Okay, so i was previously on HBOOT 1.50 with an htc unlock, however thanks to XDA Member Unknownforce i am now back to HBOOT 1.40 with Revolutionary S-Off, if i ran the latest RUU 2.17.651.5 or PG86IMG file with hboot 1.50.nbo will i then be on 1.5 with s-off or ...
Dont do the official update I am on RUU 2.17.651.5 with Hboot 1.4 S-off after doing the upgrade.
There is a thread on here that has the updates you need to keep you off of hboot 1.5

Is S-off still not acheivable on hboot 1.50?
MY 3d says RELOCKED with s-OFF and HBOOT 1.50 Radio 0.97.10.0000.
How can i downgrade?
DO NOT use the method in my thread for the downgrade, bricking your phone with S-OFF will be permanent.
The good news is, you're already S-OFF, which means You can flash any PG86IMG.zip file. So if you want the HBOOT to be unlocked, you can flash the ENG hboot. If you want revolutionary hboot you can flash the 1.13 RUU and/or the 1.40 hboot and then do revolutionary.
See the thread below for the ENG Hboot and/or the 1.40 hboot. Rename it to PG86IMG.zip instead of whatever it is and flash from bootloader.

Has anyone achieved this? I think I just did accidentally.
Right now I'm in a custom recovery (teamwin) with 1.50 Hboot S-OFF.
Well, you can still get full root with Hboot 1.50 even through HTCDev method.
What you can't get is S-Off. You can still be on HBOOT 1.50 with S-Off if you updated to HBOOT 1.50 from 1.40 while you were S-Off.
Even then, there's still a downgrade for HBOOT 1.50 users.
What you probably did was updated from hboot 1.30 or 1.40 with s-off to 1.50 and kept the S-Off like you should have.

You either had s-off to begin with, oryou had s-off to begin with. You're good to go, no need to downgrade the bootloader unless you want eng hboot. 1.5 means nothing, s-on is the problem. But you're s-off.
My original 1.30 hboot that i had died and sprint gave me a new one of course it had 1.50 and 2.17 on it. So i downgraded the hboot 1.40 and now stuck at security warning. Im assuming its because the wrong software is detected for the 1.40 and its throwing a fit. anyone have a link to the one i can flash now either via PG86IMG or ruu.exe to make it where all i need to do now is then run revolutionary?
You need to flash the old ruu which I suppose is the 1.13 , and then run Revolutionary

I have Juopunutbear's S-OFF Hboot 1.50 and want to upgrade to Hboot 1.58 via official ICS OTA update. Do I need to relock my phone via Juopunutbear or can just update to 1.58 via OTA update and then use Juopunutbear to unlock Hboot 1.58?

You don't need to relock to use the RUU or do the wire trick again afterwards since you will stay S-OFF after updating to ICS.
This post contains my recommendation for someone else in a similar situation, although he had the 1.4 bootloader installed. The same process should work for you using the download in the OP of that thread.
The reason to flash the JuopunutBear Sprint ICS (1.58.5858) bootloader is to allow you to run the fasboot commands like flash, erase and boot. If you don't care about that, just stay with the 1.58 bootloader that the RUU.exe installs.
