[Q] Guide to DOWNGRADING from Android 4.0.3 to 2.3.4 for Sensation

Could anyone help me by giving me few steps towards doing this? Once I complete is successfully I will edit this and post a full, detailed guided for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
What I have:
-HTC Sensation which has the latest Android update (never rooted, never changed from anything default)
-I downloaded the RUU 1.5... TMOUS
-I saw that I need to do a bootloader from HTCdev on my phone and Install Android SDK
Can anyone PLEASE give me a little better guide on what to do exactly?
Often people just say "its in the forums, here's a link" and the link will take me to a million other links and explanations. Very confusing and I wasn't able to find a good explanations for us noobs.
THANK YOU ALL!

Well it is very simple Imo... You need to get a gingerbread ruu and run it in windows nothing else... That should be enough

Thank you, but unfortunately it is not simple for me. I got the gingerbread RUU, but what do I need to do on the computer, cell phone part?
Thanks again!

JuopunutBear to S-OFF. Flash GB RUU

All you have to do is run the RUU. Make sure your PC has the appropriate drivers for your device and HTC Sync. I had to restore a few times using the stock 1.73.401.4 RUU for my Sensation XE, and that is all that I had installed. I can verify that root is not needed in my experience although I did have S-Off.
I hope this helps.

Don't need HTC Sync installed. Just need the drivers. Not sure if RUU comes with said drivers. Need to be S-OFF to downgrade hboot. ICS hboot is NOT compatible with GB (1.23 is, but that's not what's included with the latest RUUs).
Without S-OFF, you CANNOT RUU back to GB.
If it were so simple as flashing GB RUU, we wouldn't need JuopunutBear

downgrade is very complicated.
root the current ICS and install recovery
Juopunubear S-OFF (require htcdev unlock and root)
downgrade firmware to 1.17
flash GB rom or run GB RUU

Hey Guys im trying to root my sensation and im doing the revolutionary steps but i got this on the screen of the revolutionary soft
Your Device: pyramid, with HBOOT 1.27.0000 is not supported at this time. So does this means i cant root my phone at all?
Please someone who can explain me more about this?? or guide me to another direction of doing this??

no i havent and im on 4.0.3

Revolutionary s-off DOES NOT work with hboot 1.27. You have to user junuoput bear s-off by unlimited.io
By the way, s-off is not the same as rooting your phone. Read the link that was posted carefully.
Also, 4.0.3 is not your firmware version, it's your android software version.

Can anybody tell me what steps to do.. and maybe how?

I.E.
- Have I just to unlock bootloader trough htcdev website or also s-off it via ControlBear and the wire trick?
- Have I to upgrade my firmware at 3.33 or my 3.32 is ok? If yes, how and where I can find it?
- What recovery have I to flash after all from where to flash SuperXE?
- Any other hints?
Thank you very much for your patience

it might help you in understanding stuff regarding sensation
now for the questions
1. you can do it via both HTC-DEV unlock way or SOFF whatever you prefer (differences between them ? -> read the above poast )
2. 3.32 firmware will work completely fine ...no need to change to 3.33 firmware (unless you face reception problems )
3. my preferrence 4EXT (helps in SON + HTCDEV case very well )
4. read the above post ..thoroughly

Thank you for your answer
Just one question left. On the link you wrote me is written:
2. Flashing/installing ROM from custom recovery with HTC-DEV unlock...requires an extra step...and if that extra step is not done ..phone wont boot (literally around 90% threads in Q&A section are about this problem as people didn't knew about the extra step )
But what is this extra step?
In the linked thread they talk about flashing "boot.img" extracted from new custom ROM. Is it correct?
Thank you

Go to the guide with flashing roms with s-on
There you will see extra 1step
But if you have installed 4ext recovery and enable smartflash before flashing the rom then you don't need that step

Hi,
thank you to everybody! I've installed it and it works great! Very fast and reactive. A new life for my Sensation!
There is only a litle bug...
When I try to search manually for mobile networks (gsm/umts) i got an error after 30s of searching. (my home network is connected and working)
Do anybody already noticed it?
Thanks
Umberto.

Yup, I think it's a known bug throughout all 4.1+ jellybean ROMs.
