Problem solved :)

Hey friends,

Problem solved

HTC_332 HTC ONE latin american version briked after downloading an OTA 4.3 update, NOW back in business.

Contacted HTC service, asking for a RUU to solve the problem using the easy way, after talking with the very kindly girl, she told me that actually there is no RUU for this latin american version, therefore the only solution was to send the phone to be repaired by the official HTC technical service.

As I flashed an TWRP recovery, open the bootloader, etc, I was obvioulsy not suitable for the HTC tech support.

So, that was my situacion the past three days. BRICKED PHONE.

After reading all your kindly aswers finally could bring back to life my Latin America version HTC ONE HTC_332 following this guide, making some mistakes but trying again and again:

Steps:

1: Sonoita member suggested me this thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f48...-ul-m7vzw-m7wls-easly-recover-method-1863513/

Download the ROM posted above and place it under your SDK Android tools folder, inside platform tools folder.

2: Proceed to Open your phone's bootloader, I used HTCDEV website.

3: Select the appropiate custom recovery for your HTC ONE model from the web posted above and Flash your custom recovery (I used TWRP) I will assume that all of these procedures are well known, instructions for these tasks are well documented in this useful site also.

4. In the TWRP custom recovery there is an options under "Advance" Tab , select "adb sideload", the phone will come into an "awiting for something to happen" status and you will read in the upper side of the screen a message: "adb sideload filename.zip". Here the phone is telling you the CMD command that must be written in the PC.

5. In your PC Open an CMD windows, select your SDK folder,---> Platform Tools folder, open a cmd windows command prompt.

6.- This is the tricky part. Make sure that the Rom Downloaded is "perfectly downloaded", I mean you have to check the File Using the MD5 cheksum ultily., so you may confirm that the downloaded rom matches the file in the website. My first downloaded 1.3Gb rom file was unable to be flashed, I didn't realized that somehow, it arrived with an error.

7.- In the windows command prompt opened in the pc type: adb sideload ViperOne 7.0.1.zip

At this step, I had two main Errors that almost made me give up:

Error 1: I've received the following adb menssage: error "cannot read sideload"

Solution: make sure you downloaded the most up to date SDK ANDROID tool, I had to get this file: "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702.zip" from "https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=i" 354 Mb file but With that file I've solved the "cannot read sideload" annoying message.

Error 2: after solving the first error, I've received this one: "cannot read ViperOne 7.0.1.zip"

Solution: Downloading once again the Rom, and proceed with the chesum MD5 verification in order to confirm that the file has no imperfections.

Also you may check that your windows folder options in your pc shows the file extensions. To avoid rename the rom "ViperOne 7.0.1.zip.zip".

8.- After that everithing went fine, the cmd command "adb sideload ViperOne 7.0.1.zip" did its job, sent the file and after that you must follow your on-scren instructions in you HTC ONE screen.
