Thanks a lot! It worked like a charm...

Tried rumrunner but without success. Firewater did it in under 30 seconds! Amazing! :)

I have a German Telekom based One Max with 2.46 hboot (T6UL).

Thanks for your work!
[HTC One Max] japodude:

Hello

I'm getting an "firewater requires a working internet connection on your device" error message despite being connected to a wifi (I can successfully ping from shell).

hey... my mob start only 2 recovery nd hboot . . .

and i cant make a factory reset or download any new rom...

my mob is unloked but S-ON

i go 2 the recovery and i try this . . .

bt when i type "adb reboot" nothing happend!!

can i have S-OFF 4 it when im in recovery??
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
According to my information, you need root access to S-Off with firewater. It seems you dont have ROM installed or it is courrupted and thats why you are not able to boot into ROM and phone can only see Hboot and Recovery only. Install any ROM (I would prefere a stock ROM), flash SuperUser file and then S-Off.
[HTC One Max] a.m.masri:
this is my problem!! i cant install new room or have s-off on my mob!!
[HTC One Max] beaups:
Why not? Is device unlocked?
[HTC One Max] farazhassankhan:
Sure you can install any ROM without being S-Off even. However, you'll need to flash boot.img via CMD and than you can install any ROM
[HTC One Max] a.m.masri:
yes its unlocked but... but it cant mount sdcard this is my problem, can u c it?? :

I am currently trying Sunshine. I have paid for and run it and this is what I see in my bootloader screen

***UNLOCKED***

T6WL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-VZW_001

HBOOT-2.49.0000

Note: I do not have "Tampered" showing above Unlocked.

I tried installing SuperSU, but I received the following error:

"There is no SU binary installes, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device."

So far everything on the phone still works as normal, but I do not seem to have root. I have been asking some questions over in the sunshine forum thread. We will see how it all works out. I am optimistic.
[HTC One Max] brossma1:
Please keep us posted I am considering the same I am also unable to get firewater to work
[HTC One Max] thafrogggg:
Ok,

I have successfully used Sunshine to get everything done. I am unlocked and S off. I have since installed TWRP and flashed SuperSU using TWRP so I am now also properly rooted.

The only thing different I noticed during my process than what is described in the Sunshine discussion thread is that I do not have a "Tampered" banner on my bootloader screen. That being said, my fingerprint scanner does not work right now.

Everything else on the phone does work, so unless there is some compelling reason to do it, I think I will just leave the bootloader unlocked, I never really used the fingerprint scanner anyway so I am ok with it not working.

All in all, I am satisfied with the results of Sunshine, and the folks over in the Sunshine discussion thread were nice and helpful with any questions.

[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Instructions would be get your paypal account ready to pay $25 for s-off. Firewater is discontinued and only way to s-off is using sunshine.

Firewater no longer works. You will achieve s-off at http://theroot.ninja/
[HTC One Max] jm1llz:
I installed sunshine but I was already mid-process with another guide and have already unlocked the bootloader and installed insert coin. So now when I start sunshine it tells me my ramdisk/kernel has been modified and I need to flash to stock. Can I just flash stock m8 rom from tmobile and the issue will be fixed or do I have to relock the bootloader?
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
If you are trying to s-off a m8 device you are in the wrong thread. This is the t6. Not m8. You need to flash a non-modified boot.img. Go to m8 thread and ask over there and you may get a link.
[HTC One Max] jm1llz:
Ok, for some reason I thought I was in the M8 section, apologies. However, my question is more about generally getting s-off to work, I'm guessing it would be exactly the same on the t6.
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
It's basically the same process but you need a non-modified boot.img which you'll find in the m8 thread.
[HTC One Max] pandaball:
As firewater has been shut down server-side, this guide no longer applies. Currently, only Sunshine works, and users should try that if they want s-off. If you don't wish to pay for it, you can develop your own s-off method and publish it for free. I have modified the OP to reflect that firewater is no longer supported. Thread closed. Feel free to PM me for any questions, queries, etc.

[HTC One Max] edorner:
After gaining S-off on a fully stock device using Firewater + temproot, what is the easiest method for permanent rooting?

Since due to S-off full access is granted to all partitions, is it possible to install the su binary and superuser / superSu apk to the /system partition without flashing a custom recovery? For example by using "adb push" or a root file manager?

Where can I get a su binary? Should I extract it from superSu / superuser recovery ZIP package?

Could anyone walk me through the steps?

Would you post a screen shot, i think it would help to see whats happening.

i would use the supersu.zip from recovery, that's the easiest method i would say. everyone at XDA knows where to find one, so i am not giving you a link for that :p

don't think there are any more steps for rooting.

[MENTION=4551527].MoHaMaD[/MENTION] Question dude! I see that you're locked. You can't install custom recovery unless you set the bootloader flag to unlocked, correct?

I've been S-OFF since the Evo 3D via Revolutionary. You could S-OFF and install custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader.

Setting the flag to unlocked would allow for custom recovery, correct? Then you could just set it to locked after install custom recovery... But you couldn't update recovery until you set it to unlocked again...

Do I have that wrong, am I partially right? Please let me know!

That's correct, you got it 100 %

Have you checked after wards if you are s-off? I did the same (used the last version form firewater site) and it did not gave any warning that it failed or succeeded, just returned to prompt, did a adb reboot fastboot and checked the screen. it was off.

Yeah. Always S-On. I finally got it though with Rumrunner. I was putting all the rumrunner files in the platform tools folder. Finally made an S-off folder, put platform tools folder and rumrunner folder in the s-off folder and it worked. I started messing around with rooting and s-off at about noon. It's been a long head banging day. Now to try and do the Sprint Sim Unlock.
