Looks like my m8 is soft bricked. Everything was fine, rooted, romd, s-off all went smooth. Then I installed xposed and my phone refuses to boot, even when i try to put it into recovery it bugs out and turns off. I suspect an Ruu could fix but we dont have one yet. As a warning to everyone, stay away from exposed for now.

Once xposed is installed, it creates a zip on your internal sd to disable xposed. Flash it.

I got stuck like this the other day...I was freaking out lol
I just started pressing every combo I could think of...I think I pressed power and both vol buttons and I was amazed it went to bootloader, I though it was bricked lol

What did you try to run with xposed? I've been using it for days, but only app settings to change dpi.

Sense 6 toolbox. Funny thing I'm noticing, it only happened once I got over 90% battery. I'm gonna see if I can get it down and if it leads anywhere

When I got stuck, i pressed power button and volume up. When the screen turned off, i pressed volume down. That put me into bootloader on the first try.

Tried that...would not work
When I was stuck the screen was already off.
Power + vol down did nothing.
Power + vol up did nothing.
Tried the bright light trick ...nothing.
At this point I thought I was bricked haha.
Only thing that worked was Power + vol up and down at the same time.

So I found out today that I can get into the bootloader....the backlight is just off when it's in the bootloader. This thing is all kinds of messed up. Good thing is now I can restore it to stock before I send it to HTC for surgery :).
