How to upgrade to ics with hboot 1.23 s-on? - HTC Sensation

Two month ago, i did some stupid things and then hboot turned into s-on. Because hboot version is 1.23 which is not supported by revolutionary, i can't upgrade, degrade or s-off the bootloader.So i can't flash any ics rom. I tried to flash ruu. No matter what version of ruu is, it always shows error 155 or else(i tried to relock the bootloader, other error uccured). Now official ics has been released, will latest ics ruu help? my device is asia sea wwe.

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.20

Is there an S-OFF available for HBOOT 1.20? Saw "locked" after flashing 1.20 and S-ONed phone. Finally unlocked using htcdev but nothing I found could help me downgrade HBOOT and do S-OFF again. Do not have SuperCID atm.
there is a thread on this your still rooted even though it says s on
Yeah, I am still rooted and can get into recovery and flash ROMs. But I am having issues with signal and I cannot flash anything because 1.20 does not support fastboot commands. I would like to downgrade but cannot. I tried flashing the customized p85img.zip with my CID T-MOB010 and it would just return to menu w/o any messages.
Make sure it's p85img in the file name.
Don't INSERT .zip at the end. It should automatically be a .zip file.
The file is named correctly.
There is a thread here ima try and find it were you can revert back to hboot 1.17.0000

i m facinf d same problm wit my sensation with bootloader unlocked thro htc dev. i m unable 2 flash any radios. Even i m unable to flash any custom firmware also. I need ur help if u found any solution.
either downgrade your hboot to 1.17 or update to ics 3.24 which has hboot 1.27 (unlocked) and you will have advance fastboot commands
Same exact problem here, semi-bricked my phone before I went over to Htcdev.... attempting to flash a p85img for HBOOT 1.17 or any p85img does nothing but parse it. Searched all day today couldn't find a thing to help...Others have suggested just waiting until Revolution comes out with an Unlock for 1.20 but I'm determined to find a solution for us.

[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

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??

[Q] How to deal with "hboot version is older"

Need help!!
Has some one met this before? I was trying to downgrade the hboot version and met the error appeared "hboot version is older". My phone is s-on. now the hboot version is 1.27.0000.
My phone was s-off before, one day I upgrade the firmware to 1.27, in order to flash the ICS 4.0.3, after that, I've try to lock back the phone, the command is " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and then s-off was changed to s-on, and the hboot version freezed at 1.27.
But now I am trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.18 or older version, but it couldn't crossed the hboot checking.
My phone is HTC_044, I am using Asia WWE RUU to downgrade.
can some one let me kown is there any good way to s-off again?
Appreciated if you can help me resolve this.
You won't be able to change firmware with s-on.
Have a look at this thread for guidelines to return to s-off.

Hboot 1.17

Hi all,
I am currently running on Hboot 1.17.1111. I had actually flash a coredroid rom, ICS onto my phone, without realizing that i need to flash my hboot to 1.27.
My phone was formerly flash on the gingerbread version. The rom was installed successfully but my phone now keeps restarting at the splash screen. I tried to look for solutions around to update the hboot with 1.23 then to 1.27. However, i am unable to install them. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks for the help

why would you update to 1.23 then 1.27...from my understanding of it, all you need is 1.23 hboot to flash to ICS and 1.23 can also run any GB roms as well, whereas 1.27 can only run ICS Roms
i tried to update to 1.23 but it doesnt work as well.
oh well, i thot that i need to update to 1.27 for the rom flash

Hboot 1.23 is firmware 3.12 and that's outdated ics roms. All the new ones use 1.27
