hboot 2.49

I also can't S-OFF under Hboot 2.49 many times by firewater or rumrunner.
but after I install the Lunar Max Kernel, I could S-OFF easily and very quickly by firewater.

choose the recovery you want and download the img. for instance i like twrp, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498746
place that img in your adb folder
go into fastboot usb, and under your adb command prompt type this without the quotation marks "fastboot flash recovery "name of the img file".img" then reboot and you should have your new recovery there, make sure you pick the compatible recovery to your device though.

Thanks for your reply mate.

Iam using 2.7.1.0 recovery, Sprint_Stock_3.02.651.5_Odex rom, tried different kernels but no luck, when installed on the first boot will get just random colors on the screen.

I use standard commands from firewater site:

adb reboot <–important!!!!
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater

I've located a sprint max for cheap. Is firewater still working on the latest sprint firmware?

Me too. I just got a great deal on the Sprint One Max. Just trying to find the best way to SIM unlock it. It's on 4.4.2.
So many different guides. I already unlocked the bootloader.

long time no see.... HTC dev unlock it. Flash back to an older stock rom (firmware version is no factor here).. run firewater.

Just did this for a user on latest firmware the other night so i can confirm it works. Glad to see we might share a phone again.

Use this rom to do it...

    I was fighting a long time for this but finaly I got it working. Here is the how to and the requried files within the download.

    !!! ATTENTION !!!

    If you are needed to use ADB or FASTBOOT you

    (!!!) MUST (!!!)

    use my files within the Package - ADB Folder


    ​
    1. I was using a fresh installed Windows 7 x64

    2. Download my S-OFF Package here: http://ul.to/gqwmbc08

    3. Install all required Windows drivers and also the USB drivers. If you are using USB 3.0 you will find inside the S-OFF Package the latest USB 3.0 driver.
    4. Unlock via HTC the device

    5. Use the STOCK (!) HTC 1.19.401.2 ROM ODEX

    6. Install the SuperUser v. 1.99 Edition(http://download.chainfire.eu/420/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99.zip)

    7. Install the HTC driver pack from the S-OFF Package

    8. Reboot your device several times that Windows will install all the required drivers for your MAX device.


    Now, let's do S-OFF even if you are with hboot 2.49.000
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    1. Flash the recovery from my package (recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-t6.img)

    2. Flash the boot image from my package.
    ATTENTION!! Within this boot image almost every security is disabled. Just only for S-OFF your device!!

    3. Factory reset the device

    4. Do the default setup with select nothing. Only connect to WIFI and that's it.

    5. Don't use YOUR ADB and FASTBOOT. YOU MUST USE MY ADB & FASTBOOT FOLDER

    6. Download firewater temproot (!) and run it
    YES - I know you are allready rooted but you need to run it.

    7. For some reasons I'm 100% sure that you will get successfully root with temproot :laugh:

    8. REBOOT

    9. Wait until the device is back

    10. Now run firewater S-OFF with default instructions.

    adb reboot
    adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
    adb shell
    chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
    /data/local/tmp/firewater
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Within 10 sec. you should now see this:

    j5kl4rrwim1h.png


    Let me know if you got it!!! Enjoy your device and may the S-OFF with you...​

    It will not work. firewater server has been turned off. this thread really need to be closed out.
    Click to expand...

    I'm inclined to agree. Because Firewater has been shut down server-side, this guide will no longer work. Thus, this thread is not really needed as it is outdated. So, to discourage people from trying it (assuming they read through the thread) and to avert future arguments, I'm closing the thread.

    To @MrT69, you should consider editing the first post to reflect that Firewater doesn't work at this time. Also, please PM me if you feel it should stay open.

    The new method that works is called Sunshine (from the same developers). While one may disagree as to whether they should charge money, they do have expenses - test phones (many bricked figuring things out), hosting, etc - that need to be met. Also, they should be rewarded for their expertise as evidenced by the fact that no one has figured out s-off and undercut their price point. If you don't like being charged, then figure it out yourself and give it away for free.

    In the meantime, we NEVER allow members to disrespect developers, especially using foul language to do so. If you feel it is acceptable to do so, please reread the rules more carefully.

    Feel free to PM me with any questions, concerns, or accolades,

    It was really making me crazy because I have 4 device and s-offed all of them in 1 minute except the device of my friend

    So it's really obvious now that the newset firmware stops firewater from working even with old Rom and any one should first downgrade

    So hope the op add my comment to the first post because it will help those stuck with the newset firmware

    Also @AOWS
    U can use the zip in the link below to remove tampered and lock and unlock your device without need to pc or any thing
    Just flash it in twrp recovery and choose to lock or unlock or remove tampered

    Follow these steps for sprint .. added sprint firmware

    mido.fayad said:
    For sprint only

    Now follow these steps carefully :
    1. we need to downgrade the rom to 2.09.651.1 ... I think u can use any stock backup and restore it and make sure it will boot because u need to flash the boot.img manually
    Or flash latest viper Rom which I prefer ( use viper rom for sprint )
    Also don't forget to flash the super su zip to make sure it's rooted ( I know that viper is rooted but please follow instructions and flash super su zip from recovery ) and test if your device have super su installed and working or not

    2. We need to downgrade the firmware also to 2.09.651.1 because it's the culprit which stops firewater from working :
    Yes you will downgrade the firmware with s-on device
    To do this follow these steps
    A. you will need to download this firmware ( sprint only )
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1kAXZSHj6XyaHFwSTVzc0l2RjQ/view?usp=sharing
    B. copy it to your adb folder
    C. You need to lock your device to be able to flash this and make sure you have your unlock code.bin which you got previously to be able to unlock again faster if Firewater failed to achieve s-off with locked boot loader

    So now u should open cmd and write this to lock your device :

    fastboot oem lock

    C.Now we Will flash the firmware posted above :
    Make sure that you have the firmware in the adb folder and follow these commands and please copy and paste them :

    fastboot oem rebootRUU

    Then

    fastboot flash zip firmware_2.09.651.1.zip

    Then use the same command above again to make sure it's flashed properly

    Then :

    fastboot reboot-bootloader

    Now you will be in bootloader and you will see that mainversion is now : 2.09.651.1 [emoji2]

    D. Now you have also stock recovery flashed so open your device and do hard reset from backup and restore in settings

    E. Open your device and activate debugging then follow the firewater steps

    F. Firewater may be won't s-off from the first time and go through all of biottles so in the first run only, try to open the screen in the 7th bottle then your phone will freeze so do a hardreboot by power and volume up then follow firewater steps again without interruption

    F. If this succeded tell me .. if not reunlock your device with your unlock code and do the firewtater step again
