[Q] Reboots into recovery with power plugged; how to fix

[khaytsus]

I am using my HTC Aria right now as a security camera, but it seems to reboot every few days in this setup, not sure why. It's pretty stable otherwise so must be something to do with the camera software or something. Anyway.

Every time it reboots it gets stuck in Recovery until I tell it to reboot into the System, then it's fine.

I know this is a known issue, but is there a way to fix it? Newer CWM? Older CWM? Looked for TWRP, but don't see one for Liberty.

I was previously using the phone for a specific purpose, so it's remained unchanged for probably a year so not sure what exact recovery is on it right now. I saw something about Touch vs non-Touch, so I might look to see what it has and change it and I'll do some testing of my own, but just in case anyone knows (and is paying attention to this forum anymore.. heh) I figured I'd ask.

Thanks!

Sounds to me like running the camera all the time is draining the battery faster than it can charge, so it shuts off.
Then because it's plugged in, it goes into off-mode charging, but your recovery doesn't support off-mode charging so it just boots recovery normally.

Flashing a recovery with off-mode charging would fix that problem, but you would still have to turn it back on (unless I'm wrong about it dying.. have you checked to see if the battery goes down at all?)

Maybe a faster charger would help?

Nah, it actually stays at 100 while running, it appears to be just a random reboot happening. This phone has always landed in cwm when plugged in but never been a problem for me before.

Do you have a SIM card plugged in? For some people even an unprogrammed SIM solved the problem. But for me it didn't solve it until I lost my Aria

Nope, no sim, I use it in airplane mode with wifi. I really need to look around to see if my cwm has a newer version or something. Btw, it was never updated from att, it was on the original version (2.2?) until I put cm7.2 on it. So bootloader might be older, maybe I should look into that too.
