Need help with soft-bricked M8, have made progress on my own but need help.



I have a soft-bricked HTC One M8, It happened when I was attempting to return the phone to stock android with stock kernel and stock recovery while relocking the bootloader, none of that is really important though what happened is I had a bad flash and the phone got put into a bootloader loop with no OS. It still had an Unlocked bootloader with S-Off. Once it was in a bootloader loop I was able to download a custom recovery via fastboot commands, the phone can now go into TWRP but it will only boot version 2.7.0.0 - earlier versions don't boot at all and newer versions will boot but are non-responsive/have no display.

Once in TWRP 2.7.0.0 I use push command from adb to load a stock android RUU zip into my MicroSD, I attempt to flash it via TWRP 2.7.0.0 but get a failed response. I have cleared everything and TWRP 2.7.0.0 is having trouble mounting /data/. I tried using using push command through adb to put a newer version of TWRP on my MicroSD so that TWRP could flash it but TWRP was unable to do so. Any version of Clockwork Mod has been unsuccessful to boot.

Essentially TWRP 2.7.0.0 can't flash anything or mount anything for me, I believe I need either a newer version or a different recovery, but no other recovery or twrp version seems to be able to boot correctly.

Any tips, advice, or general help would be extremely appreciated. I try to help myself before asking others and I don't know what else I can do, I have searched the forums for every relevant thread possible and tried many many things to get this to work with no success. Thank you for reading.
