do you mean the ENG H-BOOT?

No,ENG S-OFF is 008.You can flash the original hboot 0011 from an official rom via fastboot

I take it you keep the S-OFF doing that? I'm using the ENG S-OFF but is there really any advantage to it bar a few extra HBOOT commands?
EDIT: The HBOOT from the 1.35.401.1 RUU isn't an IMG file - can it still be flashed?

yes you can rename it as hboot.img and flash it via fastboot..I prefer you guys to use revolutionary,which enabled fastboot and version higher than eng(eng is the same as 1.17.0008)

its S-OFF ?
S-OFF isn't affected by flashing an HBOOT (I don't think). I'll try it now and let you know

Only reason I used the ENG S-OFF was to get rid of the 'Revolutionary' banner at the top - like it to look OEM
now i have ship HBoot: 1.17.0011 s-off
i will try now the performance on the phone
Yeah, flashed it on mine and still S-OFF
Please share the file. Thank you.

1. Extract ZIP file
2. Flash via fastboot using command:
fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
3. The run:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. Then run:
fastboot erase cache
5. Turn phone off and then back on again

Why do you need it ? Did you have S-OFFed your Sensation?
Do you know how flash a PG85IMG.ZIP into the NAND in your Sensation?
I have a image file which included hboot ver 1.17.0011 PVT SHIP S-OFF attached below.
Are you sure you need it?
It maybe brick your phone, the risks and responsibilities all are yours when you flash your phone! This HBOOT only tested on my HTC Sensation!
There has only been one eng hboot leaked and it's .0008
Flash a stock hboot onto a phone that is radio S-OFF and it will say SHIP S-OFF. Ship is stock and S-OFF, when ENG is not written, means radio S-OFF.
On previous HTC phones you could have ENG S-OFF without radio S-OFF, and the hboot would fool the radio into thinking that the phone was S-OFF even though it wasn't radio S-OFF. It's unlikely that would work with the Sensation unless the eng hboot was signed, and the one that has leaked isn't.
Revolutionary is a special kind of hboot. It still says SHIP in the bootloader but it's custom and has some extra fastboot commands (like 'fastboot flash'), so in many ways it acts like an eng hboot. So if you run Revolutionary, you get radio S-OFF and a custom hboot. Your phone will still be S-OFF after running a RUU but you'll overwrite the Revolutionary custom hboot with a stock one.

[Q] Is it possible to get S-OFF on HBoot 1.23?

Hello Geeks.
I have recently misled myself by getting my phone back from s-off to s-on before installing the stock RUU on my Sensation XE.
However, i have managed to unbrick the phone and i have a custom ROM running on it while there is S-ON right now.
I was running ICS which means i upgraded the HBOOT from 1.18 to 1.23 and revolutionary does not support this HBOOT version yet.
I want to know if there is a possible way of downgrading the HBOOT version to 1.18 or 1.17 with the S-ON because i cant get S-OFF until its downgraded to something revolutionary supports.
OR
Is there a compatible RUU update utility that will flash my device back to stock and restore everything?
Thanks.
Not until:
1. Revolutionary becomes compatible, or;
2. The ICS RUU is officially leaked, therefore becoming a 'proper' HBOOT in a warranty sense

Before upgrading was your phone having 1.52.720.3 as the firmware version??
From now on, yes it IS possible

I'm still writing the guide... trying to make it noob friendly. it includes suicide bricking and downgrading...
detailed guide soon to be here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23078349 stay tuned
Ah, so you have to brick the phone first to downgrade it? Seems a bit severe but at least it's a method.
Surely if someone was silly enough to S-ON with a new HBOOT they will more than likely properly brick their phone??

Hboot downgrade

You can't downgrade your hboot with s-on. That really is common knowledge and if you weren't aware of that, I would suggest you do a lot more reading before attempting s-off anyway. I'm sorry to be a **** but you aren't ready.
I'm suggest you to wait until revo come out with the support for your HBOOT version
Hi. Try this method. Read first and if you have any further questions aks there.

This method is NOT for 1.27 hboot.
Isn't running a GB RUU enough to have everything back to a "S-OFFable" setting?
I used an "old" RUU to go back to a revolutionary compatible hboot on a friend of mine's Incredible S (hboot 2.0 to 1.13) and it worked... Is there something I don't know as the reason for this not to work on the Sensation (surely there is... )?
try to do tacoroot to access revolutionary maby it help

I'm not a pro, but I think you'll need to unlock by HTC DEV and install root access, change the software version with misc_version, relock your phone and flash old RUU with hboot 0.98.0000.
This should enable you to unlock your phone by revolutionary like described in the dev section and get S-OFF...
I'm lucky that i didn't flash my phone with the latest RUU, so i didn't need to unlock by HTC DEV.
Until now, no posibility is known to unlock without HTC DEV...

[Q] I have S-OFF but locked HBoot 1.27, how do I unlock it without going through htc

I have a sensation with S-off via Revolutionary IO, but I took the ICS update and the HBoot was upgraded to 1.27 and was locked. I want to try the Bruce2728 CM10 Kang. What would be the next step for me? Should I just use the Sensation_4G_All-In-One_Kit to flash 4EXT recovery and install the rom? Do I have to unlock the 1.27 Hboot first? What about hacking the CID to make it a superCID? Thanks for your help.
