hi,
I've had the same problem couple of days ago. the only way I was able to solve it was to flash back to a stock rom by odin. after that I was able to flash again from cwm

Install which rom? Over what? Have you installed cf-root or a cwm compatible kernel first?
You should read the flashing guides thoroughly before doing anything.

The recovery mode is the stock recovery? You need CWM and a rooted firmware to apply a custom rom.. Are you able to access download mode?

Ok thanks

Odin would be safer as I havent heard yet that rom manager is safe for this device. If it is someone please say so.

Cwm from rom manager forced recovery loop
im using a sprint note 3 (sm-n900p) and i downloaded Rom Manager to get cwm and it said that it downloaded and installed just fine. i booted into recovery and it just loops over and over. If i remove battery and turn on normally, it'll continue to loop the same. the only solution to fix the loop i had was to take out the battery and boot into download mode, then i pressed down to cancel and it loads up normal. but for now, rom manager has messed up my recovery. (im not an expert on this, but im not a beginner either) just thought id give you guys a heads up

I would start reading some posts in the development forum, and other specific topics on the various steps you will need to take. But...
First you will need to install a custom recovery, like clockwork mod(cwm) or twrp.
Second, you will need to find a ROM specific to your device, making sure to check your model number and only installing a ROM if it is intended for your devices model.
Third, flash the rom .zip in the previously installed recovery.
That's really all you need to do, but you should read how to take those steps in the threads for them and your device.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

1. yes with LGMDP or KDZ, but you need the stock rom that can be found in general LG P500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824618
2 read here, it was discussed before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830232
the answers are all in this forum, just try to search, read all sticky and FAQ threads and you should find all answers, but if you want to someone confirm you this, you can make a new thread like this just to be sure, cheers

Having used Odin and kdz I can say that KDZ is *RISKY*
It is maybe equivalent to Odin by the reference to the work they both do
And yeah you can create a nandroid backup of froyo

I would not want anything risky (everything is risky, but I prefer to take it to a minimum level ) as this is not my phone. Do you recommend flashing custom recovery through rom manager?

Don't use ROM manager on LGp500

Then use the above app

I'm sorry to bump this after so long, I just didn't have the courage to flash the recovery (when I got stuck on the fastboot screen I thought that the device is going to the trash can), I have now CWM v5.0.2.0 but I get a message:
E:Bad boot message
"recovery"
Is it safe to proceed? what does this message mean?

I don't like *any* of the Jenkins builds as they are pathetically slow for me even on fresh installations
According to me you should either try Oxygen ICS or Rashed97's CM10
Remember the above ROMs are of my personal preference
And if you are inclined to use Jenkins build *try* them

Do remember trimming the ROM before flashing gapps and then thanking my post otherwise you may get possible bootloop
And flash the oldBB fix after flashing the ROM (search it)
