[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.

[Q] Looking for RUU

Folks,
I'm looking for the stock RUU for my Sensation. The current software version is 1.45.707.2.
The phone is rooted and S-off. I want to reinstall the stock recovery so that I can apply updates from HTC. Also, I want to be able to install the stock ICS update when it is released.
My phone is off-network. The CID from the "getprop ro.cid" command is HTC__044, whereas if I use "fastboot getvar all" I find my cidnumb is 11111111. It also lists my modelnumb as PG5813000.
Anyway, I'd be grateful if someone could suggest the most appropriate RUU to use with the Android Recovery Manager.

Bump please!

Can only find this one:

Which one is for xe?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio

Neither as you didn't ask for the XE one, those links are 2 places for the same 1.35.707.1 RUU

May i have the link for the xe one? And the firmware to flash and radio?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio

RUUs include FW and radio so you don't need them.
Which RUU version are you looking for? There aren't many XE RUUs about

The GB version 1.73 asia wwe i think i just want to go back to my stock rom. But before i could flash that i need to lower myhboot back to 1.17

What HBOOT are you on at the moment? If you're S-OFF and Super CID you don't need to go back
Might be worth starting your other thread as well as opposed to hijacking this one

If you're S-ON then you're screwed anyway as you can't S-OFF the 1.27 HBOOT

Thanks EddyOS for your help. Is it OK to use this as my stock ROM to get the recovery? I do want to reflach CWM once the update is installed.

Flash the RUU and you're back to 100% stock (but with S-OFF). Once you've eventually gone through the various OTA updates you'll need to flash before ICS, and the ICS OTA itself, you'll still S-OFF so you can flash CWM by using a PG58IMG.zip as you won't have a fully unlocked bootloader so fastboot commands won't work

Im S-off too.

So just use any RUU to get back to stock - if you didn't make a note of your original FW before you flashed a new ROM then that's your fault

[Q] quick cid question

my cid was originally HTC__038 but now i changed it to HTC__001
now i wish to downgrade gb for revolutionary to get s off
do i have to download ruu of old cid HTC__038(india) ruu india/asia
or for my new cid HTC__001(europe) ruu europe
Thanks

You need the ruu for europe now. But why did you not change to supercid 11111111? It is easier, because you can use all ruus and ROMs.

Can i downgrade from stock 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 i have s on but unlocked trough htvdev
Thanks

its better to downgrade and run the revolutionary tool . because that htcdev method gives wifi,Bluetooth problem when you flash a diff kernel

Revolutionary is really easy to use

He can't try revolutionary with hboot 1.27. Unless he flash the ruu that contains the hboot 1.17 and this is easy to do. FYI if you want I can provide a link to my dropbox and you can download the ruu.

If you are already rooted/S-OFF, you can find "HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348361 at the middle of the 1st post there. Sorry I can't post the direct link since I am a new user here.
