MyTouch 4G goes into recovery when charging

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

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 =\

Having serious problems with HTC EVO Shift.

I got the perm root to go through, however nothing I did would push the recovery over, I am trying to run the stock RUU and even that's not working correctly. The first time I tried, it went to boot loader and then timed out. Same thing was happening when I was trying to push the recovery over. It's like when the device goes into bootloader, it's not longer recognized by my computer. Trying to reset the device now, and it looks like it just froze......So it won't even reset...when going through the power+vol down menu to reset it...

What error does the RUU give you..and do you have all the drivers installed
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Yes, I got the ADB to go through just fine, I got the perm root to run through, the device is recognized up until it goes to the fastboot in the bootloader, I have all the files, etc. The phone will not hard reset, it just stays frozen on the HTC black screen. It won't reboot into the bootloader when I try to run the stock RUU either, I am taking it back to exchange it today.

You can push the recovery and all that through terminal or adb..you don't have to fastboot..I had problems with fastboot if you want to try that

Sound to me like bad drivers for fast boot. Try installing them and reinstalling them

Can you point me to the instructions to doing this? I read the ones in the root guide, however I didn't really understand it.
As for the fastboot drivers - do I need to do that from my PC or the device?

When I try to run the RUU, it reboots to the boot loader, but instead of going to the bootloader, it just goes to the black HTC screen and stays there. Any suggestions?

I did everything w/ terminal, there is a good post in the perma root thread around Feb 20th give or take a day on flashing recovery w/ Rom manager, also newkidd posted a one zip ruu thread,if all else fails u could give the irc a shoot lot of smart guys usually willing to help, good luck brother

When running the RUU and it reboots to bootloader/fastboot it will be a black screen for a few while it initializes , this is normal, don’t worry about it unless the RUU itself errors out just let it run. Mine took almost 4 minutes before it started the format and reload.

Unfortunately, it was erroring out, however, I managed to get the recovery loaded. Thanks for all your help.

[Q] Phone won't boot after failed restore

Greetings
My phone is failing to boot after a failed restore. The phone is rooted and has S-OFF. After flashing a custom ROM I wiped and tried to restore a backup of the stock rooted ROM. That failed while writing the partition cache with an error like this: E:Can't mount /sdcard. During the restore I connected the USB cable right before that error appeared and I suspect that was the cause. I rebooted the phone from recovery, the boot screen came up, sat there for a while and then it entered a boot loop. I pulled the battery at that point. Afterward the phone wouldn't boot into fastboot or recovery. The LED doesn't come on when I plug in USB but the PC detects QHSUSB_DLOAD as new hardware. Is there anything I can try to fix this?
Thanks,
Boz

So you can't boot into the bootloader or recovery at all?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Nope, I can't boot into the bootloader or into recovery. The phone is pretty much unresponsive except for the QHSUSB_DLOAD device detected by the PC.

Wow. Sounds toasted to me. Sorry. Just play around with it using different ways of powering it up.....like without the SD card, hold the buttons then put it the battery, and other ways like that. If it still won't do anything, it seems like your bricked.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I'll play with it some more but I ain't holding my breath. Can tmobile/htc fix this? If so, how much would it cost? I've had the phone for about 10 months but I don't have warranty on it.

You could take it to a T-Mobile store and ask them. They might give you a replacement if your lucky....or maybe a discount for a new phone. Don't mention that it was rooted or that you tried to fix it though. Just tell them it stopped working.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

That's what I'll be trying after work today. Hopefully they won't give me too much crap.

Read my "if you think you're bricked" guide...
Its a sticky in the general section.
Sent from my HTC Glacier Sense 3.5 using xda premium

ask and answer these two questions to yourself:
1) can you enter bootloader?
2) can you enter recovery?
Note: if you can't enter either one of those, and your device doesn't show any signs of life, then don't bother reading on, you are truly bricked.

I started reading your guide but unfortunately for me the answer to both of those questions is "no"

phone will only boot when connect to computer?

so, im really confused right now. ive been having issues, and i thought i had it worked out, then i tried rebooting my phone, and it kept looping the white htc evo screen, so i plugged it into the computer to do some adb/fastboot stuff, and it booted. ive done this multiple times to confirm. any ideas why or how to fix it?

What happens if you boot it connected to the computer and then unplug it? Does it run properly? How about booting plugged into the wall, not a computer. Does that yield the same results?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

After I see the boot animation start, I can unplug it and use it normally. Except my phone fcs, and I can't get USB mass storage to work, but that could be totally unrelated. I can boot while plugged into the wall. I'm even more confused haha
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Might be an issue with your battery not providing enough juice. You aren't undervolted, are you? Sounds like the phone just doesn't have enough juice to run right. If you are undervolted, try adjusting back. If not, try a new battery, I have a feeling you may see some cgange.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I agree with Aaron. You may also have a bad flash of a rom,, try reflashing the rom to see if it corrects the issue

Sounds like a good wiping and a nice clean flash will fix this issue.

Had the same problem awhile back after flashing CM 7 RC. After a reflash it went away and everything worked fine.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I got it working, flashing didn't due anything to help, but the problem would appear to be when everything messed up it was with boot manager and my recovery, and I had revolutionary cwm and couldn't find a dl for it anywhere, so using among ra or normal cwm wouldn't really work. So I pulled the recovery.img from an old nand and that did the trick.

Help, please.

I bought my 13 year old sister a mytouch 4g off craigslist (she loses her phones a lot) and it was working fine at first. Set up her gmail and all that. Then I put in her old sim card, installed the facebook app and the phone froze. Went into bootloader and did a factory reset. Worked fine for a bit then it froze again. Now when I turn it on it gets stuck on the logo screen and when I try to reset via bootloader it freezes too. I'm trying to root it but usb debugging is not enabled and I can't get into the settings to enable it. I've been at it for hours, my brain is fried, can't think of anything solution. Someone please help me.

Makes me wonder if the eMMC chip hasn't gone bad. If so, you're SOL. You could try putting one of the PD15IMG.zip files on the sdcard and reinstall everything fresh -- certainly wouldn't hurt to try. If the PD15IMG file fails to install then that confirms you've got a borked eMMC.

Well what the person above me said is possibly the only way you could get it to work. Do you want me to find a link for you?

Actually, it confirms your bootloader is corrupted. Either way, the phone is toast.

If you wouldn't mind. Most of the links I've found are dead except one, the one on cm's site. However when I do it, it says "Main version is older! Update Fail!"

I don't know man, without debugging your type of screwed.
Try to make a gold card, then put the pd15 on it, and then update it.
