Windows Phone Unlock Tool Goes Official

Posted by Soulskill on from the wait-what dept.

judgecorp writes "A tool to unlock (or 'jailbreak' if you like) Windows Phone devices is now available with Microsoft's blessing. ChevronWP7 Labs was withdrawn at Microsoft's request a year ago, but is back now, allowing users to run any app on their phones for a cost of $9."

    1) App market works just like before
    2) The $9 price tag isn't from Microsoft, it's from the guy who made the unlocker. He is selling it.

    Christ. Here's the Git repo and download instructions. Google did ask CyanogenMod to stop distributing its Google apps (Market, etc.), but not Android itself. You can download those apps separately, and I'm sure Google could restrict those devices from using Market if they tried. Perhaps your mother should have taught you not to lie.
