so the phone works fine but i cannot charge with it off as regardless or rom while it is off if i plug the charger in it boots into recovery mode. IF my battery was to completely drain i would'nt be able to charge it with out a standalone battery charger
due to this fact i'm looking for solutions to the actual problem not someone to say don't let it die. it probably never will as i would just switch it off but still i'd like to be able to turn my phone off and charge it if i wanted to
Has anyone else experienced this or heard about this and have actual useful info, i don't need to be told flash a new rom etc i'm always flashing roms. It's not an urgent issue i'd just like to know seeing as i seem to be one of the only people experiencing this
I think you have an old recovery that doesn't allow charging.
Update to latest 4EXT.

Then you stay with your problem.
Yes, obviously it's a recovery problem. Recovery that supports charging was done starting CWM 5.0.0.6 (hack) and 5.0.0.8 or so (official). The latest CWM should support charging too. Personally, I fail to see even one smallest reason not to upgrade recovery.

i had the latest cwm touch and couldn't charge, 4ext is alot better though, the free version has nearly every rom manager premium feature i'd switch if i was you, well i did switch lol
Okay, thanks. I'm not changing ROM often so I guess I can stay with CWM. The only prob that I have is that it boot to recovery while charging (when off) but I also doesn't shut down my phone when charging, so it doesn't matter that much.

You would certainly see multiple benefits from upgrading to 4 ext recovery, especially writhe touch version....even the free version although would recommend that you buy the paid version to support the quality developer

I just tested it.
I turned phone off with 80% and and put it on the charger. The orange LED came on and after few mins I booted it up and it was on 85%.
So it looks like everything is fine again
To download new CWM just download rom manager from the market and install the new recovery.

Haha do you get paid to advertise your thread?
You are everywhere saying that its an option. Its 128412 easier to do it with Rom Manager, and less chance of screwing things up for newbies
I am really happy that Rom Manager is finally here, and cant wait till we get the chance to download Roms from it - making life so much less complicated for everyone new on here.

So the new CWM from the market will install a fixed version of recovery? I had already changed it through the link in the sticky post, then I installed CWM and it changed the version number. I thought it had put the bad one back on so I reinstalled the version from the thread.
I am so confused.
just leave there your CWM (v4.0.1.4 with revolutionary logo in the background) from sticky post.. i can confirm it's chargning when off and i haven't experienced any problems so far
Can someone who knows for SURE please do a definitive thread on this issue?
There are so many posts and threads with old and conflicting info around, that its too confusing to realise whats going on.
CWM team didnt help this by updating their software, yet giving it the old version number. ...
CWM 4.0.1.5 (the one ROM Manager flashes) has an issue for some users, if you use the phone until the battery dies completely, it will not charge. Use the 08/03/11 4.0.1.4, it has no issues.
I installed ROM manager on my phone and when I tried to back up my ROM, it said I need to flash clockworkrecovery. I thought I already did that, when i rooted my phone and flashed revolutionaryHD 3.0 ... Will I screw things up if I click "ok" when manager prompts me to?

I would just flash CWM again through ROM Manager. That samething happened to me on my NS.

It says that because alpharev recovery it's a different version of recovery. If you want to use rom manager you need to flash the one that it wants. And don't worry, I'm using it and it works
thats what i had to do
The version rom manager will flash has the charging bug. Just boot into recovery and back up from there. Not that hard

Omg I flashed it before I read your comment about the bug... Guess I need to reflash the working one back.

I wouldn't worry about the bug... I'm using that version and I have no problems, I also know people who flashed the "bugless" cwm, and they experienced the charging issue.... Its a case by case scenario, see what works for you... Just make sure you keep your battery from completely dying and monitor charging....

Not sure of the exact reason why your handset does it. But in the early days of development for the Desire HD, this would occur when a custom recovery had been flashed.
The reason behind it was, when your handset was stock, turned off & placed on charge the phone would "boot" into a very basic HTC recovery mode to display the orange or green charging LED. When you replace the stock HTC recovery it simply boots up the recovery you have got installed.

Wow, thanks for the explanation. That makes perfect sense. But I thought that issue had been fixed for the Shift? Sorry, been a few months since I had my Shift so I can't remember if it was ever fixed or we just all stopped complaining about it. Or at least I thought it had been fixed on the recent CM7 nightlies. Maybe one of these good for nothing current Shift owners could put down the crack pipe and chime in here
That has never been a problem with the shift. It's weird that it happens to you cause when I was on cwm touch that never happened. I have no idea how to help

It's a htc charging while off issue only for recovery. The htc charging while off mode was used for the older recovery versions of clockworkmod but has since been depriciated and no longer works for ICS based recoveries like clockworkmod touch. No crack pipe smokers here bud.

Yeah I like flash image gui. The main issue I have with the recovery is that it will boot into recovery but if I don't touch anything it turns itslef back off again after about 5 seconds. It's almost like charging off is somewhat working but not completely. Oh well it's not a big deal for me and I'm very content right now with clockworkmod touch. another good way to flash recovery is in fastboot with the fastboot erase recovery command before flashing it.
Hi all
I have seen this in other posts, but wondered if there was a work-around. I am rooted and running official ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.3.1 (touch). When I turn my phone off and it is charging, it goes to recovery rather than shutting down.
Not a major problem, just a little annoying when you want to charge the phone with it switched off...
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
James

Our phone isn't officially supported by CWM and no work is being done to update it. CWM 5.8.3.1 is hacked together for our phone and has a few bugs like the one your experiencing. You should stop using it and switch to TWRP

I agree. People are familiar with it and are used to it being the go to recovery. I even did that myself.
The reality of the situation is that is causes problems and is buggy, I don't think anyone should be using it on a One S.

Agreed I used it in till TWRP got USB mount and never looked back.
I bought this phone off ebay and I got two batteries. I am wondering if it is just me butt the seller said the battery was a month old and this thing won't last 3 hours off normal continuous use.and sometimes it just shuts off without giveing me a battery message, of any kind (when im doing something battery intensive)
Also before I knew about the chip issues I flashed and all.I used the method on unlockr.com and when I reached the part to get s off the root.sh wouldn't give me s off so some where in the comments I found a g free script ran it in the terminal emulater in the placer of root.sh and then returned to unlocker and continued to flash with visionary.apk and all is well. Flashed a few roms but im itching to flash like hell as that's, what I'm use to, so is it a case where the chip gets worse everytime I flash or can it go any time? Does it have to go?
I have read the posts and just need a little more clarity.

If the chip dies there will be likely be no warning. It will simply fail. Most don't. There are a lot of us with the "bad" eMMC that have flashed hundreds or even thousands of times.
I would flash a new ROM and compare battery life and behavior.

yeah i notied the huge diffrence when i switched to the viper rom........haveing a little trouble finding a compatible kernel that will give me smartass v2 tho.
quick question does a nandroid backup also backup the kernel that i was on when i made the backup?
crap i made a mistake and flashed a wrong kernel(fusion dragon and now the phone dosnt want to boot into recovery). i think the kernel was for the one S i didnt notice that. Anyway i know androids so am not worried about anything except my emmc chip can anyone give me the fastbood instructions to flash the various things on the glacier or are they the same for all phones also. a kernel that i can flash the will work with this viper rom would be nice.
i was trying fastboot flash zip rom.zip and that fails.
was really trying to avoid haveing to flash a PDM15.img but it as that would erase my ext4 recovery which i figure isnt working because the kernel i flashed was not for the phone and being touch based is messed up. so anyone knoe the fastboot commands to flash a rom in its zip form

Download the 4ext recovery image and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then boot into recovery and try flashing the zips. If you can't find the recovery.img, cwm images are available. You can easily switch back to 4ext later.

i already have fastboot flash zip PD5IMG.zip and it worked ok and gave me back clockwork and official sesnse but should flashing an incompatible kernel damaged my recovery? seems flawedish seeing as i always saw recovery mode as my safe heaven. being its a touch recovery i can understand tho. if i had not flashed a eng bootloader i probly would have been screwed now. well lesson learned any info on a kernel that can work with the viper rom android 4.04 sense?

Not sure about the kernel. I can tell you that different devices have different partition setups. The bootloader, system, recovery, etc. don't reside on the same partitions on every device. In fact, doing what you did can cause a hard brick on many devices.
what kernal did you use?
