HTC One M8 stuck in bootloop - please help!

Hi all, looking for some much needed help.

I bought this phone (2nd hand) for my daughter but after working for a few days the battery died. I plugged in the charger and, once charged, switched it on but upon powering up, it appears to get stuck in a loop between starting Android and then optimizing 166 apps(!) before repeating the process again and again until the battery runs out.

I messed about with the hard reset and recovery options and it came to life (i.e. started as i would expect and went through initial setup steps, etc) but its happened again and i cannot for the life of me recall what i did to resolve it first time around!

I have read as much as i can about this iss online but a lot of the solutions detailed talk of options or steps that i don't seem able to do. I'm tearing my hair out here.

Is there a fix for this? Whats actually wrong with the phone? Is it the software thats screwed up? Is there anyway to put a "clean" version of the software on the phone via my PC? I'm pretty much ready to try anything top get this going :(

If someone is willing to help, just let me know what i need to do/provide to fix this. I've attached a read of details from the phone using the SDK tools i read on another thread. Not sure if its relevant or not.
