Friend has Int. version and installed incorrect rom. How do you recover?

A friend of mine has the international version. He tried to install a rom without fully understanding the procedure. Think he installed an incorrect rom. He can get to the stock recovery screen but cannot go passed it. How can he re-install the factory international rom or revert back to the phone prior to making changes?
Any links or advice is appreciated!

What rom did he install?
Try running the RUU to revert back to stock rom:

What is the general procedure to get his phone back the stock (int)?

Run the RUU If he hasn't installed CWM then he should be fine otherwise flash stock recovery. RUU will install the stock rom.

Sorry bro, I bought my HOX in Vegas last week and loooove it!
I do have a friend (who is probably reading this post) who is in another country (hence, the international version) who did flash a rom and not exactly sure what was involved. Just trying to help him out. I've had my share of rom issues on previous phones.
*Edit* I understand what happened. My friend flashed his phone with another rom, without installing a custom recovery.

Probably flashed an xl Rom

Whatever, just ask your friend to goto bootloader and connect the phone to PC, just relock the bootloader and after that Flash the stock RUU. It should be specific like for me in India, we have to flash 1.2x.720.10 RUU. So check yours and flash. No need to worry if you can go to bootloader and relock it.

Thanks for the help. My buddy is back online. Time for a beer!

Need serious help. Phone not booting

So,I tried installing CM10 following instructions from lloirs thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835285).
I flashed the boot.img in the first step because he says it is a better option.
After that I proceeded to flash the CM10 zip file, but the install failed.
After that my phone wouldn't boot, so I did a restore from CWM and now my phone is stuck on the HTC One screen for a good half an hour.
Please help. Really need the phone tomorrow.

Which ROM would be safe? Because I used the correct Kernel with this as well. Think I should go with the CM9?

for time being use rc 5.0..With kiss kernel.. full wipe first

Thanks so much. Ended up installing CM10. But flashing again worked.
Guess I panicked a bit.

stuck in boot logo :/

so I have installed cm10 and it was working ok. But decided to go back to stock just to test something. I restored my nandroid backup of the original ROM but it's stuck in the HTC One screen.
any ideas? :/

Did you flash the boot.IMG from your nandroid

I don't think he did.
Follow the advice of bogfather, also I think you should've posted this in the Q&A section. Please do so next time for questions and small general "personal" issues.
Thanks.

Just flash the boot.IMG inside the backup folder and then restore the backup.
About post before, no problem mate, I just want to see less of this posts in general. It's kinda driving me crazy.

[Q] Noob Flash

Good afternoon peeps,
Im getting ever closer to flashing my HOX so just want to confirm i get all the correct software etc.
I intend to use the tool kit from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 (thanks hasoon)
and flash Viper from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443 (thanks venom)
Do I just need to dload viper x 3.4.0 and the boot image too?
Thanks for any advise
Andy

Make sure your hboot version is higher or equal to 1.28. You can find it out in bootloader screen..

Is there a way to get into boot loader without plugging into PC?
Im currenlty running JB 4.1 and hat a CID _001
Thanks
Andy

Hold volume down and power button till you reach bootloader screen. Hold them long enough!!
Sent from my One X using xda premium

First disable fast boot(settings-power-unstick fast boot).
Then turn off device, press and hold volume down + power

Thanks to you both. I hope you dont mind the noob questions?
Is the kernal included in the viper x rom or do i have to download something else as well?
Thanks
A

Thanks checked hboot its 1.39
Is this a good thing?
Thanks for the help
Andy

ViperX includes a slightly tweaked stock kernel, which is recommended.
Your hboot version is compatible with the ROM! Just flash and you're good to go!!

Thanks TT,
I will have a proper read tonight and when i have a spare hour i will probably give it a go.
Thanks for answering all my questions I really do appreciate it.
Andy

You can download kernel from Vipers thread(in second post) or extract it yourself from rom.zip(drag and drop method).

Thanks have just done a factory reset in hope my battery is better
If that doesn't work then it's flash time

I thought the boot.img was already included in the Rom?
Thanks
A

Yeah its inside the Rom.zip, you must copy it out there and flash it with fastboot or the toolkit
To sum it up
1: copy the rom to the sdcard of the phone
2: flash the boot.img
3: perform a full wipe in recovery
4: install the viper rom

Mr Hofs,
I have noticed you post and help a lot here - thanks!
I was intending to use the toolkit as im a real noob.
Hopefully it should be straightforward with that.
Thanks
Andy

The toolkit should work fine, i never use a toolkit so im a noob on toolkits

Bricked SGH-i747M(stuck in the booting animation with a reflash)

Hi everybody.At first i want to clarify that i am new to the XDA forum and that english is not my common language so i may have difficulties to understand or being understand. So if misunderstanding occur i am really sorry.
So here what is happening right now. After hours and hours of reading on the XDA forum. I tough it would be cool to root and reflash a custom rom on my SHG-i747M. Si i did root my phone with the unified toolkit v7.0 wich was a success. Then i tried to flash a custom rom wich is avatar rom via cwm recovery. Everything seemed to work fine until i had to reboot the phone wich is now playing the booting animation in loop for hours and hours!
I don't know how to fix this and i am very disapointed since i been looking trough the forum for a solution and doesn't found one yet...So any help would be greatly apreciated! Thank you so much in advance for the help!

Whenever you get a bootloop it's always a good thing to reboot into recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache and try rebooting again.
Thankfully a bootloop isn't bricked.
Also check out xBeerdroiDx guide for rooting and flashing.
