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!
