Can't Gain S-Off!? - HTC One Max

i have htc one max sprint, it has been htc dev unlocked, i have twrp, and i have been able to flash custom roms. but rumrunner AND firewater both will not work,
Rumrunner says i need to get an updated version, but there isn't any newer versions, and firewater, IF it actually starts, half the time it won't, it gets to bottle 9 and just exits, doesn't say anything, just exits, can i get any help please?

---

and i can't seem to get the download link for skydragon max v 2.0 sprint to download, i keep getting network error on the expressleech link, and the dev host link doesn't work at all!?

and now to add to the frustration, some how the phone got wiped completely, and now my backups of my stock rom, and of the first vipermax i had been running is gone. >.<, but i can still flash an new system/rom of the vipermax. because luckily i found out you can adb push zips in twrp, so YAY! but, i wasn't able to get liquid smoke to work though.

FINALLY!!
i finally gained s-OFF on my SPRINT htc one max,
to do so, i flashed twrp recovery, then flashed vipermax 2.0, i DID NOT flash a superuser or supersu at ALL!, booted up.
i DID NOT do the initial "adb reboot" command, and did NOT do the "adb wait-for-device" command, instead i simply did these lines of code.
adb push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
/data/local/tmp/firewater
and by bottle 3 it worked!!
i don't exactly know why this worked over the actual instructions, but it did! YAY!

What variant means what version t6? Vzw? Sprint? Intl?
If its Sprint, setup a team viewer session and I will do it for you.

If you can setup team viewer I can screen share with you in about an hour and get it done. Did a Sprint one last night that had two problems. 1) latest firmware and 2) it was bootlooping on every Rom.
Something tells me yours won't be as bad.

If you can get it connected to a pc with team viewer running we can get it done.
