This is wierd, not sure if this is common. I have CLockworkMod Touch flashed. Whenever I turn the phone completely off, CWMtouch boots up when I plug a charger in, whether it be USB or AC. Is it supposed to do this?

I heard it was a bug, but I had it installed on my spare phone which has a broken power button, thus making it a useful bug. So useful in fact, I asked madmaxx82 to try and mimic the bug on 4ext & I was amazed when he did it! madmaxx82 & 4ext is the superior recovery! If you aren't using it, I would hope you'd consider 4ext, I've tried both and had errors with cwm, & haven't ever had errors with 4ext.

Thanks for the reply! I would flash 4ext, but some of my most recent backups with CWM as I am trying out more roms. I'll change to it sooner or later.
EDIT:
I thought about it, and said fk it. I just flashed 4ext on my phone and my wifes phone as well lol. Really nice. Haven't used it since my G1/Dream days.
I know this for sure, I just recently met madmaxx82, which is to say I had a very small issue, which turned out to be my fault (no surprise there), but he bent over backwards to help me. I really like him, & I love 4ext. I think you will be happy with your choice. And I think u can still use your backups with 4ext, but I'm not 100% sure. Just in case Id make a current one. Also, I don't know if its wise or not, but I don't save nandroid backups beyond my current Rom. In other words, I'm running Leedroid right now, I have only that backup. I usually make a fresh one every couple days.

CWM backups are compatible with 4EXT. In fact, 4EXT backs up ROMs into the CWM folder!

I thought I had a glitch or bug on my sd card, because u r right, my backups go to "clockworkmod" folder. I've known that for several weeks, I just forgot. Also,If anyone has a broke power button, and can't power up their phone, and don't have a pc to reboot it, I have a 4ext recovery img you can flash, so that you plug in ye phone and it automatically boots into recovery.

@invasion2 - Thanks, thats good to know its compatible both ways.
@jjbadd385 - that img you speak of, is that an back up image or a 4ext mod?
It's a 4ext mod, I flashed it over the most current version of 4ext & it didn't change the build number.

Thank you. This is a relief. I have bugging out since yesterday trying to figure out WTF. I thought for certain my Inspire 4G had some kind of hardware glitch. The battery life was miserable. I unrooted and flashed the stock RUU to see if I could fix it. Until this afternoon my battery life still sucked. Now it is starting to show some signs of returning to normal. The upside to this experience is that I am being sent a free battery despite being out of warranty and not eligible for an upgrade. AND I can root again :laugh:

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.

Had my X for a week now. It is rooted and running DarkSlideBlur 4.2, I have several other ROM's I am wanting to try out......
If I understand what I have been reading right, I can use Nandroid Backups to return to ROM's I like, or is it better to reflash them?
Trying to avoid the whole setup process....
Thanks in advance

A nandroid would be the route to go. It restores your phone to the exact state it was when you backed it up. Every call text message everything will be as it was.
Nandroid all the way. Works every time

As already stated, a nandroid is a best bet. Just keep in mind if you do any updates (OTA) and the radio gets updated (i.e. 2.3.15 to 2.3.340) an old nandroid will brick your phone due to an older bootloader
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks guys! I thought that was the case, as I have been all over these forums "researching" for a couple months before I got the X!
Now off to research "Radio"?? (thats a new one to me)
But what if you mount your system and get stuck in the bootup. i cant even get to the recovery. i dont know what to do.
Nandroid always has your back. Something gets screwed and you are stuck in a boot loop, plug in the usb or charger, pull the battery, put it in and boot up. That will hijack back into Clockwork.
Always Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache/Advanced/Wipe Dalvik before you flash a new ROM and you "almost" always avoid a boot loop.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
that is clockwork recovery, the stock recovery is accessed with a combination of hard keys which i am not sure which they are off the top of my head. in that you can wipe, but unfortunately no nandroid restore.
I tried every rom out there. The fastest most stable best battery life is stock. Deodexed stock. You can theme and font.

If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.

Market troubleshooting is pretty much deleting the market cache in applications or using an older version perhaps - but you need to deal with the mount errors..
Doesn't sound like a recovery issue but you can just flash CWM and 4EXT back and forth ... no need to delete as they both basically overwrite. I would stick with 4EXT at the moment. (all assumes s-off)

Because that most likely IS the recovery, unless your sister decided to dig around in /system and mess around with stuff... I mean I don't think you can corrupt the cache by yourself. That's the recovery. I'd flash back to cwm from ROM manager or through fastboot. If you know how to use fastboot here's the command:
Code:
Fastboot devices
Fastboot flash recovery.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Before you do that make sure that you have your recovery img downloaded and saved to your adb folder and renamed to recovery.img

It doesn't matter at all, "good" or "bad" chip. This is an overblown hype.
Drop CWM, move to 4EXT recovery. You most likely got corruption during one of the recovery operations, or during doing something with your phone (especially if you pulled the battery for some reason).
There are at least 2 guides for that situation exactly, I wish people would read before posting.

I found an app called button remapper thanks to I forgot who.
It will remap power,but...
It will not work to turn the phone on,and once you use it to get to recovery,you will need the power button to scroll through,so you'd still be in trouble if its completely broke.

Getting a bit sidetracked here, I am trying to revert to stock ROM and cannot because the Power button is broken on this piece of crap and I cannot get to bootloader.
• adb reboot bootloader and that sends me into FASTBOOT, NOT bootloader and does not load image
• no option in Settings > Power or Settings > Applications to disable fastboot (I have gingerbread)
• using CWM recovered > Install zip from file does not work
Can anyone advise a way to revert to stock image without HBOOT, that actually works and does not require the power button?
P.S. this whole thing has really made be disenchanted with the mess that is android right now. Since it seems that it really android is not open or owned by google. Instead owned by the carriers. I should not feel like a criminal for wanting a basic android phone. Makes me almost want to scrap and get an iPhone.
Firstly, its not the Android OS that's the problem. Its your broken ass phone so calm down. If your thinking Android is not open, go ahead and get an iPhone and you'll see what a not open OS is really like.
Secondly...
I read you have Clockwork recovery installed. Flashing this image through Clockwork will at least make it look stock. It is said you will lose root but probably keep S-ON.

Why are you trying to revert to stock if you don't mind me asking? Are u sending it to HTC for them to fix it? They wont care if your rooted they will just wipe your phone and put in the mysense gingerbread rom. I highly advise u to contact HTC and check your warranty. I sent in NY CM7 mt4g and they fixed the power button for free.

Sending it to t-mobile, not HTC for return (they already sent replacement); I thought they would mind??

Firstly, its not the Android OS that's the problem. Its your broken ass phone so calm down. If your thinking Android is not open, go ahead and get an iPhone and you'll see what a not open OS is really like.
Secondly...
I read you have Clockwork recovery installed. Flashing this image through Clockwork will at least make it look stock. It is said you will lose root but probably keep S-ON.

You might also want to check out this program here before you try the link above. I havent used it but it seems like it might be something worth checking out.

Thanks, frustrated is all. Taking it out on Android OS, but really peeved at GOOG
- for having caved into the carriers by letting them bastardize the OS with their mods, forcing me to feel like criminal in modding and jumping through hoops to get a vastly better experience
- for not outbidding verizion on that wireless spectrum and becoming a carrier themselves
Was original N1 owner (first week) and will prob sqitch to galaxy nexus (as soon as they get on more carriers)
Thanks on the suggestions, tried to reflash through CWM several times and keeps giving me installation aborted.. will download again (in case is corrupted) and try again; Interesting other suggestion, will take a look at, but not much time, have to send back replacement tomor
Thx again
You can also try this. It is a nandroid restore somebody made. It seems a bit more involved because it looks like you need to use an older version of clockwork recovery. If I am correct you can find an older version of the recovery and flash it through rom manager, but dont quote me on that one.

When I had a MT4G and the EMMC chip died I hooked the phone to a 12 volt battery and fried it. I then called and told them I plugged the phone in to charge one night and the next morning it would not power on. They replaced it no questions asked and I never heard anything about it again.
My mom's power button went out as well. Tmo and HTC flat out refused a replacement MT4G, Saying it was a "known issue". I called them about 10 times total about this problem. They just want to sell me another phone. Full price. Since i've called them so many times they wont even do a Insurance claim.
If this is a "known problem" why the f isn't it being taken care of properly?
Has anyone else had this problem with customer service?
