[Q] LG P690 help for installing recovery image!!

hello everyone.
m new to this world of rooting & all
i already successfully rooted my lg p690 & want to install recovery image to make a nandroid backup,
plz guide me how to proceed...
thanks

The easiest way, though somewhat dangerous, is to install ROM Manager from the Play store. Do not attempt a backup! Though it works fine for many devices, some devices are bricked by attempting a backup through ROM Manager.
Use it to install custom recovery, then exit the app.
Alternatively, if you have the .img or .zip file of the specific recovery you want to install, use Android Flash Recovery through your computer. It's safer, but you have to download the custom recovery image yourself.

Custom Recovery flashed, but not working

I recently rooted my LG Optimus one (2.3.3) using the superoneclick method. I then installed ROM manager and flashed the custom recovery successfully. After that, when I chose to boot into recovery, the device booted into standard recovery and formatted my phone. This has been happening ever since and I am unable to boot into custom recovery and am ending up formatting my phone again and again.
Also, when I flashed the custom recovery, ROM manager flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 (LGE optimus one (Old baseband)), but I have been told that my phone has the new BB as it is running stock 2.3.3. Please help me regarding this issue.
Also, I am unaware if this the right place to post this question. could the mods please move it to the right section if I am wrong ?
Thank You

Thank you. I'll try this. In order to run CM 10, is it necessary for my recovery to be from CWM? or is it possible to run CM 10 with an AmonRa recovery installed ?

First use a GB rom and install and you sould have the phone live again.
Then try to found a Stock rom GB flashable and with recovery install rom .
To update to ICS its easy to use the LG tools and let them work for you..:victory:

Did you do a complete clear or did you skip some steps? What recovery program are you using - can you boot back into it (using the alternative methods), clear everything and try again? Are you sure the ROM you picked is the right one for your phone? You might have to use the LG tool to flash it back to stock and start over. However since you are getting to the boot animation (and you did give it a good 15 to 20 minutes before declaring an issue I hope as some ROMS can be really slow setting up for the first time) it isn't completely bricked. Keep hunting here and you will likely find a resolution.

to be able to revive you phone you need to instal a recovery, witch I see you didn't and tried to instal a custom rom without it directly from RomManager, one thing, RomManager isn't compatible anymore with p500 so that made your phone softbrick
step 1. go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723 download the tool read all abouth it, flash recovery on your phone (press THANKS to THE MAN)
step 2. find a rom in development section an flash it via recovery
step 3. boot phone
step zeo read all FAQ and sticky threads to avoid further problems

[Q] Trouble with my LG...

Hey there. I have a big problem with my LG P920. I've rooted it, and flashed CWM With Rom Manager on it. When I made a backup, I have some problems as it has got stuck on the LG Logo on start up. I fixed it anyhow, so I tried installing the Rom now. When I rebooted into CWM Recovery, it gets stuck at the LG Logo again.. Any tips ? Thanks !
(wanted to flash ICS! )

are you on GB or ICS in any case you probably need WKparts bootloader so go and install that first if you want to flash ICS from GB do you need to follow this Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqC5qw6WRaY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Im on Android 2.3.3 or something haha.
Edit : That Guide doesnt work for me as "Ports" aren't showing up for me at Device Manager.
