Things I want to confirm:

You have a i777 (att gs2)
You are rooted
What rom/what version of android are you on
If you have previously run this tool when you were on gingerbread on this phone

I can say from experience that the tool you posted works on ics (rooted). Pretty sure it should work for jb too.

Follow the instructions here once again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1289395
(You don't need to root again)

How are you checking if it worked? The code mentioned in that thread only works for Samsung based rom's. If unlocking is absolutely necessary, and you're somehow sure you're not unlocked, make a nandroid, flash to a Samsung based rom, check if unlocked using that code mentioned in the thread I listed, if not --> unlock phone using steps in that thread, check for unlock using code

That code only works on Samsung based rom's. You're probably already unlocked!

Just go to any Samsung rom, and punch in that code to confirm!

Default jelly bean

I have the same phone as you and after research I am not convinced there is a good enough jelly bean rom out there to use as a daily driver, im just curious to know what jelly bean rom you are running?
