I flashed to CM 6.1.1 and made a backup beforehand with both Titanium Backup and Clockwork Mod Rom Manager 2.5.1.3.
the problem I'm having is when I tell the phone to shutdown it will shutdown, unless I plug my mini-usb charger in (or have it in already) and then when it's plugged in it will automatically switch back on and go into CWM Recovery console and hang at the reboot option.
I've flashed back to my original backup of the T-Mo OTA OS and I get the same profile I had before, but again when I go to shutdown with the USB cable plugged in it always pops back into the CWM Recovery console.
anyone have any idea's where I'm going wrong ? Thanks in Advance!

It's a known issue with clockwork that it will boot into recovery when you charge it while powered off. It is a clockworkmod issue and there is nothing you can do to fix it aside from flashing back stock recovery.

In an effort to get back to stock I took things a step too far and now have a phone that won't power on. I had successfully rooted the phone and installed Rom Manager and flashed the clockwork recovery and immediately created a nandroid backup. Sometime later my phone started acting funny... usb connected/disconnected events when it was not plugged in, crashes, etc. I felt confident that this was a hardware issue (started after my daughter chewed on it when I wasn't looking). Anyway, I followed the instructions here in the dev forum (True Stock 2.1 firmware for vibrant) for the vibrant to get back to stock ( I apparently can't post the link because I'm new...) . So that I'd be able to try and get it replaced. I kept noticing that no matter how hard I tried clockwork was still installed... then I did the bad thing. I should have known better, but I made the rookie mistake and deleted the clockwork folder from the internal flash. I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I did. Since then the phone doesn't seem to boot. I can get it into download mode to flash images from odin (battery out, battery in, volume up + volume down, connect usb and download comes on). And after a successful download it seems to restart ok. But if it crashes (which it is now prone to do) or is powered off it won't boot after that. Worse I can't get to the stock recovery either.
I'm hoping that someone who has a nice rooted stock phone with clockwork installed can just help me get a copy of that folder back and everything will be fine... if not I may just have to see if playing dumb with tmobile will get the phone replaced as is...
Thanks in advance for any help.
Are you talking about stuff in /sdcard? If so, that won't effect the boot. You could delete everything in there and not change anything. Some apps might not work as you will have deleted their data, but if you're flashing a stock ROM with Odin, that's fine.
Enable debug mode in the settings and use "adb reboot recovery" at a command prompt. That should get you to the stock recovery. Try a factory reset from there, that might help. If not, delete anything in /sdcard that's not supposed to be there and swap with TMobile as it sounds a hardware issue at that point. Don't forget to keep your external SD card if you've replaced it.
Is USB debugging on?
When you get the phone up, can you connect to it via ADB and then adb reboot recovery or adb reboot download?
Thanks for the suggestions. I did get the sdk installed and used adb to reboot into normal recovery, so it's not completely boned. Since I could use adb for resets I went ahead and followed the rooting process again and reflashed clockwork. The phone still won't boot on it's own. I'm starting to think whatever was going south with the hardware has continued to get worse. I'm going to use odin to get back to "true stock" again and try to use adb to reboot into recovery and do a factory reset suggested above and see if that helps.
Thanks again.
I went back to stock with odin, ran the factory reset, and still can't power up normally or into recovery. I can get into download though, load with odin, come up normally after the reset. I'm going to try giving it back to Tmobile in it's refusing to power up state and see if I can get them to swap it. It's as stock as I can make it so the problem should not be mine.
Thanks again for the help.
FWIW - i just installed Rom manager this morning, the premium version, and today experienced 5 force closures, one on google maps
before this i've had maybe one FC some 2-3 weeks ago - and like you i did a clockworkrecovery backup or nandroid backup
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.

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"
During my flash to CyanogenMod somehow my phone set itself to boot into cwm whenever the phone was connected to my computer. I should stipulate this only happens when the phone off. When plugging it in, while phone is on, no problem.

This has been a known issue with ClockworkMod. It did not happen when you flashed CM. The original battery charging screen was located in HTC recovery image and that is what was shown when you were charging your phone with it powered off (it never really is powered off; more like a hibernated state). Since ClockworkMod has now replaced the original HTC recovery, that battery charging screen is no longer available, so CWM displays its screen when you are charging the phone in a powered off state.

There is nothing to fix. If you leave your phone on while it's charging it's not an issue, because the screen will turn off and a few minutes. If you power it off while it's charging, it will display the CWM screen. It's still charging, but the screen will stay on.
If you want the battery charging screen back, then you need to replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery image.

1) I'm not uninstalling cwm though, am I?
2) Never done this procedure, "replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery image", how would I do this?

1. Yes, you would be removing CWM and replacing it with the stock HTC recovery.
2. Run the original HTC RUU (ROM update utility) and reflash the phone back to stock.

Not looking for stock, that's why I flashed it

Well, in other words, this is known behaviour for CWM and there is no fix. If you don't want it to happen, as tpbklake was trying to get across to you, either don't plug your phone in while it's off (i.e. charge while it's on) or go back to stock.
If you're looking to just flash a custom ROM then never mess with again, you could try using unrevoked to flash the stock recovery image. But as all of the other posters have said, if you want the useful recovery features of CWM there's no getting around the USB issue.
I looked into this awhile ago myself and picked up the stock recovery image, but never tried it out. (stock recovery image is attached)
I find it kinda funny how many people can turn off their phone and plug it in to charge and see a giant animated battery icon and somehow think that the phone is still completely off? That should be the dead give away that its on, in some state anyway. But enough goofin, like was said above, whether you're seeing that battery icon or seeing the cwm screen, the phone is charging and either way its not really off.
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!
