MyTouch 4G goes into recovery when charging - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Rooted MyTouch 4G goes into recovery when I put it on charger from wall plug. The recovery # is 2.5.1.2. It goes into recovery when the phone is shut off and plugged in to charge battery. When it is turned on and charging it operates normal. Could this be from some app I downloaded?
HELP PLEASE

this is a known issue with clockwork recovery. no need to fret. it is not caused by any app you downloaded

yeah, that app being rom manager. This is a KNOWN bug in clockwork recovery, and as of yet, there is not a fix to it.

Thanks for the quick response. I was just about to start deleting all kinds of apps.
Thanks again,

I was just going over this in another thread and someone said that enabling fastboot keeps it from going into recovery when turning off while charging...haven't tried it yet though but makes sense I guess.
fingers crossed..
i also read on another post where someone reinstalled clockwork in rom manager and got it to stop booting into recovery like that. one poster said it took him multiple times of reinstalling it before it finally stopped....i'm going to try this also if the fastboot solution doesn't work.
i'll post back if I confirm any of these work.

thanks. Im hoping for the latter solution, as CM7 doesnt have fastboot.

ok so haven't determined which setting exactly worked. it may have been a combination but I reflashed clockwork recovery in ROM manager , enabled fast boot, and turned on USB debugging and my phone did NOT boot into recovery after I turned it off while plugged in. charged all night off.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Same thing with my phone... I tried reflashing CWM3 and it didn't solve the problem. Turning on fast boot did however.
Just sucks because I don't want fast boot on, but I prefer charging my phone with the power off... so I guess I'll deal with it until the problem is fixed =\

Flashing stock recovery with cm7 ROM

Hi guys, sorry if it is a stupid question, but am I okay to flash the stock recovery while I'm running cm7?
My battery life is horrible so I just want to try the work around that involves charging while the phone is off and we know cwm recovery doesn't work like that right now.
I would flash back to cwm 3 afterwards.

Here's a link to one of TrueBlue_Drew's =bazillion= answers to this question. His method allows you to have two versions of CW Recovery available via the Rom Manager. Since the Rom Manager does not support CW Recovery 3.x, that version is stored as "2.5.1.4". With CW 3, ROM Manager is used only for going back and forth between CW 2 and 3.
Hope this helps.

I've actually talked to TrueBlue and I came up with the idea of making the oemrecovery and renaming it, recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1. He is supposed to be updating his guide here shortly but I just spoke with him regarding this last night.
Basically, download the oemrecovery, go to the clockwork folder on your sdcard and go clockworkmod>download>koush.tandgaming.com>recoveries. Drop the oemrecovery into that spot on the sdcard and rename it EXACTLY recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1. Once that's done you can now go into rommanager scroll down to all clockworkmod recoveries and choose 2.5.1.1. That is now your stock recovery. you can reboot into the stock recovery, and keep the phone off to charge it. Once done, reboot the phone, go back to rommanager and click 2.5.1.4 and that will give you cwm3.xxx back. If this helps you, please hit the thanks button!
Thanks. Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
I'm aware I can flash back to 2.5.1.2, but for some reason I recall that this also went into recovery when charged. I'm probably wrong about that though .
amac, that sounds like a very elegant solution. I'll have too give that a shot.
I was really mostly concerned that not having 3.x would somehow affect the cm7 installation. But im guessing it should not and only affects ability to flash the rom.
Thanks again all. And for bearing with my ignorance!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Well i just checked, and 2.5.1.2 still turns on the phone when charging while powered off.
I've looked around but can't find it, is there a flashable stock recovery for the MT4G somewhere? I know there's an image posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843289 but this one isn't flashable. But i guess i could still manage if there isn't one out there.
Thanks again everyone.
use the oemrecovery file found on page 118 of the cm6 thread. It was posted by phateless. Sorry I would link it but the xda app doesn't let you do that.

[Q] Help! my MT3G wont charge

my MT3G wont charge and the usb just doesnt work. any answers?
currently running the latest everything and using ginger yoshi 2.3
Fastboot info? Did something happen around the time it stopped working? Did you flash a new radio/SPL/ROM?

I think you meant yoshi ginger 1.0 RCX that's running android 2.3.2
I heard of some usb issues with some kernels, so I would try another ROM or just the kernel to make sure it's not hardware

Does the phone charge in recovery mode or off? how about usb-ms in recovery? if not try another cable..

It only charges when the phone is off...no lights nothing either way...but it def has to b powered down in order to charge. Mass storage does not work whether in recovery or while generally powered on. Tried both hoping for a miracle. Is it possible I have a software issue that is stopping it? If so how can I get back to stock since I cannot link to my PC, and the md5sum on my nand backup shows an error and is useless.
Edit: have used several different cables on 2 comps and no connection while powered on or in recovery

I'm going 2 wipe cache/dalvik-cache and see if that helps at all...maybe there is something in the software that is not allowing the device to acknowledge a USB hook up

Wiping cache/dalvik didn't fix it...should I look @ restoring an earlier version?

[Q] New User - Clockworkmod Recovery Q

Hi Everyone. First off I'd like to thank everyone that participates here for all of the valuable information. I am a new Android user and the information I have found here has been the best
I have a problem and I was wondering if it was me or if maybe it is a known issue. I have perm rooted my phone (thanks to bcnice's info!) and installed ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.1.4. I noticed if I turn my phone off and connect it to the charger it will boot into CwM each time and stop charging (the LED goes out). If i select "power off" from within the recovery menu it will turn off (the LED comes back on) but then it will boot right back into clockwork and the LED turns off again. Is this normal? Should I reflash clockwork? I guess it isnt the end of the world but it is a little annoying.
Thanks!
I believe it any issue with everyone on the shift right now.

[Q] Not rooted bootloop?

Ok so this is on my wife's phone that I have not touched, I have a vibrant that is rooted and I flash different things all the time, and recovered from several bootloops, so I'm not totally new to this. As soon as you turn the phone on it goes to the my touch 4g screen, vibrates, and then reboots. I can get into hboot screen but if I try to go to recovery or do a factory reset it just bootloops again. I did some searching but saw nothing about an unrooted phone bootlooping. Any help is greatly apreciated.
Try this... pull the battery. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Then try booting it. Sounds like a dell tech support answer... but it has actually worked for more than a few people.

Ok so I found PD15img.zip and tried loading it and installed fine but same problem, so I'm not trying to install factory recovery through adb and fastboot and I've got all the files but fastboot will not recognize the device (yes drivers are installed). Any suggestions before I call HTC/tmobile in the morning?

If the pd15img.zip isn't working sounds like an internal storage issue. If that's the case there is nothing u can do. Call T-Mobile not HTC.

Thanks for everyone's help. Left the battery out all night and same thing this morning. Called t-mobile and they're shipping a new one for free, which surprised me since we bought the phone off eBay. Thanks again.

Please help stuck on CWM Recover and can't reboot or turn off phone!!!

Please help!
I am running ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I'm running cyanogenmod 7.2 and I wasn't really trying to do anything. Just checking the options in recovery mode because I am preparing to sell this phone.
But now I can't get out of recovery. If I select reboot now I just get the clockwordmod recovery logo and it just sits there. Same thing if I select turn phone off.
Has this ever happened to anyone before?! Please help.
Again I wasn't trying to flash anything...change anything...really do anything. And I've been running CM7 for quite a while without issue so not sure why this is happening now.
Any help much appreciated!
Yes I do have a nandroid but it isn't very current so I'd prefer not to use it (not sure it would work anyway) if I don't have to.
Thanks in advance!
Did you use trackpad to select reboot?
How about a battery pull?

Still curious what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future...as I would like to sell a fully functioning stable phone.

I have this same problem, except it does it every time I boot to recovery. I prefer to use recovery to flash roms over the rom manager, but any tiime i make a selection from the main menu, it just shows the clockwork logo and doesn't go anywhere. Does anyone know how to fix it so that I could navigate recovery?
Thanks
