Hello.

Write Security backup, which was created during "Unlock" operation, back into the phone (Backup saved as C:\Program Files (x86)\Octoplus\Octoplus_Samsung\BACKUP\Security-GT-I9505-359921052732132-06-04-2015_14-55-44-.asec file).

Then do exactly the next:
1. Write firmware GT-i9505_for_Unlock_and_IMEI_repair from the Support Area.
2. Root your phone manually.
3. Connect powered-on phone to PC via Micro USB cable.
4. Click "Unlock" button.
5. Follow software instructions (prompts).
