do not go by what it says on the phone, if you didn't do what's in that thread, you ARE NOT sim unlocked!!

1)First off, I am confused about that thread because it says a lot of don'ts and do's. Can someone take a quick look at what i did already on my phone as opposed to what I have to do. it says scarey things on that page about patched and unpatched radios. Can someone just clarify if I can downoad the unlocker since I have a custom ROM installed already?

2)I still don't understand why I have to purchase a sim unlocker code again according to that thread you've posted. I agree the store guy probably didn't unlock the SIM, but he definitely got me a SIM code. So isn't there just a reflash cab to unlock the SIM.

3)I'm pulling my hair out here. I appreciate everyone's help and am astonished by all the hard work people on this site have accomplished, but I believe the reason why people ask so many repetitive questions is because this forum is an absolute mess. Someone should just make a one stop shop, step by step thread instead of putting all the pieces together going to different threads for different downloads(rediculous). I believe if we put as much time in preparing an organized thread as we do programming these phones there will be a lot less help that people need. I myself am one to blame for multiple threads I'll admit, but this is exactly the reason.

4)Here is another option I wanted to ask you guys. This store offered to put android 2.2 on this phone. Will I still have these same issues(not getting 3g and having to do all this unlocking)? Or are my problems gone. What if I get my hands on an HTC Evo Shift?
