Hi to hall.
I bought an HTC Sensation with HBOOT 1.17. I've rooted it with the Official LEAK ROM, Sense 3.5 "2.08.401.1_stock_rooted_signed-v0.3.zip" ad S-OFF it.
Unfortunately I had to follow the procedure of S-ON to send back the phone in technical assistance.
Now I have my phone with display repaired, but the assistance have upgrated my HBOOT in new version 1.19.

These are bootloader informations:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.19.0000
eMMC-boot
Sep 6 2011,19:13:20

If i try the S-OFF with the revolutionary.io site it tell me tath the 1.19 is not supported.

How can i have the permanent root and the S-OFF?

Thank's and merry christmas to everybody.

You could try to flash back to hboot 1.17, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.

Just place the file (it must be called PG58IMG.zip) on the root folder of your sd-card, triple check md5 and then boot into bootloader to flash it.

If that works use should be able to S-Off.

Edit: Here are the same instructions (it's about firmware flashing but it's the same method, my reference is also mentioned there)
Edit2: I think Madenssblade is talking about flashing back to an earlier STOCK rom, see here, you can try that if the above does not work

If you flash the new ROM, yes (but not the data on your sdcard).
If you succeed in flashing the new hboot, no.

Good luck, I don't know if this all works given your device is S-ON, but it's worth a try (your HBOOT says unlocked).

A small update.
Yesterday i installed the app 4EXT Recovery Control and i noticed with surprise that i still root; perhaps it was sleeping in the state.
I cannot yet find a guide to give the S-OFF at HBOOT 1.19 :( .

Hi, try to downgrade your firmware. I am not sure but it may work. Try the following.

A. Downgrading the firmware

Visit this thread. Download v1.17 firmware . Are u having superCID? If so then you can download any v1.17 firmware else choose that firmware file which includes your CID. If you are not sure about your CID follow that same thread to find it.

Flash the firmware by the following method.
1. place Firmware PG58IMG.zip (v1.17) on the root of your sdcard.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery.
5.Press power+ volume- key together.
6.Phone will boot into bootloader.
7.Follow the instruction on your phone screen.

If the firmware downgrade successfull then Perform Revolutionary method to make your device S-OFF. If this method does not work try flashing an RUU.

B. Flashing an older RUU (HBOOT 1.17 )

Find a suitable RUU from here.
If RUU Flashing fails, boot into bootloader. Then retry to flash the RUU.

Then try to follow Revolutionary method.

I have tried this process several times but my HTC says "Parsing PG58IMG.zip"

could this be because i am S-ON? i am trying to downgrade from 1.23

Did you try Flashing an RUU?

yes. but when i try to, the phone enters the "black htc screen" and after a couple of minutes i get error 155 from the RUU saying i should get the corrent ROM Update utility.

i dont know whats wrong

Also i have tried to get the rom.zip from the temp folder of my computer sourced from the RUU. changed the name to P......zip so that bootloader can flash. it just ends up saying "parsing P........zip"

As I said earlier , be in bootloader mode first. Then flash RUU. Error 155 should go off.
