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.

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.

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.

After successfully downgrading my HBOOT to 1.12 and achieving s-off, is there any advantage functionally in flashing HBOOT 1.15 or 1.19
since you will still be s-off, is there a difference.

It would be a good idea to flash the lazy panda hboot found here http://www.unlimited.io/lazypanda.htm as far as the other hboots I'm not sure I have not tried but as long as you update your firmware bits you will be up to date
No real reason to update your hboot once you're s-off...except for the lazy panda hboot the previous poster mentioned. It allows fastboot commands, but it's not required to complete s-off.

Hi!
I want to try out the CM10.1 on my phone, but the recommended HBOOT is 1.49.1107.
I understand, that I can get this hboot after Revolutionary S-OFF, but I'm already s-off with 1.49007 hboot.
Is there any other way, to get that hboot?

Flash that rom, it should work on your hboot. And you answered your own question that you can get that hboot after s-off so download and flash it from bootloader.
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
