My HTC one m8 has root access. I was using twrp recovery and stock rom. I wanted to flash a custom rom (tried cyanogen and pan) but twrp never helped me in finding my zip file. Then I tried swapping my recovery from twrp to cwm but that never happened and it got stuck in bootloader mode and then I did factory reset :/. And now everytime I try going into recovery it takes me to the bootloader mode. now I am trying flashing a custom recovery but first turning s_off and I tried firewater but it doesn't work.
What should I do?
It still has root access but s_on and don't know about bootloader on/off and no recovery.

and does your device say unlocked at the top of your bootloader? if not follow this guild

if you did it via recovery you should still be ok
go to your bootloader download this twrp img here
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m8/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img on your computer (for gsm) int. att (i'm guessing this is the device carrier you have)
ensure you have fastboot tools(adb tools installed)
put the .img in your folder that contains fastboot
open a cmd in that folder on your computer and make sure you put your phone in fastboot mode via your bootloader.
then type on your computer in cmd fastboot flash recovery (name of twrp you downloaded).img
then type fastboot erase cache
you now have twrp installed to get to it now select recovery from bootloader on your phone.
when installing custom roms in twrp you need to go to advanced wipe(select data,cache,delvik cache, and system then swipe the arrow bar beneath)
then press home and press install the go to the location on the sdcard where you put the rom.zip of the custom rom and select it. instalation will begin after completion reboot(done)
