stuck on BOOT LOOP & cant get into recovery!

Hello guys.... so I flashed a rom about 6 months ago, and yesterday my phone died and when I put it on the charger it was stuck on boot loop. I tried to go into recovery but when I do it also goes into boot loop. I've also tried the ADB command, but it says "Adb is not recoznices as an internal or external commad operable program of bactch file" so i'm out of ideas right now..i can't really flash another rom if I can't get into recovery can anybody help me? thanks in advance...

In fastboot, you can only use fastboot commands. Choose fastboot from the HBOOT menu, and when connected to your computer, it should say "FASTBOOT USB." Then, you should be able to do a "fastboot devices," and your device should show up. Please provide the output of "fastboot getvar all" and we can better judge how to proceed.

That's not what I asked for, but it might be enough. You'll need to relock the device (fastboot oem lock) and then flash the 5.07.651.1 firmware.zip via RUU mode.
Here's the file you need to download, and place the file in the same folder on your computer from which you're running fastboot.
So, after relocking, at the command prompt reboot to RUU mode.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flash the firmware zip.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Once complete, the command prompt will come back, and you can reboot back to the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point, you will have the stock recovery, and hopefully it'll boot into it. So, when you get back to HBOOT, choose the "RECOVERY" option. If all is well, you'll get the red triangle with exclamation point, which is the stock recovery. Press both volume buttons and the power button at the same time to bring up the menu, and choose the option to reboot the device now. Hold the volume down button immediately after choosing to reboot so you can get back into HBOOT.
From there, you just have to unlock again, and then you should be able to flash a custom recovery.
Make sure you are running these commands from the folder with fastboot.exe in it. Otherwise they will give you the error you mentioned in your OP.

This may sound dumb but im having a problem relocking the device. My computer is not registing my phone.

For the purposes of this exercise, you need to select "FASTBOOT". Once you select that, it should change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB if the drivers are installed correctly.
Nothing is supposed to open on your computer - I'm not sure what you mean by that. You have to open a command prompt, and navigate to the location of fastboot.exe on your computer, which you're presumably downloaded previously.

Im not sure what I meant either sorry its been a long day. So, okay I have the correct drivers because it does say FASTBOOT USB but when I try in that command i get an error message stating it's not recognize internal or external.

Again, you have to run the command from the folder with fastboot.exe in it. Are you doing that? Please provide a screenshot of the folder contents and the command prompt.

I dont think I am because this is literally what i have the phone plugged into my pc and then I have command prompt running.... so when you say i have to run the command from the folder...i guess i'm lost as in what folder since my phone is on the screen that says fastboot usb... sorry! noob completely!

Have you downloaded fastboot to your computer?
---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------
You can download fastboot from here: https://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_fastboot_win
Wherever you save that is the folder you need to open the command prompt from, and where you need to put the firmware zip file.

no i havent....but i have it now... its done downloading now

You shouldn't be running anything related to adb. Just follow my instructions. Everything I said is for fastboot, not adb.

What do you mean when the command prompt came up? I asked for screenshots for this reason. Difficult to be able to determine the issue if you don't provide enough information.

Okay back to the start, I have both files in one folder....do I extract?

HTC One M8 Verizon has no OS & no Recovery...

All, I have an Unlocked, S-Off, Rooted HTC One M8 w/ Verizon that I was running Cyanogenmod 12.1, their latest snapshot.
Today the screen was black w/ the notification light blinking as I had a message. I couldn't get the screen to come on. I held in power + volume up until the phone rebooted. It rebooted to the boot loader. I told it to reboot & when it did the HTC splash screen didnt have the normal warnings that I'm used to seeing; warning something about developer options maybe; I can't remember. Anyways it just keeps booting to the bootloader & when I try to boot to recovery; it just reboots back into the bootloader. I've tried to flash to the lastest version of twrp via ADB on my pc, the flash is successful; but doesn't work when i try.
I've also ran...
fastboot erase cache
as i found that suggestion online.
Nothing is working for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks

No luck. Even though I can run fastboot commands, the RUU exe package reboots the phone, then eventually fails at waiting for bootloader, even though the bootloader is ready. I get error 171 USB Connection Error, from the RUU exe on my pc.
Thoughts?

Found an SD card that would fit & am now trying option 1 of the RUU.
Fingers crossed, updating just completed successful. Two steps were bypassed. Step 8, SBL1 (8) & Step 13 TP.
No change... Dang
Still same loop, boots to bootloader, selecting recovery reboots to bootloader.
Am I missing something?

I guessing you have used this cp before for commands or flashing on m8.
What OS on cp?
Using USB2 port, not USB3?
HTC drivers installed?
ADB commands recognize m8?

This is the first time for me using a computer to flash my m8 or any other phone. I've always rooted, unlocked bootloader & then used TWRP.
OS on pc is Windows 7.
USB 2
HTC Drivers are installed
Im not sure is ADB commands work. I can get the Fastboot commands to work.
Nothing is listed after I run ADB Devices
I do get a device when I run fastboot devices.
The L hboot is an image, did you mean to say run it the same way as option 1?

Ok, so i ran the L hboot by renaming it & putting on an SD card, option 1. That worked fine.
Powered off.
Ran the RUU by renaming it & putting on an SD card, option 1. That worked and had the same two bypasses as before.
Rebooted & pulled out the SD card, but sadly; same results.
I think Im going to bed, its late here on the East Coast.
I'll check back in the morning. Thank you for your continuing help.

Sorry it did not work for you, maybe try the L hboot again & run RUU from pc.
If that does not work I'm out of ideas, maybe someone else could give some suggestions.

Still up, wanted to give you time to respond.
I can't get the RUU update to run from pc, so it looks like this could be a dead end for me. Thank you again for trying.
I hate to get a new phone, none of the new Verizon phones can be rooted or an unlocked bootloader.
Can't get the new Nexus phones as we purchase directly through Verizon & not Google. (this is my company phone & HAS to be purchased through Verizon)
I'll retrace some steps in the morning.

Looked back at the error you were getting trying to flash ruu with pc.
I'm not going to try to tell you to do the sdcard method because that did not work for me.
Here is a link that worked for some, even though this is not for the htc m8.
Think you may need to uninstall htc manager & clean with cc cleaner & reinstall.
Also try re downloading ruu incase it got corrupt.

Don't forget to uninstall htc sync before doing anything with ruu, it may interfere, the drivers remain behind.
What about the usb cable you are using, is it a data cable that came with m8 or spare that mainly used for charging.

Still not working.
Followed all the instructions, re-downloaded the RUU. I've uninstalled the HTC sync & drivers; ran cc cleaner, rebooted, reinstalled HTC snyc & drivers.
I've even tried this on two different Windows 7 pc's. One I left the HTC Sync on, the other I uninstalled & just left the HTC drivers behind. (as one person suggested)
Should the RUU installer app say updated to version & then it instead of a version it list odd characters that I dont even know how to type on a keyboard?
I think I've got my first true brick.

Using a different cable, I get the same problem.
I dont think its the cable, because the RUU can read the current version of firmware thats on the phone, then issues the phone to reboot. Then the RUU app just sits & says waiting for bootloader.

Same deal... any help would be appreciated. Can't seem to get to Fastboot or Recovery. I can get it to charge, and I can get it to hook up to PC and see MOOREFIELD in Device Manager with no driver, sometime for the Intel SOC stuff.

Code:
Flash temporary recovery.
Via xFSTK. helped me many times when I hard bricked my phone.
Use Asus flash tool to upload the raw file via fastboot.
Once upload you could enter recovery. And you'll see an "error" by holding volume up and power and quickly release the volume up. You'll be brought to The recovery menu (do this when you see an error occurred)
Now you'll see the option flash via adb.
Flash the full stock rom again via adb sideload.
You'll be on track back
Don't worry you won't lose your apps and files.
Bootloader gets locked and unroot.
You know what to do next mate.
Follow the link provided below.
P.s after flashing the raw file... You could only enter fastboot and you'll have endless loading on boot screen if you didn't enter fastboot. Your OS won't load until you flash stock rom via adb sideload.

I have tried that method but that did not work, because after booting up and stuck at logo my phone just disconnect USB and my computer cannot detect it

Looks like I have the same problem. Stuck with splashscreen without access to fastboot . Did anyone successfully fix this problem ?

My computer cannot detect my phone as it automatically disconnect from USB before the ASUS Screen appear

Same problem here. The xftsk says it failded to download fw+os then the phone reboots and fails to reconnect.

No bootloader, gray usb debbugging, gray OEM Unlock, semi working recovery.

Hey, I have Galaxy A5 2017.
The phone works but i cant wipe it,. I cant enter bootloader holdings key combinations.
USB Debugging is gray, cant enable it, OEM Unlock too...
When i enter recovery it says that Android is updateing, after it recover is visible but say that
E:Failded to celar BCD message: failed to find /misc partition..
I can use Apply update from ADB
Can I do something about it?

The error in the recovery is normal I think. If I were you, I would clean flash from Odin. Hold power + home + volume down button to get into download mode.

You know the phone needs to be powered off before doing booting into download mode? And the option from recovery doesn't work on any Samsung because we dont have bootloader mode, just download mode.

It's the only method
Home+Volume Down+Power
Release when Logo appears

If the adb still working, then try use this command while your phone is on (USB debug is on of course),
adb devices
adb reboot download
it will take your phone to download mode. if it working normally...

You also must download your flash file to your /:C disk, map platform tools, unpack your file .maybe you'll have to unpack twice, you need tgz. File
