cause it isn't actually a fix, either unroot or live with clockwork recovery coming on when the phone is powered down.
for now anyway.

Try to enable "fastboot". This is how I got it to work for me.

This only started to happen when I got my extended battery. Go figure.

[Q] ClockWork Recovery Issue

When TBolt is turned off and plugged in to the charger or the USB cable from PC. It turns on the phone and starts Clockwork Recovery.
I know this has been brought up before and I just wanted to know if there is something we can do about it? Or is this just something we have to live with
I have read that enabling fast boot has fixed it for some.

Just charge it with the power on, I never turn off the power when I charge.

[Question] Charge Mode?

I cannot seem to get my phone to just go into charge only mode. I haven't been able to for a while, is there a fix for this?

If you're talking about what I think you are, go to Settings, Applications, Development and uncheck Stay Awake. I had the same problem and that seemed to have fixed it.

This will allow for me to turn the phone off and plug in the charger and the phone will go into the "Charging" mode instead of booting up... mine just sits on the motor logo and never goes into that mode... I am using tenfars newest recovery and beta 4 gingerbread... not sure if those could affect this charging mode...

My guess is either 2.3.4 (i'm on the "ota" version and you're on hktw) or being unlocked.
Leaning towards unlock... but who knows. Anyone unlocked not on 2.3.4 have this issue?
Better question. Why are you turning it off to charge it? Just plug it in.

Sometimes u drain your battery to the point it shuts off. And sometimes you want a quicker charge. I don't think he needs to validate why though...
i had the same problem. i would drain the battery accidentally, plug the phone into the charger, and it would hang on the moto logo. i would have to pull the battery after letting it charge for a while and it would boot up.
i'm almost certain all you have to do is go into System Recovery and click on charge mode. i don't think it matters if your phone is plugged in or not. just give it time to reboot on its own.
I am not using the old version of tenfar, I removed that app after putting on the new recovery. I recall the last time I used it though I definitely used the charge mode...

Thanks but system recovery charge mode didn't work either and yea battery pull is and turning it it on without being plugged in is the only way to boot it.
i'm thinking its the unlock. Prior to unlocking I've never experienced such issues before.

Phone acting weird then doesn't boot or charge

So I have a evo lte that has been unlocked. Flashed the custom viper rom... After 2 weeks, the phone started acting weird today. I booted into recovery to wipe dalvik and cache. Then the phone started going crazy. Rebooted a few times and now it's a brick. Can't turn on or charge. Tried hard reset and combination of buttons to boot into bootloader. Nothing works. Any idea?

Ahh okay, then my idea of just smashing it and getting a new one probably wouldn't help much.
Hopefully someone can come up with something useful. I hope it gets worked out for you.

hmm...
read somewhere that putting the phone in the freezer would work.
i left the phone in the freezer for 5 mins and it turned on... But after 1-2 mins it should shut off again and not allow me to boot. any help?
how long have you left it on the charger? are you using the 1A HTC charger or a different one? when mine has shut off due to low battery and i've tried to charge it at someone else's house using an old micro-USB charger it would take HOURS before it would even show the light and allow it to be turned on. the light would occasionally blink but that was it. turns out the charger was a 180mA charger... you said you're overseas, maybe it's a power issue.
myself and a few other members have had this issue! i wasnt rooted but i had the issue of it not turning on or charging. i took it to the sprint store and they gave me a band new evo. =p

Has nothing to do with the charger. I always charge with the oem charger.

Try letting the phone die completely..once dead plug into charger and see if it starts lighting up. If it does, attempt to boot into recovery. Best of luck!

Can't even turn on the phone. If I put it in the freezer for a few min, it would boot. Recovery says 75%charged. But it would shut off by itself after a minute

Phone does not stay off when charging

So I have the dreaded security warning issue from a botched unroot effort. I've been trying to fix it but my battery also needs charging. Only problem is that I can't seem to plug my phone in to a wall charger or a computer to charge without the phone turning on by itself. Does anyone know a way around this other than using someone else's phone to charge the battery then swapping?

I remember that being a problem with a certain version of Clockwork Mod Recovery. You will have to search to find a version that doesn't do that. Or use 4EXT.

This really isn't an option for me as all the phone will do is boot into hboot. I can choose power down from the menu, but then phone will simply boot right up again by itself.

Leave it plugged in to the wall. Take the battery right out of it.

I remember having to plug mine into the wall and let it keep boot looping until it finally stored enough power to boot normally. After that I switched to 4ext and haven't looked back.

I is Teh Bricked?

So, I'm at work and I am unable to use my phone. Phone will not power on, I've held the power button for well over a minute in the hopes that it would restart but nothing. I was using the phone just fine today with no hiccups. I've tried charging the phone, but the light will not appear, so it does not seem to be charging. I've also removed the SIM Card, nothing as well. I've tried plugging it into a computer to see if it would sync, and yet again, nothing.
Any solutions?
I'm using the newest P.A.C. ROM, not even overclocked

I've looked at the phone under the brightest bulbs we have here, no indication of any of the sensors lighting up. It's really strange. I've been tinkering with ROMS for several years now and nothing like this has ever happened to me. You would think at least one of the sensors would light up.
Power is what I meant there, try booting into recovery from there

I can't boot up the phone, it's neither charging or booting or giving me any indication that it's alive.

Use a multimeter, if you dont have one youll need to find someone with the same phone and test with his.battery.

plug it in to an ac charger not usb let it charge for a few hours then unplug it and hold power or power+volume down under a bright light.

your reply is not helpful. if you dont have anything helpful to say then what is the point of posting. other people have had this exact problem and their phone came back on after charging for a while. this is not what xda is we are a community that helps each other

I do not have a multimeter, I use to have one. When I get home I will use my standard wall socket charger and if nothing happens it is most definitely a hardware issue. Hopefully my AT&T store is open tomorrow and they can help me address the issue. If I get it on before then I will update this thread with a solution.
What caused this to happen?
