The problem I have is this:
I want to root my LG Optimus 4x, so I can install a CWM Recovery and CM 10.1
The trouble is, to root the device (With the all in one tool), I need to use ADB Sideload, which is in the recovery
But the recovery (as shown in the attached picture) has no options or menu at all!
And to top it all off, to install a new recovery, it seems I have to be root...
Can somebody please help me out? I need a way to either:
1: Root the device without the recovery
OR
2: Install CWM Recovery without needing root access
Thank you XDA Community
Never mind, the boot loader was the problem but I fixed it with the second method of this:

Hello guys,
I have a strange problem. I had root and maverix custom recovery for a while and I was running SPQrom very fine. I flashed back the stock 1.67.405.6 WWE ROM and as expected I lost root and the custom recovery.
Now when I run the 1 click root (rootTattoo) and restart in recovery, I still get the default recovery screen with an exclamation mark. I have the step over and over again and still I get the default recovery screen. How can I get the custom recovery again?
Thanks,
Yash
Edit:
This problem was caused because something was wrong with rooting of the device. Here are the steps I followed to get a custom recovery installed again:
1. Use the one click root apk:

2. Activate root on my phone with the apk
3. Followed instructions from here http://coolbits.homeip.net/blog/2010/03/09/flash-custom-recovery-for-htc-tattoo/ to manually flash the recovery image.
Hello XDAs
I'm middle of the way on rooting my phone (Nexus One, Android 2.3.4) & flashing a custom rom (cm7 passion-V106)
I follow the tutorial at below & i've done most of the steps
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
Here is what i've done,
-Unlocking the Bootloader
-Installing a Custom Recovery Image both Amon_Ra's Recovery & ClockworkMod Recovery but Amon_Ra is not working.... i unable to boot into Amon_Ra...
-Flashing Radio 5.08.00.04 but i receive a error message that the version is not supported
- Flashing CyanogenMod via ClockworkMod Recovery but i didn't receive install sucessfull message, it only return me back to ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
- Flashing Google Addon Apps via ClockworkMod Recovery - the only flashing that i receive install complete message
After i've done the process above and its come out that i have stuck on the CM7 Loading screen (Blue boot animation screen)
There is a few thing i've noticed which might be the problem...
1:The S_Lock is till On when i boot into Bootloader mode
2: My phone is still unrooted and i unable to use the ROM Manager from Apps Market.
3: sometimes i will not able to access ClockworkMod, it only shows me the " ! " Sign with an Android logo next to it.
Can someone help me with this... i'm stuck now and unable to turn on my phone...

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't give you s-off or root. You would need a rooted rom to run root apps/superuser.
You need to wipe everything and flash the rom again in recovery (you can't have both recoveries installed at once btw). Your hboot may need updating.
Flash the radio via fastboot so you don't brick your phone. Download it again in case your version is corrupt. You might wanna flash the recovery again.
Might be easier to go back to your nandroid backup (that you must have made, right?) and have a working phone for a while until you read around the subject.
*edit* or just read the wiki lol
I installed CWM recovery successfully, my phone's bootloader is also unlocked, but now my cwm is gone, i cannot boot into recovery mode! Any suggestions? do i need to install CWM again? will the root disappear if i do so?
Did you change your kernel?
If you reinstall cwm your root shouldn´t be gone (idk how you installed your recovery, so can´t say for shure ^^), but even if it does, it´s about 5 minuits to re-root your device via recovery
Can really use a step by step on how to recovery so I can flash custom ROM-in the absolute simplest terms humanly possible.Still learning and would be SO grateful-need someone to tell me in a way I can get (and I am not completely stupid)...I want to be able to put cyanogen (or whatever else is awesome) on my phone and the recovery is all I really need help with,,,I have 5.0 lollipop on an HTC one(m7)-STOCK ROM -NO custom Kernel-and cannot mod because I am stock-merely rooted with team win recovery method.
First do u have a custom recovery and second is your bootloader at least unlocked
That is what I am trying to do now is install custom recovery which I THINK I MAY have already done with flashify-just need to verify with someone that knows...used flashify to download TWRP 2.8.6.0 on my Sprint HTC one M7 -phone went into recovery mode ,taem win RP came up, I hit the reboot window ,another screen popped up with 4 windows( one was system and another said recovery-I hit system and phone rebooted) now flashify says"recent recovery images" and lists the newer TWRP version-back-up and restore also has restore recovery and restore kernel option because I backed up both...Did I do the right thing???Did I install a custom recovery...??????-Thankyou for your time anyone that can help me out...!!!
I unlocked boot loader and tried to install twrp from system,it says its installed but i cant enter it
How to flash twrp the best way
And can i remove twrp if i need to restore factory state and how to delete it?
Thank you
You could always try XperiaZdual-recovery, as long you don't flash another kernel. Its actually a tool that can help you flash the recovery (if not rooted yet, you must be on 5.0.2) using only a one-click solution. It does not give you root access and you should allow usb debugging in order to be able to flash. It installs TWRP and Philz recovery, during boot you can select either one of them using volume down for the first and volume up for the latter. Have fun.
