So, I'm one of those right now. After extensively researching, this is what I have. I very much appreciate any help.
I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my M8, booted into it nicely, rebooted into recovery and found that I could no longer boot back into the system. When I try to install a rom the recovery reboots. If I do succeed in wiping and reinstalling before it reboots, the phone will still not boot past the htc logo where it says dont redistribute and all that, the red text page.
I can get into fastboot, and like I said recovery is currently limited. I've tried re-flashing recoveries through fastboot, I have tried to re-flash the ROM, I am not sure what to do now.
Any help, again, is appreciated.
Thank You.

Good evening everyone,
I've been scanning the forums and everyone's problems seems a little different. First of all, i was running CM10 and missed some of the sense features, so i jumped to ViperX.
1. Everything seemed fine on first run, got the snakey tail, but then i noticed it was hanging just after this with the "Htc quietly brilliant" screen and snakey long gone!
2. So i reboot my phone, this time, it just hung on the first start screen and never so much as flinched.
3. I booted into recovery (CWM) and couldn't even get there, it was like a blink of the recovery screen and then it vanished and rebooted, I wiped everything clean by doing a factory reset and tried to reboot again. Same result.
4, Flashed TWRP and managed to get into recovery mode and install ViperX again but on reboot I'm stick at that same ol' "quietly brilliant" screen, this time with no snakey.
I can get into hboot to use fastboot and into recovery in TWRP but cannot get into the OS. I'm not clear as to whether this is a problem with hboot or the way the rom is installed but any suggestions or such about how i've gone about things and how to go about getting around this problem would be great! Gracias! :good:
Did you flash the correct boot.img?

Strangely, and by the luck of trial and error, I tried 2 boot images. The first was for CM10 (again, this was trial and error) and now i've just rebooted from the ViperX one and managed to get back in. Back up in progress! Phewww!!!!
You get my thanks for replying anyhow!
I was able to get my VS HTC One S-Off with Firewater, thankfully.
As I was trying to load Cyanogenmod, the Wipe Cache process seemed to take way too long >30minutes. I powered down and rebooted, and then loaded the cyanogenmod stable RC zip. The phone is now permanently stuck in the cyanogenmod boot loop, with the blue arrow going in a circle.
I can't even get it to power down successfully...but sometimes it will turn off and then go back into the same loop. I have gotten it to fastboot once, but I tried to wipe all the caches/partitions again, and reboot...and same loop.
Any help please?
=============
More info:
I was able to get into CWM v6.0.4.7 recovery. I'm was able to sideload the STABLE CM 10.2 for verizon htc one...and it seems to have installed. But I'm still going into a boot loop. The loop is different for the stable version than it was for the release candidate...just a different CM logo and circle. So that's how I know the CM 10.2 stable loaded effectively. It rebooted on it's own one time after 10 mintues of looping, but still stuck.

It's the recovery, I'm 99% sure of it. I had the same issues that you described and resolved it by flashing CWM 6.0.4.4.
You should be able to find it somewhere on the forum but if not I have a copy on my FTP here: http://www.radracer.us/otp/droid/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-m7vzw_2.zip
Once you flash the new recovery do a data/cache wipe as you usually would and then try loading CM once more. The data/cache wipe should be almost instant.(<60seconds)

After trying a few other roms unsuccessfully, I read somewhere about a CM11 Nightly that was very stable. I wiped everything 3 times, sideloaded it, and voila...it's working fine right now.
Thanks for all the help...I'm finally on Cyanogenmod...which has been evading my phone of choice for so many years!
I screwed up.
I wanted to install a new custom mod after purchasing a new SM-P605. I rooted my device, and searched for a while on how to install a custom recovery (TWRP). I downloaded ODIN and flashed it a couple of times but it didn't work, I kept getting a "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and the screen freezes.
Then I tried Rashr's flash tool to install TWRP for me, and afterwards selected "boot into recovery".
Now i'm stuck in the same screen, but whenever I tried to restart, i get back to it, and can't get back in the system.
What can I do?
I'm unfortunately stuck in a very similar situation.
I was updating the firmware on my tablet to 4.4.2 downloaded off Sammy mobile, uploading using Odin. I've done this dozens of times since my S2 which was 12 handsets and 6 Android tablets ago. This time, about a third of the way through the process hung for a few minutes then the device restarted without warning and now its stuck in a loop where it starts normally

Then says
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery.
Then this

and stays on that screen for short periods before rebooting and starting the above again.
Thanks in advance for any tips or help you guys can provide!

Thanks, but it turns out the solution to my problem was simple. I took it to the place I got it from and the guy just pressed power, vol and menu button long enough until it rebooted. I'm quite a noob it seems.
I'm not sure if it will help you Nationalmaverick, because my problem was slightly different.
Hi,
I had rooted my device with TWRP Recovery installed. I then updated my Cyanogen 12 version from cm-12-20150430-NIGHTLY to cm-12-20150502-NIGHTLY. Post that, I did a factory reset from CM12. Since then, my phone has been stuck in a constant TWRP Loop where the TWRP logo keeps flashing every few seconds. Unable to access the recovery. The phone buttons do not power off or restart the phone. However, I can access fastboot if i let the battery run out and then start the phone. Please help me.

Got it done guys. Reinstalled twrp using fastboot. This stopped the loop.
Thanks !!
This morning I was running the latest PureNexus rom with the ElementalX kernel, browsing the web on Chrome when it froze and shut down.
I can access the bootloader/fastboot just fine but once I boot it up normally it freezes on the loading screen. It also freezes several seconds after entering TWRP.
After attempting to boot up multiple times unsuccessfully, I flashed the latest stock image from Google's website. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. I can't boot up (still freezing), and TWRP has been flashed over by the stock recovery. If I do "fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0-bullhead.img", it does boot into twrp but again freezes.
Any help appreciated, I'd like to try all other solutions before sending it up for repair.
