then i suggest you to flash a GB RUU ..then on top of it flash ICS RUU and check again
iirc there is a guide which addresses this issue perfectly ..its in sensation general section ...do a search there
EDIT:
found it ...here..may be it might help
EDIT2:
AHH wait ...try changing back to your original cid (fastboot oem writecid <yourcid>)..if you are supercid ..then reboot and see

[Q] Bricked HTC Sensation 4G ?!

Today , i successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G, everything was working totally fine, but then I wanted to install and custom ROM , called Super Villain Shensation.
I followed everything like the instructions told me to, but it says that the installation was aborted. and when i want to reboot my phone, it just stays on the white HTC logo screen, and doesnt do anything. I am able to get to the bootloader, but when i try recovery the same thing happens. what do i do !?
First of all, it is not bricked. Moving forward you need to re-download the ROM to make sure it is not a corrupted download, then try to flash again.
In order it would be:
-re download ROM again (I would personally suggest a ginger bread ROM that doesn't require you to flash firmware and such)
-download super wipe
-put them both in your sd card, somewhere where you could find the files
-go into your recovery and flash the super wipe zip (found in the Android Revolution thread)
-flash ROM
-let it boot (it will take about 5 minutes)
-done

Can you get to the bootloader?

Need tothrow the pg85.img zip on the root of you're sd card then boot into bootloader. Follow on screen instructions.
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
Go to your bootloader like previous poster said and paste this file in the root of your sd card.
-Press the up volume rocker once you get the prompt to do it
If everything goes the way is suppose to go, you will be able to get into recovery again and flash whatever ROM you like.
This file contains Clockwork recovery

Did you superCID? If not, what is your CID, because the file: P58IMG.zip is the firmware package for your device, and it's CID dependent. Get the one you need from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

What is you hboot if it's 1.18 or below and since you're r now s-on you need to run an ruu for ics that is closes to you stock rom. To upgrade your firmware to an ics compatible firmware. If it's 1.2x then you can htc-dev unlock and if you want s-off use jb then flash 4ext recovery even if your just htc-dev unlock. If your just htc-dev unlocked in 4ext enable smart flash. Now your good to go!

Without knowing what your CID it will be a difficult one
You may be luck and find your CID listed here

If you can get into recovery you can still set SUPERCID by following these instructions.

Boot bootloader, connect device to PC, use admin cmd prompt and "fastboot getvar cid"
If you get HTC_xxx then either check the firmware supports that, or follow guide for superCID as suggested above.

How to Flash recovery?

I have followed the instructions how to flash recovery yet it just wont flash it tell me wrong image or no image. The recovery is on the root of the sd card but when I put into hboot screen it wont update. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Download that, install it, and flash the recovery from there.

Ok I am going to ask the obvious questions here.
1. Is the file name PG58IMG.zip? If not the stock recovery will not flash it.
2. Do you have the file on the root of your SD card? If not the stock recovery will not detect the file. If you do not know what the root of your SD card is, it imeans it is not in a folder.
3. Have you tried re downloading just in Case it is a bad down load?
4.have you checked your SD card with a reader to make sure it is a readable card?
5. Are you positive your bootloader is unlocked?
Edit:
6. Have you tried flashing it via ADB fastboot commands?

Ok if the bootloader is unlocked your Hboot would read either of the following.
S-offed via Revolutionary will say Revolutionary Shipped S-off or something like that, you will know if it is there.
S-offed via HTC Dev it will say Unlocked Shipped S-on.

Yes if you flash the official OTA file it will remove root. You only have to super CID if you want to be able to flash official ROMs from other regions besides your own. But saying that it is still a good idea to Super CID as some Custom ROMs may require it depending on what the ROM base is.

It will otherwise your gonna have to stay whit sense 3.0 roms and i think 3.5 aswell just root get s-off grt recovery flash rom power off go back into hboot whit the firmware on root of your sdcard it will ask for update do it reboot and enjoy and you can do supercid later if you wish..

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting
in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?

S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear
