At first, before you can do anything special
is to root your phone.
You will need.
Froyo/V21A:
SuperOneClick
Gingerbread:
Megatron
LG USB Drivers
Froyo:
Video (it isn't my video!!!):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5biS7DYqtLQ
Text:
1. Install the driver (it isn't shown in the video!)
2. Enable USB-Debugging on your phone (Settings-->Applications-->Development-->Activate USB Debugging)
3. Unzip the SuperOneClick package and run the exe as Admin
(Maybe you have to disable your Virus Scanner)
4. Connect your phone to the computer (No USB-HUB!)
5. Wait till the computer has installed the drivers.
6. Press Root in the SOC-Tool
7. Your phone will reboot between the root progress.
8. You have Succesfully rooted your Phone,
and you can now use apps witch requires root!
Gingerbread
Text:
1. Install LG ADB drivers
2. Put the device in USB debugging mode
3. Connect via USB
4. Extract the zip file
5. and execute run "run.bat”.

INSTALL CWM-RECOVERY
Before you can install a ROM you need CWM-Recovery.
Video (It is my video):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BChCSyPEfd0&feature=youtu.be
Text:
1. Install the free app Rom Manager from the Play Store
2. Start the app.
3. Press Flash CWM
4. Select the LG Optimus 3D (No Other devices from LG!!!)
5. An window will be opened witch
asks you if you want to give Rom Manager
Superuser rights, give it.
6. Wait till the progress bar is full.
7. You have no CWM-Recovery
BACKUP
If you want to install a new ROM all apps
will be lost so you'll need to backup them
Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbz8-HkH0Lg&feature=youtu.be
Text:
1. Download the free app Titanium Backup
from the PlayStore.
2. Open the app and give it SU-rights.
3 Follow the video because I can't say
it in english
INSTALL NEW ROM:
Here in the forum are many
ROMS you can try...
1. Download a rom from the Forum. (Dont rename or unpack it!!!)
2. Put it on your Phone.
3. Open Rom Manager
4. Select Reboot to recovery.
5. The Phone will rebbot and you'll see an menu.
You can move with the volume kays and

----I have not much time now so there will be only videos----
----Post if text is needed a reply----
RESTORE APPS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHB5-9zoqNU&feature=youtu.be
If you want to restore faster you need the permium version
or the second way to restore apps
RESTORE APPS
This method is faster than the free version
of Titanium Backup but there could be problems
like force closing apps or annoying stuff like this
1. Boot into recovery with Rom Manager or
shut down the phone and press volume down +
3d + power (sometimes a little bit tricky)
2. Go to backup and restore and select advanced
restore.
3. Select the backup with the apps you want to restore.
4. Select restore data.
5. Reboot
INSTALL NEW KERNEL/OVERCLOCKING
1. Download a Kernel from the Forum (Titan Kernel is great!!!)
2. Boot into reckovery
3. !!!Make a Backup!!!
4. Select install zip
5. Select the zip
6. Reboot
After that you can take a look on this:

problem restoring
Hi ive recently ran into problems with my O3d and i need to do a recovery on it. I had rom manager on it and i backed up everything before it went wrong but now all my apps and games and stuff has gone including rom manager!!! Ive also tried the volume down and power button but i cant seem to access the restore part of it only wipe data/factory reset. I know all my stuff is still on my memory card though which makes it the more frustrating lol. Is there anything that can help me with this or is it a case of I just have to start again??? Any help would be grateful. Cheers

You could install a new rom using kdz method then root it then install clockwork recovery then enter clockwork recovery and restore
Hello...
Nice guide you have. Overlaps with manbearpig's somewhat, but you have the video tutorials
For flashing CWM, I recommend using this instead. Prevents the common problem where ROM Manager shows LG Optimus 2x rather than Optimus 3D and the user flashes it anyway, bricking/bootlooping the phone.
You have only included installation of custom roms, You may add installation of stock roms by kdz method. first do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781&highlight=kdz then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 and get kdz from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
thanks for the posts I will add this tomorror or in a few hours because I am now online with my phone and it is to much to write

Nope tried that method and still the same??? I spoke to someone from lg and they said theres a method of doing it through my googlemail account but I'd have to send the handset off??? Any ideas?
so u r on a stock rom which is rooted and you dont seem to be able install cwm and by pressing volume down and power you are entering default android recovery...right
have you tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482713 for installing clockworkrecovery?

Drivers please help.
Please help me install the drivers.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and my phone is not being recognized.
I've followed all the steps properly but I'm not getting the phone to even show up on the device manager. SP tools refusing to detect. Thoroughly frustrated and wasted 3 days on this.

Use only latest sp flash tool.
But I did! Still not recognizing. Nothing's happening, and no yellow bar is coming.. I downloaded the latest version of sptools, tried about 6 different versions of drivers, but my phone is not visible even as an unknown device on the device manager.
