Thank you, and Thank you citric.
 
I wanted a stable CWM just like you guys, just glad we got it all worked out. It runs like a charm. And to hard boot into recovery:
Power + vol down until the led lights come on, release and hold the home button.

What are the navigation and selection buttons (ie vol up/down and camera on LGMS690 OM)?
 
See post #4, for info on how to get into the recovery. Don't know about ROM Manager yet. Maybe someone else has tried it?
At this time ROM manger isnt going to work fully. It will once koush builds the official CWM w/ RM support etc.

The reboot to recovery option it in should be good tho.

Might wanna check the Manual Flash Override option in settings in RM. I've not yet but will soon as I get RM on a device that doesnt have an official build.
 
Thank you very much the .bat file was a nice touch. I used it all aeems well, but I;m too scared to reboot, cause last time I LG Screen locked.
 
yeah i flashed it to my phone but idk if i did it right cuz it wont go into cwm


Yeah the process was a brainless one click CWM. But even after a Recovery stick, my 5-30-12 (born Date) OM+, won't boot into recovery either. now I am very scared. hope it don't bail on me until the humble gods have mercy on my rootin' & sinnin' soul! I hope tonight we get it all looking tight.

Good job Bro. Very nice apps, from the one click root, to the Recovery .BAT file, very clean.
 
I've seen this option but have never fully understood it use or application.
What is it's purpose?

It is used for if you already have CWM flashed, you can use ROM Manager to flash whatever ROM, so you could use your Optimus V with whatever CWM you already have, whether it be JerryScript's CWM or any other CWM, so you don't have to flash the one that's in the recovery list and then you can still use CWM: like so:

If you already installed a working recovery for your phone that is CWM you could press (in ROM Manager) menu key>manual flash override>select optimus v (it wont flash anything)>select 3.x
 
Hey, if anyone would be so kind to write step by step instructions on how to install this it would be greatly appreciated. I just bought my OM+ 2 days ago and it would be terrible if i bricked it already =/... no flames please, just a yes or no would be cool.
