Well I guess I was wrong, D-Ultimate Unlocker did fix it but I dont know how. As you can see it was changed to Brown CID49 with OTP of CID51. Dont ask me why! No one has answered so I figured it out. Trial and error. I found out that DUU had fixed the phone after all so I could use the C to connect to XS++, SETOOL LITE, Far Etc.
In DUU I selected phone model w580i
I checked box = repair erom / semc boot
I checked box = Show Codes
On security zone operation I selected unlock(+ sec.zone rebuild)
On set certificate to: I think I selected no certificate change
So what I got was the log in the beginning of this thread posted above. I was upset because I thought it did not work so I was tired and up till midnight and had to get up at 4:00. Sorry all!
Anyway i was messing with XS++ and SETool and thought that maybe I could use DUU to change cid to red52. I accidenttally changed it to CID53 first and then found SETOOL dind't like that so I changed it back to CID52. I tried it and it worked as you see below.

I did a gdfs backup and FS read asap with XS++ and SETOOL. I did an Identify with both XS++ and Setool and found this:

After this it started right back up and is working. Tried both AT&T and T-Mobile and worked...UNLOCKED even.
I dont exactly know what the Brown thing was about but I changed it. If anyone can explain this all to me and help it make perfect sense then I am willing to listen. And so I hope this can help the next poor sole who has the same problem. I dont know why DUU worked but the $22.00 was not so bad after all. I have just spent 3 days trying to fix this and did it. A NEWBIE!!
I would appreciate a thank you or two if it help anyone out there.
I still would like to know answer to the six questions in beginning of thread.
