So i had lost hope in reviving my phone it was boot-looped with no recovery fast-boot or adb the drivers were all messed up too. I had pretty much given up hope on it. the last thing i was going to try was a jig a jig resets the binary counters on your phone and forces it into download mode or bootloader mode. I created my own so ill explain how to do it.
1.) First things first a jig works by having 300k ohms of resistance beetween the pins of 4 and 5 of a micro usb.
Some requirements youll need are
Micro usb jack you can cut a cord apart for one
300k ohm resistor or 3 100k resistors
2.) splice the cable apart until you get your micro usb jack clean the pastic off until the pins are exposed you should see a row of three on one side and two on the other pin five is the un used one or the one on the right of the third row when its laying with the row of three on the top and the 4th pin is the right one on the row with the second row

i googled imaged some pics sorry.
3.) after identifying pin 4 and 5 solder your 300k ohm resistor or 3 100k ohm resistors in series between the two pins.
4.) After that your ready to see if it works take out your battery for 2-5 seconds then put it back in after that plug the usb jig into your phone and after a couple of seconds your phone should automatically boot into bootloader mode easily flashable with odin then !! sometimes my jig took two or three times to work i found it works best if you leave it in take the battery out for a few seconds then put it back in. My phone is currently flashing on odin ill update later with some pics goodluck everyone hope this helped someone

Could anyone tell me if the chargers shipped from the UK are compatible with both types of power outlets?
The "Clover Unboxing Video" showed that the UK 3-pin "option" is clipped over a two-pin type casing ... but from the video, I could not be sure if they could be easily interchanged.
I am in Malta (which uses the 3-pin (BS1363) config [which I prefer] MOST of the time), but I often travel to Mainland Europe where the two-pin style (Europlug -- CEE7/x?) outlets dominate.
Would much appreciate any feedback!
PS .. I lovingly and studiously linked to URLs for both the video and the socket specs, but as a noob, I was not allowed external links in my comment ... No problem - I FULLY understand the reasons for this policy!
You would need the 2-pin "clipping".
Otherwise Just use a travel adapter.
I don't think it will work with a 2pin Euro clip.
have a look at the picture:

The 3rd UK pin folds out and there doesn't seem to be an option to remove it.
I don't quite understand your question, but I think you'r wondering if the wall-socket connector on the charger is easy to switch between one or the other? If so then, yes this is just a pop-on pop-off manouver. If both types of connectors come with the box, i have no idea! Hope this helps somewhat.
Edit: Regarding the picture above, the 2-pin connector should be able to slide over the third plastic pin when in a folded position.

Thanks Tim ... your picture seems to show that what I was hoping for is not possible .... So - I must remember to pack an adaptor when travelling.
Many thanks for your time and the others for replying!
The Euro clip in bit probably has a groove in it so that it fits with the UK earth pin folded down.
Galaxy Nexus has a USB charger so you can easily charge your device with a computer until you get a converter (they sell them almost everywhere) or simply another USB charger that works for you.
Please help me to revive my lovely desire.
Problem:
It doesnt matter wich ac adapter i use it only uses usb speed.
I tried flash ChromiumOS yesterday and tried a backup from my old vijendrahs cm10.1 v6.3.
=> It's not the rom.
I used two different batterys...
(But they have only 20% capacity left...)
When did the problem occurs?
I charge my desire with an battery pack and then the battery pack gone flat and a few minutes after this the desire shut down.
Since this incident my desire didn't load in ac mode anymore...

The problem might be caused my the Plug to USB adapter. Do you have another one of these things lying around?

Jep, we are 3 person with 3 AC Adapters originally from HTC...
I even tried different usb cables
€dit:
I think its an USB brick, because i can't connect to the phone too =(

Try the 4ext recovery USB unbrick option. If your phone rooted/s-off?

Hey there.
I have a problem with my HTC One M8. First of all, I have slightly damaged the screen in the upper right corner and it has a black spot, like 3-4 weeks ago. Because of the fact I am on my vacations and I am 24/7 on move, I don't have time to fix it and it's not that much of a problem as the phone was 100% functional with that issue - the screen reacts to touch in that black spot. But let's get straight to the real issue. Yesterday, before going bed, my phone had 20% battery. I am used to fall asleep watching some vids/other stuff @ Youtube and so it was @ yesterday's night. When I woke up, my battery was dead so naturally I plugged the adapter to charge it. What struck me was the fact that the screen didn't react to charging. I tried switching to other adapters but no result. I tried to turn on the phone anyway - if the screen is messed up, the phone should turn on anyway and greet me with some sound - it did not. I borrowed my friends laptop and connected the phone to it in order to find out what's going on. The moment I plugged it in and it installed some usb drivers, the laptop didnt display 2 disks (the phone itself + the sd card) but plenty of disks (D-Z) which the laptop wanted to format immediately (havent done that - last resort move). I have installed the HTC Sync Manager but it doesnt find the phone. It may be due to the screen damage, however, I strongly doubt that and I think it's some software issue. Has anybody had such a problem? What should I do? What kinds of software shall I download to try to tackle this issue?

Thanks in advance for any answer.
My android version is 4.4.4.
Soft version 3.28.401.9
HTC SDK API 6.25
Compilation 3.2.8.401.9 CL389833
Not branded
Let the phone charge for several hours, then hold Power+Vol up for a minute or more , and see if there is any change.
if you're looking for charging port fix, here is a small tip i hope could help you..
you can read all the thread or just jump to bottom line
my charging port stopped working after about 3 months of usage.
this was very frustrating, and didn't happen at once. at first i had to put the charging cable in certain direction, and later on i had to put some leverage on that direction, until eventually i couldn't charge at all.
it is known that this phone is one of the hardest to open, and once you put it on the "surgical table" it's hard to finish the job without "scars" , so i do understand those of you who chooses repair stores over fixing adventures. on the other hand, at least in my country, HTC repair cost so much that you ought to think about other options.
So then my tip is for those of you who have the willing and repair equipment.
You'd probably look for replacement charging board, which indeed are very cheap, and then just check out one of the many tear-down youtube videos explaining how to open the phone and replace the port.
i chose to fix the exist port instead.
to be honest, i also bought replacement. but not only it got damaged, i've found out after opening the phone that there are the two different boards for 32G/16G versions. so instead of buying another part, and waiting another month or so until arrival, i figured i can try and check out what went wrong with the current one.
i did use lab microscope to find out the problem, but there weren't many suspects to begin with.
turns out for 3 out of the 5 micro USB pins (the middle 3) - the connection to the board got broken.

so i just used friend help and soldered the 5, and voilà, phone charging again..
note that -
1. the pins were barely soldered to the board. very little amount of tin
2. I've checked my USB cables and it does look like the metal connector length differ in sizes from one to another. even if not by much, it's clearly visible. so it's very likely that inserting a cable with long connector time after time just broke the connection.
bottom line,
if your charging port malfunctions, and you happen to have soldering equipment, or a friend who does, just carefully solder/strengthen exist soldering of the 5 USB pins to the charging board.
i guess you can even take the board and ask for any electronic repair shop just to solder those. will cost much less than expert store repair
Hello, I bricked my Galaxy watch when flashing the wrong firmware, and now if I select "Download (wireless), it shows an error and redirects me to download mode without wifi. I noticed there is a hidden 5 pin connector:

I think that I should be able to flash firmware using odin when connected to the computer. But I need to figure out the pinout of the pins, since there are 5 pins, where usb has 4. Another thing is how would I connect the wires to such a small connector. Do you have any ideas?
EDIT: So I made a very janky connector, when I am in download mode on the watch, the PC recognizes an unknown USB device, someone had the same problem, and the solution is to change the vendor and product ID, but I don't really understand how to be honest, can someone help me?
I can't believe this but I actually unbricked my device! I made a really janky usb connector out of soldering metal and a piece of a cardboard:
It is really hard to keep the connection because you have to hold it steady and not move. I got a lot of "Unrecognised device" errors on Windows because I was using the wrong pinout, and after switching the RX/TX cables I saw the blue check on Odin that my device was connected, I was just so ****ing happy
Anyways, I downloaded the combination firmware, extracted it and packaged a new AP file with just the .bin files to unbrick the wireless download mode, then flashed it.
Now I am able to boot to Download (Wireless) mode and connect to the AP of the watch with my computer and flash the firmware with netOdin.
This is the pinout that worked for me:
Logged in just to say that this is impressive! I've done the same sort of thing years ago to provide 5V via pogo pins when I lost my charging puck for a LG G watch but this is even more insane!

Thanks, I kind of lost hope for this device and thought I will have to sell it for parts or throw it out, but this saved me.
