Now I'm posting this because my issue isn't like the ones I'm seeing here. I've done absolutely nothing to my device as far as tweaking goes, the device isn't even rooted. Randomly on a drive when I pulled up my map for directions, my phone's audio began skipping, the phone froze, & then crashed. Now I can't get past boot.
When I try to get into recovery mode via Fastboot, it just goes to a black screen.
I've allowed the device to die fully & then charge, but no dice. The status of the battery is showing as OK. My PC will not recognize the device in Fastboot either.
Any advice?

so, i have read just about everything i can on these forums, and have tried everything. I want to say i rooted the fire, with burrito root3, and installed fff recovery. It was all working fine, then i added golauncher, and it worked amazing. I went on vacvation, tried to hook up to wifi to watch a movie on netflix, then it turned off and went into a boot loop where the fff logo came on for 5 seconds or so then it would turn off. I tried everything i could that i read on these forums, and still not loading. I have it stuck in "fastboot" now i suppose, where the yelow firefirefire logo is just there, the only good thing with this that i have noticed, that since it stays on, the computer sees the device, but that is where i am at, i would be happy with getting back to the oem os.
So recently, my phone has started acting up. Sometimes, the phone would overheat, lag, and freeze. Usually, a quick boot into the bootloader via physical buttons would fix the problem.
However, as I tried to boot into the bootloader, my phone just stayed at a black screen throughout. I found that odd, and connected to my laptop running Ubuntu, opened up a Terminal window, and tried adb devices. Oddly, the device wasn't there. (fastboot showed nothing, as well) However, a bunch of windows labeling different volumes opened as I plugged into the phone. Normally, the phone would only load up the SD Card and External Storage. Charging it doesn't show its amber light.
I currently have a Verizon HTC One (M8) bootloader unlocked and S-OFF'd.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: The battery died and phone started to boot up normally. Still confused on why it showed up 30+ volumes, though.
So, yesterday I decided to reboot my phone since it was very sluggish for whatever reason. I think it shut down properly but when it came back on, there was a very interesting problem that had come up - it didn't boot any further than the logo screen, which didn't even play its standard animation; it just stood there with the LED on the home button changing colors (like normal). I left it on overnight hoping the problem would be gone, but to no avail. It still hadn't booted when I woke up. If it matters, the only thing I can boot to is download mode. It doesn't let me get to safe mode or however it's called (the menu you navigate with volume up/down and the power button). Needless to say, I was very puzzled. Then I went on and tried to flash the latest kdz since I thought that would fix the problem. I hoped that would easily fix the problem. But no, it decided to be funny and give me more headache. I tried using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409308 but after step 20 the LG Mobile Support Tool crashes and I can't continue. Sure thing, I will try the Upgrade Recovery that the tool has built in. It properly detects my phone, the software download and extraction goes smoothly. Then I reach the S/W Upgrade part of the process. The few first seconds everything is fine, but then the bar reaches 5% and just stops. Just like that. Now it's been 8 hours since I began the recovery and no progress has been made.
Can anybody help me? I'm lost here...

Good luck!
Thread closed.
Used Windroid Universal Android Toolkit to unlock bootloader and flash twrp. All went fine.
Then I tried to gain root by flashing supersu, also with the same toolkit.
Then I got a android figure with a warning sign.
Can't remember exactly what happened then, but after that I can't power on, screen stays black whatever I do.
Charging I going fine though, charging led is green.
My desktop recognizes when the tablet is connected with usb, but I can't login with the toolkit.
Any idea what I could do or is the diagnosis: bircked?
Can you get into the bootloder? If so you are not bricked you can reflash the firmware
No, I'm not able to get into the bootloader, screen stays black, whatever I try.
Some change now.
While charging the battery, don't know how it became empty, the display shows a charging battery...
Wait till the battery is full, and then try some things again.
So happy! My problem is solved.
Here is what I did what resulted in my problem solving.
First I opened the back panel to see if the battery was all right.
After that my battery was empty, and I started loading my battery with the Nvidia adapter.
The screen showed a loading battery figure. After that I was able to boot into android as well as in the bootloader.
Hi!
Very weird situation. Before that everything was stock and OK (no custom ROM or anything).
- If the phone is unplugged, nothing works at all (key combinations,...)
- The battery is charged, at some point, when totally off, it showed the battery charging, 60% at least. But have not been able to go back into this mode.
- When connected, it starts booting, but keeps rebooting very fast (1-2 s after Samsung splash screen).
- Unable to boot into Recovery mode (UP+HOME+PWR, for wiping cache,...). Just does nothing, howerver long I wait
- Unable to boot "directly" into Maintenance Mode (all buttons), more on that later
- Can boot into Download (ODIN) mode (DOWN+HOME+PWR) very easily. I was able to flash stock ROM, but nothing changed.
- From ODIN mode I can boot into Maintenance mode (all buttons). I can navigate the menu, but any choice, even Factory Reset, gets me directly back to the reboot loop...
As I can not even turn it off, I cannot drain the battery (at least not quick). As soon as I disconnect the cable it goes dark (whatever mode I am in).
Anything I missed that I could try before throwing the phone?
Thanks!
SOLVED
Just to leave a trace on what happened:
- Left the phone alone, un plugged, for 8-10 hours.
- Just to see, tried to reboot it normally,
- It booted on a blue/cyan display, with "installing updates".
- At one point before I had that screen, but after 10 seconds it rebooted into the loop cycle. And after playing with the recovery reboots, I had never managed to get this special boot again.
- This time it stayed on "installing updates" for 1-2 mn, then rebooted, and Voilà!!!
So apart from my magic touch of doing nothing, don't really know what happened... So much for the recovery recipe!
A fairly similar thing happened to my girlfriend's g920v yesterday. We haven't been that lucky that it got fixed.
The situation is slightly different though, it boots for about 3 seconds, makes the low battery sound, battery indicator says 0%, then shuts back down.
Tried flashing stock in odin a few times, a few factory resets, nothing.
It seems like an OTA update failed and now the stupid locked bootloader won't let me or the or OS fix it.
Sorry you were not as lucky... But as you said the problem seems a little bit different, as I never had an empty battery warning. I agree though that it looks as a bad update stuck somewhere.

There's got to be some connection of some sort, yours is the 4th post I've seen here or on Reddit this month about bootloops probably related to updates
