I didn't know the G2 had a stock recovery. When I tried to enter recovery from fastboot it gave me a warning triangle and required a battery pull.

It required u to push volume up + power to see the menu.. nothing will flash on stock recovery though I assume. Wait for clockwork or grab zincs?? Or someone close to that name

It puts stock recovery just incase you loaded an invalid recovery img or something not compatible, therefore when u attempt to access recovery it wouldn't load. Mainly put this up because I was going in circles trying to with stuff posted on the irc. For example, I flashed insecure, and it just froze at the htc loading screen.

Yup, just the original recovery program that came with the phone. In case you want it for any reason, or want to put the phone back to stock stock everything stock... or in case you need a recovery which is confirmed working.
It will only allow you to flash signed updates.

I havent tried it but.. You would have to revert to stock, using the other guide. Then flash this to remove the clockworkmod recovery.
That should be all stock, if im not mistaken.

Odd. My phone did not come with a recovery. I got it the Oct 3rd from RadioShack, so maybe that's why. When I tried to enter recovery from fastboot, it would give me a screen with a warning triangle and needed a battery pull. That's why I was wondering what in the world the stock recovery was.

NO, your phone most certainly had a stock recovery, you just didn't press the Volume Up and Power button at the same time when your phone got to the "warning triangle". If you'd done that you would have gotten to the recovery menu.

not necessarily; BUT if ur softbricked, you can enter fastboot, put on the stock recovery; and in theory do a system wipe, and you could be fine?

Going by that error, I'm gonna assume your still s-on. You might want to start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842495
Read the whole thing, but at least have the answers to the 2nd post before posting up you question.
Also, nothing against paul or any maker of the apps that do stuff like this, but really all this rooting/rom flashing stuff needs to be done the manual way. Apps mess up sometimes and could put you in a bad spot. At least if you did it manually you would know what you did wrong, and hopefully catch it before you reboot.
You might also want to post in the visionary thread as maybe these guys know of a fix for whatever the app is doing.

flash this in stock recovery?

I downloaded a flashable zip of dsp manager, can I rename to update.zip and flash through stock recovery?
currently I am running (sprint) stock jelly bean rom JRO03U FH05 rooted (only rooted to flash dsp through cwm) and Ive been noticing data drops for long periods and want to unroot incase I need to go to the store but I want to keep dsp manager and any unroot method I see will wipe it out.
edit: ive found that when I have a lengthy data drop toggling wifi on and off re-establishes the 3g connection. Anyone think they know what my problem is?

Stock recovery cannot flash, you need a custom one for that.
As for your data drops: have you tried verifying your APN settings? Tried a different radio?

ive tried different roms, odining to stock, different radios, and different kernels. are the apns just like your "mobile network type",ip address, MEID, etc? thanks for the response.
Edit: So what you say about the recovery means I cant have dsp manager without being rooted? Or can I flash cwm or twrp by just changing the recovery files and flashing a recovery img without root?

Couldn't you just turn on USB debugging, connect to your PC, "fastboot boot (somecustomrecovery).IMG", and use it to flash the dspmanager.zip?
BTW, to unroot, all you have to do is delete "su" and "supersu.apk" (or "superuser.apk" if you're using that).

Yes you can, if a flashable zip of DSP manager exists (I'm not sure). Just boot or flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP indeed), and use it to flash the DSP manager zip.

ADB is not fastboot. ADB is an interface provided by Android OS and custom recoveries, Fastboot is an interface provided by the bootloader.

just one thing: you didnt need to flash cwm, just boot it:
Code:
fastboot boot cwm_or_twrp.img
this way you keep whatever recovery is installed, allows you to try out stuff, without really flashing them.

Do you want to get root? Or flash a rom?

I had root access and I'm currently running a 10.2 nightly of cm 4.3 with a few glitches. So I want to flash a 100% working ROM. I can't boot into recovery with any app due to the fact it requires su permission and I have no binaries according to su. I cant get into recovery either using 3 finger method the Samsung logo appears with the blue words on the top left, but it doesn't do anything after that. ROM manager shows my recovery as twrp so I'm in a pickle....lol
And no on turning on root in settings.

Then you need to find a computer to flash recovery again via odin, otherwise flash a rooted rom via odin.

You can use odin to flash recovery and then you can flash the root.zip it should work. But I would use odin to flash to a stock rom first.

You can flash recovery without a computer.
Download the recovery image file, rename it to rec.img
Go into terminal emulator
Code:

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.

Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.

[GUIDE] The easiest way to install CWM in ICS (no unbricking needed)

NOW YOU CAN INSTALL CWM DIRECTLY FROM ICS
INSTALL AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WITHOUT UNBRICKING​
A few months ago I found this thread on XDA :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42657066
This thread provided a way to install CWM from Jellybean V30C for the SU640 without unbricking the phone first. Now not exactly the same, the phones are close enough that it peaked my interest. Digging into it I discovered that the partition mmcblk0p7 contains the bootloader, and it was as simple as pushing the unlocked bootloader from Gingerbread to the correct partition, therefore bypassing the entire need to unbrick the phone first and thus allowing the install of CWM.
So I got brave enough and installed the P936 v10i Gingerbread ROM and used the command in ADB shell to extract the bootloader:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/bootloader.img. After this I restored my phone completely to stock. Rooted using the root at the above link, then ran my batch file and I had CWM no Security Error!!
The steps are simple:
Start with stock ICS (any version, carrier or phone version p93x). v20c, v20d, v20e, or v20f.
1. ROOT PHONE with the root from the above link or any method that works for you.
2. Run my batch file.
3. Install a custom ROM.
Before anyone asks me I used v 6.0.1.5 TOUCH for CWM. There are actually several reasons why. For me v 6.0.4.5 was incompatible with any ROM with kernel version 3.4. Also if I would initiate a backup from the Rom Manager app, CWM couldn't locate the backup directory.
ENJOY
:victory:
First this only is recommended for LG's Nitro HD models P930, P935 & P936. I do not recommend installing on the SU640 or LU6200.

Thnks!
Worked like a charm! (the second time lol)
I've been waiting for an easy workaround like this, you're great!

Awesome work.
Where did you get CWM 6.0.1.4? Is it the recovery.img located in the zip in the OP? I have two P930s and both have 6.0.4.5 installed. On one, I can get into recovery without a problem, the other one can't.
Thanks

That is exactly the message that you want. Press power button twice and you will be in CWM. It says factory reset because that is what will happen if you didn't have a custom recovery installed, no worries though.

Yes you can flash directly, since it only flashes the boot loader and recovery it will not touch your ROM.

Same here, mine is C6502---------1270-7911=Customized IN
Phone does not enter cwm but boots normally into OS and everything is fine
Only does not boot into CWM so not able to root
Hope there is a fix

Just closing this thread for a while, until I find a recovery ramdisk that plays nice with .569 kernel

del.

This is what I got after I flashed it to my experia C6502..

It can boot this time, but it won't go into recovery mode.

@shoey63
Is it working on your device ? Is it also C6502 or other
I see what you did in the new kernel , you changed the recovery-ramdisk .
I tried that too with others from CM 10.2 and CM11.0 kernels but no luck.
The phone boots.....vibrates & purple LED appears......i press vol-up several times....phones boots into the homescreen.
Everything works fine but the CWM window never appears.
Thats why i'm asking you again where did you get the kernel source ? I cannot find it on sony developer world

Stiil not working on mine.
I dont know how Supergen2 managed to get it working i would like to know.
I flashed stock ftf before flashing the kernel so there were no mods interfering with the kernel.
Can anyone help ?

Did you try to boot into recovery via adb?
adb reboot recovery
So you can test if it is a general problem with recovery or with pressing keys in.the boot process.
When I had a recovery on my phone (I currently don't have one, and it had not been this recovery kernel by shoey) I was only able to boot into it via adb or the app X-Parts.
