Just curious. I know it's easy to reflash stock recovery, but if the phone shows as 100% full and I power off with it plugged in, the charge light still shows orange in Clockwork Recovery.
Just wondering if I leave it like this overnight if the light will ever turn green?
I think it's just a bug. Maybe it'll be fixed in the next update.

If I recall correctly the phone booting to clockwork recovery when charging while off has to do with the PHONE itself, not Koush's work.
I know the phone charges while in "off recovery" but the light shows orange even when the phone was already full.
What I really wanted to know is if the light will ever turn green.
I don't think it ever will, I don't think it even charges while in clockwork recovery
It does charge while in recovery. But I've had occurances where the phone's batter icon is no longer 'charging' as in being animated. But it in fact is still charging. It stops charging untill the 'Bolt' icon dissapears.
Hope this helps.
Do you mean clockworkmod recovery or stock recovery? Agree that it charges in stock recovery.

Right, and I don't believe it charges in clockworkmod recovery. It sounded like Elloco305 was talking about stock recovery because unless I missed something, CWM recovery doesn't have any kind of bolt icon.

It does while in CWM
And the battery icon with the 'Bolt' is on the ROM/Stock/CM/IG/etc.
I'm sorry for not making sense earlier. >.<
BTW what version of CWM do you have installed? Because 2.5.1.2 Gives no LED function. At all.
Neither does 3.0.0.5
So again. What version are you running???

It's not the version. If you reboot into recovery you get no light. If you power off the phone while already connected to the charger and wait for it to boot itself to recovery, THEN you get the light.

So I read somewhere you can't properly calibrated the battery because when you plug the phone in while its off CW boots. Well couldn't you just charge it fully, reset battery stats, uninstall CW, drain the battery and charge it to calibrated the battery?

you could reinstall the stock recovery then calibrate your battery. The image is in the Dev forum.
or you could turn "fastboot" on in your device. that will prevent the clockwork recovery from starting when you start charging.

I don't see how this solves anything. The phone isn't truly powering down with fastboot enabled so you can't get a full charge correct? If you enable fastboot, then pull and reinsert the battery, then plug in it boots into recovery.
Someone enlighten me please.
Well if you drained your battery until its dead completely then its impossible for it not to shut down completely... dunno that's what I ended up doing guess we will see if it worked out or not.

That makes sense, true that "fastboot" puts your phone into a sleep state and therefore not truly off. BUT if you burn the battery til it's dead than fastboot or not it's going to be truly off.
Right?
Lol makes sense to me.

Honestly I've had fine luck with simply wiping battery stats when phone is fully charged, rebooting, removing from charger and going on with my life. Never found the need to "recalibrate" beyond what I just said.
Try it.
Thanks I just found that if you turn fastboot on that is a way to work around the cw bug.

This works because with fastboot turned on, your phone doesn't completely shut off. It goes into hibernation mode without clearing memory. It's more of an illusion of a fix than anything.

This is true...
You also need to change your Connect to PC option from "Disk Drive" to "Charge only" and your phone won't turn on into Recovery Mode with it "Off" and plugged into the wall charger... Last night, I had the phone turn itself on in Recovery Mode, after I had completely turned it off, until I rebooted and changed the Connect to PC option and tried the recharging procedure that way again... Then it charged with the phone off, the way it should.
Not working for me, phone still turns on in recovery menu. Any other ideas ?

Hate to day this bro, but known bug. Deal with it. :-\
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. 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.

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.
I don't know if the phone is bricked, i sure hope not.
I had cm7 final running just fine. I was installing a kernel from clockwork recovery, and i followed the instructions. It installed, i told it to reboot the phone, it came to the cm7 blue booting screen. it kept repeating that for over 20 minutes. at that point i pulled the battery and replaced it. then i think it was stuck at the tmobile splash screen for a while. i was able to reboot and get to recovery mode again, i wiped cache and tried to install the kernel again, this time got an error. now it went to tmo splash screen and froze there for a while. after another battery pull, nothing will display on the screen and i cannot access recovery mode (i try by holding volume down, then holding power button). the ONLY thing that does happen is that the lcd backlight will stay on until i pull the battery. i plugged into pc without the battery, lcd lights up, but its not recognized by windows or adb.
I'd be grateful for any possible help or ideas, thanks in advance.

He did? I only saw that he could not boot into recovery. I was thinking if his recovery is screwed up, he could still use fastboot to flash a new recovery and then be able to wipe and start over. If he can't get into the bootloader or recovery, then yeah, it's the dreaded B word.

I'm not sure if there's a different procedure to get into hboot as opposed to recovery. I've only had the mytouch 4g for about a week (always had Nexus one before). After pulling and replacing the battery, i hold volume down, then hold power button. Is that how to get into recovery and/or hboot, or is there another procedure I can try?
I used the visionary app to obtain root, install rom manager, then installed clockword mod recovery and cm7 through that. Working fine for a few days until i decided to flash the kernel to get better battery life....

Unfortunatly its the same procedure, hold volume down and power on. So if when u do that nothing happens and adb doesn't work your phone is done.

I'm not sure what the exact status of your phone is, but usually flashing a kernel does not brick the phone. If anything the ROM won't run right or there will be other problems, but never do they prevent the phone from booting into recovery (the recovery partition uses a completely different kernel). When you try turning it on again, don't bother trying to let it boot normally. Hold down power and volume down and see if you can get into recovery. Then run all three wipe options and flash a new ROM.

It's happened to me before where I thought I had completely bricked the phone. It crashed in CM7 RC2 when I tried to mess with the DSP settings. After that, I went through the same situation as you. I got tired of it, left it charging overnight while it was stuck on the splash screen. The next morning, it was on like nothing happened. I'm thinking it just needed to sort itself out. Not really a fix or suggestion, but at least an indication that there is hope.
Nah, its dead man. Not on its entirety but virtually. I know that JTAG could be an option albeit, im not sure.
I can assure you though that there must be something extra u must have missed that caused this, did you play with radio's or SPL's? Cause that is how i bricked a magic lol

mine bricked on restoring. got to the point of not responding to anything - power button and even charge indicator no longer worked.

By saying that you used the visionary app to obtain root, is that all you did? Then installed rom manager and etc etc etc? Did you go through the full root method to get S=OFF as well?
Well previous to using visionary...i was trying another method to root using the terminal, but it wasn't working, so then i found visionary and used that. I never interacted with the phone using adb, if it matters. If i never really had s=off, could this be why this whole thing happened?
