Hi I currently have a unupdated T-mobile Sensation, I have never taken any OTA updates.
If I take the 1.43 and 1.50 updates can I still use Revolutionary IO to get S-Off? I understand the 1.50 updates includes a new H-Boot which Revolutionary IO can't unlock - but is it possible to go from the 1.50 update back to an older RUU (and the original H-Boot of 1.17)?
Thank you for answering my question.
I would recommend you s off before you do any ota updates. For sure Revolutionary supports h boot 1.17, which is what you should have. I am not sure if Revolutionary supports 1.18 h boot.
Read the guides stickied at the top of the development forum so you don't screw up your phone.
In regard to you question no it would not be possible.

Thanks I think I will just keep it as is right now until CM9 or a complete AOSP rom is released.
Yes it supports HBOOT 1.18.0000 and it has done since it was released

EddyOS is right. It does support 1.18.0000. I managed to s-off my branded O2 sensation when I got it back from repair. It was also on 1.50.xxx, I restored it to the STOCK 1.50.401.1 (unbranded) Went back to S-ON and have just recently S-off'd again.
So.... Yes you can =)
so the t-mobile usa 1.50.531.1 update did not update the hboot past 1.18? i thought it was hboot 1.27?

S off before updating to h boot 1.27, revolutionary doesn't support it.

Their site is currently down, but that is the url, so check back later.

There is only one zip for ALL supported phones and hboot versions! I posted the direct link above since you seem to be just a little confused. Here it is again:
http://revolutionary.io/revolutionary-0.4pre3.zip
Yes I understand but I look for someone who has installed the latest update from HTC and then used Revolutionary, so he can make a copy of HBoot 1.18.0000
Here
Download also contains radio and other firmware updates, just extract the hboot and do with it what you will. BTW once you run revolutionary that hboot gets replaced by the hacked revolutionary hboot so getting it from a device that ran revo is pointless!
Thanks but i search the hacked revolutionary hboot not official.
Just run revolutionary then, cause you aren't making sense to me. It seems like you are making this too complicated. I guess I can't help you.

He wants someone who ran the revolutionary exploit on the latest hboot to make a copy for him to flash.
But iirc, the latest revolutionary downgrades you back to 1.17 so trying to get a 1.18 is futile.

whats difference between 1.17 and 1.18?
Actually I've got S-Off and Hboot 1.18 and if someone tells me how to extract it I would do it but I don't know how to do
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
You must have flashed the update after you got s-off which is fine but then you'll be missing out because fastboot cmds are not enabled in the stock hboot.
So there's no option to have hacked HBOOT 1.18.0000/1.18.1111 with revoultionary? Only option is downgrade to 1.17.1111?
You can S-Off it on 2.3.3 and update it OTA. I think it's the only way right now

Is this safe? Any info about differences in 1.18 / 1.17?
Btw my phone is sent to HTC because I did some mistake and bricked it.
When it will be back with OTA 2.3.4 then downgrade to 2.3.3 -> S-OFF -> upgrade 2.3.4? It will be safe?
Hello, due to a loooong story, I have hboot 1.23 and well as some of you may know its terrible, I now cannot flash any files at all via hboot and my firmware is 3.12 but the problem is I love ics and so, can anybody please find me any roms that have ics and run on firmware 3.12 not 3.24 or anything else. It will probably be android version 4.01 or could be 4.03 but it would have stated firmware 3.2. I don't mind even if the roms are outdated versions of the newest version of roms, such as arhd 6.0.0 instead of what is being used now.
Thanks.
Do you have s off? If you do just flash the firmware that has the 1.27 unlocked h boot 1.27 and flash the ICS Rom you want.

no i dont have s-off.I tried to get to stock and wrote s-on incorrectly (apparently).
Now i can't really do anything until revolutionary updates, i have to stay with the ooooold roms.
COREDROID 4.0 works on 1.23, the problem is you can't flash radios which isn't in this ICS ROM. So you're s on. I am assuming you used HTC unlock. I assume you have root and custom recovery. What did you do exactly.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium
I used to run Virtuous Inquisition on HBOOT 1.23, in fact I've only recently changed to 1.27.
How did you change to 1.27? I thought hboot 1.23 did not have firmware flashing or any advanced fastboot commands...

Well yes. I had to use HTCdev because I wrote s on wrong and my bootloafer was locked so I ran htcdev, flashed recovery and now I'm s-on without being able to change ny hboot or anything at all now.

If you have s off you can flash any firmware with 1.23. Why do you refuse to understand that 1.23 s on is your problem, yes you are in fact stuck there. No matter how many threads you ask the same thing in, sorry but it's the truth.

Please would someone be able to advise as per the following:
Im currently running stock GB on o2 unlocked and used revolutionary tool to S-off only and h -boot 1.117.
Eveything else is stock...
Will i be able to OTA the new ICS when HTC release or do i have to do anything to the phone to get it.
regards
rich
You should be able to but from this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487521
They say don't mess around with it.
You should do. I was able to receive an OTA update when I was s-off but that was after reinstalling an RUU which must have been an old version and the OTA updated to the latest version. That was a month or so ago though

If you are still on the stock gingerbread that came with your device then yes you will receive the ota update, unlocking and s-off don't make a difference.

question :
so if I have a devices with S-off will I get OTA ICS update ?

As far as I read, yes you will.
But if you are S-off you don't need to wait, just follow the guide a flash the OTA.

You won't get the current OTA as it's for the EU unbranded handsets - you're waiting on your carrier

can I root my phone since I have s-off and install OTA ICS then?
Don't need to root it, just need to flash an EU branded RUU (either 1.50.401.1 for original Sensation, 1.73.401.4 for the XE)
Best get the right RUU for your phone as it now thought for warranty purposes

Will i get OTA for ICS ?
It was Vodafone branded, Until last night.
No as you're not on the current unbranded version (which is 1.50.401.1). You'll need that OTA first, or flash the RUU
Ok thank you.
Will i not get the ics at all without changing RUU.
should i be getting ota for 1.50.401.1 in the uk ?
If it's still being pushed out then yes you should. Depends if you've changed your CID to be unbranded or whether you still have it as the Vodafone one
I was on 1.50.401.1 before when branded.
i didnt change the CID it says VODAP001.
do i need to change this ?
You would've been on 1.50.161.1 before the RUU (the current Vodafone branded build)
To be truely unbranded you will need to change the CID to HTC__001 (not the double underscore)
think you are correct about the 1.50.161.1
i will try and change the CID tonight.
do you think i would get the update to 1.50.401.1 after this ?
or should i install something like
ruu_pyramid_htc_europe_1.50.401.1_r_radio_10.58.9035.00u_10.15.9035ΒΆ

I bought my Sensation from a friend that allready had upgraded to ISC OTA..
so im S-ON with HBOOT 1.27 and almost dyeing to S-OFF and Root...
does anybody know, if any are working on making it posible ??
don't think so....you have to go back to GB and then make all the things
Soory to hijack the thread, I have the same problem.
And as I understand, when we have the 1.27 boot loader, we are pretty much stuck, until someone crackes this. So its not possible to downgrade.
