Hi all, I'm a really novice rooter with the HTC One M7 for Verizon.

I know I'm S-Off with HBOOT 1.56,
and all of a sudden my phone just automatically boots into CWM Recovery.

I've tried loading old recoveries, old zip files, and the response is always
"Can't mount sdcard."

Again, although I'm rooted, I'm pretty much a novice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hoping I didnt' lose this phone.

Bricking your phone is near impossible nowadays. I wouldn't fret too much.

Are you sure that you're flashing ROMs and recoveries meant for the m7vzw (HTC One for Verizon) and not just the regular m7 (normal HTC One)?

If you're sure that you're flashing for m7zw, have you tried flashing a new recovery through fastboot? i.e.

Code:

fastboot flash recovery newrecoveryname.img

I would ruu. Then set up your favorite recovery and Rom. Start fresh. It will wipe everything so back up your files.

I'm running CWM recovery, which says that I can't mount the SD Card.
I then tried what you suggested, installed twrp recovery, and now I'm stuck in a reboot loop with the htc screen.

I'm not sure what to do now.

Have you tried RUUing like what Brymaster suggested?

After installing twrp did you flash a Rom. Because if there is no Rom loaded it will just bootloop

I'm trying to flash a rom but can't get adb to recognize my phone in sideload mode. Feeling really stuck at this point

You have a otg cable to put a Rom on a stick then flash that way. So no Rom on your phone at all?
