Now that you are rooted, you need a custom recovery to start flashing ROMs.
Now, you can do this one of two ways:
1. Fastboot
If you have fastboot (Download Quick Boot from the market, and tap bootloader. If you get a blue screen, you have fastboot), you can do this using that. You'll need to install the LG USB Drivers, and download and extract THIS zip. Then, open a command prompt in that extracted folder by holding shift and right clicking, and selecting "Open command window here. Then, when your phone is in fastboot, connect it to the computer, and type this into the command prompt

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That should send the recovery to your phone, and then once it says done, type

fastboot reboot

and you're done!

2. You can do it from ROM Manager
If you are already rooted, you can download the app ROM Manager from the Play Store [Link] and do it this way:
Install the app, give it permissions, then flash Clockwork recovery
Then use the back arrow to back out of the app, until you return to the home screen. Then. go back into the app, and scroll all the way to the bottom, and flash alternate recovery. Do it multiple times to make sure it 'sticks'

BE ADVISED: If you reboot the stock ROM after doing this, you will have to re-flash the recovery, as the stock ROM has a script that overwrites custom recoveries on boot.

To do this, be sure to have a ROM on your SDcard, ready for flashing.
Power off your phone, and hold the SEND, MENU, and END buttons while powering up to ent4er recovery. You'll know when to let go when a menu pops up.
If recovery is < 3, use the keyboard arrows to select, and the keyboard enter key to enter. You will need to factory wipe, and wipe dalvik-cache, then, back out, and install from SD card the ROM you will have downloaded. Reboot, and enjoy.

ROMs you can choose from:
Velocity 1.2.2
StormDroid 2.0
Bionix


I recommend trying them all (PSST, StormDroid is best ROM )

Hope this helps! (Hit 'Thanks'!)

I wish it was all this easy, the major problem I am having is that there isnt any service on the phone and the wifi isnt working. So I cant get on the market todownload apps to my phone. Thats my big rock in this obstical. I hope someone can help me soon. Ido haveit rootedand its downgraded by to 2.1, but where do I go from here?

the fastboot method doesnt require activation or wifi, just a working usb connection to transfer the files over. just google fastboot.apk to download the app needed and save it to sd card. of course if you dont have a file manager you probably cant see that file to install it from the phone. May have to push it using ADB.

Fast boot is not an apk. Its part of the android SDK.

ok so I am a newbie with this adb stuff..I need to find a file manager I can put on my phone without using wife or the service provider, and probably need idiot proof directions. I am a quick learner and pretty electronically savvy but a beginner with this stuff. Thank you!
