In all cases, it's a violation.
Once the player picked up the ball, even briefly with one hand, the dribble ended. The ball hit the official...the same as hitting the floor. If the player touches it again, its an illegal dribble.
The only time a player is permitted to recover a ball that has been dribbled (and otherwise untouched) is when they fumble the ball. A pass is not a fumble.
