I believe your issue was from using a T-Mobile SIM Card. You are supposed to use a NON T-Mobile SIM Card and punch the unlock code in the dialer..
STEP 6 of the OP:
You can now use the unlock code when you put in the non-T-Mobile sim into your phone and unlock your phone. You can check the unlock status by dialling *#7465625#. All the locks should say "OFF".
I know the unlock is for non t mobile.. I ran the program to get the unlock code for future use. I shut down the phone, put t mobile Sim back in then started it up and it said pin blocked.. Does running prob then disable previous Sim?
It was the original Sim, then I put in my old Sim from old phone and it all worked minus connection from non activated Sim.

Ok that's what I thought. so if I put in another provider Sim will a prompt come up or do I input code when I click emergency

It was the original Sim, then I put in my old Sim from old phone and it all worked minus connection from non activated Sim. I removed Sim and activated wifi as directed, just confused why I had to call customer service to activate my phone..

I have a rooted, non active (not using T-Mobile anymore) Samsung T-Mobile Exhibit SGH-T759, that is locked to T-Mobile's network. I have AT&T now and my son lost his phone so I need to unlock this one. I tried to pay for an unlock code and they were unable to generate one for it. Everything I have read about this phone seems to point to Samsung Galaxy. I have even read that they a virtually the same phone. Would this SGS4G work to unlock my phone?

Hopefully fixed all the bugs related to sh syntax (needs testing and confirmation)
October 10, 2012
Updated busybox checking (for people who refuse to read the OP and instructions)
Made the script more SH-like
Made sure that the programs/commands the script use are the ones provided by busybox
Fixed a derp with a then clause
January 30, 2012
Updated screenshots in OP to reflect the script's output
The script no longer requires superuser access (though you will still need it to install busybox)
Added debug output for dd command
Added ERROR function and error code to catch when nv_data.bin is not found.
January 22, 2012
Changed script's working directory
Added version number and creator info to the top of the script
Added a message in case the unlock code is not found (added by stephen_w)
-- Adapted to sh instead of bash
Cleaned up the script to only show debug messages when wanted.

Added a link to the git repository holding the script's source code:

* Vastly increased performance gain. Now copies nv_data.bin instead of doing a bml3 dump so you get your code in around 1 second after running the script.
* Should now find your unlock code even if you unlocked your phone already.

Updated to version 0.3
* Added a switch to the grep command (provided by stephen_w) to hopefully eliminate the duplicate code bug.
