgrade my Android 1.6 to another...
Please,if you have any idea, tell me...
I have used the VERY SIMPLE www.unrevoked.com
Simply connect your phone, and click start :-) Vola! Your phone is rooted!
there is one more step to be performed before pressing the enter twice, one should configure internet and create/signin to that google account to get the home screen: http://linuxforpro.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-i-flashed-my-htc-dream-t-mobile-g1.html
