I have seen quite a few people asking if we can flash the optimus 3d recovery and also people asking how, to here are the instructions.

I am pushing my luck with the AT&T store already being on my 3rd thrill,
the recovery file can be found at

This could brick your phone don't try unless you understand the risk.
Did you try on your phone?
CWM
No I havent yet, not sure why it wouldn't work the phones are the same other than the radio to my understanding.
hoping maybe there is someone braver than me. If not maybe I'll do it tomorrow.
What is the benefit of doing this? Enabling the built-in tethering?
CWM
This would alow us a to get a little closer to custom roms.
How are you on your third phone?

first one monday morning I woke up and it wouldn't turn on nothing, second one I tried the tweaks that are listed for the optimus 3d rather than wait for a fix I finished it and took it back in and told them it was the same thing. kinda scared to do much to this one.
Haha I made a custom Framework-res.apk for my phone... All I did was change the colors of some things.... But im afraid to try it with everybody bricking their devices... Haha. And we dont have CWM to recover if it does put me in boot loop... If anyone else wants to give it a whirl you can find it under the development forum for our device...

Well I tried the adb method and got permission denied, maybe someone with a little more experience can figure it out.

how did you get into ADB with your thrill...? ive been trying for like an hour now...
are you running the lattest version of sdk and they have moved adb into a different folder.
made some progress found out that LG left out the flash_image in the system/bin. might have to pull this out of the optimus 3D if anyone has access to this if you would post it and I will try it again.
I might be making a fool of myself for trying this but hey got to learn some how.
Nobody with an optimus 3d has it either.... I posted the request over on the optimus forum and novody could find it.....

Here is a question as well so the radio on this phone is the only difference between this and the Optimus right? If that's so once we figure out how to get CWM on our phones wouldn't making a custom Rom be as Simple as taking an Optimus Rom pulling the Radio and putting the Radio from this Phone were the other one went? Just wondering. Regardless though need CWM first. I would do it but can't afford the brick.
ADB is working fine for me. I have a shell up now. Haven't tried to push CWM yet though im still preoccupied with deodexing, zipaligning, and deleting ATT's BS
Flashed recovery but it's not working
I flashed the recovery using adb, but I can't enter recovery mode. I'm pressing the vol down, 3d and power buttons until the LG screen appears. The phone just boots normally.
how did you get it to flash please give step by step method

Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Well man only thing left i could say is to get a new wire. Just cuz it charges dont mean the wire ismt damaged. Other than that i think you might have a phone with an attitude!

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

I am having quite a few issues with my phone running slower then a Ferrari with no engine lol everything lags horribly bad. Even just opening my contact list takes a couple minutes before it opens. And just trying to type a text or typing this post right now takes so long cause the keyboard lags out so bad and can't keep up with the speed I type like it usually has no problem doing.
So I was hoping someone could give me detailed, step by step instructions or a guide, to restore your phone back to unrooted stock, just came out of the box, settings. I wanna completely restart my phone. But I don't know how to go about doing that. I've done it with my last two Android phones. Which were a Droid X and before that a Droid 2 Global. But I was told that the process for Motorola phones, which you just use RSDlite and its pretty easy but like I said. I was told that RSDlite only works with motorola phones. So if someone could help me do this. It would be very much appreciated.
I already restored my nandroid back up I made before flashing the last rom I was using. So I am just using the stock ZV7 LG rom but its rooted. I also wanna be able to do the process of keeping my phone rooted and still be able to go to the new ZV8 version. My phone keep trying to update everyday but obviously it wont work cause I am rooted and plus I don't want to stuck and unable to root my phone amd flash tols and what not. Which last time I checked no one has figured out how to just straight root the new ZV8 version. You have to do that process that just lets you keep rooted and still update. Which hopefully someone will figure out how to just root ZV8 itself.
Anyways, like I said, if someone could help me completely restart my phone and start fresh as if it just came out of the box for the first time. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

After you do that just run system update to get to ZV9, if you want to root ZV9 use the LG Esteem root found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25362328

ZV9 ? I thought it was ZV8 was the latest update. Cause I am on ZV7 which was the update before the latest one, at least as far as I know. I am pretty sure I am on ZV7 and ZV8 was the latest. Have they come out with another update recently ? cause last time I Checked about 4 or 5months ago, ZV8 was the one that just came out.
It is really easy. Flash the v8 TOT. Upgrade to v9, do a factory reset and bam out of box v9. You can then root and what ever else (re-install apps)

okay, it's not that easy. I'm a noobie. I flashed the v8 tot, and I know it worked since in phone info, it changed from v4 straight to v8. BUT, for some reason, superuser and my old apps were still in the phone on the v8.
I went to check new software... nothing. V9 was a no go. What did I do wrong? I flashed it properly.
ALSO!!! HOW THE HECK DO I GET CLOCKWORK MANAGER IN V8 AND HOW DO I REBOOT INTO IT. help
I cannot for the life of me get my LG Thrill 4G rooted on ics. I tried the all in one tool, but it wont recognize the phone when i plugg it in with the battery out. please help me!
I also tried megatron and super one click

Read through that. Should fix you up. Its a driver installation thing. One of the last posts should fix you right up. I had the same problem. Megatron won't work. Have to use the all in one to flash bootloaders then recovery then superuser.

Hello. I have a lg o2x for more than 2 years and i after flashing a lot of custom roms, for more than an year i stick with 4.0 almost stock rom.
Few months ago i wanted to flash something else just because it runs slowly and cant use it decently.
The issue was that no matter what i tried to flash, it didn't work. i cant remember right now what error i got, but i remember i did a bit of research at that time and people adviced me to flash a new recovery using aio toolkit.
I am scared of bricking my device and i dont really know how to use aio toolkit..
Can anybody give me some steps in what should i do with aio? Thank you very much!
And i dont really get the thing with now/old bootloader and how does it affects your device...
Its easy to to identify the bootloader of your phone ,when you turn on your phone you get he lg logo if its pink its on new btl or if its white so its on old bootloader
