[HTC One Max] MrT69:
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.

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.

Within 10 sec. you should now see this:

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

Me too.
[HTC One Max] mafyas:
If I'm going to do this again, I will do the same, I did skip the boot.img and proceed with Firewater, works fine!
[HTC One Max] Winins:
do anyone have boot.img stock to revert¿?

my version is 2.61.707.1
[HTC One Max] MrT69:
The hboot inside the ROM file is the extraction from the OTA update from HTC.

It's not my hboot. These are the original files from HTC.

[HTC One Max] asteetva:
Is it for International ROM?

I can not find the stock rom version you provided on ypur post.

If I flash the recovery you provide the phone boot loops.

alright just so i dont brick my phone. i have weaksauce and 2.49 hboot. basically, i flash all of this via my phone or adb?
[HTC One Max] ceo4eva:
Well from reading the instructions i didnt really see any commands being done on the phone so i would say ADB. the files from the stock rom take forever for me to download so i havent done it yet
[HTC One Max] usnspook:
I'm not sure why so many are having problems with getting unlocked and s-off with 2.49. I was able to do it in 15 minutes. You just need Weaksause, Root Checker, SuperSU and Firewater and magic happens. Just make sure that root checker says that you have FULL ACCESS and you'll have S-Off.
[HTC One Max] ceo4eva:
You need to download firewater via internet explorer also
[HTC One Max] etherbunny:
Soft Brick Cannot S-OFF

I got a HTC One MAX from a friend that I think he TRIED to root and failed. Now the farthest I can get is into the boot loader and recovery. The boot loader is unlocked, but I cannot get S-OFF to try and flash ANY rom to it. I cannot get ADB to see it. Fastboot commands work, but not ADB. Only thing I can think of is that the USB debugging may not have been enabled, but there is no OS for me to boot into to check. I would even be happy finding a stock RUU to flash back to it just to get it working, but I cannot find one that works. I keep getting errors that it is the wrong RUU.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One Max] ceo4eva:
Are you having any problems with firewater? Did you make sure the drivers are installed properly on your system?
[HTC One Max] etherbunny:
S-OFF

I have downloaded firewater, but every set of instructions I find runs adb commands. My laptop is not seeing any adb devices at all.
[HTC One Max] ceo4eva:
Is your Android sdk up to date?
[HTC One Max] etherbunny:
S-Off

Fresh install of sdk
[HTC One Max] mafyas:
Just flash custom recovery, then install any custom rom matched with your device. Boot it up, proceed with firewater to s-off.

[HTC One Max] etherbunny:
Every custom ROM I try to flash is failing. I was under the impression that it was due to S-On.

Wondering if possible to get a visual step by step how for this. I downloaded everything listed and don't know what to do with the firewater download to get it to work. Any help appreciated
[HTC One Max] kybalyon:
I am on the same boat I have tried every single instruction on this exploit and still unable to S-off please if anyone can be more specific with the hows and step by step instructions it will be much appreciated. I have the VERIZON HTC ONE MAX (totally stock with hboot 2.49.

[HTC One Max] millbean:
Another question. If I'm s-on how do you flash a different recovery as stated in Op ?
[HTC One Max] thayl0:
All you need to do is temp root with weaksause and run firewater. I have no clue what the op is explaining.
[HTC One Max] millbean:
Installed weaksauce and it just times out once go through all the steps or it will just go to my adb command prompt start up line

[HTC One Max] mrkrowely:
i keep getting stuck on a bootloop when i flash your boot.img. and i'm flashing via fastboot using YOUR adb folder. Help?

I'm running sprint t6whl with hboot 2.49, twrp, superuser update 1.99, and vipermax 2.0.0,

i even restored to my backup of stock rom from just have getting bootloader unlocked and twrp flashed, and still stuck on bootloop.

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

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.
[HTC One Max] thayl0:
All you got to do is unlock bootloader run firewater. Profit.

What commands do you use to push Firewater
[HTC One Max] roman26:
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

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...

am i missing something? :o

it is on the 3.02.651.5 firmware

Switch to Twrp 2.7.1 as the latter has bootloop probs

S-off seems impossible

Hi

According to your latest up2dated experiences & discoveries, How can I S-off my One max (3.15.1540.1) H.boot 2.49.000 ?

I bought it last month... I've tried & spent many times with many kernels & even Roms such as "Insecure Kernel, Lunar max ... & Viper max2, Nusense6 & stock 5.5 2.61.401.3 ... . and every time it stuck on bottle 2 or 3 or 4 and had to long press the power button to reset my phone... so, What is your recommendation ?? which Rom or method can do the the job for me.

Thanx

My max isn't a international version, it is the Sprint version itself. When I try rumrunner it fails. When I tried firewater with the stock Rom it gave me an error saying the kernel isn't supported. So I flashed a AOKP Rom, Pac man to be specific. When I tried firewater on it, the phone went to qhusb mode. I'm downloading dragonsky Rom now as I read in a post that someone was successful on it. Fingers crossed. How did you acquire a off?

For Sprint users:

-unlock boot loader

-flash the Rom I linked(important!)

-install super user(or maybe the rom was all ready rooted,I don't remember)

-run Firewater on ubuntu(i no longer trust Windows for any delicate phone work)

That's it. Nothing complicated. Again,my phone was completely up to date.

The unsupported kernel error tells me you were not on the stock Rom I linked.

Yes,if you wish to remain rooted.

Relocking the boot loader and running an ruu will work also
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
I did relock the bootloader and run ruu all done but finger scanner didn't work! By the way I restored stock backup using TWRP after restoring done I pressed (reboot system) before it reboot TWRP show that it found that system is not rooted and ask if I want to install it (the root) I choose yes then I flashed firmware.zip but the finger scanner didn't work, is that because of the root?

And about s-off I installed vibermax v1.0 GSM Rom and I flash the insecure boot.img from this HTC One MAX - S-OFF Package.zip

The phone booted so I try temproot and its worked then firewater but it keeps opening the 12 bottles with no success and the phone didn't reboot or do anything only screen off

Any idea?

there is no reason s off is not possible for everyone,as hboot 2.49 is not the determining factor.

For Sprint users:

-unlock boot loader

-flash the Rom below(important!) use the version of twrp linked below

gsm users:

option 1:

-unlock bootloader

-find a rom or nandroid of 1.19.401.2 linked below

-install superuser if needed

-run firewater (i strongly recomend ubuntu)

1.19.401.2

-unlock bootloader

-restore nandroid of 2.61.401.3 linked below

-run sunshine

do not worry,the $25 is refundable if sunshine does not work.

method for sprint users and method 2 for gsm have been proven working. method one for gsm should work,just like sprint that version is firewater compatible you just need to find it.

you know have proven and potential options for s off.

do not ask for help

unless you can provide lots of details not limited to but including: the exact issue or error youre experiencing,what rom,nandroid,recovery you used,and a copy/paste of your entire cmd window
