[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike989e:
cannot make a goldcard mate, i cannot get to ADB, as device does not boot past fastboot, and even according to that guide you need to boot the device up to use adb.

Thanks for your help though, i think it is dead, think i'll just bin it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
no, you don't need to be booted into the OS:

the goldcard is just very useful to have in case you have this kind of situation.

i'm still very surprised the 2.3.3 RUU doesn't work. another thing you could try is to use the 2.3.3 GB RUU again, but use the PB99IMG.zip method, by extracting the rom.zip from the RUU

as long as you can get to a bootloader screen, it's almost certainly not dead. your symptoms are EXACTLY as that guide states. it's your device, might as well get it working again :)

a real brick is literally nothing, no response, no LED, nothing. most people who think their device is 'bricked' is never actually bricked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliensk:
as long as you get to fastboot no problem. just download the pb99img from the latest 2.3 official upgrade then throught fastboot (back+power) enter in to fastboot RUU update mode then flash the zip with the command fastboot flash zip rom.zip . you dont need even an sd card to do that. just wait to procces to finish then fastboot reboot and your done. first boot takes few minutes longer but you wont have problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike989e:
theres a couple of problems i have, 1 i have no screen, even when i fastboot. so i wont know if it fails, secondly my issues is that the image version number is to high on my phone. hence why i am getting the 140 error. as i have installed a number of roms off here the version number is to high.

off the top of my head, i cannot remember the number, however, on 2.3.3 is got a .17. in it, mine instead of that has .27. which means mine cannot install the standard 2.3.3 software, if i knew how to change the image number to higher than mine, and repackage it i could install it. but i don't know how. as i recall there was a thread about this years ago, but not sure if it was ever solved. i did look for it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike989e:
Okay, this is not fixable in my opinion.

Summary:

I have a HTC Desire GMS, I flashed it along time ago, which buggered something! Now the screen does not come on, there is no system installed, and i can only access fastboot from usb.

I cannot use commands like "fastboot oem", It can find the device. I believe this is because the phone is S-ON, and HBOOT is 0.80

My device has a Customer ID of VODAP001 so i assume i need to use a Vodafone ROM

I have tried a number of different versions of ROMs in a few different methods.

RUUS Tried - RUU_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2 - RUU HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5 - RUU HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8 - OTA_2.29.405.5

I have tried changing the rom.zip to PD99IMG.zip, but as the screen doesn't work, i do not know what the error is.

When i try to use FASTBOOT to run the ROM, i get a number of different errors, ranging from CUSTOMERID Error to Signature Error.

Installing via RUU i get the same errors as above, or more often than not, i get USB Connection error (i have installed drivers)

So i'm thinking lost course. As i would need a Vodafone UK Customer ID, with a worldwide (405) Signature higher than 1.2x.405.x

Thanks everyone for your help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
i'm confused whether the screen comes on at all now. you said previously you could get into bootloader screen, is this still the case?

can you try to get to select recovery, then connect and see if it connects to adb at all as stated in the guide? if so then you're in luck and can create a goldcard. once that's done you should be able to run any SLCD RUU as it will skip the CID check. you need to find some way of communicating via adb. some links are down, so manual method may be another way.

have you read those guides very slowly and tried everything? posting there may also help. droidzone is still active and will be the expert on solving this.

your issue is one of the more difficult to solve, i think it's still possible, goldcard is the key here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike989e:
Sorry there was some confusion there, the screen does not come on at all, i get to the bootloader as in it loads on the phone, i cannot see it though, and can connect using my pc to use fastboot. i do not believe i cannot get into recovery, as i am not sure where im loading into, it is somewhere that i can use fastboot. yes i have read through them, and thank you for those! and tried everything other than the gold card. will try to do that but as i don't have a screen that works as i installed a SLCD instead of the correct screen firmware i'm not sure how it will help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
i'm still a bit confused as i've never experienced it, only read others. so you can't even see the bootloader screen at all anymore, i thought that still works even in your situation (for clarity it's the white background with BRAVO SHIP S-ON at the top). does it still boot to bootloader screen straight away every time you try to power on normally?

or if you leave it after trying to power it on normally, does it get to boot sound? if so it still installed, you just have no screen. wait a minute until it boots up, then try connecting and see if you can communicate with adb.

at least fastboot is communicating so it's doesn't feel like a lost cause.

if above doesn't work boot to bootloader anyway (vol down + power), wait for a few seconds. then press volume down once, then power to select recovery. then try as before to get it to communicate as stated in the guide. have you tried this?

i haven't read all of it, but i believe you need at least 'adb devices' to work! then goldcard...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike989e:
Ok, It does not have a white background, the screen simply does not power on at all. (this happened after a flash, no knocks or bangs to the phone. So i don't think the screen is damaged.)

Before, it did have the white background. Yes, i believe it is booting into the bootloader when i try to start up. as thats how i am using Fastboot.

There is nothing in the system folder, "fastboot oem boot" shows nothing. i believe the phone is completely blank other than the HBOOT 0.80

i have tried that, it simply reboots back into bootloader, as i had a 3rd party recovery.

I was returning this to unrooted when this happened.

I cannot get the gold card to work on any of my microsd cards... so i will need to purchase a few to see if i can get it to work! :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you shouldnt have a custom recovery installed any more, the RUU should overwrite it to stock recovery. you won't be able to do anything with stock recovery per se, but the guide seems to indicate that you may be able to communicate with the device via adb.

still surprised the 2.3.3 RUU didn't work, I thought it's the highest version number so shouldn't have any problem.

I'm running out of ideas tbh, I'd still recommend posting the issue in the droidzone guide, hopefully he'll reply as he'd most likely know how to solve it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan1980:
Hi everyone

I have noticed my HTC One battery calibration is way off. Is says it is fully charged, and when i pull the charger, it drips to 93%?

I have tryed a few battery calibration apps from play, but they dont seem to do anything at all.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Stefan
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
Do you unplug it right after the charging light turns green?

If you wait a while before unplugging it, that might be the reason it drops so quickly.

If not, reboot the phone, charge it to 100, use it till it reaches 0, and then charge it again to 100 nonstop, not 99, to 100.

This should help your issue and should be done around once a month.

There's many people that believe lithium batteries don't need this type of conditioning, but it's worth a shot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan1980:
I unplug it, then it gets to 100%. But my problem is when I unplug it, it drops to 93% right away.

To fully drain a li-ion battery can damage it. But I have tried to drain it, to around 3% and the fully charge it, and that didn't help.

I'm pretty sure it's a calibration issue. But I just don't think to calibrating tools I'm using, is working properly.

Is there another way to calibrate the battery?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
It's not a calibration issue. It's a safety thing. It's built into the battery and there's not much you can do about it. There's a chip in the battery that tells it to stop taking a charge once it hits 100%. One it drops to a certain point like day 90% it'll kick back in. So, once you take it off the charger and it drops, put it back on for a few minutes and it might reach 100

Bad timing?

Sendt fra min HTC One med Tapatalk2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
Thats why i asked if you unplug it right away. If you leave it plugged in once its fully charged, its not charging anymore. So RIGHT when the light turns green, take it off the charger, and it shouldnt drop to 93.

And you havent seen it on the S4 or S3 because they continually charge even at 100, be grateful that the HTC One has an intelligent charging chip which lets you charge it overnight without damaging the battery.

Its not a problem, its a good thing..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan1980:
I have tryed taking it off the charger right after it shows that it´s fully charged, and it somehow still drops to 93%

I have owned sgs1, sgs2, sgs3 and sgs4. And I have never had any problems with the battery getting damaged because of overcharging, it stops charging at 100%, like it should be.

It shouldn't stop at 93%?. To me that's not a good thing at all. And that I have to remember to unplug it, and plug in the charger again to get the last 7% on the battery, ain't a good thing either.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
My earlier comment about bad timing, what it meant was that maybe you have just been unlucky and have pulled the phone off when it was no longer near 100. Bad timing.

I haven't charged my phone to 100 for a while, so I can't really report on the behaviour of my phone, but the battery in the phone is fairly advanced compared to the average battery. I would expect that it may even have some life-extension features that removable batteries lack. These features, not problems, will be trying to limit stress to your battery ie. trying to keep the battery away from "100%". But if you continue to have problems getting it close to 100, maybe the calibration really is off.

I would discharge all the way until the phone shuts off. You say you haven't done that because you don't want to damage the battery, but "0%" isn't actually 0%. You will stress the battery, like you would by charging to "100%", but you won't damage it. Really that is the one clear option I see that is left in regards to your question.

Or... Don't charge your phone so high. The battery is good enough to last on less than "100%". Your battery will like you for it. It'll extend it's lifetime.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
ataft answered it pretty nicely. But honestly, stop comparing the phone to all your sgs's. With those phones, the battery is prolly less efficient than it was when you first got it, due to continuous charging at 100% etc. But theyre all replacable, so theres no issue. With the One, you cant replace the battery, so HTC has implemented as many features as possible to extend the life of the battery as much as they can. Thus is stops at 100%, which is a huge plus point for me, since i like charging over night. So that being said, when my battery reached 100 and i unplug it, it stays at 100 and works properly. Since yours drops to 93, and youve tried a bunch of things to try and fix it, it could honestly be a faulty battery..if the phones still brand new, this might be the case. Other than that try what ataft said, bring it down till the phone turns off, and charge it too 100% again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan1980:
Of course I'm gonna compare it to other phones I've had. Removable or non removable battery.

I've also had the nexus4, with out me having any problems getting a full charge out off the battery.

Anyway. I'll try to fully discharge the battery, until the phone shuts off. And change it up all the way.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
i mean because youre saying the fact that is stops charging at 100% is a issue, you shouldnt compare it to your older phones, because theres a really good reason why the HTC One implements that feature..but thats besides the point, cause it might honestly not even be the reason behind why your phone drops to 93%.

How old is your One?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefan1980:
After draining the battery until the phone turned off, and giving it a full charge, it seem to have fixed the problem. I have charged it 3times since and now it doesn't drop.

So it was a calibration issue!

Battery calibration, as already mentioned here, is the solution.

Let the battery drain till 0% and charge the phone to 100% at once.

HTC one M8 Battery issue

Hi,

I just bought an unlocked HTC One M8 Europe version. Its working great except a small issue which is the battery percentage

the battery percentage does not decrease, When I charge it, it increases but after plugged out of the charger the % remains the same throughout the day.

It does get refreshed if i boot into recovery and reboot but remains same again.

Have tried deleting cache / dalvik cache, tried battery caliberation app too no help

someone please help

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eskimosound:
I found this googling.....

This is directly from HTC tech support. To recalibrate battery and HTC charger when battery rapidly or erratically discharges, this procedure clears all battery stats, coordinates and normalizes charging.

Turn off Fast Boot in settings. Power off phone.

Plug phone into HTC charger and charge for two minutes or more

While charging, hold down volume up+volume down+power button and continue holding

Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold all three buttons

Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release buttons when phone is ON

Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off--doesn't matter) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized.

Do this every month or so to keep power system healthy--even if everything seems fine. Also, don't leave phone on charger overnight for best long term battery life (according to HTC tech support: "The first thing they tell us." This is true even though charging is supposed to turn off when battery is at 100%)

Do I need bootloader and how do I load ROM files on to the SD card. Instruction or pointers is much appreciated. Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] finalzero:
Reset your device to the boot loader (press Power button + joypad button + reset to boot into the boot loader screen).

Then connect your device to your PC, do not worry about ActiveSync, your device will be connected. Then start the upgrade and you should be okay to upgrade now.

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] erikiksaz:
Ok, here it goes again, without the use of the F word.

Why would you want touchwiz on our phones?

Samsung literally tried their best to copy Apple, while failing miserably. Instead of clean and sophisticated (for 2007 standards, people) Touchwiz looked like it was designed by children for use by children. 5th grade classrooms want their ugly pastel colors back!

And now Apple has changed their design, to only leave Samsung and their steaming pile of Touchwized crap to wallow in their own poor, copied design.

I BET Samsung will change the next iteration of touchwiz.

It's unfortunate when others can't recognize poor design when it's being sold to them for 200-600 dollars.
