Help BRICKED Samsung Galaxy Gio (not completely)

ekkoper

Lurker
Hi

Today I tried to remove the simlock from my new Samsung Galaxy Gio, but something went wrong.
Unfortunately I can't remeber completely what I did, but I know that I followed a tutorial. I think I used the file 'update.zip' to root the phone and then (I'm sure about this:) I used ADB to get the unlock code:

C:\ADB>adb shell
$ su
su
# cd /
cd /
# mkdir /efs
mkdir /efs
# mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /efs
mount -o nosuid,ro,nodev -t vfat /dev/block/stl5 /efs
#
Type:
cat /efs/mits/perso.txt

The problem is now that the phone boots and it can be used, BUT I can't fill in a unlock code. Besides that, when I try to get the IMEI number (*#06#) I get an empty string (just "IMEI: ____") and when I vies the phone stats, I see "Phone: unknown" (the rest is normal).

Sometimes the phone just shuts down..

Can somebody help me out by telling me how I can fix this?
