hi, if you want to return s-on, you have to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
and no, if you do s-off you can't get update from htc

Tnx ;-)

there is the button "thanks"

you can get updates from htc with s-off as long as you are otherwise completely stock (including recovery)

Downgrading the hboot from 1.18 to 1.17

I am trying to get cid to work but I have read that it will only work on 1.17 any ideas ?

If you use revolutionary to S-OFF your device it will have hboot 1.17 (from my own experience)
You can only change cid if your hboot is S-OFF

So unlocking the bootloader is not s-off that's just onlocking the recovery

If you want to change your cid you need to have an unlocked bootloader by S-OFFING your hboot
But why do you even want to change your cid?

No need to supercid for custom roms, since they don't have cid checking. Just s-off and flash a recovery

Thanx I've been trying to figure that out all night I'm glad I can use Sense 4 is there something specific I have to do as far as flashing I'm on latest 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

All the ones that refer to 3.32.xxx.xx also works for 3.33.xxx.xx, so go ahead and use them

I think he means that you should downgrade the hboot but it is not possible with an s-on device.
To s-off your device you can use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Root your device with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276
But be careful and read the readme, no one takes responsibility if you brick your device.

I got i rooted, but juonuputbear corrupted my sdcard, it fixed now and I'm running CM10
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

Yes there is a easy way of doing it you could flash a ruu that has the boot 1.17 and then head on over to alpha revolutionary and then s off and then root and then head over to 4ext.net download your new custom recovery and set it up and then upgrade your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33 you will then have hboot 1.27 next flash a Rom
