Cant find an unsecure kernel for HTC One MAX (International ROM)

Dear XDA members,

I recently decided to root my HTC One MAX and finally did it, went through all the steps mentioned in this guide (until the NAND backup step) as I didn't want to flash the unsecure kernel for the SPRINT version.

Device Info: (btw, I had Korean apps installed on my phone so it might be a Korean variant)

I attached the Boot partition backup below.

After trying to acquire S-OFF unsuccessfully.
Tried rumrunner but failed here is the log:

Dear User: We will expect that YOU:
(1) Know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT binaries
---- [Yes, use these tools to test USB connection BEFORE running rumrunner] ----
(2) Realize that rumrunner S-OFF cannot support every CUSTOM rom in this world

(4) Are able to identify and download the CORRECT package for YOUR device
(5) Know how to enable USB-debugging on YOUR device (Yes, do that now)
(6) Understand that you may NOT repack or redistribute rumrunner S-OFF

Ok?
(Yes/No)
Yes

Please wait....

it's a little stinky here, hmm....

bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhhh....

hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye
Press ENTER to exit

Then I tried to use Firewater ( firewater guide ) with and without Temproot and still no luck.

After that I found ElementalX and I downloaded the version for HTC M7 (ElementalX-m7-22.3-Sense) (I checked on gsmarena.com that they have the same CPU and GPU and thought that it might work) but my phone went into a bootloop. Thankfully right before the flash i made a new NAND backup.

But before restoring I decided to test out the sprint version of the unsecure kernel (Sprint_One_Max_1.16.651.4_Unsecure_kernel), but my phone was still in boot loop.
Then I found another kernel (T6_Insecure_Kernel) from link (Guide) I extracted the boot.img from the International folder, rebooted to fastboot and via adb did the fastboot flash boot boot.img command. then my phone once again went into a boot loop. so I had to restore my Boot partition from my NAND backup to fix it.

So now I am asking of anyone can direct me in the right direction or provide a proper unsecure kernel for my HTC One MAX so i will be able to S-OFF and return fingerprint functionality.

Thanks in advance!
