This is an easy-to-follow and complete guide on how to achieve S-OFF on HTC Desire V (T328w, Wind) using the Rumrunner tool (primary for HTC One, adapted for us)
Rumrunner copyright notice: As per the license terms on the official Rumrunner site: http://rumrunner.us/ mirror links of Rumrunner software are not allowed. Using Rumrunner packages hosted on other sites or from other members is risky/outdated and official support is not applicable if you cannot S-OFF or end up bricking your device. You should always download the latest Rumrunner version from the official site: http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/
Step-by-step procedure before attempting to S-OFF (with non-universal builds of Rumrunner):
1. Your HTC Desire V must be unlocked & rooted.
If it's not rooted, the bootloader must first be unlocked. Follow the instructions in the "Unlocking bootloader" section in this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618.
2. Go to Settings > Developer options > check USB debugging. (If you cannot see Developer options, go to Settings > About > Software information > More > tap on Build number 7 times until you get a pop-up message saying: You are now a developer!)
3. Go to Settings > Power > uncheck Fast boot.
4. Uninstall HTC Sync if you have it, as well as all other phone software (Samsung Kies, PDANet, etc.)
5. Disable all your internet security software (antivirus, antispyware such as Windows Defender, etc) and disable firewall (you need unrestricted internet access otherwise Rumrunner will fail).
6. Disable Screen lock security on your HTC Desire V. (Go to Settings > Security > Screen lock > select None) (no passcode lock/no pattern lock/no face lock)
7. A working internet connection on the device.
8. Required a stock ROM but also been successfully tested on Baidu 5.1 & Baidu ROM43
9. Install HTC drivers: here
Hint: If you previously had HTC Sync installed, you should have the drivers already. You can uninstall HTC Sync separately, without removing the drivers.
If you got an error during installing the driver in mode android 1.0, try alternative PDANet drivers
10. You need adb and fastboot: here/mirror
11. Use your HTC USB cable to connect the device to a USB 2.0 port on your PC. (Do not connect through USB hubs or USB 3.0 ports)
12. Connect to FASTBOOT USB mode and test if your phone is accessible via adb fastboot. (Hold the power button down until the phone powers off. Press Volume Down and Power buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode. Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button. Connect the device via the original HTC USB cable to a USB 2.0 port in your PC . Now, click on Start > Run > Type "CMD". This will open the DOS Command Prompt window. Navigate through DOS to your adb folder. Mine is located at C:/ Android so i type in the following order:
Code:
CD C:\Android
fastboot devices
This will display your HTC Desire V 's serial number, indicating that you have successfully established USB connection. Here's my log from the Command Prompt window:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> CD C:\Android
C:\>cd Android
C:\ Android >fastboot devices
HT273P****** fastboot
If you see nothing after entering the fastboot devices command, then there is a problem with the USB connection - you may have a faulty USB cable and/or you need to install the correct HTC USB drivers depending on your OS).
13. Charge your HTC Desire V to 100%. Some users have reported that if the battery level is below 50%, the S-OFF procedure will sometimes fail.
14. Download the rumrunner_proto_0.7.1 version of Rumrunner according to your OS: http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/.
Hint: Yes, it`s for HTC Desire X, but method is the same.
15.Connect your HTC Desire V using the HTC USB cable via a USB 2.0 port and boot up the phone. Leave it on its homescreen. Close any open Command Prompt windows. Unzip the Rumrunner file on your hard drive C:\. Make sure that you have administrator rights on the computer. Double-click on soju.exe to start the S-OFF operation (or right-click on soju.exe to run as Administrator).
15.a) Agree to the terms and conditions you are prompted with in soju (Yes)
15.b) Allow the exploit to do its work (Yes).
Your device will reboot 4-6 times throughout the process.
Do not touch device! Wait until the console appears "Press ENTER to exit". Disconnect your HTC Desire V
15.c) Reboot device in the bootloader & check S-OFF

Attention : USING S-OFF METHOD YOU WILL GET VIBRATIONS ON BOOT !
HTC Desire V (as well as HTC Desire X) has a known bug where it will vibrate multiple times (7) on EVERY boot after using rumrunner. This is NOT reversible. You’ve been warned!!!
New possibilities with S-OFF
New possibilities with S-OFF
Means, you already know how to use adb commands, you have installed necessary drivers and S-OFF / unlock bootloader
1. Get SuperCID 11111111 via adb (this will remove the region lock on your phone)
Code:
CD C:\Android
C:\Android>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Android>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
2. Firmware upgrade to the latest available for optimal performance (Firmware.zip, Hboot, radio)
HTC_Europe_Hboot_1.30.0008_Radio_1.10.34D.17_20.26.30.27U_Stock_Boot&Recovery
HTC_Asia_WWE_Hboot_1.14.0001_Radio_1.10.34D.17_20.26.30.27U_Stock_Boot&Recovery
3. Remove red warning text in your bootloader.
Stock Hboot 1.30.0008 signed
Hboot 1.30.0008 Removed red warning text
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip hboot.zip
fastboot reboot
4. Adb shell commands to change the status of the Bootloader Locked/Unlocked/Relocked (information provided by Softor, confirmed by ckpv5 here & here)
4a. So, for Locked status, connect you (S-OFF) Desire V (turned on normal mode) to BB via 2.0 USB and type in the open DOS Command Prompt window following command:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256
exit
exit
adb reboot bootloader
or
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell su -c "echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256"
4b. To change the Bootloader status to Unlocked (without htcdev.com service)
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x15\x08\x84\x19' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256
exit
exit
adb reboot bootloader
or
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell su -c "echo -ne '\x15\x08\x84\x19' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256"
4c. And for Relocked status:
Code:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x15\x08\x85\x19' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256
exit
exit
adb reboot bootloader
or
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell su -c "echo -ne '\x15\x08\x85\x19' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256"

Don't you see anything abnormal in the log?
Read manual carefully, check USB debugging, USB cable and USB ports on BB & device (don't use USB 3.0 ports or hubs). It's no correct Desire V's adb drivers for windows 8.1, so do it on older versions (better win 7).

If you are sure about сorrectly installed drivers, qualitative of USB connection and all the other additional requirements are met, try rumrunner 0.7.1 with same other firmware version.

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 thi

Yes. I relocked the bootloader for applying OTA as my aim is running latest Taiwan stock ROM only.
Attached the latest boot screen.

Attention : USING S-OFF METHOD YOU WILL GET VIBRATIONS ON BOOT !
HTC Desire V (as well as HTC Desire X) has a known bug where it will vibrate multiple times (7) on EVERY boot after using rumrunner. This is NOT reversible. You’ve been warned!!!

what do you mean by this notice?
the phone may hard brick? wont boot? or its just that it vibrate but behave normally?

LOL WHEN I WENT TO BOOTLOADER TO FLASH RECOVERY I SAW S-OFF AND I DIDN'T TRIED RUMRUNNER STILL, HOW?
LONG STORY SHORT - I GOT S-OFF EVEN AFTER RUMRUNNER FAILED!!!:silly:
EDIT:
I forgot to root the phone & relocked BL now i want root on Stock ROM how can reunlock it & than lock it again?
This is a general users guide to unbrick your Transformer tablet.
This guide will help you if your Asus tablet will only boot into recovery
and the command
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
does not work to get you booted back to bootloader screen ..
If the above command works then skip to the first fastboot command ..
WHAT YOU NEED
An Asus tablet that will only boot into recovery …
Woking adb and fastboot on your PC
Windows drivers (if using Windows)
A fully charged tablet
Asus data cable
Stock firmware blob (from Asus's web site, make sure you get the right one)
_that's bootit.ko (unzipped and placed with fastboot.exe)
Downloads
Asus Stock firmware---MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT SKU FOR YOUR TRANSFORMER TABLET
click me
_that's bootit.ko----click me
INSTRUCTIONS
Extract your stock firmware in your downloads folder twice...You will see a blob file rename it boot.blob and move it to the same folder as your fastboot.exe or if in linux to your home folder
Unzip the bootit.ko and place it wth the above blob file.
Let start with this command to make sure that your PC can see your table as an ADB device in recovery
Code:
adb devices
OUTPUT
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
015c7d7a445c260c recovery
Then lets push the bootit.ko to the root of the device like this
Code:
adb push bootit.ko /
OUTPUT
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb push bootit.ko /
673 KB/s (27690 bytes in 0.040s)
Then lets insmod this .ko file
Code:
adb shell insmod /bootit.ko
This should reboot the tablet into the bootloader menu, lets verifiy.
Once in the bootloader screen lets make sure your PC can see the device in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot devices
OUTPUT
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ fastboot devices
015c7d7a445c260c fastboot
So now its time to erase the misc & cache partitions, as that is most likely the partitions that is making it boot to recovery...
Code:
fastboot erase misc
OUTPUT
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ fastboot erase misc
erasing 'misc'...
OKAY [ 1.021s]

erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 2.096s]
finished. total time: 2.096s
Once these two command run with OKAY as the OUTPUT .
It is time to make sure we can reboot into the bootloader with the hardware buttons
So from where you are at in the bootloader screen use the VOL DOWN & POWER buttons to boot the tab back into the bootloader screen ..
Run these command in fastboot in this order
The next command is to just verify your computer can see your device
Code:
fastboot devices
OUTPUT
Code:

A message from _that
_that said:
Here is the original thread where the bootit module was tested for the first time -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291974
The problem was that the installed recovery was too old and incompatible with the bootloader and so could not access the eMMC at all. The bootloader command to boot to recovery is stored in the MSC partition (mmcblk0p3), and the recovery could not clear it. Since the bootloader checks the MSC partition before checking for volume-down, it is impossible to get to fastboot without some additional kick in the butt (aka "bootit.ko").
The correct bootit.ko file to use is the one in "bootit-bootloader.zip": http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1985941&d=1369339132 - the older version turned out to be too weak. Note that this is a zipped kernel module, not a recovery-installable ZIP. You need to unzip it on your PC before adb push.
After making it to the bootloader menu and working fastboot, you can fastboot flash a current version of TWRP and install the custom ROM of your choice. No real need for the stock blob, unless you want to make sure you have the current bootloader and a known working ROM.
Here is another thread where bootit.ko didn't help, maybe it was really a hardware problem. But lots of good background info from me. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437376

Same problem here, i tried everything and no help.
Anyone?
Here is what I did.
Phone was running with Android 6.0+EMUI4.0 beta version. I unlocked the bootloader by acquiring unlock code from Huawei website.
After unlocking bootloader, when I try to flash TWRP, it says
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45116 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.008s
I tried above procedure several times but no luck. So I rebooted my devices, and then booted it again in bootloader mode and then fired command to flash recovery, but this time new error came:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery kiwi_twrp_5-14_recovery.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (45116 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.008s
In both of the above cases fastboot devices working good and showing my device in the list. Please help me here :crying:

Yes, i'm unable to do that, instead just unlocked my Phone using Windows 10 and Flashed Twrp.img using Ubuntu - Using Linux its that easy but on Windows 10 it force closes ! I could not find solution .
@clsA
Anyways i'm done with Flashing but after first boot there was seemless WiFi speed seen as i have 2MbPs connection but after few hours of restoring my apps using PS it started to load slow - is there any fixes ?

That is great, I'll keep it in mind always when I face issues
I have flashed (fastboot method) twrp.img to my locked device and now I'm stuck at boot. At first I was getting boot loop and "corrupt" message (g.co/ABH). Luckily, I could still access fastboot mode. By looking around, I managed to remedy that a bit by:
Code:
$ wget https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/AI2202/UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-33.0804.2060.100-1.1.1-2302-user.zip
$ unzip *zip
$ payload_dumper payload.bin
$ for i in boot dtbo vendor_boot vbmeta vbmeta_system
do
fastboot flash $i output/$i.img
done
$ fastboot reboot fastboot
# these will fail due to resizing partitions on a locked device
$ for i in system system_ext product odm vendor
do
fastboot flash $i output/$i.img
done
Resizing partition ... (Can't in locked state)
Now I get bootloader, fastbootd, and stock recovery. Wiping/resetting in recovery mode almost succeeds:
Code:
misc_vab_msg.version: 0x2
misc_vab_msg.magic: ...
misc_vag_msg.merge_status: 0x0
misc_vag_msg.source_slot: 0x1
-- Wiping data...
E:Open failed: /metadata/ota: No such file or directory
-- Clean boot sound files...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /metadata...
-- Data wipe complete.
At this point, restarting the system results in the device turning itself off a few seconds after the ASUS logo.
My phone is on stock firmware 33.0804.2060.100 (android 13). Could someone kindly help me and tell me what to do next?

I have a feeling that I'm not using the right image for this purpose. I don't know how to get my hands on a RAW image. I keep reading about some android beta page, but just can't find a link for Zenfone 9.
You dont need any raw fw, flash stock recovery and reboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

@NisseGurra thanks for your input. I checked the md5sum of your recovery image and the one I extracted from the payload.bin. They are indeed the same. I have flashed it alright:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (102400 KB) OKAY [ 3.396s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.162s]
Finished. Total time: 3.570s
Now, what should I do? reboot to bootloader -> recovery? then what?
Because still letting the device boot normally will lead to its shutdown in 20 seconds.

Seems something got messed up.
You have some options: find an recovery that have adb sideload support: flash the stock fw from it,
adb sideload xxx.zip
Option 2
Repack the stock fw (use payload dumper to extract all img), create an folder with all extracted img and add adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll and install.bat (attached, rename to .bat)
Connect phone, enter fastboot and click on the bat file, it should install full rom.
Thanks! I will try it.
I tried your second method. Most of the images got flashed alright, except these ones:
Code:
Sending 'odm' (1248 KB) OKAY [ 0.055s]
Writing 'odm' FAILED (remote: '(odm_a) No such partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Sending 'vendor_dlkm' (73448 KB) OKAY [ 2.577s]
Writing 'vendor_dlkm' FAILED (remote: '(vendor_dlkm_a) No such partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I think those should be flashed after a
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
But in that case, the "flash" command will try to resize the partitions and I get an error that says "Resizing in a locked state of the device is not possible". I am paraphrasing here.
Option 3, install https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/paranoid-android-topaz-alpha-1-asus-zenfone-9.4557631/
Use the suggested image way. It install new recovery, if i rember correct it has adb support
Reboot recovery and use option2
@NisseGurra sorry if my question seems dumb. But I have not unlocked my bootloader (when I had the chance). Do these recovery.img methods with adb work for me?

If you bootloader is locked so you cant flash anything not signed by Asus, no twrp etc, So strange it got messed up
Yeah it's weird that you could flash anything at all, that isn't signed
anyway, it seems like you where able to flash the asus recovery?
can you boot it?
If so try booting it and tipe "adb reboot sideload" if everything goes well it should reboot and allow you to sideload unmodified (asus signed) .zips, do this
Also consider data wipe from recovery

1. I pressed power button + vol-up, ended up in "bootloader" menu.
2. Chose "Recovery mode"
3. At this point, on my laptop, I executed "adb reboot sideload" as you suggested.
However, I am prompted with an error that this device is unauthorized.
Code:
adb devices
List of devices attached
N...P unauthorized
How can I "authorize" this? When I had access to fully-booted system, I just needed to confirm some dialogue. Here there is no question.
Aww that's bad, I don't know how to allow a device from recovery, sorry.
Usually, if it worked under Android itself, it works in recovery as well.
Just to make sure, it worked under Android, right?
I assume u use a Linux system and I somehow had trouble under Linux, with adb and authorization
Yes, "adb" did work between my Linux system and phone before it gets stuck in this mode.
I managed to fix the problem by using a RAW image from romdevelopers. Extracted the content of the zip file and executed "flashall_AFT.cmd" on a Windows machine with the right drivers installed.
For the record, these posts [1][2] are pretty close to what I did.
Thank you both for your support.
EDIT:
I converted the "flashall_AFT.cmd' to "flashall_AFT.sh", so I could be able to achieve the same on a Linux system. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
