Has anyone tried installing the custom recovery posted for the Optimus S on the Vortex?

The author indicates he's tested it on the Vortex.

recovery mode

I have tried using the 3 button method from power off mode and also using the quick boot app. All that happens to me is that my phone gets reset and I lose all my contacts, apps and settings. Help Please

Same here, I can't find a way to do a custom recovery.

any chance your pressing volume up instead of volume down?

the button combo is press and hold volume down + home + power and dont release any buttons until you're at recovery. Also this needs to be done when the phone is off, not on.

Recovery Custom

I copied the 2 unzipped files to the root of the SD card and did the home+vol_down+power. It goes to a screen with a Droid and a box with an arrow. Then after the Verizon splash screen it runs the setup wizard to setup my phone for the first time. It does this same thing when I install the quick boot app and tell it to reboot into recovery mode.

Has anyone been successful with custom recovery and LG Vortex?

I have followed these keys strokes multiple time, ensuring that the proper keys are being selected, ever time it reset the phone to factory settings. Even using the app 'RomManger' reboot in recovery mode reset the phone to factory settings. PLEASE HELP!
