Done!!

Thank you all!

The unlocking code worked ok with the Lineageos image. Then I did every
suggested backup, but it was not needed because when I installed
Replicant again, it was already unlocked!

I think it would be good to mention this in the installation page of the
wiki. I mean to recommend, in case the phone is network-locked, to
unlock it before starting the installation (and backup the efs partition
too just in case).

I tried to edit the wiki myself, I logged in, but did not see how, maybe
it is not editable by everyone...

Thanks again! My happiness is replicating!
