[Q] HTC One m7 - Softbricked and can't seem to flash new recovery

I recently tried a factory reset on my phone after finding that one of my apps was sending out spam texts to random people and racking up my text plan. Upon the first boot, it showed a green android man with a blue orb thing spinning in its stomach and kept going for hours.



My phone was previously running an unofficial build of CM12 and was unlocked and rooted.



Now, I just figured that I could just flash a new recovery to the phone and flash a new ROM to get it back up and running, but I also keep having troubles getting it to flash. Using 'flashboot devices', I see my phone's serial, but when I try to use 'flashboot erase recovery' or 'flashboot flash recovery recovery.img' seems to hang up. I finally got it to write clockwork recovery to the phone somehow, but the device still boots to the green android man w/ blue instead of clockwork. I thought it was an issue, so I have been trying to flash TWRP, and it just hangs, and doesn't even give the <waiting for device> text, so I know it sees it.



Can anyone help me figure out a way to get my recovery flashed correctly? From that point, I should be good to go, as long as it loads into recovery.
