*HELP NEEDED* HTC One M8 Bootloop - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I tried rooting my phone following this tutorial from a youtuber named Max Lee. since I am a noob. Everything was going fine until I flashed the SuperSU (As shown in the vid). I rebooted it and it got stuck in a bootloop. I tried multiple methods to get out, but I ended up relocking the bootloader and now I can't get into recovery. Since I hit rock bottom (which is why I am making this thread lol), I just need to know if there is anyway I can resolve this issue, or I need to know if my phone is just hard bricked.

@zedomax! His tutorials are good. He also has a website for that at htconeroot.com
But here's the problem, that tutorial is over two years old, so the TWRP recovery and SuperSU app linked there are outdated and won't work with the newer firmware.
Here's what to do:
Unlock your bootloader again.
Flash the latest TWRP in fastboot that you can download from here
From there you can either flash a ROM (almost all of them come pre-rooted with SU already installed), or flash the latest stable SuperSU.zip in recovery that you can download from here.
The easiest is to just flash TWRP, then a custom ROM.
Good luck!

Watch won't bootup

So I decided to flash a new kernel and it worked fine and was an improvement. Developed connection issues thru Bluetooth so I decided to go back to stock. When following the directions to flash back to stock my watch just boots to logo then goes to a picture of

So I'm a bit lost on what to do now. I tried flashing again following the same process. Am I screwed here or is there anything I can do?
I can still boot into fastboot and use adb/fastboot etc but that's about it. Maybe I need to flash a different image? if anyone has one backed up that I can install.
Thanks!
You sure you are using the revised process? And that you are fastboot booting the recovery and not fastboot flashing it?
I was able to flash my return back to stock and relock with bootloader using the revised instructions from skin1980 and his posted files.

Yes! it's weird though haha. But worse case I can have the store replace it so not that big of a deal just wanted to see if I could work around the process and get it booted up.

One M9 Europe Bricked?

Hey, I wanted to revert my One M9 to stock but I f#cked up along the way, I did lock the bootloader before installing the stock Rom. I dont know what to do, I've been searching google for hours now and tried everything. ANy tips?
Can't go into recovery, I can't flash STOCK recovery because it's not unlocked anymore, cant flash stock rom via fastboot.
PS: The phone was 100% functional before I relocked the bootloader, but now I can't boot to Android. goes straight to Bootloader.
I Hope somebody can help! Thanks!

Phone stuck on boot screen, bootloader fails

I have my cousin's phone right here - just yesterday he tried to update to Lollipop. He was on stock TouchWiz, no root or anything of the sort and installed the update.
Now, if I try to turn on the phone, all I get is this screen and it just stays there forever:

If I try to boot into the bootloader, all I get is this: https://goo.gl/photos/WBSAcHhALQ9Jmz2n9
I really don't know what I would do here - can you do anything once your bootloader is f*ed up?
If it helps, the phone's model is SM-N7505
Yes, the same issue happened with me today on Note3 Neo. I rebooted the phone and it stuck on the same place. Checked in local phone repairing shop unable to make hard reset. They are suspecting of hardware issue. What could be the coz of this?

Try flashing the rom using odin

How would I do that without being able to access the bootloader? I haven't done much with Samsung devices yet, only with my HTC phones. I've heard of the name ODIN though... Are there any tutorials you can recommend?
You don't need bootloader to flash stock rom via Odin, you only need to access Download mode (vol. down+home+lock). You can look up tutorials on YT. Just type "How to flash stock Samsung rom using Odin". Hope that helps somehow

[Q] Stuck on Boot Animation after flashing SuperSU on ResurrectionRemix ROM

ROM: ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.1-20160715-t0lte
SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip?retrieve_file=1
Recovery: ClockWorkMod
So, I probably did something dumb and I'm stuck on the boot animation which loops forever. I can get into Recovery and Bootloader. I previously had a working install of the ROM listed above but I thought I needed to regain root (apparently it is already rooted but that was turned off or something) so I downloaded the SuperSU file to the device and rebooted into Recovery. I installed the SuperSU and rebooted but now I have the problem. Please advice. This is my first time ever using a custom ROM and I had it working fine before I did this to myself...

I suggest flashing TWRP as CWM has not been updated for a long time. Once TWRP is on the phone, perform a full system wipe and re-install a custom ROM.

Thank you for your reply!
I was unaware that CWM was so out of date; it did work well before I tried to root an already rooted ROM. But I will try TWRP in any case. Still, I was hoping to solve this issue without wiping/reinstalling everything as I have data I want to preserve. If there is no way out of this mess except that, I will use ADB to get what data I can, then reinstall.

Htc one m8s won't boot up after relocking bootloader

So my friend used a all in 1 toolkit to root his phone but failed when it came to booting into recovery to install su after that he can't boot into recovery, can't factory reset his phone and when he wants to turn his phone on after it has switched off he needs to hold down power+vol up and down as when the batterie is flat the charging icon pops up with the yellow bolt of electricity and the orange light, when this happens the phone is frozen on that screen but he can turn it on.
Just yesterday he saw a tutorial on how to relock his bootloader and start fresh so he can try again to root his phone but now his phone can't even boot it's stuck on the HTC powered by android screen with same issues as b4

That's your biggest mistake ... all in 1 toolkit
There is no such tool that would work on your M8s device.
You need different fastboot not the generic, you need different TWRP (that is made for M8s) and you need the updated SuperSU not the one provided by that old TWRP version that you have in that outdated toolkit.

Again ... you can't simply use any RUU .,.. the one for M8 won't work on M8s.
The RUU that works on your M8s is 0PKVIMG_M8_QL_UL_M60_SENSE70_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.1 _Radio_1.0.U20410.1 @ 60201_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed.zip
