I was able to fastboot erase cache, but that wouldn’t get me out of boot loop. I searched high and low for what to do or the file to flash from fastboot but couldn’t find anything.

The only thing I think happened was that I installed the latest twrp version that was corrupted because when I would boot into recovery the “teamwin” (I think) logo for twrp would display for 5 seconds and then it would bootloop. Fortunately enough, I found the RUU.exe from HTC, did a “fastboot oem lock”, and the RUU returned it to stock/working. Do you know why my phone would show up in fastboot but not adb?

I try flashing with Odin but it fails programming the NAND. The problem may be that it also has a problem that it thinks it’s still charging after you remove the USB cable. When plugged in the chrage symbol shows, but doesn’t actually show that it is charging. This all happened when I opened a browser and it crashed, tried to reboot. All stock no root.
