Follow the guide on the first page of this thread, then you will have custom reocvery.Right now the only recovery you can boot into is stock recovery which won't let you flash roms.
ok i get it now after thinking about it for a couple days thank you for dealing with my lame questions and your time you really helped me out alot
Sorry I am really new to all this stuff. How do I get to the ADB Shell? I am following all the steps but when I reboot my phone to recovery I keep getting the LG recovery screen
Did you set up android sdk on you pc? If so then open command prompt and type
Code:
adb shell
Code:
suyea i saw a video of someone doing that on youtube but i didn't think it would work but what you use then cmd codes or terminal codes
You can use either command prompt on you pc or terminal emulator from the market both will work.
With terminal it would be "su" instead of "adb shell"
yea im gonna try it again because i forgot to unzip one of the files and I'm thinking thats probably why it didn't workk
still cant get either way to work I'm starting to think that there's something wrong with my phone i remember installing a recovery image from rom manager a while ago but since the optimus isn't listed there i probably downloaded one for a different phone which explains why i could never get it into stock recovery so do i have to delete it from somewhere or something before i try installing a real recovery image?
Recovery should overwrite the other recovery. There could be something getting screwed up cause of you using rom manager to install a recovery ealier but it shouldn't.
When you run the commands what happens?
Might be incorrect driver on computer...Had to go rounds with that last night while working a nook color into a usable android tablet. I had to install drivers to the computer, for the first connection to use adb, then install a different set to get nookie froyo running from the sd, then an additional set after getting nookie froyo working on internal memory.
The last set was needed to get adb back, so I could push the oc kernel to the nook. But even with all that, I was able to get everything working in a little over two hours.

ok i found out that i didnt have the drivers installed right on my computer but now when i enter everything into the cmd after the # and i enter reboot into recovery i get stuck at the lg screen and have to pull the battery and whatever i enter into the cmd it repeats back to me (not sure if that suppose to happen or not) except for when i enter
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
i get
failed on ' /system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - no such file or directory
and when i enter
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
i get
/sdcard/flash_image: invalid length
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
i get
failed on ' /system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - no such file or directory
and when i enter
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
i get
/sdcard/flash_image: invalid length

It should repeat back to you. Sounds like you're sticking on the lg screen because you are only halfway through installation.
If you get the "no such file or directory" error, just move on...the file is already renamed or doesn't exist, (it doesn't exist on the V9 firmware).
Did you UNZIP flash_image.zip to the root of your sd card? I'm guessing no. Unzip it, and try again.
alright i got it to work it wasn't that i didn't unzip them i just found out that when i did it put them into a folder and then i put the folder on my sd card which is why it didn't work
