Root Stuck at fastboot

So, tried flashing this twice now. Both times it put me into what really looks like a hard brick.

Rebooted into bootloader, then went to fastboot. Used that to flash the recovery linked to above. Rebooted into recovery, wiped, and flashed the file... everything went black.

Somehow by mashing buttons and plugging and unplugging my phone into a computer and charget I manage to get a charge light. From there I can reboot into fastboot.

Tried flashing the recovery, no problem. Tried flashing the ROM, everything goes black again.

ADB doesn't see my phone, neither does fastboot. Now I'm stuck trying to get my phone to start again.

Any thoughts on why these problems? Next time my phone comes up (fingers crossed) I think I'll go back to Meanbean.

I did run MD5's on all three files.

Yes sir. S-off from day one. Firmware up to date, and all that jazz.

S-off, current firmware.

Wiped everything from TWRP (except for the external SD) to flash the new CM. Rebooted to fastboot to flash the TWRP they suggested. Flashed it ok, rebooted and nothing.

By mashing buttons I can sometimes get the phone to boot. It'll stick at the splash, then I reboot to the bootloader. Fastboot flashed the TWRP i had been using successfully again. Reboot bootloader, choose recovery and boom, black screen.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I forget how RUUs work (or more like I don't know).

Don't we need to know stuff about the current revision to use the right RUU??
