    Take the larger connector at the end of the USB cable. There are two ends of the USB cable. The larger connector is a standard USB connector. Everyone who has used USB devices is familiar with this.

    Leave the other end out for now. The other end has a micro USB connector, and it is very small. If the size of both USB connectors are compared side by side, it is obvious how different they are. The next steps will demonstrate how to put the larger connector into the socket of all of these chargers.

    Notice that a part of the shiny area of the connector might be visible between the connector and the charger. Sometimes, the connectors do not go in all the way. Ironically, the USB connector in all of the other chargers went in completely. That is not a problem, as either having or not having a gap is the intended position.

    Put the micro USB connector into the phone. Do not push too hard. If it is pushed hard, then the connector is turned upside-down. Once the micro USB connector is in the phone, it is possible to see a tiny shiny part of metal.

    Slide the micro USB connector in. Pulling the connector in and out might be difficult. It feels much harder than doing the same with iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S5, or Microsoft Lumia 535.

    Pull the micro USB connector out now. A little pop can be heard as the cable is pulled out. That is how the charger for the HTC One M8 is connected and removed. The back cover of the phone does not come off, so there is no way to take the battery out of the HTC One M8. It is only possible to charge the phone by using the USB charger and cable with the micro USB end.
