so I used the all in one tool and followed the steps to unlock successfully. Then I tried to install a ROM leaving S-On and it failed. Now I'm stuck Unlocked, S-on and I can't seem to install any custom roms and I can't use the RUU utility because I'm S-On.

I have tried loading numerous ROMs via sideloading both in TWRP and CM and they keep failing giving me the following error about halfway through:

* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *

I can hard reset and get into the bootloader just fine, and since it's unlocked I can push recoveries, but I can't seem to make anything else work at this point.

Is there a way to gain s-off with Firewater using just ADB at the bootloader? or is there another way to gain s-off?

Or is there a way I can just go back to stock and start over?

Thanks again for the help in advance!

Need more info.
What roms are you trying to flash?
Are you checking the MD5 to make sure they are good downloads?
As far as I know there is not an official version of CWM recovery.
Have you tried pushing a rom while booted to recovery?
Code:
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

I've been trying all of the roms while sideloading while in recovery.

Tried TWRP 2.7.0.2 official.
and TWRP 2.7.0.7 from Captain Throwback: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?16278

I'm also getting errors when running the sideloads about mounting the partitions when sideloading in 2.7.0.7:

"E:Unable to mount '/data'"
"E:Unable to mount internal storage"
