Well, after trying to install a ROM through TWRP the phone rebooted and froze on the HTC screen. I then go back into bootloader and try to get into recovery but the splash screen pops up and then the phone reboots. I can get into CWM however when trying to sideload any .zips there I get an error. Not really sure what to do at this point. I probably should have stopped playing with it when I fixed it the first time, ha.

Edit: I fixed my problems! Very happy, ended up restoring some of the firmware from the OTA's and TWRP started working again. Just flashed ROM and fully functionally.

My provider is AT&T. I used the UK OTA from this link http://db.tt/LrIEemZ4 . Its part of this thread in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422885. Basically what was happening is that I had flashed a ROM which didn't work out and so it would just hang on the white HTC screen. I figured no big deal I'll just go into recovery and flash another one I know works. That didn't work out. Any time I tried to go into recovery the TWRP splash screen would pop up for a second then the phone would reboot. Which kind of had me puzzled because I flashed ClockWorkMod for recovery and it would at least get me into recovery but still adb sideload was giving me errors so I flashed TWRP again even though it wasn't working either.. I pulled the boot.img out of the Firmware.zip in the OTA and flashed that with fastboot. At that point I had tried just about everything and was about to give up but to my surprise that seemed to fix it. I was able to go into recovery no problem. Sideloaded the ROM and everything went great. I'll probably not be messing with my phone like that for a bit haha. It was the second night in a row that I had wiped an OS off the phone and struggled to figure out how to get it working. Glad its all good now though. Good luck to you!

cant change recovery / device rebooting

Hi, i have a similar problem,

I've unlocked with htcdev everything is fine.
Then I installed Twrp-2.6.0.0.img as recovary.
I'm not able to mount the internal storage, so I had to push the ROMs via ADB.
starting a ROM 1st time seems to be ok.
restart is also ok.
shutdown and power on is rebooting every ~15sec.

I tried to change my bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7ul.img -> volume keys are responding
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7ul.img -> volume keys are NOT responding
recovery isn't starting until i run following commands:
fastboot flash recovery Twrp-2.6.0.0.img -> volume keys are responding
fastboot boot Twrp-2.6.0.0.img -> volume keys are NOT responding
but after resetting the device + entering recovery it's there

thanks for your ideas/help
