Hello

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with NFC (I9100P)
I backed up the full efs folder and attempted to unlock it using galaxy s unlock, but any attempt to do so makes the device lose the IMEI, althought it gets unlocked properly

I tried to delete the md5 fils for them to get generated again with no luck, I also set permissions and group ownership to the files
If I restore my old backup and establish the file permissions and group manually the device gets the IMEI back but becomes locked again

What can I do?

Thank you.

Just pay your carrier, better than losing IMEI :D
