[HTC One V] hackajar:
Yet Another HTC One V Unlock Guide

This guide is just another way of presenting walkthrough for the HTC One V phone! Some may find this more easy to follow, other may find it more difficult. It has helped a lot of people with the NinjaTel conversion, so I thought I should share it here!
