Installation

FASTBOOT USERS:

Download the recovery.img to your computer and open up terminal or command prompt and cd to the directory where the recovery.img is.

Example:
Windows
Code:
cd Downloads
Linux
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
Now that you are in the recovery.img's directory, boot into fastboot mode by powering off the device, from power off, plug in your usb, power on the device, as soon as it starts to boot, release the power button and hold volume up until in fastboot mode.

Now in terminal or command prompt, type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot
Code:
fastboot reboot
Once booted, go download this awesome app to make rebooting to recovery easy, HERE

FOR THOSE WITH A RESTORED LAF PARTITION:

Place the recovery.img in the root of your internal sd card.

Open up command prompt or terminal and type:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Now it is time to overwrite your stock recovery with cwm, type:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That's it, download this awesome app to reboot to recovery HERE


To boot to recovery power off device, power on the device, and wait until it gets to the dim LG logo and try to interrupt the long vibration by pressing volume down a few times, if done correctly, your phone will stop the first boot and start another one that boots you to recovery. Timing is key so it might take a few tries

MS323 USERS ONLY:

Normally, key combo will not work, however, if you replace your laf partition, you can use fastboot key combos to access the recovery.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
It is suggested that you do a backup of your laf.img before you do so, however - if you can not - I have backed it up for you HERE.

In this case (overwriting the laf), you will need to have your USB plugged in before trying to use a key combo.


Aroma File Manager And Terminal
Aroma File Manager And Terminal is a lifesaver, allowing you to use a file manager and terminal right from recovery. It's even theme-able! Here are some screens:

In order to install Aroma, you just have to flash this file:

That's it!

As per the norm, credit does not go to me but rather

Just thought I'd share, was never given it's own thread. I also totally copied + pasted Chevan's OG CWM thread. (If anyone else worked on this, let me know)

@crutchcorn, I get no credit? :p
I am so sorry @MikeHoncho. It's not that you didn't help or anything, just hard to juggle all the users on top of all the info on the threads. Fixed and proper credit has been given to you (here and on my other thread). :) Hope no harsh feelings. Thanks for your work!

NOTE: Some L70 devices have been reported to not boot to recovery with the device powered down, just a heads up for anyone that hasn't tried it. Be sure that your device is able to boot to recovery from power off, if it doesn't then restore your laf partition and you will have to unbrick if you brick instead of restoring a backup.

Keep in mind, when rebooting from recovery, it will ask you to do 2 things, select no for the first option and select yes for fix root or you will lose your root. To boot to recovery power off device, power on the device, and wait until it gets to the dim LG logo and try to interrupt the long vibration by pressing volume down a few times, if done correctly, your phone will stop the first boot and start another one that boots you to recovery.
