It appears you used the wrong command. Look at Leroy's response:


The auto on when lifting the lid, try from Terminal

sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00

this disable the "lift the lid" method.


You typed "%100" not "%00"

This is not possible the AutoBoot on keypress cannot be disabled. (If you need to wipe clean the key board, reboot holding the Option key and let the Mac sit at the Startup Disk Manager.)
