[Q] Can I still get S-OFF after taking the 1.43 and 1.50 OTAs

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.

You can't flash it manually whilst s-on, you HAVE to be s-off to flash it manually. You also HAVE to be on 1.50.401.1 to get it officially

Revolutionary doesn't support the HBOOT I am using?

Hello there! To root your Sensation XE you must first unlock the bootloader via HTCDev, after that to get S-off use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617 when you've done this you can install any custom ROM you like

Great thanks. For the unlocking via HTCdev, do I use the 'sensation' or 'all other phones'
(I am using the sensation xe does this vary?)
