I did as you said prior to actually reading it thinking maybe it needed to be updated. still get no unlock code. like I said before though, it could be because my device is already unlocked.

Nah, it's not that because the script isn't finding the busybox commands:
Code:
Doing hex dump
[B]od: not found[/B]
Finding unlock code
[B]grep: not found[/B]I don't have busybox installed, so I don't know if it requires you to be root to access/use the commands or not. Maybe open a terminal and see if the commands are there and if so, where they are located?
You need both Busybox and root privaledges, as it says in the OP. Make sure you are running the script as root as well by toggling the root icon in script manager.

Those errors are from busybox not being installed, though the script will NOT find an unlock code once your phone has been unlocked. I found this out on my phone but luckily I was working with a file backup I made previously which still contained the unlock code for my phone. After you do a carrier unlock, the phone modifies your nv_ram.bin file erasing the unlock code and changing some bytes in the file to allow your phone to work on other carriers, which means that the unlock script will not find the code.
The busybox installer I posted in the OP, as ultima said, will work, which is why I posted it there to begin with. I haven't trusted the busybox installers you get from the market as we've had problems with them before, which prompted me to make the CWM installer to begin with.

thanks fb for clarifying that for us. also, I would like to say that I'm sorry for not being clear in my 3rd post. after updating/installing busybox, the script ran with no errors. but like I said, there was still no unlock code which you conveniently verified for me the reason I stated from the get go. so now all I can say is yet another great creation by team acid.

Glad I could help. It's always good to have more information on how the software you're using works. Leaves all the guesswork out of it.
I wouldn't try it anymore. If you're in the US and trying to use the phone on AT&T for example, I'd call T-Mobile and get the code from them before you run out of tries and lock your phone permanently. It might be because of how your binary file is laid out.
If you want, grab the bml3 file that's in /sdcard/bml/, zip it up and send it to me via PM. I'll look into it but I give you no promises.
Total noob here
Trying to unlock my phone but cannot download script to SD saying not supported....?

What is saying not supported? What browser are you using?
Using phone brwser....aftr doing more reading finding that i need to learn to root first, guessing i may be over my head until i reread a bit. Thanks.
Yup, you'll need to be rooted for this, but it's really easy to root your phone. Look in the dev/general sections as people have asked and people have answered how to root before. After this the script will be able to do its thing.
okay, and on the side note thanx for the GB Ext 4 Starter pack guide, since I cant post in the dev section yet. I did get the E: can't mount /cache error after step 4 but after doing step 8, rebooted with "data converting" the rebooted back to recovery the /cache error disappeared. xD
Yeah it'll do that to you, kind of annoying 'cause you're seeing "error" and thinking whoops I did something wrong, but it'll work just fine after you flash the GB files.

39I have released my paid app that will let you easily unlock your phone with a native Android app at the touch of a button! If you have trouble using my free unlock methods the app will be able to unlock your phone even if the unlock code did not work.

I recently did a carrier unlock on my SGS4G and thought it was too much of a hassle to have to use hex editors to find your code so I decided to make this tool.
November 7, 2012
Hopefully fixed all the bugs related to sh syntax (needs testing and confirmation)
* Gets your carrier unlock code
* Easy to run script, no more using hex editors!
* You will need to boot up your phone without a sim card in it, though you might need to get on Wifi.
* Root
* Busybox. You can use my CWM Busybox Installer
1) Download the script file, save it on the SD card
2) Download Script Manager from the market
3) Open Script Manager and run the script from the SD card
4) When the dialog comes up asking you to run the script, tap Run
5) Your unlock code will be shown on the screen and will be saved as unlock_code.txt on your sd card
6) 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".
Script Manager (Android Market)
sgs4g_unlocker.sh
CWM Busybox Installer
Unlocker on GitHub
Here's the changelog:
sanfranx415 and SS2006 for the steps to unlock
stephen_w for his contributions to the project
ultimakillz, bhundven and raverx3x for testing
bswann for providing a bml dump to find a duplicate code bug6I got pretty excited. Thanks for the heads up.
Of course man!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium6. Pretty soon I'm going to release the app I'm working on to make unlocking a matter of just having root. It'll work on Froyo/GB and ICS ROMs. Initially it will only support the same features as this script (displaying your unlock code).
The next version will support unlocking by editing the nv_data.bin file in addition to support making and restoring backups of the efs partition.
Note that it will be a paid app.
