Chinese Redmi 6 not accepting SIM after changing from Global ROM - General Questions and Answers

I had a chinese redmi 6 that had an unlocked bootloader and global ROM and it was using a Giffgaff SIM. Bootloader got locked and it bricked. Finally got it back on its feet again with a chinese ROM and want to unlock bootloader which requires a working sim. However the giffgaff SIM will no longer work, the phone recognises it and my phone number and all the network settings but wont use it.
Do i need a chinese sim?
Thanks!

SM-G930F became locked after installing custom ROM

*** UPDATE: it's a SM-G930FD, rather.
Hello,
I have a SM-G930F which I got from a carrier (Smart Telecom) here in the Philippines. It came unlocked on both SIM slots... after flashing the SuperMan-Rom I am unable to use my other SIM (Globe Telecom) on this phone. At first it was asking for a SIM PIN which I don't remember setting and eventually it locked me out asking for a PUK, I contacted my telco for the two PUKs (1 & 2) but neither work. Put the non-working SIM on my old phone and it works.. got the SIM replaced thinking a new one would work but it's still asking for the PUK even from a fresh SIM. Could it be that my phone became "locked" after flashing? Kindly need your help!
Thank you!
Tried flashing stock again?

Activating second slot without unlocking the bootloader

I now that Chinese version of this phone is dual sim and global version, single sim, but i found that Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro global, are physicaly (hardware) dual sim (they have two sim slots), but with software (global ROM) limitation, to only one active slot? By unlocking the bootloader and flashing xiaomi.eu, or another custom ROM, the second sim slot can be activated!
My main question is: is it possible to activate the second sim slot, without unlocking the bootloader? For example: changing the region, or something else?

Unlocking xiaomi bootloader with old SIM card?

Hello,
I got a new xiaomi poco and i'd like to unlock the bootloader. However a sim card is needed. I do have an old, deactivated sim card lying around. The phone does detect it but it doesn't recieve any signal and i can enter the xiaomi login menu (impossible without SIM). Has anyone tried unlocking the bootloader with such a card? Was it successful?
Thanks in advance

Tmobile sim unlock + bootloader unlock to switch to Global. MSM tool will it relock the sim?

I unlocked my tmobile one plus 8t and bootloader unlock to switch to Global for the dual sim. But now i want to switch back to tmobile by using the msm tool to restore.
Will it relock sim on phone or will my phone still be unlocked after msm without doing anything?
SIM lock and unlock status are independent of the OS, so flashing between Global, T-Mobile, Chinese, India etc, will not alter the SIM lock/unlock state.

Is your device completely paid in full
-- As long as your device is unlocked (60 days after initial purchase from Verizon) then it will work with any SIM
-- Refer to porting out your mobile number to another carrier
-- Power off device, remove SIM card, wait a few minutes, reinsert SIM card and try again
The Verizon modem only works on the Verizon ROM, unfortunately. Unless you want to flash a custom ROM, you have to stick with OxygenOS to keep your cellular data if you have an IN2019.
