Possibly bricked HTC One M8

Ok,
Was installing the viper rom on my M8, and for some reason, now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Obviously the install went pear shaped. But now I cant even boot the phone into recovery mode.
Boot sequence now is: Google lettering appears on screen, followed by green android with the blue spinning shape in its chest, then the green android with the red triangle and black exclamation mark appears and the whole thing loops again.
When plugged into the PC its not recognized so I cant use adb to boot into recovery or try load another rom/wipe cache etc.
I've tried all combinations of power button & volume up/down to break the boot sequence, no joy.
Any ideas how to resolve, or do I have a very expensive paper-weight?

Cheers,

I had a quick google and found this:

Did you try power, volume up and volume down for 90 seconds?

Also from here:

If the screen 'hangs' press power button + volume up, wait for the screen to turn black and press volume down. That should get you into your bootloader!

Yup that worked, crisis averted!

Many thanks,
