You may need to try it numerous times for it to work as some members said that it didn't work right away for them but after a few more attempts it was all good :)

Yeah I tried Firewater and it succeeded but after a few Times. I got stuck at the adb shell command and it would go past there so I exited adb then started again but this time from the adb shell command and it went smoothly from there.

Open CMD window and just type exactly what is requested on the firewater website. First fastboot devices to see if you are all up and running then fire away!

so i opened the cmd window and typed in adb reboot and i says it does not work am i missing something? also it says Push, Prepare, and Execute firewater

Hmm I'm no expert in adb cmd. I just followed instructions but after reboot it should reboot.
