Thanks scotty1223

I have t6ul unlocked and rooted

I found this stock rom zip flashable by recovery

https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...NdBos6w6JMXlNNVJZZFhwNHM/preview?pref=2&pli=1

I try it on windows 8.1 pro using firewater but didn't work

Question is do I have to use nandroid backup of 1.19.401.2 or the rom file above could work the rom version is 1.19.401.2 too

I did try it using rom above but it didn't work do you think it is because of windows I used

Thanks
[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
I'd say the rom file is fine. Windows could very well be an issue.. try it on ubuntu. You can make a bootable CD and not have to permanently install it.
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
Thanks scotty1223

I will try and feedback..

Thanks
[HTC One Max] vahidmomin:
:p
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
didn`t work my friend scotty1223

i used ubuntu

firewater keep chugging with no success it do the same in windows

only the screen turn off
[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
Are you definitely rooted? Does su grant root permissions without a prompt?

Reading the op,you may need an insecure boot image. He also claims you need to run firewaters temp root,wich doesn't make sense to me,but it may be worth a shot.

Other than that,you might need to spring for sunshine :)
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
I definitely rooted

su grant root permission without prompt if I run temproot first , if I didn't supersu popup and ask for permission for shell

I did all the steps

flasing the rom

factory reset

flash supersu.zip

flash insecur boot.img (the one he provided in his s-off package)

run temproot

reboot

run firewater...

no success

by the way , while firewater chugging first bottle a new line in CMD showed up for the first time it didn't showed up before (nasty, need (a word I cant remember start with s)

thinks you coz you care scotty1223

[MENTION=3589470]AOWS[/MENTION]

i successfuly managed to s-off device for my friend which was stuck for a month as it was always chugging the 12 bottles without any succeess

so now i want you to tell me the latest firmware u have updated to be able to help u
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
Latest firmware is 3.23.401.1 4.4.2 sense 6
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
Yes this is as I thought

I think that the latest firmware is the cause of all of this although it has the same hboot bucause my friend's device was on the same firmware which made me crazy trying to s-off for him without success

Now follow these steps carefully :

1. we need to downgrade the rom to 2.61.401.3 ... I think u can use any stock backup and restore it and make sure it will boot because u need to flash the boot.img manually

Or flash latest viper Rom which I prefer and used it

Also don't forget to flash the super su zip to make sure it's rooted ( I know that viper is rooted but please follow instructions and flash super su zip from recovery ) and test if your device have super su installed and working or not

2. We need to downgrade the firmware also to 2.61.401.3 because it's the culprit which stops firewater from working :

Yes you will downgrade the firmware with s-on device

To do this follow these steps

A. you will need to download this firmware https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1kAXZSHj6XyUng1T21seDZlbE0/edit?usp=docslist_api

B. copy it to your adb folder

C. You need to lock your device to be able to flash this and make sure you have your unlock code.bin which you got previously to be able to unlock again faster if Firewater failed to achieve s-off with locked boot loader

So now u should open cmd and write this to lock your device :

fastboot oem lock

C.Now we Will flash the firmware posted above :

Make sure that you have the firmware in the adb folder and follow these commands and please copy and paste them :

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then

fastboot flash zip firmware_2.61.401.3_stock.zip

Then use the same command above again to make sure it's flashed properly

Then :

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you will be in bootloader and you will see that mainversion is now : 2.61.401.3 [emoji2]

D. Now you have also stock recovery flashed so open your device and do hard reset from backup and restore in settings

E. Open your device and activate debugging then follow the firewater steps

F. Firewater may be won't s-off from the first time and go through all of biottles so in the first run only, try to open the screen in the 7th bottle then your phone will freeze so do a hardreboot by power and volume up then follow firewater steps again without interruption

F. If this succeded tell me .. if not reunlock your device with your unlock code and do the firewtater step again
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
You gays in xda are awesome, thank you mido.fayad and I would like to thank scotty1223 coz he try to help me?

Thanks gays fingerprint is now working ?

شكرا اخ ميدو

I follow mido steps and I used viber latest rom

Locked bootloader

Firewater take 4 bottles to s-off
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
I'm happy that it worked for you [emoji2]

It was really making me crazy because I have 4 device and s-offed all of them in 1 minute except the device of my friend

So it's really obvious now that the newset firmware stops firewater from working even with old Rom and any one should first downgrade

So hope the op add my comment to the first post because it will help those stuck with the newset firmware

Also [MENTION=3589470]AOWS[/MENTION]

U can use the zip in the link below to remove tampered and lock and unlock your device without need to pc or any thing

Just flash it in twrp recovery and choose to lock or unlock or remove tampered

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1kAXZSHj6XySUxDR2hNTHYzUHc/edit?usp=docslist_api
[HTC One Max] AOWS:
I think you shuld make new thread with the instructions you write to me

And I want your permission to use your instructions in arabic website called (ce4arab)

I locked the bootloader and removed tamperd flag manually using adb commands I didn't know about that zip file

I will include it in my thread if you allow me to

Thanks again
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
Will Make new thread next week and for sure you can use these instructions as u need [emoji2]

Which 4.4.2 firmware ? The latest one or what

And your device is Sprint ??
[HTC One Max] vahidmomin:
First it was on 4.4.2 nd now it is on 4.3 skydragpn.yes it is sprint.
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
Which 4.4.2 ??

Sense 6 or sense 5.5
[HTC One Max] vahidmomin:
Sorry bro,that i didnt remember now.
[HTC One Max] mido.fayad:
I think you were on sense 6 firmware and now you need to downgrade first to sense 5.5 firmware 2.09.651.1

But you need encrypted firmware to be able to flash on s-on device

So wait till I find it for you because I don't have Sprint one max
[HTC One Max] vahidmomin:
Ok thanks ,very appreciated.

It would be fine ,let me know when u find encrypted file for me.

[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
for sprint you dont need to flash any firmware or insecure boot image,just install an older rooted rom. directions are in post 96

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

your device has a different cid. you will need to find a signed firmware file for your cid that still contains hboot 2.49 if you cannot get firewater or sunshine to work by installing a 1.19.401.2 or 2.61.401.3 rom
[HTC One Max] moghaddamhreza:
I'm newbie to Android development & I don't know where to find it!! Help plz, can you find it to me?

I used CID getter app and that is % T-MOB101 - TMD%

let me know if you found it <3
[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
Did you even try rum runner or sunshine after simply installing an older Rom? See the link for post 96 above. Flash the older stock Rom and try them.
[HTC One Max] moghaddamhreza:
Yes, tried rumrunner on 1.54.401.3 sense 5.5

But it couldn't s-off my device too!

I didn't hear about sunshine, can I have the thread link?

[HTC One Max] markawashington:
Are you Sprint if so then get ViperMax Rom 5.5 sense rom flashed on device using TWRP ... then run firewater s-off
[HTC One Max] joel_sinbad:
I was on stock 4.4.2 with 2.49 HBOOT, to be S-OFF, I just:

1.- Unlocked Bootloader

2.- Flashed a custom recovery (used CWM recovery)

3.- Flashed latest CM11 nightly

4.- Then followed the S-OFF procedure

5.- Profit!
[HTC One Max] srkhan:
what about HTC M7 802d Hboot 2.49 ??? i am getting "ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch!"

did try bulletproof kernel. but no Luck. any update or tips?
[HTC One Max] Matvei:
Need help.

I've done everything till flashing recovery and boot.img from the given package. The CWM 6.0.4.8 works, from this recovery I get adb connection. But the device does not want to boot. It hangs... I did a wipe, it does not help. Upon start a bootloader I see "tampered" "unlocked" and s-on (unfortunately)

The device is HW2.49, T6UL, Telekom branded, it was updated till KitKat 4.4.2 Sense 5.5. What should I do now? Should I install boot.emmc.win (16 777 216 bytes) from official 2.61.401.3 or how may I fix the problem? It looks like the given boot.img does not work for me.
[HTC One Max] joel_sinbad:
Do you know that you must extract manually the boot.img from the rom zip you have installed on your phone and flash it via fastboot right?
[HTC One Max] Matvei:
Sure, I have flashed from ADB first CWM recovery and afterwards - boot.img. The las step was an error. Pleas do NOT flash boot.img if you have android 4.4, it will not work.

I solved the problem with following steps (my bootloader was unlocked and I have installed CWM from this thread):

1. Install from CWM the Viper ROM: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_o...rmax_gsm_android_4_4_v2_0_0_ota_mai_01_a.html and start the system

2. Install the given SU 1.99 from CWM (not sure if that was necessary)

3. Install weaksauce apk: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699089

that gives you necessary root

4. use firewater to get s-off

Without weaksauce I could not get s-off using firewater, although viper rom was rooted.

I still have "tampered" mark upon startup, but it does not really matter...
[HTC One Max] sidgallup:
hi, im having troubles getting a sprint max unlocked, i did it on my M7 about 5 months ago but i just can't remember what i did back then, here's my current situation...

Im on hboot 249, android 4.4.2, bootloader unlocked from htc dev, and that's it...

all i want is to get it sim unlocked so i can use it on GSM network, can i flash custom ROMs without the need to get s-off?
[HTC One Max] joel_sinbad:
Just, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP or CWM, then flash CM11 for example and the you can make S-OFF.

Hi Guys,

I have an htc one max with hboot 2.49 and also unlocked the bootloader to be able to s-off the device but it seems that waterfire project is already dead and I lost my fingerprint sensor with unlocking the bootloader, even with relocking it nothing has changed, so please correct me if I'm wrong but the only way for me to bring back the fingerprint sensor and s-off my device is to buy sunshine.apk , am I right ?

Thank you for your attention.

WHYYYYYY

[HTC One Max] tommyjoesanders:
That is correct. Sunshine is your only hope.
[HTC One Max] elmy2424:
so sunshine,, is the only way to s-off sprint one max with 2.49 hboot??:crying:
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Sunshine IS the only software S-Off solution out there anymore. Firewater was shutdown.
[HTC One Max] itsmelutfor:
which custom rom??

Can someone tell which custom Rom can be s-offed with firewater?? I tried nusense and Pac Rom but no success. I badly need to s-off. My fingerprint scanner not working after unlock.
[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
Did you read the last post? You can no longer download firewater.

If you're trying to use a copy that you all ready had,that likely will not work either. When I used it on my max,the copy i had on my computer didn't work(I tried several times),and I had to re-download in order to have success.

Aside from that,search back from here a few pages ago it was clearly spelled out what stock ROM worked with sprint/firewater and what nandroid worked for gsm with sunshine. If you have sprint,I'd venture a guess the same stock ROM will work with sunshine
[HTC One Max] itsmelutfor:
Thanks for reply. I have international version of one max. My model Id 0P3P51000. I can not use sunshine cause I do not have credit card to pay. Is there any other way other than Sunshine?? Any custom Rom/romrunner or anything??
[HTC One Max] dottat:
No. Sorry. If s-off is what you want sunshine is what you need.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Its been spelled out several times buddy. Only sunshine.
[HTC One Max] scotty1223:
My suggestion would be to buy a prepaid card to use.

Otherwise,just be content with htcdev unlock,as you can still flash custom roms and kernels with that.
[HTC One Max] itsmelutfor:
ok thanks

Ya I will try and get a prepaid card if I can. Yup I can flash custom kernel and Rom but the problem is that I can not use my fingerprint. I have installed 1.19.401.2 Rom like you mentioned, flashed boot and recovery from firewater s-off package, rooted with temproot, but still I am out of luck, the dotted lines continues to grow after warnings.
[HTC One Max] dottat:
Told you so.

Waste of time running that and posting that.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Dude... Are you not understanding it's down. Get a pre-paid card there is no "trying" I'm going to guess you just don't want to support the dev. Dude...
[HTC One Max] itsmelutfor:
It's not that I do not want to support the dev, my country dun hv PayPal service n I have checked we dun get prepaid credit card either. I'm from Bangladesh. So I was trying if anything anyway

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

I installed sunshine today. Its saying need flash stock Rom or nearer to stock. I have flashed 1.19.401.2 EU version. My model I'd 0P3P51000 and cid HTC 032.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Oh dang sorry man. Just see so many people do the same. Apologies around lol.
[HTC One Max] ARTURITCH:
If anyony does have pronlems, i have got an interesting solution. I got my SOFF on hboot 2.49 through firewater, but in order to gain it, i installed awidawad's PAC-ROM, and it worked damn fine! The only thing you have to do is to switch the "grant su to apps and ADB" to ON. And yup, thats all!
[HTC One Max] tommyjoesanders:
Firewater doesn't work since the server on there website is shut off. Don't believe me put your device back to s-on and try to s-off device again
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Dude the server is down. Obviously you did so beforehand...
[HTC One Max] ARTURITCH:
I have saved on my PC, if anyone needs it, i can simply upload it to somewhere
[HTC One Max] tommyjoesanders:
It will not work. firewater server has been turned off. this thread really need to be closed out.
[HTC One Max] coal686:
I'm inclined to agree. Because Firewater has been shut down server-side, this guide will no longer work. Thus, this thread is not really needed as it is outdated. So, to discourage people from trying it (assuming they read through the thread) and to avert future arguments, I'm closing the thread.

To [MENTION=304818]MrT69[/MENTION], you should consider editing the first post to reflect that Firewater doesn't work at this time. Also, please PM me if you feel it should stay open.

The new method that works is called Sunshine (from the same developers). While one may disagree as to whether they should charge money, they do have expenses - test phones (many bricked figuring things out), hosting, etc - that need to be met. Also, they should be rewarded for their expertise as evidenced by the fact that no one has figured out s-off and undercut their price point. If you don't like being charged, then figure it out yourself and give it away for free.

In the meantime, we NEVER allow members to disrespect developers, especially using foul language to do so. If you feel it is acceptable to do so, please reread the rules more carefully.

Feel free to PM me with any questions, concerns, or accolades,

[Moto X Q&A] codymcc3829:
i have a us cellular moto x. and am switching to straight talk. but cannot find the apn settings it says its in mobile networks but my phone does not have it is there any way to change it?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
A US Cellular phone is a CDMA phone. Unless you have somehow unlocked it for domestic GSM carriers (highly unlikely), then you will need to use it on Straight Talk CDMA, not GSM.

You'll want to follow the guide http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-flash-sprint-moto-x-to-page-plus-t2732342

The steps are EXACTLY the same to flash to straight talk OR Page Plus (assuming you can get Straight Talk to add the MEID of your device to the system).

Good Luck

And as always - no guarantees that this will work. Flash at your own risk.

- rooted phones only !

Video here :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na16oUbF674&feature=youtu.be

I found the files that temporary turn off the notification/charging led on our Xperia Z.

This light is quite strong and can be bothering when sleeping.

So now I have a Tasker icon on my home page that automatically when I want to sleep:

- Load the alarm screen

- Put the screen brightness to very dim

- Change the screen standby time to 10 seconds

- Put in silence mode

- Put in airplane mode (via secure settings)

- An finally turn off the charging led colors

For the led part, add a task in Tasker then click the + button and choose Script -> Launch a Shell

Check "Use root" and add in the command entry :

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lm3533-blue/max_brightness

Follow the same procedure to add these two commands :

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lm3533-red/max_brightness

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lm3533-green/max_brightness

To turn them back on change the 0 with 255 in another task

And another to put things back on when I wake up.

In order to have a task icon to your homescreen just add a shortcut then choose Takser shorcut.

You can change the icon into taker too.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] technaudio:
Or just put the phone face down?

I cannot actually believe that that tiny led disturbs your sleep... What happens if a car drives by... Or there's a full moon on a clear night? What about the stars...?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Sichroteph:
1. Try typing "turn off charging light" in Google and see how much people are bothered with that question.

2. Face down? How convenient to use it as a night clock. Without mentioning the dock.

3. I don't know about full moon or clear night, I live under a roof.

4. Yes, I find the green light is particularly strong and I passed the age of having a night light.

5. More importantly you sir are really not in the good forum to question the utility of having a better control of your phone. Quite surprising that came from you because you made a similar thread back in 2012 (make the notification light dimmer)

I too received mine last week.

overall this is a really good phone , nicely built , beautifull full hd screen , very fast.

only negative point , but i don't know if this come from my unit or if its general issue from this phone,

the WIFI and Bluetooth signal are weaker than my other phone ( Samsung Omnia 7 / Sony XPERIA U )

if i stand in my rooter room i got no problem , but if i go in my kitchen , i lose signal while the 2 other phone have very low but some signal still.

And about bluetooth , when i connect my audio headset , and put the phone in my pocket it sometimes disconnect when i turn my head in the opposite direction of my holster .

that never happended with my Omnia7.

Actually i can live w/o bluetooth but the WIFI signal at my job is low in my office as being far from rooter and i get trouble connecting :(

Can you guys test your WIFI and bluetooth signal ? against other smartphone ?
[Android General] IAmNotMe:
everything is just works fine , only we need custom roms
[Android General] Ulster94:
AFAIK every Mediatek phone with Android 4.2.2 suffers from that issue. Might be better with the upcoming 4.4 ... hopefully.
[Android General] platypus2308:
this phone runs android 4.3.9 but it might be the same . i hope it software or firmware related .

i contacted the shop but i doubt they will do anything as it does works but the signal is just a bit weak IMHO.

and i guess the chip is the same for bluetooth and wifi ... so same problem.

edit: made a picture but can't link it here due to being newbie :p
