HTC One M8 Softbricked and Unable to Flash

Hi, A friend gave me a Verizon HTC One M8 that was softbricked by a failed attempt to root or modify the device. I am unable to find out what the original owner did to the phone.

The phone will get stuck on the HTC logo for approximately two minutes and then reboot. I can get into the bootloader no problem, but the recovery and the factory wipe options go to the HTC logo and then get stuck at a black screen with the backlight on for approximately two minutes before rebooting. The command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" goes to the same HTC logo for approximately two minutes before rebooting, fastboot is unable to see the phone in this mode.

Because the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked because it is a Verizon, and the phone is S-ON, I am unsure how to fix the phone.

I have attempted to use RUU from a microsd card numerous times with the RUU images from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...605-2-t2883845. the 4.4.4 one appears to complete successfully, but still bootloops after restarting.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Softbricked my AT&T Active trying to go from 4.4.2 rooted to 5.0.1 rooted.

I tried to update my old phone from 4.4.2 rooted to 5.0.1 and keep the root by having my cousin do it for me. Unfortunately, he used the guide on here for the normal S4 instead of the S4 Active, leaving me with a phone that says "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" and "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL" in the corner. Google searches are fruitless. I have tried using this method, but upon starting ODIN I get this fail message and the following:

Phone soft-bricked (I think??)

Hello all,

I want to preface everything that while I know a bit about rooting and messing with the stock status of android phones, I'm still generally a newbie at this.

Last night I started experiencing problems with my phone. I was using it normally until it ran out of battery while in a call, but I figured this happened in the past so it shouldn't be a problem. I plugged it in, however it wouldn't boot up. The CM11.2 loading screen just wouldn't stop spinning. Booting into recovery and download mode was working fine, but I couldn't get into the OS. Since I wanted for a long time to upgrade my Jellybean to Lollipop (and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...uilds-t3147661 just last night), I decided it's time.

I boot into recovery and try and backup my data, but as soon as I click, the device freezes. Fast forward 5 attempts later with 3 different SD cards, it would still do the same thing. Already annoyed, I decide just to factory reset/wipe data, in order to flash the new Nightly and Gapps. As soon as I click, same thing happens, the CWM freezes and I have to manually reboot.

I figured the CWM is corrupt and I started searching on forums what to do. Tried flashing a new CWM with Odin (specifically this) but now I can't boot into recovery anymore, only download mode. I'm scared of doing more on my own. The current state of the phone is that it stays frozen at the "Samsung Galaxy S2" screen, the one with the yellow triangle w/ "!". Could you please help?
