[Q] Phone doesn't power down, it reboots to ClockworkMod recovery. [Solved for some]

---

first of all, props to JCase and Team AndIRC. you guys are awesome.

i am, however, experiencing some weirdness. whenever i choose "turn off" from the power menu my phone doesn't power down completely, it instead reboots to clockwork mod. isn't that bizzare? it happens every time with 100% repeatability. to completely power off the phone i have to pull the battery. is anyone else experiencing this behavior? that's so weird, right? i mean it's not really a big deal, but surely this is not the desired result.

at the home screen i hold the power button, choose "power off" and then 15 sec later i'm in clockwork recovery. bizzare.

can anyone help me? thanks to all in advance. c

P.S. as a side note, clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.1 isn't very TB friendly. i think whomever wrote it forgot the TB has no trackball because by default the power button acts as the "back" button when it should really be the "enter" button. to get an "enter" button you have to wrap-around scroll a couple of times until you get the "Back menu button enabled" message. clockwork's only mode of operation on the TB should really be that the power button acts as "enter" and the back menu button is enabled.

EDIT 1: FIX BELOW

so i posted this question in the development section because it had to do with root and i thought that's where all the root discussion would be. mods moved it here. totally fine. keep it tidy. but then yesterday someone answered the question in a new thread in the development section. go figure. anyway, here's the solution as posted by "dbu":

Hit menu and you will see the button to clear the download cache, hit menu and then settings and you will see the check box to erase recovery.

Thank Slayher guys, not me, he's the one who fixed it

props to dbu and slayher

EDIT 2: MAYBE NOT FIXED

Some are saying that this does not solve their problem. My phone appears to power down when plugged in without going into recovery, but every now and then I do see it go into recovery when plugged in. Others see it every time, so there is still some residual weirdness. Your mileage may vary, as some would say. Who is using FastBoot in the Power settings? Maybe that is causing the phone not to power down as we would expect, but I am not a dev and I am just speculating.

Same issue here... Power down and plug in to charge. Few seconds later boots to recovery.

Same thing here...

Even in recovery if you select "power off" it reboots back into recovery.

upgrade to 3.0.2.2, that lets you hit "back" to "select" your choice.

For some reason powering down this phone while it is plugged in, sends it into Recovery. No one knows why yet. Actually I should say I don't know why, i'm sure a dev knows or could find out why.

Yup just noticed it this morning too, very strange.

Same for me.

same here....power down + usb charge = back to recovery

Please ask your questions in the appropriate forum.

This bug is known to be caused by having your phone plugged it to your cable. Unplug the phone first.

It still goes to CWM even after turning the phone off while unplugged and then plugging it in.
