I think your recovery must have gotten flashed with other one, just use the installer from here and reflash nuts dual recovery http://nut.xperia-files.com/

Had the same issue on bliss 5.1, all methods suggested failed (multirom, twrp installer, fastboot flash, etc..) even disabled in developer option the cyanogen recovery update switch.
Then i read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59098385&postcount=50
so basically i entered:
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/fotakernel.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
because i have put the recovery in my sdcard root (/mnt/sdcard) and renamed the .img in the link into something simpler (fotakernel.img), but you can use whatever filename modifyng the command above.

I had this problem too just yesterday. All I did was to flash twrp using Rashr flash tool from playstore. I'm back to twrp recovery.

Thank
Thanks guys for your responses. I really appreciate. I used da terminal emulator method and was able to install twrp and flash ma rom but when I got to da start screen I notice ma screen doesn't response to touch any more. Guess togari isn't meant for me so I'm going back to ma old phone. I appreciate all your help.
Thanks

[Q] No SU binary installed.

Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561
I saw that I needed to get s-off, which requires root. Bootloader was already unlocked and so did everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

Thank you! Although I just managed to installed a custom ROM and managed to get root.

I flashed the Recovery_Cingular_US in fastboot. Unfortunately I'm unable to boot into stock recovery. I've been told right after you enter recovery from bootloader you press all three buttons simultaneously?
Is there a way to get into stock recovery from fastboot? Or better yet install the ROM from fastboot?

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?
what Rom are you wanting to install and whats flashing stock recovery have to do with it ?
Well, if you looked at the thread I linked, you'll see that it says to flash a stock recovery file in order to install the OTAPkg.zip

and yes it is necessary to have stock recovery to take an OTA, but your post didn't mention taking OTA it said you had no SU installed.
to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard

Twrp has their own install app. You can also use flashify to flash image files.
On moto x, u have to flash recovery and then root. Flashify requires root permissions so it's not possible to flash using flashify

That would be correct. Sorry I am use to just typing fastboot flash recovery ****.img
does philz recovery solve the problem with editing the updater-script of a CM12 nightly prior flashing? This has to be done with latest TWRP every time I flash a new nightly
U can flash nightlies with the twrp recovery I provided. I've successfully flashed cm12 with it.

My bootloader is unlocked, but once I boot into fastboot, then go into recovery (which just shows the android on its back with the red exclamation point) and press the power button to bring up the menu, I only have the option to flash update.zip. What am I doing wrong?

[GUIDE]How to install CyanogenMod based ROMs (D618)

Well with the fact that i just 'Beginner' in android -developer world i spent two days (read and search) to just know what the right steps to have unofficial rom . So this is not thread from professional it's just what i understand so far . (SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH)
It's some simple Steps :
1) First you need to root your Device to have fully adminstrator . (This make you can execute terminal order from you and the apps)
2)After you get root install flash tool To do Setup 4 . (Rasher or Flashify)
3)You must UNlocked you bootloader . (So the new rom can edit your boot process)
4)Install custom Recovery [CWM]or[PHILZ]or[TWRP]. (This make you can do zip install from external card)
5)Get your rom download and copy to your external card.
NOW YOUR READY
OK Now my guide is for LG G2 MINI (D618)
The custom rom is [ROM][5.1.1][D618/D620] Cyanogenmod 12.1 Stable
And my phone have OFFICIAL android 5.0.2 lollipop
1) ROOT : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/root-root-g2-mini-lollipop-t3123652
If it not success . do factory reset and start the root again but this time (don't setup superSU from store and don't restart your phone and IT's su Not Su) this should success .
2) DOWNLOAD THE FLASH TOOL FROM PLAY STORE AND KEEP IT
3) BOOTLOADER : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (YOU MUST TAKE BACKUP FOR YOUR PHONE FIRST)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-d620-d618-t3127819
4) CUSTOM RECOVERY : FOLLOW THIS GUIDE (CWM SUCCESS WITH ME) (JUST FLASH .IMG FILE WITH SETUP NUM (2))
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/recovery-lg-g2-mini-d618-v10c-t2854493
5) DOWNLOAD THE FILE YOU NEED FROM HERE AND COPY TO EXTERNAL CARD AND FOLLOW Installation :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-stable-t3175833
NOW IF THIS SETUP'S SUCCESS THE HARD PART IS OVER.
6) Now reboot into recovery mode (you will find this in Flash tool)
in recovery mode you need just two things (WIPE AND INSTALL)
7)CHOOSE "Wipe" CACHE, DATA and SYSTEM (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND SETTING AND EVERY THING)
8)CHOOSE INSTALL ZIP FROM EXTERNAL CARD AND CHOOSE FIRST KK_BOOTSTACK_D618_1.1.ZIP THEN cm-12.1-20150828-UNOFFICIAL-g2m.ZIP
9) RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL GAPPS (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150824-signed.ZIP)
10) NOW YOU HAVE DONE .. REBOOT YOUR PHONE AND IT WILL DO SOME INSTALL FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTE AND YOU WILL SEE SETTING SETUP ON THE SCREEN
11)F YOU HAVE unstable SIM signal JUST GO TO RECOVERY AND WIPE ONLY CACHE IT WILL BACK TO NORMAL.
THIS IS MY experience ON MY G2 D618 I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER PHONE'S
THANK YOU XDA AND XDA-DEVELOPER'S FOR YOUR HARD WORK .
Thank you very very much for this great explanations!!!
Tried to flash custom recovery with Rashr after unlocking bootloader. Tried CWM, Philz and TWRP and always ended up with attached screen.
What do you think the mistake is? And what do you mean with setup Num 2? Do you mean kernel flash in Rashr?
Thank you!

1)Download official android lollipop from here (chose your country ) its KDZ File and flash with LG Flashtool 2014 Here
Now do the setup from the First setup .. and setup Num 2 i just mean Flash Custom Recovery File (Dont use TWRP Use CWM with Flashify .. Rasher didn't success with me ) Hope you make it

this is the stock android recovery that means that you didn't or couldn't flash a custom recovery
make sur you extracted the zip file and flashed the recovery.img with flashify
Hmmm, did everything exactly like you've written until flashing recovery. Now I'm stuck with attached screen when entering recovery...
Any idea?
Thank you!

this is the fastboot screen
the recovery you tried to flash is corrupt make sur the file isn't corrupted and the that is matching your device
i think your device is d620r and your trying to flash the one from the thread [RECOVERY][CWM][PHILZ][TWRP] G2 Mini D618
if you can boot into system reflash the matching recovery TWRP for your device if you can't connect your phone to pc
use fastboot to flash the recovery

don't know what's wrong !! if bootloader was locked you will have a security error on boot not the fastboot screen when enterig to recovery maybe you're doing the wrong combination to access recovery try with an application or with flashify or rasher to reboot to recovery

No Recovery, No PC ...

Hey guys,
I'm facing a huge problem at the moment.
I played around with flashing new roms over my OOS 3.14 rom.
First i installed the Dirty Unicorns N Rom from 11/18, then I updated my TWRP to the latest Version with flashify..which was a huge mistake.
After I installed the revovery i realized that the camera doesnt work with the DU rom and - of course- tried to reboot to recovery to clean flash it again.
That's the point where the problem occurs, Recovery won't boot anymore, just the OnePlus Logo and "powered by android"
Normally I'd use fastboot to simply flash a new recovery but the thing is that my usb port is somehow broken and does not
Get recognised by any pc or any usb cable.
Can I "recover" my recovery without fastboot on the PC? Maybe with the Terminal-App from the Playstore?
Please help my stupid a**
Thanks in advance!
No recovery but ROM is booting?
Is your device rooted?
If yes did you tried flashify?
That's really your only option without a PC. Maybe try flash blu spark v41 twrp with the app Rashr. But I think you really need a computer.

Rom is booting but buggy!
device is rooted!
Flashify won't work because it cant flash a new recovery if theres no old recovery to replace
I'll try Rashr and Flashify again, when my connection gets better.

Hey, just tried flashing bluspark v41 twrp with rashr and it worked instantly!
Thank you sooo much!!:laugh:
You should know that the recovery is written to a partition in your storage. So, if you have a terminal with root acces you can simply run something like
Code:
cat /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery > recovery_backup.img
to backup your recovery
and
Code:
cat twrp.img > /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
to write a file to your recovery.

How to use magisk to twrp from 2.3.5 gingerbread without a computer?
@Didgeridoohan
Do you think its possible to flash twrp from a terminal emulator? Or what are my options?
If you really can't get a hold of a computer you might be lucky with an app like Franco Kernel Manager, Flashify, etc. Problem is that most apps likely won't support or be compatible with that ancient version of Android or whatever root you currently have installed. And, you're also risking bricking your device if you don't have access to a computer...
I really think your best bet is to somehow get access to a computer. Friend/school/work/something...
If you can't install stuff on that borrowed computer you could create a bootable USB with a Linux distro and run everything from there. Linux Mint is quite user friendly, they've got good documentation on how to get things running with a Live Boot USB, and it's not too hard to get adb & fastboot up and running.
Ill try and get a hold of a computer because nothing seems to work on 2.3.5

I had rooted using framaroot but after a factory reset it wont install supersu or superuser to my app drawer, can you give me a suggestion? Btw im using my xbox one to type this.

I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YAKGRblIuw
dd Install Method (Requires Root):
Download the latest image file (.img) from the download link above. Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img. Run the following commands via adb shell or a terminal emulator app:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
What part of the command do i change for a yp-g70 venturi? Also can i extract my twrp 2.8.0.0.zip and get the .img out of it or can i flash the .zip?
This what i used to flash cwm/ entropys daily driver kernel

Notice, that for Lollipop and up to get it running smoothly, you need a device with minimum 2GB RAM and at least 2GHz dual core processor - what since Android 4.4+ must be a ARMv7 one.

Thanks i had 4.4.4 up and running but tried flashing 5.1.1 lollipop on cwm and it corrupted the bootloader. Now i cant get into recovery because twrp wouldnt flash over cwm, i tried to flash twrp 2.8.0.0 & it succeeded yet didnt work after a reboot, why? I read the op but i still cant figure out why it didnt work after a reboot? Still remained cwm.

Hey... Look at that, you had some progress. Nice.
I've never used CWM, so I wouldn't know.... Sorry.
@chris1892006
Have you backed up stock recovery IMG through e.g. Flashify app before installing a custom recovery by means of CWM ? Do remember that restoring a backup will essentially wipe any changes made after that backup.
If so then
1. you can restore or flash stock recovery IMG through Fastboot to get CWM out of your system.
2. you can install through TWRP any custom recovery IMG of your choice.

thanks only problem is they only make a .zip for twrp for my device... I don't know how to flash it.
That's a really old android version, I'm not sure if it's possible. If you don't have access to a PC, try to ask a friend if they could do it for you, just to be safe. Trying to modify stuff within android, especially on such an old version, with probably unsupported software could result in a bricked device.
Thanks but I finally got TWRP and Lollipop 5.1.1 installed it took an ADB Sideload from a PC to sideload the twrp.zip file for my device and now I'm up and running and very happy to say the very least. Sure I bricked it 3 times in the process but was always able to recover using ODIN and having the proper files on hand.
Now im having an issue with xda on the device where the xda app wont let me sign in and the browser will sign me in but go right back to the sign in page again, idk how to fix it?
I install a dalvik cache wiper with root required and it corrupted the recovery again. So I figured out the exact steps to get this device working perfectly again. Firstly the twrp folder on the external sd card has to be renamed TWRP because it has extra strange characters after the TWRP. Now we know how to restore our backup, we can start by ODIN back to stock, then Framaroot v1.4.1 root the device then download entropys daily driver kernel cwm, the flash it via terminal emulator, reboot, then you have to install meticulous carbon 4.4.4 to fix the partitions and update the cwm to adb sideload the twrp. So you can then flash Meticulus Carbon 5.1.1 and both updates and 5.1.1 pico gapps. Good to go. Meticulus made the kernel overclock to 1.7ghz and it runs pretty darn good honestly. I modded the build.prop vm dalvik heap limit to 384m from 128m to get some extra performance out of it.
