howdy everyone,
So I am on TD 8.0, elemental 3.4, s-offed etc. I'm having a peculiar issue with the phone not charging unless i reboot it several times or boot into recovery. I have tried restoring etc but to no avail. It all appeared to start when I went from Stock+GE to TD8.0 but had a failed flash report in twrp after successful aroma install. after td failed to install I was having bootloops along with no charging, but was able to regain control by redownloading and reflashing. i've wiped everything multiple times and have reflashed and restored. it seems to happen if the phone has been charged several times without a reboot. any thoughts? doesn't seem like hardware as TWRP always will show charging.
thanks team

I have read about this a couple of times, it seems the only resolution is to revert back to 100% stock and then start the process of unlocking the bootloader/S Off etc again

so i'm back in the US and am seeking to return to stock and start fresh. since the phone is bugging out i can't get it to connect via usb unless i'm in the bootloader.... any way to pull files etc? this is such a headache and i'm so jetlagged. time for a beer.

scratch that. i could get the files via airdroid, even if it takes an age and multiple shutdowns and charges... the phone now will only charge if i hard reset a few times.... otherwise, it will nearly always charge if i'm plugged in and reboot to twrp...
What is the easiest way to revert to stock without stopping me from regaining s-off etc? sorry to be asking a newbish spoonfeeding question, just want to make sure i'm not buggering my baby. I'm considering attempting to flash the new base in the form of TD10, but unsure if that'd even help. just seems the problem is deeper than that... weird.

Here is the lowdown of what I have currently.

CID- 11111111
Hboot- 1.54.0000
Radio- 4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP- v31.120.274.0617
os 2.24.401.1
emmc boot 2048mb

td8 build # 2.19.401.1

It's just such a strange problem. sometimes I can reboot several times and it will charge. if i reboot into twrp while plugged in it will charge. I cannot connect USB storage at all, and can only access the storage from a pc using WIfi. It seems fastboot sees the comp as well, though i've yet to try commands here...

any help would be greatly appreciated. If i have to return to stock, so be it, I just want to make sure i do it correctly and am able to get back on board with custom roms.

thanks everyone, sorry to newb up the board.

ps, the phone also frequently enters car mode for no reason. frequently being twice a minute until i froze the app. it will also say the charger isn't supported even when i've not had it plugged in for hours or on that boot cycle. wonder if fastcharge had something to do with it? also keeps saying su binary out of date, even when i accept the update. and it daydreams sporadically during use (don't we all)

I'm having a similar issue which started when I was on elemental kernel and flashed bulletproof kernel to try it out but the problem didn't occur until I flashed back to elemental.

Returning to stock won't help buddy, I've literally got my phone back today as I had to send it off for repair, but HTC had to replace my device under warranty because it was a faulty handset. Send it off for repair dude.

I actually got my warranty replacement in the mail today but I still need to return it to stock before I send this one back. You are correct though, nothing I have done, including returning it to stock has made any difference.

i'm having the same issue here, returning to stock didn't fix a thing. now i am just trying to remove the UNLOCKED flag from the bootloader. I flashed my RUU etc, but since the phone can't connect via usb when booted, ADB won't work. I can fastboot etc, but how can i remove the unlock flag via REVONE without adb? can i do it just through fastboot? any help would be greatly appreciated

I just got my phone back from the repair centre and they had to replace the device completely. Jeez! Not having a smartphone really puts you in the dark ages lol
