Please correct me if I understood it wrong, but what this actually does is install a previously unlocked file. Am I right? Would that mean all users that follow your methoud would end up sharing the same IMEI and losing their own?

Thanks.

Clean install can restore your original IMEI, after that backup your IMEI than do this method, if your IMEI changed, you can restore it from your backup...CMIIW...

Guys, may I know please how can I unlock my phone using the advice given here, which is the extra file that needs to be flashed, is it PIT or PHONE or CSC ? I have a different phone, but I think it works similarly.

I already installed Cyanogenmod and it was still network locked, and if I install a branded ROM from another country I guess it will be locked again. Now downloading a custom ROM, but I don't know what will be the outcome, but maybe I could add an extra thing to flash to make it unlocked.
