I tried posting this questions, but as it's my first it won't allow me to post in that section. So my apologies in advance.
I cannot turn the phone off completely, if I try to turn the phone off through QuickBoot, or though the native power/lock button and select Power Off, it still reboots. Also, if I plug into a wall jack and turn the phone off for faster charging, it goes into the recovery screen with options for installing a new ROM etcetera.
How do I uninstall Tenwar's CWM? Or is there something else I can do to get the phone to turn off entirely?
Thanks in advance guys.

When going into Recovery mode there is no option for Charge Mode. Here are the options available (version 2.5.1.8)
-Reboot System Now
-Apply SDCARD :update.zip
-Apply SDINTERNAL :update.zip
-Wipe DATA/Factory reset
-Wipe Cache partition
-Install zip from SDCARD
-Backup & restore
-Mounts & Storage
-Advanced - (no option for charge mode in this sub menu)
-++++++Go Back++++++
Please let me know where I can find this, and thanks again.
get into the phone. Make sure you have a home screen with your widgets/apps/shortcuts, whatever. Go to the app drawer, choose the app that says "System Recovery". Once inside the app, click "Charge Mode". The phone may restart. Problem solved.

There is no icon that ready "System Recovery" in the app drawer or in Settings > Manage Apps.
As someone rather new to Adroid and GingerBlur, is there anywhere else I should be looking? I have Titanium Backup and QuickBoot if that matters at all. I don't know if those affect the System Recovery at all.
if you have cwm installed you have that icon in the app drawer. If you uninstalled it, reinstall it.
Will do. Thanks!
Hi so I just rooted my evo 3d yesterday ( htc method ) then flashed a rom and it was working , and today when i flashed another rom , it doesnt work and i got stuck in the boot screen , when i go to bootloader it doesn't help , all it says is to do a update and when i do it reboots but nothing happen , is there anyone who can help me ASAP?
Basically you soft-bricked your phone, no worry though that can be easily reverted.

This should answer your problem, I had the exact same problem before.
This way you can flash the Stock RUU and revert back to stock, reroot, and reflash if you wish.
Edit: By Bootscreen I assume you mean the HTC Splash screen.
(Make sure you read the description of the video by the way.)
tnx for your reply but i can't access my fast boot...
What exactly can you access? Can you get into your bootloader at least? If you can get into that you should be able to boot into your recovery and fix it from there.
If you can't access your bootloader you could...
Remove Cover > Remove Battery > Wait 5 Seconds > Reinsert battery > Replace cover > Hold Volume down + Power and see if you can get into bootloader.
i can get to there , but the only thing it shows up is do you want to start update? (vol up) yes (vol down) no , when i press yes it does something and reboots but nothing happens , when i press no it says press power to reboot...
I'm currently running slim rom's 4.2.1 JB rom for my vibrant. I want to get rid of JB because i've suffered way too much under the mediaserver battery drain. I'm trying to to go back to the stock but i can't because everytime i try to reboot my phone in Download mode, it takes me back to the CWM recovery option instead of the yellow android digger sign. I can't enable usb debugging because that option is NOT AVAILABLE anywhere on my phone with slim rom. What do i do? i can't stand my battery lasting only 5 hours again.

First: JB does not support reboot to Download mode. You have to shut it down and use the finger combo to boot to Download
Second: In you JB ROM goto Settings > About Phone > Tap "Build number" about 5 or 6 times. This will enable developer mode in settings and will let you turn debugging on.
Have fun

Thank you for the developer mode enabler , i was looking for that both on my One X and my Nexus 7
Hi, android noobie here, I have a rooted m8 that keeps rebooting after updating the at&t software.
I get the pop up that says AT&T software is available. If I clicked on continue it reboots to teamwin during boot up and once i reboot to system it just reboots itself every 30 secs or so.
I had to do a factory reset just to get my phone working again. But now the update screen is popping up again and I have to keep it under 35% so it doesn't auto update and keep pressing remind me later.
How do I disable this auto update? or is there an easier way to make the phone go back to stock since I really don't have any use of a rooted device besides watching MLB games...
Thanks for the help.

If I'm not mistaken, you would need to un-root your phone prior to installing any OTA Updates from AT&T. Also, you should only install the OTA Updates while using the stock recovery. So, you should re-flash the stock recovery and then attempt to complete the OTA Update. After that, you could re-install TeamWin, re-root and prosper.

Good rule of thumb, do not install OTA updates on any modded Android device, without at a minimum doing thorough research on what will happen.
Depending on the device and the update in question, attempt to install an OTA on a modded device will remove root, possibly plug existing exploits (and render the phone unable to be rooted), or put you in a boot loop (as you have experienced).
In particular, OTAs require stock recovery in order to install. So if you have custom recovery installed, this is why the OTA install is failing (and why it keeps booting into TWRP).
Also, there is little (if anything) contained in the OTAs that doesn't get posted in a safe format (flashed from custom recovery) in the Development section soon after the OTAs start to roll out.

Hi, i have a HTC One M8, and when my first update popped, i was very enthuziast.
I accepted to download the update, installed it, and... the problem appeared. The phone made his restart after update... and continued to do so over and over again. (Vibrate/HTC screen on for 30 secs/screen off and so on)
I checked the HTC website for solutions, i entered live chat with a consultant, and he asked me to start the Hard reset procedure. To do that, while turned off, you have to press both volume keys, and press the power button. The phone will enter in the Bootloader menu where you have some options. But... tell me, how to do that if the phone restarts continously? you have about 1-2 seconds to do that, while the screen is off. It gave me a hardtime to do that... Finnally, i managed to enter the Bootloader menu.
There... you have 2 options: (using volume up/down to select, and power button to select) you can select to poweroff(shutdown) the phone - and the phone will shutdown,
or you can turn off the fastboot, and the phone will restart normally.
The thing is that when you restart your phone normaly, while fastboot on, the phone skips some steps, and go directly to to turn it on and show you the startscreen.
When you make a major update, like system upgrade, when the phone restarts, he needs to load all the boot setting. And here is the problem. If you have fastboot on, and make a major update, the phone will enter in this ****ty cicle of continous restarts.
Remember to deactivate this Fastboot before you update!

This is not correct. To force a reboot, you hold power and vol up (not both vol buttons). Then, when its restarting (the moment the screen goes dark and before the white boot screen appears) you let go of both those buttons, and only hold vol down.

In the case of a bootloop (phone keeps restarting), all you need to do is hold vol down during one of the reboot cycles. The timing doesn't matter in this case. Just sit on the vol down button until the bootloader screen appears.

First, the FASTBOOT selection in bootloader is not the same as "Fast boot" in Settings>Power. The latter just makes the phone start faster from power OFF. The former is an adb (Android Debug Bridge) special mode that allows you to flash partitions from a computer.
Second, in bootloader, you should have the following selections:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
CHECK SMARTSD
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE
Of course, its the FACTORY RESET option you want if you want to wipe the phone. Scroll down to (using vol keys) and select with power button.
On the bootloader screen, the active selection is the blue box with white text below the green phone info (hboot number, radio number, etc.). FASTBOOT should only be the default "active" selection if your phone is connected to a computer by USB. Otherwise the default selection in bootloader should be HBOOT.
Third, the "Fast boot" option in Settings>Power does not make a restart "faster" by skipping any steps. It just makes a start from power OFF faster. Its kind of a trick, where power OFF is not really off, but just a deeper sleep mode. A restart is always a restart, regardless of whether "Fast boot" is selected or not in Settings>Power.
Hello, today I wanted to restore my previous CWM backup. So i started with cleaning partitions before restoring. I've begun with system and my phone hang. I waited about 30 minutes, then pulled out battery with hope I'll try again via CWM. The thing is - I can't boot it into recovery: Volume Up/Volume Down+Power leads to normal start up (LG screen and nothing further). So i connected it to PC and wanted to make it right via ADB. Unfortunely it seems I had USB Debugging turned off, and ADB isn't recognizing my phone now... What should I do now?
I have rooted D620r with unlocked bootloader.

You must never delete partitions before restoring a backup especially system!!
CWM will do that for you...
Boot your device in factory reset mode (which simply boots CWM) by doing the following key combination: (while your device is off - pull and plug the battery to be sure) press and hold Vol - and power, when you see the LG logo, release the power button and press it again. Hold them until you see the facory reset mode, then simply enter YES. It will reboot to CWM.

Weird, I was always doing this when I had HTC Desire S
Used this countless times and always worked!
Ok, i've done as You said, something like CWM loading screen appeared, and then went back to LG Screen. LG Screen standing still and nothing happens
The only good thing is that I can access ADB for 20 seconds when CWM is "loading", but no action can be executed - every command ends up with "waiting for device".
Thanks for Your reply, though! :highfive:
EDIT:
I solved my problem by using "Emergency software restore" mode featured in "LG User Support Tool". I got clean, unrooted system now and I need to modify it again but...
...THAT'S WHY I REGISTERED HERE!
Lock bootloader
Hello everyone.
I was just going to try out CM11, but got one question. Is it possible to lock the bootloader and revert everything to stock? There were some talks about new stock ROMs coming out and they might not work after a custom ROM.
