A friend noticed that he was able to get into clockwork without specifically choosing to. As we both have a DroidX i decided to try the same thing.
What i noticed was that If the phone was powered off, then plugged in, then powered on after the "charging" indicator came up it would boot the phone into clockwork.
Anyone else seeing this? anyone with a phone thats in a bricked state (that has clockwork installed) able to try this?
We are currently running 2.3.340 with RubiX Focused 1.9.5 themed and clockwork 2.5.0.7
Yes that is how mine works. It happens after my phone dies completely and I have to start charging from a fully dead battery.
It is also after the charging indicator is on first.
Just go to bootstrap and tap "bootstrap recovery" but dont reboot. No more CM at bootup

A lot of people have the clockwork bug where if the phone is completely off and you plug it into the wall charger, it automatically turns on straight to clockwork recovery. It's very annoying as I can't recalibrate my battery.
Has anyone found a fix for this???
I just wish Amon_Ra's recovery was available for this phone. Never had probs and had better features.
Completely agree. I noticed an update for ROM Manager came through this morning but the version number of CW Recovery appears to be the same. Haven't tried to flash and test yet.
hello, i have a fully rooted mt4g with clockwork recovery & evil desire hd port.
i let my phone die completly before charging it and every time i plug it in while the phone is off it boots back up into clockwork recovery, thus not being able to charge while off. any fix or is it suppose to be like this ?
& another thing, how do i boot into recovery mode the normal way? (not through bl)
thankyou
known bug in clockwork...i believe it is being worked on..
the charging issue is a commonly known issue for the MT4G after rooting and installing clockwork mod. not sure what you mean by "not through bl", the only 2 ways I know for booting into recovery is through ROM Manager or powering off phone and holding down the volume down and power buttons at the same time till phone boots.

i.e. Enabling Fast Boot.
Y'all need to try this:

So has anyone figured this out, or has there been a new clockworkmod released ? I tried the 'Fastboot' option but my phone still turns on in the CWM recovery menu.

Go to Settings>Connect to PC set "default connection type" to "charge only"
Everything's normal when I try to charge with the system on.. But when I plug in the usb cable from the electricity slot, it shows up the battery which shows the percentage and a non-spinning refreshing circle in it. It doesn't spin at all. Waited 5+ minutes for the percentage to arrive. After I hard powerdown the device (holding down the power button for 6-7 seconds) I can still open it and use it without any problems. Recent error, restoring from my CWM backup right now.
Anyone had this before?
I still have it after the perfect restore. Really weird.
Edit: Wiped to factory. Still no luck.
Restoring back to my original settings now. Gonna try after then gonna go to sleep. Tomorrow going to try with the modaco rom.
For further use;
I installed my ROM from scratch with odin. Original recovery was installed, no cwm. The green battery showed with the original recovery. Rooted phone, installed a few apps and the green battery was still there. Installed CWM with eurotab bootstrapper. Green battery isnt there anymore.
Cost of CWM.
Hello all,
A friend just purchased a used G2. I was able to take it from stock 2.3.x ROM, downgrade it, and then root it and load a CM7 KANG on it just fine. I then updated CWMR to the latest version for this phone (5.0.2.7) through ROM Manager.
I noticed that if I have the battery in and the phone off, when I plug in a USB cable, the phone boots directly to CWMR (no HTC screen) after about 7 seconds. Searching on the forums it looks like this was a CWMR issue that was fixed earlier in 2011. Is this a regression in CWMR or is something else up?
Stranger still: if I leave CWMR up, the CWMR text on the screen disappears after 20 seconds and the whole screen is blank. The phone seems to stay on though as I can now boot it by pushing the black button at the bottom center of the phone (OK/Confirm in CWMR) or the Power button. Normally when the phone is unplugged it only boots via the push of the Power button.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you XDA!
Clockword 5.x.x.x has issues on the G2 - I would recommend going to Rom Manager, go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries," and choose 3.0.2.4, or flash that manually.
That fixed it! Thanks!

I rooted my G2 about two months ago. I'm currently using MIUI, not the latest but the one before it. Somehow, my phone got turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. I have a custom recovery image so I don't know if that affects anything. I tried to reboot into recovery by pressing volume down and power, nothing happened. I then did volume up and power. It vibrated three times and the orange light started flashing. I pulled the battery and now when I try to turn it on, nothing happens. So how do I reboot into recovery and so I can restore my backup? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Never pull the battery during something like that. It sounds like your bricked. Someone else confirm?
I don't think it's bricked. I plugged it up and then Clockwork came up so I selected reboot now. Clockwork came up again so I tried to restore my latest backup and the screen went black. I'm going to let it charge and then give it another try.
Ok good. That's lucky because whenever you pull on a boot like that, it usually bricks. If you have the option, try to re-flash your ROM. Maybe even try stock. If you were getting a black screen, it's most likely you flashed incorrectly.
Ok, I was able to boot into recovery and now I'm restoring my backup. I don't think I had a custom recovery image with this one so hopefully I won't get stuck in a bootloop. When you say stock, do you mean before I flashed MIUI (it was the first rom I flashed)? Thank you for your suggestions and all of your help.
first install adb on you PC, it helps a lot in these kind of cases.
1. try "adb logcat", it would tell you about what's going on in your machine.
2. once you get your adb working, try "adb reboot recovery" to see if it could boot your phone in recovery.
3. if after doing everything you fail to boot either your phone or in recovery then try using PC10IMG to boot a stock rom and then re-root your phone.
I got it back working. For some reason, I'm just starting to think that it needed charging (the battery had been out for about a day or two). I do have adb installed and configured on my computer since I needed it to root. Thank you for your suggestions, I will definitely rember them if this happens again.
lol of course when you get black screen and led blnking means your battery begging for juice, you're lucky that when the phone booted back in recovery and you tried to restore a backup the phone went off before actually starting to restore, that would've bricked your phone
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITHOUT AT LEAST 40% OF JUICE LEFT
