Boot Loop crash, RUUs and Recovery not working

Hello,
This morning I woke up to my Verizon HTC one rebooting constantly. The night before I had done nothing unusual, just some games and youtube. I have not changed any system or xposed settings in at least 2 weeks. A few days ago the phone had begun randomly rebooting and I thought I would just flash a new rom soon so I didn't worry too much about it. I was/am running clean rom.
Right now I just want to get something functional, I can not seem to do much with device other than reboot it. TWRP is installed, but it crashes and reboots a few seconds after loading. I tried the RUU from this thread 3 times (verified the MD5 too) and no change. I had to use the SD card as the fastboot oem rebootRUU just seems to boot up the phone normally.
Additionally I tried flashing CWM and that did not "Stick" it appeared to flash successfully, but attempting to boot into recovery only brings up TWRP.
I've tried wiping the cache several times, but that did not seem to help at all.
If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them. Bonus points if you know what caused this. Right now I just want something that will function as a phone even if it means unrooted stock. I had this exact issue one month ago and I had Verizon replace the phone, I doubt they will be as willing to replace it a second time.

I'm not familiar enough with the verizon specific issues to help beyond offering the suggestion that you post the same question in the verizon M8 section. Hopefully, there's a "restore to stock" type thread in the verizon area that would be helpful to get things normalized again.

Just to verify, when flashing your recovery you are using
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and not
fastboot flash boot twrp.img?

Yes, I am definitely flashing to recovery rather than boot. On boot I get the clean rom loading screen (not twrp).
I did manage to get CWM up for a few minutes using fastboot boot, but that eventually crashed as well.

[Q] 3.28.401.6 Need to root but stay on stock recovery.. help?

Hi,
Just managed to update to 3.28.401.6.
Currently, my phone is S-Off, SuperCID but otherwise completely stock since I just updated OTA and then for good measure factory reset using stock recovery.
I used to be able to temporarily flash philz recovery via fastboot (fastboot boot philz.img) but this for some reason no longer seems to work with the new HBOOT? It just locks up the white bootloader screen..
So my question is.. how do I now load up a custom recovery to flash supersu (root)?
I'm thinking that I'll have to permanently flash a custom recovery and then flash back to stock recovery afterwards. The problem is the last part - how do I know what stock recovery version I need? I'd prefer to be able to backup my existing stock recovery if possible? Also in this case, if I permanently flash a custom recovery I guess the nandroid backup I'll make won't be 100% stock (it'll contain the custom recovery in it instead of the stock one?)?
My fastboot getvar all shows:

My aim is to be rooted (staying S-OFF) but otherwise with stock recovery so that any future OTA's I will be able to receive and flash.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Check the collection thread. Flash the custom and when done the stock back.

Thanks for the reply. I was looking through your thread earlier.
I'm perhaps being a bit stupid here... but I don't know which one is the stock recovery for 3.28.401.6? I can see under Stock Recoveries the last version is 1.54.401.10 - I'm guessing that this isn't the one? Under dual sim version I can see 3.28.401.6 recovery but my phone isn't a dual sim one!
Thanks again
EDIT: I am being very stupid.. just noticed that the Red text for Dual Sim is actually a link to a recovery of it's own..! It's not a separate heading for different recovery versions!! I'll go ahead now and flash away.

[Q] Trouble getting back to stock on German One m8

Hello xda-Community!
First off, I have posted this a couple of weeks ago in the general help thread, however it quickly got swarmed and lost, so I wanted to try again.
I have run into some trouble with my O2 HTC One M8. First, my readout from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
I have been running CM11 for some months and am pretty happy with it, but I want to upgrade to Lollipop. However, the phone won't let me do that, as hboot is only version 3.16.0.0000 and Lollipop needs 3.19 (apparently). The version_main is empty for some reason, I did not erase that part.
But now comes the kicker: To upgrade hboot, I need to return to stock (or set the CID to SuperCID), right?
Now, I cannot return to stock, because there is no RUU / nandroid backup for my CID (O2___102).
As I don't have S-OFF, I cannot install any other RUU. To get S-OFF with SunShine, I need to be on stock though, because right now I get the following error message: "Your device has a debuggable ramdisk (ro.debuggable=1). You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img, stock would be best."
So basically: I need to get back to stock to go back to stock, or am I reading this wrong?
Is there a way out of this?
In the general help thread, someone said I should flash a ROM close to stock (he/she suggested Maximus HD) for this to go away, but I cannot flash any ROM besides the CM11 one I am already on, as none of the other ROMs allow me to boot - I simply get stuck during boot-up and have to reflash CM11 to use the phone.
The recovery I am using is TWRP 2.7.0.2 if that information is necessary or helpful.
Thanks in advance for anybody who can help me.

Have you try stock nandroid backup 1.54.206.5 or 1.12.206.17 from this thread ?

Well god damn it. I had tried those but apparently, they got corrupted in the download. Just tried again (from my laptop) and it worked marvellously. Thank you for your reply!

HTC One M8 - Having trouble updating to 6.0

Hi guys,
I have tried what seems like 10+ ROMS, I have flashed them using TWRP and the closest I have gotten to 6.0 was being stuck on the new google logo screen.

I would be really grateful if someone could please point me in the right direction.

I am now open to the idea of taking it back to stock, except I'm not sure how to do that either

You need to update your firmware, and a ROM won't do that for you.
Download this firmware and place it into your fastboot folder. Then hook up your phone to your PC, and enter these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M8_6.12.1540.4_DevEd_NoWipe_TWRP3001.zip
The flash will halt at 75% to 90%. That's normal and gives you a chance to check the console output to make sure that it's safe to reboot. With most errors it is. If you get error 90, re-run the zip with the same "fastboot flash zip" command as above. Same goes for error 152.
After you've checked your console, enter fastboot reboot-bootloader to complete the firmware flash

Downloading it right now to try,
Once I update the firmware, is there a specific ROM that is tailored to my phone?
Also is my phone considered "Developer Edition"?
Thank you so much for the reply, I have spent hours on this and it seems I may be nearing the end.

Yes, your MID and firmware are DevEd.
As far as ROMs go, anything in the general M8 development forum (not in the Sprint or Verizon forums) should work for you

Thanks for all your advice, unfortunately no other ROM aside from Cyanogenmod will work.
I have updated the firmware and tried the HD ROM, Skydragon ROM, GPE ROM.. they all say installed but none will boot.
Edit: I had made a stock recovery from a long time ago and when I recover and try to do the OTA update the phone restarts and takes me to TWRP Recovery.

Device stuck in fastboot

Hey guys
like described in the thread title, i need a little help here, i got a HTC one M8, thats stock in fastboot.
it will not bootup to anything else than fastboot and RUU. no custom recovery is working or any rom.
i have read multiple threads by now and look 3 days and i can't find the right RUU for the device at all.
If someone could point me in the right direction here i would be grateful
here the getvar:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
(bootloader) mfg-name: 0001
and ofc. a screenshot of the bootloader
for the steps to do here:
since device is S-ON, i need to relock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock
using the HTC_fastboot.exe with command prompt to get the device into RUU mode and after that flashing the correct RUU for it, after renaming the .zip itself to RUU.zip, right?
or is there any other way to get the device back to stock or at least a custom recovery / root whatever to set the device S-OFF?
i know the topic was here multiple times, but since device isn't mine and i really don't know what exactly was done before with it, i need a helping hand here.
any fitting android version, 5.0.1 or 6.0 would be fine, since the device will get root and later on S-OFF and a custom recovery and another nougat based android version.
as long as i can boot up with root, i would appreciate every help here.
Cheers
Mike

1. This device is not M8 but M8s.
2. There is no way to S-Off this device currently. Not supported by Sunshine.
3. There is no Nougat rom for M8s, only Marshmallow as current latest.
4. You shouldn't relock bootloader before you have a correct RUU in hand.
5. I know a lower RUU version is available for free but won't work on your device due to S-On
6. No same version but higher version 2.11.161.1 is available but will cost money
7. If you can unlock bootloader then you can restore 1.11.161.10 twrp backup and then OTA to current version 1.21.161.1 and OTA up to the latest.
