Please No hot-linking the downloads or crossposting to these files. I have gotten less than $50 for making recoveries for the entire optimus lineup. That includes Vortex, Opt S, Opt M, Opt P500, Opt P509, Opt V. Please instead link to this thread for your users. Many people had indicated a wish to donate but didn't know how due to the hotlinking of uploads and no credit given.
Lets start the custom roms!!
To use download & unzip & copy flash_image and recovery-thunderc-m-v1.2.0-GNM.img to the root of your sdcard.
To flash: via adb shell or terminal type this from root # su shell (Do not type the # its for reference)
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# flash_image [B][COLOR=black]recovery[/COLOR][/B] /sdcard/recovery-thunderc-m-v1.2.0-GNM.img
Trouble shooting
1. If you get an out of memory error reboot device and do it on a fresh reboot.
2. If you get a file not found on the "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" skip it and move to the next step as this file will not be in your rom unless it has recieved an ota-update and if so needs to be disabled.
Key combo to boot custom recovery from powered off is Vol down+ Home +Power and release at LG Logo or use adb reboot recovery from adb shell.

Other:

Move recovery log to SD
Key Test : Output keycodes for debugging recovery
Note this recovery and the one for Optimus One P500 have a service that instantly reboots out of recovery once you load it & I disabled it and thats why you get a E: "Bad Boot Message" on inital startup. Its completely fine.
