Do you have the drivers properly installed? It's either the drivers or the phone.

PLEASE VERIFY that you are on a stock HBOOT (1.57.0000), then issue the following command:
[high]fastboot oem writesecureflag 3[/high]

Yes...but you wrote the guide
How long were you S-On? 15 minutes or less?
No you use fastboot. It's a fastboot command through command prompt. I don't know why you want it back on?!
But yes make sure you are on the stock bootloader or you will be holding a new paperweight

Wow...
I'll never concern myself with my son performing S-OFF on his phone, I'm sure of that.
Good luck dude, keep your head up.
Man.... I can't think of anything else right now
I've had a severe lack of sleep the past 2 nights so my thinking is a bit fuzzy tonight. Everything appears to be in order. The only other thing I can think is if you have windows 8.

About an hour because I was deciphering some ridiculous file structure on my computer. But once I got that sorted out it was probably five minutes.
Holy smokes Dragon NaturallySpeaking on my keyboard is awesome.
I don't think I'll ever be typing a message on here again...

Hmmmmm... that's very odd. Are you booted into your ROM? And sure android debugging is enabled in the settings?

Well, you seem like a smart kid to me. I don't think you would mess anything up, but if you did we can support you here. If you change your mind and want to go back to S-OFF we're always here to help.

When I issue the "get code" command its still in fastboot. If it makes any difference I just bought the phone, haven't updated or activated at all. I've triple checked that I had the de-bugging checked so I think im good there XD. It's in charge only mode also.
So has it been is fastboot usb mode? If you leave it plugged in and type
adb reboot bootloader
Do you see fastboot usb in red letters? If not fastboot will return the waiting for device message
Plus you were already s-off. So really it's riskier to go back s-on than leaving it alone. You could still unroot and be completely stock but just leave s-off. Then in the future rooting again would be super easy and you wouldn't have to do the wire trick again :/
