[Q] Overnight reboot issue

Every night I turn off my phone and charge it before I go to bed and in the morning when i turn it on, it goes into clockworkmod recovery...only when it's been off all night but not when it's off for only a few min. Anyone else have this issue?

My phone sometimes boots into Clockwork Recovery randomly as well. Its not a huge inconvenience just 1 button press but it would be nice to only boot into recovery when I ask lol.

My theory is that it has to do with being plugged in to a wall charger .
Thats the only time it seems to happen to me.
The official answer is
"How does this work? ( By Koush )
When your device boots up, there is a init.rc script in your boot image that runs various components found in /system. The Droid X recovery bootstrap mimics the "logwrapper" binary. The hijacker then looks for "/data/.recovery_mode", and if it finds it, it unmounts /system to prevent android from starting. It then starts up recovery instead."
It has to do to the "Mimic"

[Q] After unrevoked3 charginf while off locks phone

Hi all,
I have a Wildfire and proceeded to root it by using unrevoked. Followed the instructions and it all went well. To confirm, I also successfully used a root requiring app without problems.
The only thing is I'm unable to charge the phone while its turned off. If I do so, the red light comes up (normal) but never turns green to signal a full charge. It was hooked up all night. And, when I pull the plug, it stays red. The phone doesn't even turn on. I have to remove the battery for a second and the phone works again. As far as I can see, no problems while the phone is powered on.
First of all I wanted to hear if anyone else is having the same problem.
Then, if there's a method to unroot this cell. It's not american and not branded, so I would need a RUU file matching it. How do I search for such a rom?
Thanks!
Fabio

It's a known problem with the unrevoked procedure on Wildfire (as a forum search would have revealed).
I'm afraid I have no idea if an rru will fix it. Easy solution: leave the device on when charging.

Sorry for the noise, then. But beileve it or not, I did in fact search before posting. What search did you do to obtain results?

Edit: sorry, I'm really feeling dumb now. First search, got the result. Again, sorry for the noise!

Just found about that recently and it was the first time I've charged the phone while it's switched off. And yes it is far better off charging it with the phone switched on.

After perma root phone won't shut down completely.

After getting perma root and installing Bacon bits 0.3, when I want to turn my phone off completely it instead just boots back up into the recovery. Does anyone else have this problem or have any ideas how to resolve it?

I have no idea, but noticed it too...

I am apparently having this problem as well now. I never noticed it before and even after a battery pull my phone seems to boot back into recovery. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

One thing to note is that you need to make sure that you don't have it plugged in and charging. It's known to boot on its own when you do that. I'm not sure if that is a bugged feature or not, but I also have Bacon Bits installed and can shut down fine.
Although, my phone stays on all the time.

Ok just tried to turn off my phone with it unplugged and it did not turn on to recovery. So kind of a boo bug for now but I am sure that it will get worked out.

Heh... I'm guessing you all have Clockwork Recovery installed? That's the problem. At least, when I switched to the test keys recovery, it wouldn't constantly start back up with any power regardless of how I shut down.

hmm..i have baconbits installed and dont have this problem. ill look into it

My damn phone doesn't want to turn off while charging.

I just finished uninstalling everything on this phone thinking it was an app doing this. Tonight is the first I've noticed this.
Here's the scenario. Phone is on and plugged into charger in car. I have root and recovery. No problems with those installs. I try to shut off the phone and it goes like it did, then a few seconds after the charge light comes on when the phone is off, it boots into recovery by itself. I pulled the battery and no change. I turn the phone off while unplugged and it stays off. Keeping the phone off, I plug it into the charger and recovery boots up. This is the strangest friggin thing I've ever seen!
I'm going to ruu it when I get home shortly. I will see if it does it then. If okay then I will root it and see if it does it. If not then I will install recovery and see if it does it. I don't think it was doing this with root only but I will see when I get home.
If it turns out to be recovery, I can live without it for a while until a newer version comes out. I prefer rooted stock anyways. Anyone seen this? I doubt it.

Others were talking about having this issue, so it could very well be a preliminary issue with root on the shift

This is a known issue with CW recovery. I am thinking about learning how to make a recovery for us, as this really bothers me.

I am working on it, but since I know no java, it will take some time.

Finally got mine rooted today, ran into some weird issues, but haven't experienced this issue. I did run into some issues with it plugged in an booting the phone. It wouldn't boot when power was pressed. Charge light would also stay on after it was unplugged. Battery pull resolved my issue. Not the same I know but kinda quirky

stuck in bootloop on stock Evo =(

I have an Evo that isn't rooted, but is stuck in a bootloop. The battery was getting low and then all the sudden after i charged it some and turned it back on it just loops the boot animation.
I have tried a few things and still can't really figure out why this came out of nowhere. I was running the official 2.3 update for a few days now and this came out of nowhere.
any idea or tips?

So you're 100% stock, huh? (adjusting my thinking to stock type)...
Were you running any new apps or anything before this happened? It was literally out of the blue? I would take the battery out of it, and let it sit for a while (10-20 mins) Then put the battery back in and see if it will boot up. If not, try taking your SD card out and then try booting. If that still doesn't work, I'd suggest doing a factory wipe from your bootloader, then try booting. To do that, power the phone down completely. Hold your volume down and power buttons simultaneously until the hboot screen comes up. Navigate down to 'clear storage', and select it. This will completely wipe all of your user data from the phone. If it still won't boot up after that, I would take it to sprint. Normally I'd suggest using an RUU, but since you're on the OTA, there is no RUU for it yet, and you can't downgrade it, unfortunately. Good luck.
Again, if the phone's super hot, let it cool down with the battery out for a while.

You're welcome. I hear ya about not wanting to lose the stuff, but a reset may be the last resort if it won't boot up. It's better to get it booting and lose all her stuff, than to not have the thing even turn on! Hopefully after it sits for a while it'll fire up for ya though. If not, I'd pay sprint a visit and tell them that the OTA borked the phone!
