ChevronWP7 Closes - The End of the Jailbreak
The legalized Jailbreak that was organized by Microsoft and a group of hackers called ChevronWP7 is over. There are no more unlock tokens to be had and one of the strangest incidents you could imagine is over.
The ChevronWP7 group engineered a jailbreak for WP7. Then Microsoft got annoyed and then they offered the group some T-Shirts and help building a legal jailbreak. Everything went quiet for a while and then the ChevronWP7 Labs website appeared offering "legal" unlock tokens at $9 a time.
At first things didn't work well, but eventually they got it all to work. But when you got a token it was fairly restricted in what it could do. You also had to have a Windows Live ID, which allowed Microsoft to know who bought what. One token would only unlock one phone and you were still subject to a 10-app limit on what you could load.
