I probably don't know a whole lot more than you do (I'm not a dev or expert or anything), but I pulled this info from lifehacker.com's "always up to date guide on rooting your phone" in the "unrooting" section:
For HTC Phones: HTC phones can flash stock ROMs, known as RUUs, right from the phone's bootloader. You'll need to Google around for your device's specific RUU file, but once you download it, save the ZIP file to your SD card, and rename it (to something like PG05IMG.zip—the download page for the RUU file should specify which filename is required), booting up your phone should automatically flash the stock ROM from HBOOT, HTC's bootloader.
They also have this video of doing that process on a Thunderbolt that might help:

I hope you figure it out!

The pg05img.zip is the name used for the thunderbolt. I think its pg58img.zip for the sensation. Probably want to search and verify this.

Hi,
I need some help with something similar. I would like to root my HTC Sensation XE but i want to be able to unroot it anything goes wrong. The Problem is i can't find a RUU for my phone. I am on Vodafone in Australia and cannot find any vodafone australia RUU for the HTC Sensation XE so is there another way that you can do it without the RUU?

HTC Sensation (UK, vodafone) - first time htc flasher - pointers needed

Hi,
I'm new to the sensation - in fact it isn't my device byt my wifes. I'm more a Galaxy S II/III person and have done many flashes of different firmware on the former. Flashing on that device is really easy... no locked bootloader (which I've therefore never had to deal with) etc
The sensation is currently running Vodafone UK 3.32 build, but we're getting far too frequent crashes, so I'm considering reflashing with the latest generic UK, European, or global firmware to see if this alleviates the issue
I posted the images of the firmware screens on a g+ thread here if any more detail is needed.
A quick peek around this thread didn't immediately point me to a quick-start guide on flashing. Could anyone oblige with a useful link or two?
I'd be flashing from Windows 7 x64. Required language is UK English. I really want stock or very close to stock (she won't want anything to *look* different - in fact I'm still getting slated for allowing the ICS update as before that it was fine ..). Ideally on an official ROM that would allow future OTA updates (preferably generic, more recent). Rooting is not required. Preservation of date would be useful (as this would be a 3.32->3.33 stock upgrade) though isn't essential
Many thanks

without root preserving apps data is not possible ..you can still backup your message and call logs ..using lots of apps (super backup pro, sms backup and restore)
now as you want pure stock or stock like rom with future updates ..the RUU is the option
for RUU info and guide to flash it look here
now you can try the same Vodafone UK ICS RUU ..which i haven't found in any of the repositories
and as you want to try flashing other generic RUU's ..there is a condition to be met ..that is supercid* ..and to do supercid you need SOFF*
CID: carrier Identification ..A 8 character word which is used to identify which carrier and country the phone belongs to .as sensation is global device it has lots of cid's (eg genric unbranded european : HTC__001, Vodafone: VODAP001 etc etc ..more info present in the RUU guide) ..supercid (11111111) is a special cid ..which can be accepted on behalf of any CID
SOFF: security off ..by default the sensation internal memory is locked aka signed (SON) ..and unless we remove sign check ..we cant change much of stuff (we cant even do ROOT as it requires modification in system partition which is a signed internal memory partition). but HTC has provided an alternative UNLOCKED bootloader method ..which removes sign check verifications on certain partitions ..thus allowing custom rom support (remember even UNLOCKED bootloader by HTC is not sufficient to change the CID to supercid as this process involves modification in bootloader itself which is still signed(locked) )
now to SOFF there are two methods ..and its explained in this post

Hi and welcome to the HTC flashing family
Please find the Android Revolution HD link in my signature for most of the info you requested.
It is a close to stock rom as requested, with a very large community and great support.
The ARHD thread's first few posts contains both lots of useful info and some great links for other posts dedicated to newcomers.
I cant link you directly with the info you requested as I'm not on my computer atm. Please reply with more questions if the info above is not sufficient and I'll get back to you in a day with more specific links.
Good luck

You can try THIS thread for information on rooting/s-off and other things. Once you've read through those and successfully rooted our phone you can try THIS thread for a stock experience, but with a lot of the inherent HTC bugs fixed, and more optimizations. I will point out that ARHD ROM is a fixed stock ROM essentially. Thus relies on HTC to put out new official updates. But the sensation is an old phone now, and probably won't receive many more updates if any at all. Thus this ROM will unlikely see any major updates.
EDIT: Woops! Beaten to it! TWICE!

Thanks guys, that info is really useful. Will look through tomorrow

[Q]is changing firmware variant on HTC one m7 safe/will the phone function?

Hi there, checked the related threads but they do not cover this question. I just want to be safe with what I am doing before going about doing it.
I have an unlocked, s-off, rooted HTC one m7, and I'd like to upgrade the firmware to exactly match that of the new ARHD 62 release (4.19.401.11).
As I have my phone's CID number to 11111111, I shouldn't face any regional trouble and I could always re-install the radio software after upgrading the firmware.
Basically my question is whether it would be safe to go from a 1540 base firmware, to a 401 base firmware.
My carrier is Rogers.
Thank you for the help!

my MID is PN07120

Help - htc one a9 unlocked

I recently updated my HTC One A9 to the new Marshmallow 6.01 version and now the wifi does not work at all (missing wifi module (8)) and the battery is at 4000%. My software number is 1.56.709.70, i believe this is the taiwan variant but it is unlocked. How do I fix this? Please help, do I flash an ruu or something? How do I know which ruu works for this phone?

if your A9 is S-ON you have to search for a signed RUU with your software number (1.56.709.70).
You may also try to factory-reset your phone in download mode
If nothing helps you can unlock and S-Off your phone - after that you are able to flash any RUU
