my phone is still saying revolutionary and s-off and hboot version is currently 1.17.1111
I am attempting to unroot my htc sensation 4g. can anyone help?
you do not have a thunderbolt,so this procedure will not work. lucky fory ou your phone realized that it is not a thunderbolt,if the flash had been successful youd have had a nice brick on your hands.

for htc sensation the s-off is radio secureflag turned off,not a patched hboot. you should search the htc sensation forum for specific instructions,but in a nutshell,you need to:
-run a stock,signed full ruu to get yourself back to the firmware/software you need to be on. this is very important. turning s-on,with a non-stock hboot will result in a brick. so run an ruu before doing anything else.
-if you changed your CID,and want to change it back to stock,do so with the command: fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is your stock cid(example: HTC__001)
-once you have run your stock,official,signed ruu,changed your cid,then enter the fastboot command: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
-fastboot reboot-bootloader will reboot your bootloader,where you can verify youre s-on.

*also be aware that i do not reccoment s-on for any other reason that sending back the device to your carrier,or to htc.

-could be youre in fastboot or hboot,not the booted OS
-could be you dont have drivers installed,or have some sort of driver error
-could be you do not have usb debugging enabled
-could be bad usb cable or port

could just be that something is confused. try a reboot of the pc and re open your cmd window

i rooted long time ago, whenever the instructions for mac dropped....i didnt use revolutionary, i used adb and believe it was the downgrade exploit

just want to make sure i got this right:

1. Flash PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip in HBoot
2. Flash PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.19.zip in HBoot

Done? Seems super simple, just want to confirm

thanks
