xl VipeR lx please link to this post in the OP.

The PG58GIAG file cannot be used on a 1.2x Hboot.
This is most likely because of the change in partitions in the newer Hboots.
For method 2 to work, you need a GB Hboot i.e Hboot ≤1.18.

NOTE:
  • This method will erase your phone's data (apps, settings, sms, etc.) !
    Make a Nandroid backup from recovery before doing this & restore the backup later if you don't want to lose your data.
  • This process is permanent, & non reversible.
  • Your CID will be changed to 11111111 & MID will be changed to PG58*****

So for anyone on a 1.2x Hboot looking to Carrier Unlock by clearing S-58 data, here's what you do:
  • Download the 1.17 firmware for your device from the User Friendly Firmware thread.
  • Follow the instructions in the thread to flash the firmware.
  • Remove the SD Card & get rid of the PG58IMG.zip & put this PG58DIAG.nbh [Mirrors at the end of the post] on your SD Card. (You need to use a card reader or use the method at the end of the post)
  • Reboot to the bootloader & clear S-58 data by selecting appropriate options.
  • Once data has been wiped, pull out the battery to power off the phone & exit from the diag.
  • Remove the SD Card & get rid of the PG58IMG.zip. (You need to use a card reader or use the method at the end of the post)
  • Download the 3.32 firmware for your device from the User Friendly Firmware thread.
  • Follow the instructions in the thread to flash the firmware.


It is possible to do this without a card reader.
  • Once the PG58IMG.zip is flashed, remove the SD Card.
  • Pull out the battery & reinsert it.
  • Hold vol dow & power
  • Select Recovery
  • Put the SD Card in
  • mount /sdcard
  • Then use the toggle USB storage option to mount as a disk drive.

Hope this helps.
Hope the sim card works now :D

Edit: my phone does npt get any signal :(
