What's an up-to-date method of getting S-OFF on a HTC One S?

Question

All the instructions I can find for getting S-OFF on a HTC One S seem to be out-of-date.

• These instructions ask you to download soffbin3.zip but the link takes you to website which thinks it's streaming you a video and the mirror link is dead
• Rumrunner is available but soju.exe frezzes on "please wait"
• firewater redirects to Sunshine which is a paid service. The Wayback Machine has a copy of the executable but when I copy the executable to my device and run it, it just... deletes itself.

I'm out of ideas. How do I get S-OFF on my HTC One S in this day and age?

(The only reason I want S-OFF is to install HBOOT 2.16.)

Answer 1

I had: hbot 2.15, s-on, twrp 3.x cm12.

I tried:

• moonshine = told me to read
• rumrunner = told me to stop it on the 1st swig
• sunshine = I am a cheapskate, so no
• fre-something-can't-remember_with_soff.bin = couldn't get the bin and it needed super-cid and was just a bit too much of "could go wrong"

What worked for me:

1. Flashed MagioRom_ONE_S_RC6.zip
2. Flashed the boot.img from that zip
3. booted the rom and disabled screen lock and fastboot
4. enabled dev/adb debug
5. let rumrunner do its work

Could be that rumrunner stalled for you because your phone asked for permission for the adb-connection. I had to flash the MagioRom because rumrunner seems to prefer a sense rom and cm12 was a bit to far along.
