[Q] S-OFF M8 GPE stuck on boot screen - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running a stock GPE 5.1 ROM on my S-OFF M8 for a while now and it just restarted itself out of the blue yesterday. Since then, it's just been stuck on the Google boot screen. I have TWRP so here is what I have tried:
1. Flashing the GPE ROM again: Flashes fine in TWRP but still stuck at boot screen.
2. Flashing another GPE-based ROM (SkyDragon). Goes through AROMA installer but same result.
3. RUUReboot and reflashing the GPE RUU. Boot screen again.
At this point, I'm not sure what went wrong or what else I can do.

I'm no expert by any means but I'd say try returning to stock. Also do you do a full format? Maybe your internal memory needs a wipe too.

Bootloop on normal boot and Recovery crashes..

I was playing with the Voltage settings of my rom, then I must have undervolted it too much and the top notification bar vanished and the rom froze.
So I rebooted it and it got stuck at the T-mobile ring thing. Then I rebooted again after 10 minutes of waiting and it got stuck in the MildWild boot up and keeps bootlooping.
I think went into recovery and 4EXT Touch recovery freezes at "Configuring settings.."
Is my desire completely bricked? Is there any way to fix this?
Please help me.
My HTC Desire is S-OFF with CM7r2 HBOOT.
Booting to fastboot? Power and back button?

Once done, use the new recovery and do whatever you want with it. Assuming you're s off.

[Q] Recovery bugged after complete revert to stock

I've been running venom viperx roms for some months. Today I wanted to upgrade from a 3.3 version to 3.4 but to my dismay I found that my recovery no longer worked. If I select the recovery option from the bootloader, I get sent to a black screen where ADB works but nothing I do seems to impact what is seen on the screen. I tried some things like fastboot clear cache, reflashed CWM, tried TWRP but no dice. Then I relocked, reverted back to stock using a RUU, unlocked again and flash CWM again.. Only to still be greeted by nothing but a black screen when entering recovery. I'm not sure what to try next, but what I do know is that I currently seem stuck at a stock ROM and this will not stand
Any advice?
I didn't think it'd be related, but once I started to search for "black recovery after screen replacement" I found a this thread with a link to this recovery which got me back on track.

[Q] Fix Bricked (???) Inspire 4G Stuck on black screen after htc logo

Hey guys, so I am a bit of a n00b with HTC devices, I just got my HTC Inspire, I rooted, installed CWM with glevitans tool (with S-ON) and I attempted to install the Viper ROM. I put the zip in my sd, I fastbooted the boot.img after wipeing cache etc. and then I installed the ROM. Device gets past the HTC logo but it ends up in a black screen (no boot logo no nothing). I thought that I failed, so to make the device usable for a while until a next attempt, I booted into recovery and restored my previous NANDroid backup with the stock ROM. Still goes pass the HTC Logo but black screen again, I am going crazy! IDK what to do please help! Phone's new but no warranty!
You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot after installing the rom and not before installing the rom.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
if you choose full wipe in Aroma then boot partition is formated, so you have to flash boot.img again
when you restore a backup the boot is not restored(the same way as you can not flash boot from recovery, you can not restore it. s-off needed)
Issue solved, IDK, it has to be something with my device, I tried a few Sense roms on my device (flashed rom, then flashed boot.img) and all failed with a black screen. Then I downloaded an AOSP ROM (Revolution) and the phone booted right away. I prefer AOSP from Sense (it's much lighter). Anyways thanks guys, you both earned your thanks!

[Q] ViperOne won't boot

I've got the AT&T HTC One M8. Bootloader unlocked, rooted, S-off, TWRP recovery.
I'm trying to flash ViperOne M8 and done just about everything I can think of but without any luck. It completes install, but upon reboot, just shows the white screen with HTC logo and red text, and then reboots. At that point, I'm able to use ADB to get into recovery but can't boot into ROM.
I've been trying ViperOne 1.6.0, and currently downloading an older version to see if that'll work.
I tried Android Revolution HD and InsertCoin. Both worked fine, so I know I'm able to flash custom ROMs just fine, but not ViperOne. Any ideas?
Tried flashing .img with fastboot and .zip with TWRP, both cause boot loop.

Start from the first release and do the OTA Updates up to 1.6.0.

stuck at twrp recovery / recovery only starts for a split second

I've been trying to root my HTC m8 and everything was going perfect until I went to load the twrp recovery in order to access supersu. I followed a youtube guide and everything was fine, but now whenever I try to load recovery, it will either say loading recovery and then go into my stock OS, or it will be stuck at the recovery screen and I'll have to power down the phone.
Is it because the twrp recoveries I'm using don't work well with my hboot? I'm completely new to this stuff so I have no idea what the problem could be. My HTC is from At&t and my Hboot is 1.61 and I've used twrp recoveries 2.8.7.0 through 2.8.4.0 and none have worked. I've also used 2.7.0.2 and the philz_touch_6.26.6 with same results.
I've erased the cache after every flash recovery, and rebooted the bootloader before I recover again. If I'm overlooking anything or doing something dumb please inform me! I have no clue what to do now...
Are you sure it's a HTC M8 ? hboot 1.61 is a HTC M7
