what are the chanced of that happening?
If you were able to use another sim card on it how can it be sim-locked? I'm not aware of what sim-lock actually does due to never experiencing it but doesn't it mean that you can't use another sim card from another carrier in the phone? If you have been able to use other sims I think your phone should not be sim-locked...


It would be better to simply flash a ROW pr1.3 firmware with a pr_legacy_001. It is a vanilla firmware with no operator remnants...
