[Q] Does not power off anymore! - LG Optimus G (International)

I'm using just ARTMOD 5.2.2 and at the same time I also changed recovery, switching to the TWRP (2.8.0.1)
I can no longer charge the battery with the phone turned off:
If it's already off then just plug in the cable the phone turns on again
If I power off the phone while it is charging, rather than turn off it restarts (same thing by powering off from TWRP).
I've tried several cables and chargers.
What is the component that charges the battery from the phone off? One that shows the charging icon with the percentage ... The kernel?
Does anyone have the same problem?
thanks

As far as I understand from what was discussed before about this topic, this is the issue with the unlocked bootloader, and is not related to a particular ROM or recovery. I have the same issue - the phone can't stay off when charging. Doesn't bother me much, frankly...

Thanks for your reply.
This makes sense even if the behavior varies depending on the rom / recovery installed.
I do a search on the subject but if you have a good link...

I hazard a guess that it has something to do with your TWRP 2.8.0.1 install---if you unpack recovery.img, under \ramdisk\res\images, you will find the offline charger icons stored in a directory called charger. I've heard rumors that 2.8.0.1 is somewhat problematic.
Have you tried to flash an earlier version of TWRP to see if the behavior repeats, such as TWRP-2.6.3.0_E975_MR.zip (google it and you'll find the download; apparently I am not allowed to post outside links)?
Personally, I am running an unlocked bootloader (z30d), TWRP 2.6.3.0, PA 4.5 BETA4 with faust93's experimental Franco kernel. Offline charging works fine.
Hope it helps and good luck.

[Q] [Problem] Reboots after disconnecting phone from charger/USB

Hey guys,
I have a very annoying and reproducible problem with my Desire. Everytime I connect the phone via USB (no matter if dock, laptop, wall) it reboots ~2 seconds after removing the USB cable from the phone.
I have had this problem for about 2 weeks now, across 4 or 5 Custom Roms (Sense and Non-Sense) and right now I am on CM6.1 Nightly 214.
It just annoys the crap out of me, for example when I got the Desire in the dock next to my desk and I receive a call, I can only accept the call handsfree, because removing it from the dock would cause a reboot and I would lose the call...
Please give me some kinda advice, I just flashed the latest radio and it worked twice without rebooting and now I'm back to square 1.
All the best,
Paul
Sounds like a faulty battery or some kind of defect at the power supply.
I suggest you try this with another battery, maybe from a friend.
You should check the usb connector on the phone too for some sort of deformation or smudge.
I thought that it could be the usb cable you are using, but since it does the same with the dock, it's not it.
The easiest and the most not likely way to fix it is with the calibration of the battery, if you have luck maybe it's just the OS that errs.
Thanks for your thoughts on my problem. Right now I am waiting for an important call but I got a spare battery from a friend of mine already and will later check and see if the problem occurs with the spare battery as well.
But the other point you mentioned was a calibration of the battery: how exactly do I do that? Just AmonRA Wipe Battery Stats or are you talking about another method?
Cheers for the advice!
this is for the calibration of your battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
Hi, hope it works with the other battery, otherwise you'll have to send it for repair.
The battery thing I mentioned, has a minimal chance of working, but at least when I am desperate I try things that have even the smallest chance of fixing it. So in essence the process is: charge untill full when powered on; disconnect charger (which will automatically reboot your phone in your case);
don't let it boot, enter hboot for example and turn it off; then charge till full again; now boot into recovery wipe stats; and finally just boot into android.
Another thing worth checking I think is the pins where the battery connects to the phone, they should look clean (I wipe pins with rubber for a pencil) and intact.
Edit:Well seems like Marios already posted a link but mine is specific for your situation
did you solve the problem?
i have the same thing... very strange.
calibrating the battery didn't help.
No, I still haven't found a solution. Strangely though, it doesn't reboot anymore if I charge it via USB on my laptop. On my desktop and via the wall charger it still reboots every time I unplug it. Sorry I can't be of more help
my phone reboots when disconnecting from my laptop too.
even when in recovery, very strange...
have you tried to try the unbricking process with the misc.img?
Actually, I haven't tried that one. Can you give me a link to what you're talking about?
IT WORKED!
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
just flashed the update.zip and i can copy the files to/from my laptop using the usb cable.
and it doesn't reboot when unpluging too
Got the same issue, tried modaco´s workaround, same thing... it started happening after i flashed CWM3.0x wich reovery do u use?
gonna try flashing Ra again and see what happens....
Solved It
Like i said, happened after flashing cw3.x finnaly i got home, flashed RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM again, then flashed update.zip from modaco´s thread, and for now it stoped....
just gonna see what happens when the battery get fully charged....
EDIT: Fully charged 4192mV removed it, and.... nothing happened...
Unfortunately it didn't work for me. Now my phone freezes every now and then when I unplug it
EDIT: IT WORKED, IT WORKED!!!
congrats

NICE....
How did u solved it, u never know.....
I tried all things listed in this thread and some more, too.
But, it still reboots when removing from power supply (pc connection works now).
Perhaps you tried some things not listed here?
I am not sure when the problem started for me.
I installed cm7 nightlies with no reboot-problem, also switched from alpharev1.5 to alpharev1.8 and from cwm2 to cwm3.
All in a few days.
Somewhere along these days the problem appeared.
Btw.:
I got reboots on both kinds of usb connections (PC/power supply).
Debugging connection (adb, fastboot) worked.
Accessing the phone as usb storage device worked, too.
So this may be a little bit different from the cases described in the thread.
To solve the issue, I tried several things:
First I restored older backups (versions of cm7) with no success.
Then I restored my last backup of cm6 nightly from just before cm7, and it didn't work either.
As I was 100% sure that this worked before, I now concentrated on the remaining parts, recovery and boot loader.
So I first tried downgrading to clockworkmod2.
Then I tried updating to a newer alpharev1.8 (as it was a little bit newer than my installed version).
After finding this thread, I became a little happier again...
I applied the fastboot oem ... thingy (hmm, what does it do exactly?).
Then I calibrated my battery, which seemed to work well, as it shows 99% now, which it didn't before.
And at the end I installed the fixmisc-update.zip as linked above.
Between each step I checked if the issue disappeared.
Nothing of those steps completely solved the problem.
However, when disconnecting from PC, the reboots don't appear anymore, so at least something has changed.
So, powlemann, ferreinf and others being successful with the steps above, which configurations do you use now?
Can you tell me which change solved the issue for you?
Do you use alpharev1.5 or 1.8 (and the later from which date) or none of them?
Did you install cwm3 again after solving the problem and did the problem re-appear?
Good News for you, hg42!
I am 99% sure you can fix the problem when first flashing AmonRA recovery and then do Mocados Usb Brick rickrolled.
Do you know how to flash a different recovery?
I fixed it with modaco's zip, that was very annoying!!

[Q] DHD switches on after connecting charger. How to avoid?

Strange issue ive got with my DHD. When my phone is switched off and i connecting ac charger it automaticaly switches on and get into Clockwork Reocvery...
Is it normal behavior, and if yes how to avoid it?

the second stage of charging is just to ensure that phone is at 100% when battery stats are deleted, the phone will charge in recovery (don't believe me install QtADB and you can watch it from the phone info pane) so complete the second stage with the phone in recovery then proceed as per instructions.
BTW the reason for recovery coming up, is HTC use the recovery partition to power up the charging light on the DHD when it is turned off, so it's trying to replicate this behaviour but Clockwork recovery doesn't play ball
Any update on the battery trick in this state?

[Q] S-OFF succeeded, with a charging problem

Hi,
Yesterday I had my G7 s-offed using Alpharev 1.8. Now it's running with the Sense MTD, Clockworkmod 2.5.1.7 recovery, and MIUI 1.2.25 rom. It is great, but with one side effect. Whenever the phone runs out of battery and automatically turns off, it won't boot up when being charged. And even if I unplug the charger, the white charging animation continues and it still can not be turned on - the only solution is to pull the battery.
Before s-off, my G7 has been rooted using Unrevoked and running with Clockworkmod (2.5.0.1 modified by MIUI) and the MIUI rom for months. Whenever the phone powered down and got charged, it booted into the recovery, from where I can start the phone.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks a lot!
Have you tried flashing another ROM to see if the problem is still there?
You might want to search on usb brick and see if that is your problem ?

Yes, also flashed CM7RC4. And someone having the same problem said he flashed a lot of different ROMs to no avail.
It seems to me how the phone reacts to the charger when powered down should be controlled by HBOOT rather than the operating system, i.e. the rom.
Thanks for the suggestion

My phone is working fine except the charging problem. So I guess it's totally different from 'usb brick'. But it may be a good idea to have a look when I have time

Solved: Power Down reboots into Recovery

Installed CWM Recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8.img) using Fastboot,
and then installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
then took a nandroid backup.
Booted into Android - no problems.
But now :
- when I power down it reboots straight into CWM Recovery.
- when I select the advanced options of CWM Recovery / Power Down,
it reboots into CWM Recovery.
- when I select Fastboot/Power Down it also reboots into CWM Recovery.
From CWM Recovery I can
Boot System Now
and it boots into the system,
But when I power down, it reboots again into CWM Recovery.
ie, I can't power down.
The above only happens if a power or usb cable is connected.
If no power cable is connected, it shuts down normally.
But, if after it is fully shut down, I connect a power cable,
it again boots, by itself, into CWM Recovery !!
Notes:
- A restart from Android does an actual restart into the phone OS, not into CWM Recovery.
- if I turn back on Power/Fastboot, then I can shutdown properly even with power connected,
so the problem happens when Fastboot is off.
Anybody have any idea what is causing this
and what I can do about it?
some things I can think of trying
but I don't want to make things worse.
Have done this before on a Galaxy Nexus with no problems,
and have put CyM on an S3 with no problems.

Well I haven't had this happen to me ever so, not sure how much help I'll be but...
Have you tried reflashing CWM? Perhaps clear the cache? Try to flash TWRP and see if it does the same, can always flash CWM again afterwards.

Yes, me neither.
My next step was the same as your suggestions,
a system reset, clear cache etc and to try flashing TWRP.
My worry is this powering on to recovery when I plug in the cable.
I was hoping to understand that a bit before trying too many things.
It is easier to make things worse than better!

Don't think a system reset is necessary just yet. First try to clear the cache and re-flashing CWM to see what it does. If nothing then you can try TWRP to see if it does the same thing.
Have you tried searching for a similar problem in the CWM thread if it's recovery related?

I also just noticed the version number for the CWM you're using, are you sure that's the right version? What device variant are you using, International, Verizon etc?

philz_touch_6.26.6-m8.img
philz_touch_6.41.6-m8.img

A system reset is no problem. I already did one before starting, and it is new. So no data/apps to lose.
Yes, spent about 6 hours searching last night. Haven't come across anything like it.
Plus, there doesn't seem to be a CWM thread for the HTC One M8 - there are threads for TWRP and Philz (CWM Advanced).

I'm not using philz, I'm using standard CWM:

Well it seems we're back to square one then, erase cache.
Hook up device to PC, go into fastboot, adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
If it doesn't work then try another recovery, Philz or TWRP. Did you want to flash CM hence why you followed their tutorial?

I always read about 20 tutorials first: some are vague, some unreliable, some incomplete, some assume you have more experience, to make sure I fully understand what I have to do.
I chose CWM because I've used it before on a Galaxy Nexus and an S3 and it has been reliable.
I will install Cyanogenmod as soon as it goes to Stable for the M8. I have it on the S3 and am over-the-moon happy with it. However that could be a year.
Might wait a day before I try flashing TWRP. See if I can discover more, or if anyone has an insight to offer. I mean, why would it boot when you plug in the power cable?! Too strange to not be cautious.

HTC Desire S same problem as you also CWM recovery.

Tossed in plenty of keywords into google, of course doing it normally gives a lot of results from other sites too but I just decided to narrow it down to xda(Most sites refer help questions to xda anyways so...)
I think it's better to use Google for searches anyways, it records info from a lot of sites. XDA works on a "keyword" basis it seems and most people when making threads don't really add any keywords to it so finding it is difficult. Heck, I even had issues finding HTC__622 in a thread where I knew for a FACT HTC__622 was mentioned at least 4 times, the results in xda itself turned up nothing.
I didn't even bother to try and search within xda for this issues, went the Google route and narrowing it down to xda, much better :good:
Back to the issue though, it would still be interesting to know what actually causes it to boot into recovery when it gets plugged in, it's strange and I'm curious about it. I also think flashing either Philz or TWRP should help, there are quite a few people on here using Philz and I can't recall an issue like this being mentioned before so perhaps it's not a problem with Philz.

Thanks. I did try an XDA search from G, but you are just better at it
There is code that gets executed when you plug in the power cable:
it shows the battery charging.
The battery charging icon that is showing just before boot into CWM recovery is different from the normal battery charging icon (that I can see when I have settings /power / fastboot on).
I wonder if CWM changes that code? If that is the case, flashing TWRP might not fix it - will soon know.

3. but then the TWRP screen appears and disappears.
4. For about 2 secs the TWRP screen may flash back briefly
before returning to the green battery icon with the backlight.
5. Then it settles on the green battery icon,
and the backlight stays on for about 10 secs.
6. then the screen switches off
and it really appears to be powered off.​
But if I quickly 'touch' the power button
the TWRP screen briefly appears (with a lock over it) once
and then the green battery screen reappears.
If I unplug then replug in power,
the same things happens: steps 1-6 above.
Tried flashing TWRP 3 times - no change.
Will now try flashing philz.

Philz does exactly the same as CWM - not surprising given that it is CWM based.
So have returned to TWRP, which is at least usable.
Any idea how to file a bug against CWM?

Well removing the red development purposes text is easy enough if you have S-OFF. Remove Red Text on Splash screen
I'm not sure if the same issue with CWM is applicable to all or most users of Philz on here, like I said before, I haven't noticed any threads popping up discussing the issue, unless they discussed it in Philz thread itself.
I myself haven't noticed the issue you have with TWRP, will look into it more as I get some time, gonna be a hectic week Personally I only use custom recovery when I need it, which isn't that often, not a big "flasher" of ROMs etc, so I'm on stock recovery.

Yes, found the post for Remove Red Text on Splash screen early this morning. Seems to be related to Root, and separate from the TWRP issue.
I have to wonder if the TWRP problems aren't caused by the initial flashing of CWM. Anyway will post the issue on the TWRP forum tomorrow and see what they say.
Seems Philz has had this problem before, it comes from CWM, and fixed it before.
I have to say, this is the last HTC phone I buy - Samsungs are so much friendlier to flashing. Also I greatly dislike the big Tampered sign.
Reason for flashing recovery this time is I wanted root so I could remove garbage from the phone.
I don't flash ROMs much. High learning curve and risky. I do just one flash: from stock to CyangenMod. so much nicer it is worth it. I have to say if I had to choose between my old S3 with CyanogenMod and a stock M8, it would be the S3. If I can't get the garbage off the M8, I will just put it in a drawer till CyM goes stable for it.

I'm running CM11 on my M8 and use TWRP 2.7.1.0 as my recovery,
the problem is, when I charge my phone when turned off, it boots straight into TWRP, without me pressing volume down or something.
Then the screen flickers between TWRP and the charging screen, which is really annoying.
anytime I turn on the phone to check the battery status, it reboots into TWRP.
Is there a way to fix this?
I can't use stock recovery because I need TWRP in order to update CM11 nightlies.
I've googled about it but I haven't found ANYTHING :/
Far as I know, its a known issue for a long time, and don't know why TWRP hasn't been fixed.
Not really a solution, but why charge the phone with power off at all? I just about never turn my phone off. The only reason I noticed this at all was by mere chance. I think the phone had powered off during the root/s-off process, and that is the only time I've noticed this bug.
Have you tried CWM?
I give it a try.
Is this the correct file? http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m8.img
I flashed CWM, the issue still exists!
Same issue as stated above. I wonder if Philz Recovery works better. Ill probably give that a try later.

Anyone find a solution yet? Also seems to make the battery level jump around when you turn it on and off during charging.
What ever it may be the best recovery is TWRP for me anyways. For me I had several issues with CWM, like flashing and installing of ROMS.
Well I too have this bug but its not a great scene. Adjustable
