Read the problems thread in general. They have a lot of trouble shooting methods over there.

Having the exact same problem. I had the phone rooted and had clockwork recovery. I relocked the phone and went back to stock recovery (using an img file posted here).
I can download the 299mb file just fine, but it reboots to fast boot every time. Thought a factory reset might help, but my phone now won't even do a factory reset. Again, it just boots to fast boot.
I think I figured out the issue. I relocked before I used the all in one toolkit to flash to stock recovery. You need to be unlocked to flash stock recovery. So I had to restore the phone to an unlocked state, flash the stock recovery, and then relock it again. Now the update seems to be going through okay.

I really need help. I unlocked my bootloader through htcdev.com and I flashed clockworkmod then I installed a rooted stock rom. then I installed rom manager and it made me flash clockwork mod again to use it so I did that. Now every time I try to boot into recovery I get the htc white splash screen for about 20 seconds then the phone reboots and I get no recovery. Anyone that has any idea on how to help please do so I am really lost here.
Go into the phone settings under power and uncheck fastboot....that should help

I already had it unchecked, but I just checked it to see if anything would change and still nothing.

I would forget about using rom manager for now, just flash stuff manually in recovery. You're going to need to reflash your clockwork recovery, the one that was meant to be flashed with the htcdev.com unlock method. Also, I believe I saw someone post a TWRP that had been modified to work with the htcdev.com unlock method as well, so you could also search for that. Just download a PG86IMG.zip of the recovery you'll use, place it on your sd card, and then boot to the bootloader to flash the recovery. After that, you should be able to get back into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash a rom and start fresh.

Thank you for the help, I would hate to be a pain about it, but can you possibly point me to a walkthrough or tell me how to do that. Thus far I have only used walkthroughs on all of this stuff I am kinda shooting in the dark here.
I updated my phone to me7 and I followed a root procedure. After I used goo manager to install twrp and clicked reboot recovery but when it rebooted it went into downloading mode and won't let me boot normally! It says on the top could not do normal boot. Please help!!!
Yeah mine is doing the same thing. Not really sure what's going on, heh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
**EDIT**
Nevermind...now when I reboot it goes into the OS like normal. Thanks again, man.
You cant install a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Theres a ton of posts on this already. To get past that turn your phone off and use the button combo for booting into odin(vol down + power). Itll ask if you want to proceed or cancel, hit cancel and your phone will boot. To fix you will either need to flash a stock recovery or use odin and reflash me7.

This got me back into the phone but now I'll have to reflash the stock img via ODIN?
Anywhere I can find the stock recovery?

Hey guys, my friend decided to flash a custom rom, asked me for help, so I told him to get rom manager and install cwm first.
He was rooted already, not long after telling him. To use rom manager to get cwm, he messages me telling me he is stuck cwm, it seems that every time he turns in the phone or restarts he cannot leave cwm at all, he also claims he cannot get into download mode, keeps taking him to cwm.
I got him to and re flash cwm via cwm, but it gave him an error.
Has anyone heard of getting stuck in cwm before??

Get your friend to read the stickies in general, before he flashes anything else and destroys his phone.
Follow the guide to restoring to fully stock using odin on his pc, it might enable the phone to boot normally.

Hey guys just got a new Verizon S4 that has the bootloader unlocked. The guy I bought it from had CM 10.1 installed. I was wanting to go to the google edition rom or a TW rom. I flashed the google edition rom and it booted fine the first boot. Second boot, it got hung on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen. I have wiped caches, reflashed different roms and now everytime I try to boot the phone, it hangs at the same screen. I have no idea what to do. I know I can odin back to stock but I don't want to lose my root and unlocked bootloader (I am assuming I will?) Help?
Did you full wipe? Not just cache. You have to do a full wipe, system and everything. Basically factory reset.
If that doesn't work, you can flash back to stock and re root it, it's really easy.

I did a factory reset. If I flash back to stock I will lose my unlocked bootloarder correct?
I tried flashing another recovery and now I cant even get into recovery. I get the following in red at the top "secure fail: kernel" Then I get a yellow triangle below that that says "system software not authorized by verizon has been found on your phone, yada yada" Am I screwed? I tried flashing cwm advanced edition
I dont think u'll lock the bootloader as long as u dont take the me7 update... factory reset then reroot right after....

You can't flash a new recovery from inside the GPE port. Since you got the triangle of doom I'm guessing that's what you did. You need to ODIN back to the MDK stock Tar file. I don't know who has it but the download link is on here. Then you need to reroot using the MDK root method, which requires you to download the MD2 bootloader tar file and the MDK boatloader tar file and the motochopper root exploit tool. After you have root, update the binaries. Then power off and reflash back to the MDK (using the .tar file) Once back in MDK you can download a new custom recovery. TWRP or CWM. Boot into recovery and make a full nandroid backup. This way if crap hits the fans again you can reflash your backup. After your backup is done. Download the GPE zip file (I usually put it in my microsd card) then boot back into recovery and reflash the GPE ROM.
Important things to remember.
1.) Don't install the ME7 tar file in ODIN when reflashing
2.) Don't accept the update that OTA
3.) Don't reflash from inside the GPE ported ROM
4.) Don't forget to update the Root binaries from google play after installation
So the old ROM I was on (a super outdated Android Revolution) needed to be updated because my battery was draining a lot and I figured I would update everything. Apparently I flashed a bad or wrong version of TWRP, so I can't get into recovery. It just sits there trying to get into recovery but it keeps failing. Then I tried using MultiRom recovery and installing that through the app in the play store. Now my phone won't go into recovery and just boot loops. I can get into the HBOOT menu but I can't get into recovery or boot the device at all. Does anyone have any ideas to get a working recovery or working ROM? I already backed up my pictures and videos and stuff, but I forgot to transfer my titaniumbackup files I've been trying to look around and see how to fix it but I don't want to do something that will cause more damage than I've already done. I did all this to update my firmware so that I can use the newer ROMs. Anyway if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance.

Agreed, although I would recommend fastboot erase cache, then fastboot flash the current version TWRP, from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Don't worry, you aren't bricked. Worst case scenario, you relock the bootloader and RUU to stock (which will also update your firmware). Although you may lose the Titanium files you mentioned.
