Boot into fastboot (volume down and power) plug in lead.
In command prompt, navigate to adb folder and type: fastboot erase cache
If this doesn't work then more information as to what you have done will be needed before I can help you.
First, punctuation.

i tried that but no luck, (and what imformation do you need) what i did was i used Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X but i done a stupid mistake instead of flashing Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_6.0.0 after the first thing i did .i rebooted the phone then i lost i cwm and couldnt access it and just stuck on the boot load menu and i cant even do factory reset even from their,
if you need more imfo plz ask cause am so scared lol
Erasing the Dalvik has absolutley no bearing at all on accessing CWM, that wont be the cause of the problem, as suggested you need to boot to fastboot, from there relock ya boot if you unlocked it and run the correct RUU for your phone which will rewrite recovery and everything back to stock.
Make sure in future, especially if flashing custom roms you research the instructions first, failure to do so is what leads to trouble and youre in the best place to get help, Xda community is the best.

(glad to hear that) am not very familiar with the technical jargon, if its not a burden could write a step by step guide on how I can do that please
Don't panic its not a brick.
Hold power 7 seconds to restart phone, when off hold vol down to enter HBOOT.
Once in HBOOT press power to enter fastboot.
First try 'fastboot erase cache' and then 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' this should do the job, if this don't work, reboot into fastboot and try below.
On your pc open cmd and change directory to where your adb and fastboot are. Once there use 'fastboot oem lock' your bootloader should now say Relocked I think.
After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.
After done you may need unlock bootloader again, I did via HTCDEV and then reflashed recovery with 'fastboot flash recovery *recovery name*
Job done, phone restored, panic over

ok i will follow what said(as for unlocking the bootloader would i have to go through htc dev all over again
Not if you still have the bin file they sent you. Just push it bk to the phone as b4

First, you need to download the rom from htc, find your version in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
then ejecute it, and go to this folder: %temp%, find a folder that contains a ROM.ZIP file, inside you will find boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img.
Now do this:
-fastboot erase cache
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
-fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
-fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
-fastboot reboot-bootloader
-fastboot oem lock
then go to FASTBOOT SCREEN and run the downloaded RUU.
sorry, what file you talking bout.

O2 means an operador or it is your CID? If 02 its your cid you can try the lastest 1.29.401.11 RUU.

Boot to bootloader, enter fastboot mode, use
Fastboot OEM readcid
in cmd window from your fastboot folder. It will show your CID then. Post this here and it might help to determine/find the matching RUU
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
ye my network operator is 02 have tried download the RUU its say "Sorry, the server hosting the file you are requesting is currently down for maintenance. Please check back soon" so i will try later, and i have done what you said on the cmd but just gives other options it does not give me the cid directly.
O2 RUU : RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed.exe

(as for stock software it wasnt the one told you when i got it,i updated using my phone via ota)
I have been trying to root my Desire HD for more than a month and tried a s.hitload of tutorials.
So..
-Visionary+ doesn't work,
-AAHK retired.
-HTCDEV Bootloader tutorial doesn't work,
Having the correct RUU and the computer's still abso****inlutely sure the 3.12.405.1 RUU is not for 3.12.405.1 [ERROR 130: Model ID]
-Superoneclick hangs and stops responding and there's nothing in f.ucktopia I can do about it,
Is there still a way to root this phone?
And if so, why is it such an earth-shattering, ball-crushing mindfuc.k of a secret, that I can't find it anywhere.
Phone: Desire HD
Version: Gingerbread 2.3.5
3.12.405.1

Sorry for the ignorance, but where exactly do I type it in?
Fast boot is that white screen with the android logo and the colored options, right? there isn't any field to type anything in.

I still haven't done that but I think I'm onto something -
My HBOOT version is 2.00.0027 and a few sources/tutorial sites say it's incompatible with HTCDev, well I think this might be the problem if it's true.
And if it is, how can I update it?

Put the folder it contains to the root of your primary hard drive. Eg. C:\EasyAceRootTool and run command prompt as admin, type in "cd EasyAceRootTool" and it should be able to listen to commands now.

into a panic situation right now cant use my phone please help guys
i am having recovery TWRP 2.7.0.0
Cant you just restore a backup or flash another rom? What is android revolution hd based on, jb, kk? Make sure your firmware matches the base of your rom. So if you flash a rom based on jb also flash jb firmware, if your on a kk rom, flash the kk firmware.
Also you say you have twrp 2.7.0.0? That is not a valid version for the verizon htc one.

sorry i just heard a lot about this ROM and made up my mind to use it permanently, but after flashing when i got the problem, I searched for it everywhere and found that it does not provide support for Verizon HTC one....feeling like a buge dumbbo right now as i didn't do a backup.
Can you please suggest me a good custom rom for verizon HTC One and/or also any way to return to the stock firmware?
what is the valid version of TWRP for Verizon HTC One?
Well there are tons of good roms in the develompent and original development threads. I my self prefer to just use rooted stock.
The latest twrp is 2.6.3.4 http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7vzw.img
If you wanted to you could do an ruu to get back to the stock firmware. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/
There is a 2.7.0.1. Also try ViperOne ROM.

I've been doing this since 8am EST lol this is why I came to my forum. And my USB 3.0 is broke so I couldn't use it if I wanted too, I'm also running AMD not Intel so most of the fixes I see are for Intel or require USB 3.0 :/
All, I have an Unlocked, S-Off, Rooted HTC One M8 w/ Verizon that I was running Cyanogenmod 12.1, their latest snapshot.
Today the screen was black w/ the notification light blinking as I had a message. I couldn't get the screen to come on. I held in power + volume up until the phone rebooted. It rebooted to the boot loader. I told it to reboot & when it did the HTC splash screen didnt have the normal warnings that I'm used to seeing; warning something about developer options maybe; I can't remember. Anyways it just keeps booting to the bootloader & when I try to boot to recovery; it just reboots back into the bootloader. I've tried to flash to the lastest version of twrp via ADB on my pc, the flash is successful; but doesn't work when i try.
I've also ran...
fastboot erase cache
as i found that suggestion online.
Nothing is working for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks, I will give this a try. Since it will take me back to stock, will I have to root again before installing TWRP & custom ROM?

No luck. Even though I can run fastboot commands, the RUU exe package reboots the phone, then eventually fails at waiting for bootloader, even though the bootloader is ready. I get error 171 USB Connection Error, from the RUU exe on my pc.
Thoughts?

Found an SD card that would fit & am now trying option 1 of the RUU.
Fingers crossed, updating just completed successful. Two steps were bypassed. Step 8, SBL1 (8) & Step 13 TP.
No change... Dang
Still same loop, boots to bootloader, selecting recovery reboots to bootloader.
Am I missing something?

I guessing you have used this cp before for commands or flashing on m8.
What OS on cp?
Using USB2 port, not USB3?
HTC drivers installed?
ADB commands recognize m8?

Also remember I had a problem with one, had to download and flash the L hboot from sdcard 1st then run RUU from pc.
Run L hboot the same way as option2.
Option2 did not work for me.

This is the first time for me using a computer to flash my m8 or any other phone. I've always rooted, unlocked bootloader & then used TWRP.
OS on pc is Windows 7.
USB 2
HTC Drivers are installed
Im not sure is ADB commands work. I can get the Fastboot commands to work.
Nothing is listed after I run ADB Devices
I do get a device when I run fastboot devices.
The L hboot is an image, did you mean to say run it the same way as option 1?

Ok, so i ran the L hboot by renaming it & putting on an SD card, option 1. That worked fine.
Powered off.
Ran the RUU by renaming it & putting on an SD card, option 1. That worked and had the same two bypasses as before.
Rebooted & pulled out the SD card, but sadly; same results.
I think Im going to bed, its late here on the East Coast.
I'll check back in the morning. Thank you for your continuing help.

Sorry it did not work for you, maybe try the L hboot again & run RUU from pc.
If that does not work I'm out of ideas, maybe someone else could give some suggestions.

Still up, wanted to give you time to respond.
I can't get the RUU update to run from pc, so it looks like this could be a dead end for me. Thank you again for trying.
I hate to get a new phone, none of the new Verizon phones can be rooted or an unlocked bootloader.
Can't get the new Nexus phones as we purchase directly through Verizon & not Google. (this is my company phone & HAS to be purchased through Verizon)
I'll retrace some steps in the morning.

Looked back at the error you were getting trying to flash ruu with pc.
I'm not going to try to tell you to do the sdcard method because that did not work for me.
Here is a link that worked for some, even though this is not for the htc m8.
Think you may need to uninstall htc manager & clean with cc cleaner & reinstall.
Also try re downloading ruu incase it got corrupt.

Same results from another pc (which had previously installed HTC drivers) I am now trying the suggestions from the last link you provided w/ uninstalling HTC software/drivers & running cc cleaner program.

Don't forget to uninstall htc sync before doing anything with ruu, it may interfere, the drivers remain behind.
What about the usb cable you are using, is it a data cable that came with m8 or spare that mainly used for charging.

Still not working.
Followed all the instructions, re-downloaded the RUU. I've uninstalled the HTC sync & drivers; ran cc cleaner, rebooted, reinstalled HTC snyc & drivers.
I've even tried this on two different Windows 7 pc's. One I left the HTC Sync on, the other I uninstalled & just left the HTC drivers behind. (as one person suggested)
Should the RUU installer app say updated to version & then it instead of a version it list odd characters that I dont even know how to type on a keyboard?
I think I've got my first true brick.

Using a different cable, I get the same problem.
I dont think its the cable, because the RUU can read the current version of firmware thats on the phone, then issues the phone to reboot. Then the RUU app just sits & says waiting for bootloader.

Hi All,
Really struggling to find info for the bootloop issue on stock HTC one M8 loads for rooted etc
so my phone randomly restarted and then got stuck in a boot loop. i couldn't do anything i managed to get into Fastboot after waiting for the battery to die completely. got into Fastboot and factory reset. but no change.
The fix seems to be to flash RUU onto it but i cannot find any info on how to do it on a un-rooted HTC One M8.
Any suggestions/guidance?
also forgot to add if i choose Recovery from fastboot screen i just get a image of a HTC phone on the screen with a red triangle and ! inside.

RUU works fine on unrooted phones. Its an official HTC tool designed to be used on stock devices. You just connect the phone to a PC, boot into fastboot mode, and run the RUU executable on the PC, and the executable will do the rest.
This is provided you use the correct RUU for your specific device version (and not all versions have RUUs).
If you want more help on identifying the right RUU (if there is one) we'll need more info about your phone. In fastboot mode, open command prompt on computer, and do command fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number).

That is the stock recovery. If you press vol up and power, it will show you the recovery menu. But there is not much you can do with it, that will help your current condition, aside from trying a factory reset.

Fair enough. To further elaborate on my experience.
I have the HTC One M8 Google Play Edition (Unlocked).
-Downloaded the RUU (version 6.12.1540.4) and HTC Sync Manager from HTC.
-Put device into FASTBOOT mode
-Connected device via USB with HTC Sync Manager open (Showed device was loaded with OS-5.07.1700.11)
-Ran the RUU. Phone displayed HTC logo
-RUU attempted to execute
-ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR -- The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
-Felt confident I had the correct RUU. Proceeded with the Recover button. No success there.
-For confirmation, I know my phone is GSM so I also tried the RUU for AT&T and T-mobile. Again, same error result.
-Device maintains HTC logo on screen.
-After unplug of USB connection, device displays
