Ok folks. Somewhere I goofed when returning my phone back to stock and I forgot to reset the "Tampered" Flag. I have successfully re-unlocked the bootloader, but am not able to re-gain S-off with revone, Moonshine, or firewater.

revone says it is successful, but I see no changes to s-off.

Code:
shell@android:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -s 0 -u
revone v0.2.1

revone successful.
shell@android:/data/local/tmp # ./revone -t                                    
revone v0.2.1

revone successful.

Moonshine just stalls out on test 3 and fills up pages of dots.

Code:
wally@wally-linux:~/Downloads$ sudo ./distiller 
[sudo] password for wally:

Firewater says it is not compatible with my device.

Not quite sure what I am missing. this device has been rooted, s-offed and unlocked for the last year. It currently has root on the stock rom and 1.44 HBoot that is unlocked and S-on. Does anyone have any input to point me in the right direction?

I'll give both a shot tonight. I thought I could do it with a stock Rom.

There's also an AFH Mirror here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=251

but check the date of your bootloader, because you have an AT&T version, and they have patched hboot 1.44

so the date in bootloader has to be before June 2013, then revone will work with this ROM guaranteed.

if the date is June 2013 or later, then use rumrunner, firewater, or sunshine
(or the ATT downgrade method, but rumrunner would probably be easier)

Rumrunner did the trick. I thought it wouldn't because I had a 1.44 hboot. It is dated 7-13 so it is the patched one.
