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.

Also try copying a large file to the phone eg 2gb in size while running the s-off script. Users have reported that it worked for them.
yeah i tried firewater but i dont understand there instructions on how to use adb and what commands to enter.
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!
Hmm I'm no expert in adb cmd. I just followed instructions but after reboot it should reboot.
