Hey, I rooted, s-off/hbooted my phone and used Clockworkmod to install a ROM.
Now it won't go away no matter what I've tried and I want to be able to turn my phone off and charge it without seeing that annoying recovery screen.
I've backed up all my apps on to SD, wiped data and factory resetted with CWM and the phones built in factory reset yet it still comes back to haunt me.
What do I need to do to make this go away and revert my phone back to it's original out of box state?
CWM should come with an uninstall guide and a notice of how annoying this is, I see it's quite a widespread problem for everyone trying to calibrate the battery with no clear answer
Install the correct HTC RUU for your desire hd.

Much appreciated, you get my first thanks.
For anyone else in need here's where I got mine (every other ROM and RUU is there too)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868610
Just to be sure, can I just put the RUU on my storage card and use CWM recovery to install it?
Thanks for the.. thanks lol
I don't know but it really doesn't matter, better if you flash it from bootloader. If you were eng hboot s-off then your dhd will become 100% stock (if you installed the correct htc ruu). If you were radio s-off you will still have s-off afterwards. I don't think this affects warrentee issues as long as you have installed the correct rom.
On another note, I am sure I read somewhere some instructions on how to calibrate your battery and fix this problem. But you may have to do a little searching for it.

even on stock the phone goes into recovery anyway just it don't show the recovery screen. reason it does so i've read is for the led light to come on lol
spookamiester that link just brings you back to this thread so i've placed a link to all HD files and it has all the RUU files there

Maybe I am being simple but I see this posted everywhere as a problem, it in no way affects battery calibration, yes when the phone is turned off and plugged in it boots into recovery (it also does this with the stock ROM) so what? It's still charging and from CW you can then wipe the battery stats which is required to complete your calibration anyway.
What exactly is the problem with it booting into CW when turned off and plugged in
and to answer the question, reflash with the appropriate RUU
Or just flash recovery.img from a stock rom
Is the s-off that stops the receiving of OTA's ?

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for the responses, should be able to get things sorted now.
In response to the charging in CWM, I tried it for over an hour after full charge on and the LED remained amber, I turned the phone back on and the battery was at 99% which leads me to believe that it doesn't actually charge in CWM recovery, I tried this on stock and within 10 minutes after full charge on I got the green light off. I've asked in other threads if anyone can confirm the phone charge whilst in CWM but so far no confirmation, just similar results.
I'll keep my eyes pealed for answers but I don't think it works with CWM and can't find a way to charge whilst off without CWM recovery popping up.

I have spent quite a while in recovery and I am fairly sure it's charging I wouldnt be surprised that the green led didn't function though? I don't really see how it wouldn't charge surely it a hardware thing when the power is attached?
Update: I use QtADB to give a GUI interface to ADB, have spent the past 15 minutes monitoring the battery state whilst in Clockwork recovery and it is most defintetly charging so you needn't worry about that
I bought the phone from Hong Kong with stock ROM. Rooted, S-Off and installed CWM but never flashed any ROM. But I have same the problem, screen will boot to recovery when I want to charge. I found there are a lot of DHD guys have the same problem here in China or Hong Kong..... and no solution found in any forum here yet. Some said it's a bug on CWM.
Anyway. I found an alternative myself. Instead of using the DHD original charger, I used the I9000 charger to charge the DHD. It worked perfectly (100% charged) and no recovery screen appeared so far......
Hey guys!
I have the original Desire HD stock ROM but I have clockwork mod recovery.
Could you guys provide a step by step guide on how to remove and replace with original recovery image?
I would really appreciate all the help!

I have a file recovery.img. How do I flash it to the DHD?
I'd like to know this as well. I have the Clockwork bootloader installed. It's OK, but I changed my mind - I'd like to keep this phone as close as possible to factory-standard and use a different phone for hacking. Is there a step-by-step guide to reverting a DHD back to normal so I can benefit from the regular OTA updates?
Thanks!
Reflashing the ruu is the hard and long way.
Just download the stock recovery.img which west2cool was good enough to post for me. (Cheers again I didn't really feel like installing windoze just for that).
Then use fastboot - "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

And make sure it is FASTBOOT mode. Flashing fails otherwise (unless I did something stupid).
Sorry, I'm a newb at this.
When I boot by doing vol-down + pwr I get a mainly white screen with three Androids skateboarding at the bottom. At the top it says
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0007
The top option is "FASTBOOT", so I press pwr once to select that.
Next I see four options:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I do not see an option to reflash a recover image.
If I go into "RECOVERY", I see the green text on a black background of ClockworkMod v2.5.1.3. There is an option to apply an update.zip, however that's clearly not the same thing as I was instructed to do.
Detailed step by step instructions would be much appreciated!
THANKS!
I'm resurrecting my laptop with ubuntu 10.10 x64 right now (so I can build gingerbread) so can't help until later. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will up a proper set if instructions along with the links you will need once my laptop is fully functional again.

Ok buddy, my lappy lives again
1. Download the recovery.zip posted earlier on in the thread.
2. Extract recovery.img from the recovery.zip (best to extract it somewhere easy like a new folder called c:\fastboot)
3. Download fastboot from here. http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2
4. Make sure fastboot.exe and recovery.img are in the same directory (e.g. c:\fastboot)
5. Reboot your phone as you did before (while holding vol down + power)
6. Select fastboot and push the power button
7. Plug your phone into your computer - it should change the message to "FASTBOOT USB"
8. Open a terminal (push start button and type in "cmd" to get one if you don't know how).
9. Type "cd c:\fastboot" and press enter.
10. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
11. You should see a message which says something like sending ... send complete ... done.
12. To test: Push the power button on your phone once, push volume down once to highlight recovery, push power button. It should boot you to a screen with a red triangle.
13. Push vol up + power button to bring up the stock recovery menu
14. Push power button to reboot
Hopefully thats detailed enough
i have purchased a 2nd hand desire z from someone, i noticed it has clockwork and rom manager installed, i think it also has super user rights. I also noticed that the rom is Virtuous 1.0.1. Thinking this meant that the phone was already rooted, i used rom manager to download and install CM7, however it caused the phone to be semi bricked, then i also realised that the phone was also S-ON.
Fortunately i managed to reboot the phone into CWM and restored the previous image, so now the question is, what is wrong?
PS. new to this whole android thingy..
hmmm... sounds like MAYBE you had a temp root?? Is you had superuser you definitely had some form of root, however, i am not sure you can flash a new rom if you dont have S-off (but i could be TOTALLY wrong here)
I have an Evo (and dont have this temp root issue), but i am helping a friend with a similar problem with his G2.
Can you get into recovery? (while phone is off, hold the volume down and power on the phone) If you can, do you have Clockwork recovery or stock android (says 3e at the top i think)?? If you have CW, just enable USB, download a CM7 through your computer, put it on your SD and flash it. SHould be good to go.
If you have stock recovery and S-on.. WELCOME TO MY BOAT... I am trying to find a solution to this for my friends phone. If i figure it out, i can let you know (please do the same??)
I am having the same problem, with the same rom. I can use all root apps, but it says S is ON? I can't put any other rom on my phone with out it going into boot loop or just staying on, HTC screen. Some one please help us, I know there are many phone guru's on this site. Any help would be over the top. O-yeah and I can not get the wifi to connect either says error or turns it self off after scanning? Please please please help. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I don't found any recovery without offmode charge for the battery.
I have try:

Please send me a version with the offmode charge FIX!

No any solutionS?
There is no Clockworkmod Recovery for the Wildfire yet, which fixes this bug.
Hi,
It is possible to create a custom recovery with offmode charging?
From what I understand this thread help to get that (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12513699&postcount=3).

You can, but, there is a bug by which you will not be able to switch on the phone anymore. The orange LED will be lit even if you disconnect the charger and the phone will be unresponsive. Solution - Pull out battery, reinsert and restart, or, Press Power + Vol Down + Trackpad (?) simultaneously to reboot.
Hi
Someone can tell me if it is possible to extract a recovery image?

Thanks for the reply,
I already view that thread.
What i want it's not the custom recovery. I want to modify my CWM recovery.
Just want to try add the images of the battery to the offmode charging.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443994
With this i extract the ramdisk and kernel of recovery but i'm have a problem with the re-pack of the image.
Anyone know if that is possible in this device?
None of the RUU has this feature.
tl;dr: Apparently, I can't charge my phone with CWM 5.8.3.1. I need 30% to recover my HTC One X.
(I found the solution. See at the end)
So I bricked my phone.
I need to use the RUU to recover it. To use the RUU, I need at least 30% of battery.
I can boot to hboot, fastboot, recovery and HTC white screen.
I installed CWM 5.8.3.1.
On hboot and fastboot, it doesn't seem to charge.
On the HTC screen, I see the red light, but after a while, it just shuts down (empty batter I guess).
On revocery (CWM 5.8.3.1), after ~20 minutes, it shuts down (no red light while in recovery).
The max I can get is 3698mV (from fastboot getvar battery-voltage).
Then `fastboot getvar battery-status` tells me "low" (sometimes "good" for a couple of minutes).
I tried charging with the HTC charger (socket) and with my computer.
Questions:
- any alternative method to charge my phone?
- how much is 30%? I think 3690mV is 20%.
- is it a know problem that some phones can't charge even with WM 5.8.3.1?
- how can I know, for sure, that my phone is charging? Is using `fastboot getvar battery-voltage` the right way to do it?
Solution:
1) Make sure to have CWM 5.8.3.1. You don't need to be in recovery mode to charge. But you need CWM.
2) unplug the phone. switch off the phone via the fastboot menu. Do it twice if it reboots
3) plug your phone once off. Wait 3 hours. (red light). It works because your have CWM 5.8.3.1 installed.
In the meantime, run the RUU software (but don't click on any button). Find the rom.zip file somewhere in %TEMP%.. Extract boot_signed.img and recovery_signed.img (you need to use 7zip)
4) after 3 hours, your phone should be > 4000mV
5) fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
6) fastboot flash boot recovery_signed.img
7) relock your phone: fastboot oem lock
8) Use the RUU software
9) get a beer.
Sorry to hear that.
Post the same in the official cwm thread, so someone can help you.

HELP
i have an HTC one X+ 64g (if that matters) US version. The problem I am having is I recently dropped it and when I must have knocked something lose inside of the charging port. I know that it has the pogo pin charging option for the international version ( supposedly slightly larger than US version) and the only dock with pogo pins i can find is for that version. I need to know if there is a Pogo pin charge dock for the version I have and if not what are the 5 little connectors on back for and is there an alternate charging method? PLEASE HELP ME!
P.S Has anyone else with the HTC one x experienced the problem with noise cancelling speaker?? My phone only worked on speaker, from what I have read it was a pretty common problem with the phone.

Hello there,
I just rooted and flashed a custom recovery to my S3 today. Afterwards, I installed CyanogenMod through the CWM recovery and rebooted, however,after the reboot the device powered off completely. Now when I try to turn on the device I get a grey battery icon with a static circle on it, and it does not proceed any further. I cannot access recovery mode or even get to the Samsung loading screen. Plugging the device into the wall charger doesn't seem to be doing anything as it has been 'charging' for over 30 minutes and still does not power on. I've been scouring the net for hours looking for answers, but the few people who seem to have the same problem have not found any sort of resolution. There are all sorts of tricks people are suggesting such as putting your battery in and plugging the cable in, vice versa..etc but nothing seems to work. The phone was working just fine and the battery still had a good 30-40% charge when this happened. Does anyone know what the issue could be? I cannot even get it serviced because I had JUST rooted/custom recovery'd it when this happened, so just my luck with that. If anyone could help me it would mean a lot. Thank you for reading.

Mike

Hello there,
Thanks for the reply. I followed the instructions as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179330
The CWM mod version I got from following Step 2 of that guide, which led me to this: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html
Afterwards, everything seemed to be working fine, so I grabbed a copy of the official CM latest nightly for my device, wiped/factory reset, and installed the ROM + gapps. After I reboot, the phone shut off, and this has been going on since. I am able to get into download mode, as I have just discovered, but I cannot get into recovery mode or turn the phone on past this mysterious grey battery icon.

Now the issue remains, is there any way to install CM 10~ on this device? I cannot find a proper version of CWM aside from the 'universal' one which I mentioned above, however, if I try and flash any version of CM using that recovery, it gives me a Status 7 error, which people say is due to an old recovery version. Any idea as to where I can find a working (new) version of CWM for this device?

I've solved the issue. Thanks for all the help.
The problem was that apparently I had an outdated bootloader which wasn't compatible with newer versions of CM and CWM. I installed the new bootloader from a thread here in the S3 forums and then flashed a new version of CWM and managed to get CM running.
I'm having new, unrelated issues now, but I'm sure I will be able to solve those.
Thanks again
