Make indeed a full wipe (wipe all you can except sdcard) so that means caches, data, system.....

Install the rom.zip and the installer will start. Make sure you choose the option "update only" and the full rom install. Nice choice you won't regret it.
I can also recommend some nice themes which you can find in my signature ;)

Edit :

Working recoveries

What do you mean by "Yeah flash the boot.img and go into the recovery" ?

And how about the recoveries, why do you sent those files? I'm using openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-endeavoru, can I use it?

I'll try your themes, for sure!!!

Ah yeah you have hboot 1.36. The recovery that you use is not so important because they all work (touch screen issue)

I mean that you must not forget to flash the boot.img

Oh, sorry... just to make sure!

The download will take some more time, but if I have any other problem, I'll write here.

Thanks very much, buddy! I really enjoyed this saga. I though I had lost my phone forever and now I'm one step closer to make it work again.

Regards.. and if you are comming to Brazil's world cup, just let me know if I could help you! =))

    No sense 5 roms and kitkat roms will not work, you need a higher hboot for that !

    Please check the facts first before you send a user into the woods.....hboot 1.12 does not support the latest roms.
    @FSCosta do you have a stock backup ?

    yep downloaded it, i was still on my phone (now on laptop)....it seems genuine. all file sizes match oke. lets flash it :)

    EDIT 1 : writing a tut now....make sure you start with a full battery !

    EDIT 2 :

    - Download the zip file and rename it to firmware.zip and place it in the fastboot folder on the pc
    - Relock the bootloader with ths command :

    fastboot oem lock

    - Then type :

    fastboot oem rebootRUU (watch the capital letters)

    - Then type :

    fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

    Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again if the outcome is not OKE

    Then type fastboot reboot (the phone probably wont boot, hold the power button + vol down button to get back to the bootloader)

    Once in the bootloader you check if th hboot has changed, if so you can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and also a new clean rom (yes any of your liking)
