is released for HTC one V. Should be compatible with both primoc and primou versions. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE THE VERSION AT/NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE DOWNLOADS PAGE THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE ONE V. THE UNIVERSAL VERSION WILL NOT WORK.

Note, it is highly recommended (mandatory?) to be on a normal sense-based ICS rom and using an unsecure (preferably stock based) kernel. If you get poor results with other configurations, don't bother asking for help please!

Enjoy.

support is at #rumrunners on freenode.

Thank's a lot !

Right now i relocked my bootloader, and i'm running a RUU. I'll attempt the S-OFF asap :p
i'll edit this post and update my progress, and with some luck, a SS of the bootloader telling "S-OFF"
wish me luck^^
Edit:
progress so far:
1. relocked bootloader >flashed RUU>unlocked bootloader>flashed latest TWRP> flashed super SU+ updated> launched super su to make sure the binarys are getting updated too, not just the app>reflash TK kernel>victory :p

2nd. launched soju.exe with administrator rights, waited for it to do all steps but installation failed.

it told me something along the lines of "no modifying the apk or tampering with the su binaries will help you" mor e or less.


i am retrying now and see what i missed

Flash unsecure kernel........

Damn! You beat me to posting!

S-Off on PrimoU, using Linux Mint 64 bit
BTW. The rom on this phone at the moment is myonev 3.5 with tk kernel

Funny how the PrimoU users have jumped on this first. lol

And, thank you for all the hours of beating on this phone

So, with a S-OFF device, we can install a ROM without using our PC to flash a kernel to it. This was a thing I loved so much with my old LG Optimus One (I see that device is still actually being developed actively). To test if this works, I just swapped over from MyOneV 3.5 (a 4.0.4 ROM requiring TK kernel) to Fabian's Mod, which is a continuation of CM 10 (a 4.1.2 ROM, requiring Hellboy CM 10 Kernel).

I have successfully booted into the ROM. No kernel push was required. Sweet!

does it flash a kernel in rom.zip automatically?

yes but often the kernel isn't upto date in the ROM zip because we've never been able to take advantage of S-OFF. As of the moment all my ROMs have S-OFF support except for MiDroid. NexusPrimo also has the wrong kernel included although it still boots with that kernel. All my other ROMs have updated kernels in them.

Does having S-Off Device add any functionality ?


EDIT: Just for Confirmation..so that I don't Face any Problem... Do I need to Go back to stock rom and unroot the device in order to do S-OFF ?? And will Developing Custom ROMS on S-OFF device become easy ??

Is it compatible with W7? Cause as I see, everybody reporting successes are using linux-based systems :/

I used windows 7 and i had no issues with the installation.
good luck^^
@red de0392

OP said that it's recomended to use a SENSE based ROM, as close to stock as possible.

I ran a RUU and actually went 100% stock just because i'm a tryhard. People already reported succesful S-OFF using MySense by ckpv5

    Where can I download it??

    http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/


    Go to the bottom of the page and get "rumrunner_primo_0.5.6.zip" or a more recent version if any is posted before you read this post.


    p.s. don't use stock KERNEL, use titanium kiss for this to work. i lost 20 minutes of my life to learn this. now you don't have to :)


    edit: sorry @red de0392 i typed rom though i wanted to say kernel :( so stock rom is OK, it's actually what i used, stock KERNEL on the other hand will not allow the SOFF to work
