I've got HBOOT 1.27.0000 so I had no choice but to use the ControlBear method.
The virtual Machine doesn't work on my computer, so I was forced to search for the windows files.
I couldn't find any for the HTC Sensation, but I found one for the Evo 3d.(I have less than 10 posts, so I can't give you guys the link.)
So you can guess what I did. I downloaded the linux files for my HTC Sensation from unlimited.IO site.
And I also downloaded the files for the Evo3D.
Then I extracted both of them.
I replaced the jb_boot.img file and ControlBear.exe. (Not jb_boot.zip) Without the jb_boot.img ControlBear gives an error.
After that I conected my phone, ran ControlBear.exe.
It found my device and did its job(not really), and my phone had to restart. But it keeps on restarting.
All what ControlBear says is trying to reconnect to my phone.
I didn't come to the point where I have to do the "Wire-Trick". The ControlBear logo didn't even show up on my HTC.
I still can launch the menu when I hold the Volume Down+ Power button.
It's not S-Off though, but that was to be expected.

Additional Information:
My HTC Sensation is S-On.
Usb Debugging settings is enabled.
I used the temp-root.batch (it worked)
I did the bootloader thing.

I already turned once my HTC Sensation S-Off, but then with the revolutionary tool.
I had to turn S-On because of the warranty (that also worked).

Sorry for this mistake guys, I know it's stupid.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you help me.
Thank you for your time.

EDIT:
I've fixed it now!
I want to thank you all for your help and contribution, each one of you!
After 4 days i can fineally enjoy my HTC Sensation.

Wich RUU would you suggest?
The stock one?
I think I already have the stock RUU.
My CID is VODAPE17, and my MID is PG5813000.
version-main: 3.32.162.52

find the 3.32.162.52 RUU and flash it. Then attempt again using the linux version from the official site. The windows version was taken down for a reason

I can't find that one.
Is this one fine too? RUU Pyramid Vodafone DE 1.27.162.1.zip
I have to download it from Rapidshare, and it takes... 1 day...
or this one: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.exe
Or this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe

Though my HTC isn't Pyramid ISC?

EDIT:
When I try to install the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.
it says that the utility can't update the android phone. Get the right RUU and try again?
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.27.163.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191976_signed and RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed don't work either...

Well I've fixed the RUU problem, by relocking my HTC again.
I had to type fastboot oem lock.
So i've installed this RUU:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed
My HTC booted nice and worked again.

I've UNLOCKED my HTC with the Unlock_Code.bin from HTCdev(my own code)>
I've used temp-root, and ran ControlBear.exe ( THIS time I got the right one, from a known contributor on this forum)
It made a back-up etc.

But here's the problem again..
After it found his fourth bear my HTC restarted.
After that, it is stuck in a boot loop again...
I've unplugged my phone and plugged back it, but it's still in a boot loop.

I've relocked my HTC, and I'm installing the RUU again..

Any help guys?
I'm kinda getting desperate...

Google kgs utility sensation, you still need the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip zip unless you plan to go HTC dev route but there's both option in the utility(u choose) phone will reboot many times during this, just let it, it's not a 2 minute process, more like 15 or 20minutes

So you're saying that I should unlock my HTC but not with the HTC DEV thing?
Or is my phone not requiered to be UNLOCKED for ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip

Or do I just have to let my phone reboot for 10-15 minutes, with USB plugged on?

if your bootloader is unlocked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN
if your bootloader is locked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip

I've unlocked my bootloade already with the Unlock_Code.bin from htc.
I've used ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN.
Like I said, my HTC gets stuck in a boot loop :(
