still having netlock / simlock - what to do?

[Guest magmag83]

ok, i have completed the following newbie-steps, but there is still a netlock / simlock after i have typed my sim-code, what do i have to do?

For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:

- Download the patched recovery image linked above and install as detailed in that post

- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card

- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'

(- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup) <- i haven't done a backup, is this important?

- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.

- all done
