Hi,

I am trying to install Lineage OS and was following this guide to the T. However, when I tried to flash the twrp image I used "fastboot flash boot twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img" and it succeeded and now i can boot to anything. I can get to the boot loader but if i select reboot, recovery, reset factory default or any other it just sends me to the bootloop. The top of my bootloader reads:

M8QL_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.0.U20410.1@60201
OS-2.20.401.1
eMMC-BOOT 2048MB
Oct 28 2016, 11:48:04.0

Thanks to anyone who can help, I've tried to many things but with no results and i can't find anyone with a similar situation to myself. If the answer is obvious or I haven't been looking enough please let me know.

I have installed: abd, fastboot, Android SDK, Java, HTC Sync
