Could you make a small tutorial with the steps for installing, i am having trouble to install.
I have ROM 2.1 Baltic, ROOT and APP2SD.
1. I need the V20B (h*tp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ABALBK/V20B_00/V20B_00.kdz) right
2.Then install the V20B-CIS (this one http://narod.yandex.ru/disk/26353475000/20B_CIS.zip, right)
3. Enter fastboot - CAMERA+POWER (if you saw a black screen with no logos - you fastboot ")
4. Via ADB type fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img (http://narod.ru/disk/26369218000/rec...swift.img.html)
5. Open recovery - HOME+POWER.
6. Scrolling menu VOLUME UP/VOLUME DOWN, select item SEND CALL, return/cancel END OF CALL.
I don´t understand this "FAT partition on memory card must be last"?
Are this the steps that you have done?

This recovery has had NO faults with me so far. Some people have been saying they got this working on GT540 a while back but had issues. This one is fine. I never noticed if anyone had posted this recovery on here yet so here you are:
How to install:
Power the phone down and then put phone in to fastboot, POWER+Camera.
Plug usb in to PC.
Open CMD.
Put the file in the root of the C drive. (C:\)
In CMD type: cd C:\
Then type: Fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img
Once flash is finished type: Fastboot.exe reboot
As soon as the LG logo appears hold down the home button and wait for your new recovery to appear.

Well it's faster @ Backup of files. Similar restore speed though. Also has the ability to partition your SD straight from the Recovery. Which is a great feature for 2.1 users. There are other new features on it too. Not looked at everything yet, but if you require I'll have a good look tonight.
Ok great i will install tomorrow with my pc

Sounds like you don't have fastboot. What ROM do you have flashed on your phone? Is it a stock Android version 1.6, 2.1 or do you have a custom ROM 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3? You need a custom ROM with fastboot mode enabled - an explanation of this is beyond the scope of this thread. Try this thread to flash a 2.1 ROM with fastboot enabled. Sorry to be brief but there are tutorials on flashing recovery images and this thread is really just a newsflash for a new release... HTH
I have stock rom 2.1. I did not flash anything yet exept root.

If you have a stock rom you can't flash recovery because you don't have fastboot.

You CAN flash recovery with a non-fastboot enabled ROM. Here's the tutorial:
JackG from MoDaCo said:
Yes there is, make sure you have the fastboot rom flashed and you are rooted, and download something called "flash_image" (from the attachments below) and put it in the root of your SD Card, get your recovery image in the root of the card too.
Then, download Terminal Emulator from the market when it opens press the menu button and select "Toggle Soft Keyboard" when the keyboard comes up type in
CODE
su
cd /sdcard
chmod 755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(Change the recovery.img to the name of your recovery image eg. recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img or recovery_clockwork_2.5.0.5_swift.img)
Then, reboot the phone, and hold down the Menu+Power and you should be welcomed with the Clockwork menu.

You must update your phone to the latest firmware before doing this guide!
If you just bought the Atrix it is not up to date out of the box!
.
*att 1.8.3 required. 3 bricks confirmed from users not being on 1.8.3 before unlocking the bootloader!
* changed the thread to have the 1.8.3 pudding full rom instead of just the bootloader to have a higher success rate. July 14, 2011 10:00pm PST*
If you do not have version 5.1.0 of the motorola drivers uninstall your drivers and install the ones from this post.
Warning!!! After unlocking your bootloader do not flash any OTA updates or sbf roms after unlocking!
You can and will hardbrick your device!
MAKE SURE your BATTERY has a FULL CHARGE before your attempt to unlock or flash anything!

FAQ
Q: Does this void my warranty?
A: Yes
Q: why after I flash CWM recovery do i get a android guy instead of the recovery menu?
A: Read this post for the solution. We said do not apply ota updates!
Q: How can I downgrade my atrix after I unlock?
A: Flash one of the FruitCake Roms
Q: Can I brick my atrix?
A: Yes they're is always that chance. Here are some simple things to remember that can save your phone from a hard brick.
1. Always make sure you have a full charge prior to flashing.
2. Once you are free of motorola stay that way.
3. Do not flash sbf files to restore to stock if you mess up. reflash the CWM zip or fastboot images
4. Do not flash ota updates.
3. After you unlock the only time you should ever have to use rsdlite again is to flash a radio.
4. moto-fastboot and cwm are the primary ways to flash a rom.
5. Again stop flashing with rsd lite after you unlock your bootloader.
6. update to the latest offical ota updates before unlocking.
Q: Why doesn't my mss/smms/data/etc work now
A: Read this thread on fixing your APN's

Well done. I concur that it was probably needed.
Great job. I seriously needed this Sunday/Monday after I went out and upgraded my Captivate to the Atrix. It took quite a while to compile all the information scattered out there to get the job done.
One thing I would add, which was driving me crazy, once you install the drivers, you need to reboot the computer, otherwise RSD Lite will not recognize the phone. I think this is for Windows XP only.

I would like to add to this thread. I am unlocked with Ken's 2.3.4 Rom on my atrix, but it was very frustrating to get because of one prerequisite step- Tenfar's CWM.
Since all developers are using the CWM as a prerequisite, someone needs to write a clear guide on how to get it. I had to read through that entire thread, and ask for help to successfully flash it.
It was just aggravating to go through that much for a supposedly minor step. It took me 24 hours! BULLSH!T.

Uh no, that's what I'm talking about, he states it as a step, that's it. He doesnt give you directions on how to do it, he just tells you to do it. It's supposed to be simple, but look at how many posts are in that thread. Too many posts for a simple step.

oh i get it. your saying that I made it clear and understandable how to actually flash tenfars cwm recovery to the atrix. ok.
btw I also just added more information about bricking and how to avoid it.
OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?

They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

Thanks^ I completely forgot to include that :highfive:
I'm going to jump on this thread too.
I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.

adb reboot recovery or hold down volume up and power button when turning the phone on or hold down volume up, volume down and power button when powering on then in the boot options screen use volume down to move highlight and volume up to select.

Thanks for your help, it much appreciated. However, I think I'll have to bow out now. This stuff is over my head. I was really hoping to get PA on my phone, but I'll just have to settle for TasKarou launcher for pie controls. Thanks for everybody's help.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Just download the recovery file and boot you phone into boot loader, connect phone to PC... In cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recover_name.img" without quotes and recovery_name being the name of your recovery file..

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
Hi! I have an lg OB running ics 4.0.4(V30B). The phone it's rooted and I have CWM installed from Rom Manager. I can acces Recovery from Rom Manager and with the phone off ( VOLUME PLUS + G KEY). The problem is that I can't flash any Rom bellow ics (not even with Smart Flash Tools) without getting bootloops. I can flash Roms based on ics and above( IZS,CM10.1,NAMELESS ROM NIGHTLIES 4.4.4).
Could someone help me?

I was hoping you fixed the issue. I don't know what to do.
It's a matter of unlocking the boot loader. Once you do that, you can jump back and forth between ICS-based ROMs and everything else.
Gingerbread ROMs include the boot loader (marvel and Huexxx).

Man I can flash ICS-based ROMs .JB and KK, I can't flash GB stock or GB-based ROMs, not even with SFT.
I think the bootloader it's unlocked because I can acces CWM from switch off phone(key combo)....I am confused because i read many tutorials but they are contradictory
That happends also with me 2 times.
Just flash CWM recovery again.

Try toii install a ROM right after rebooting from flash.
What I did is: Install a JB ROM, After, I reinstall CWM with ADB, reboot and then I could install any rom.

Did you unlocked the bootloader first? can you put a link with your froyo and SFT?
I am from Romania so I need an Europe Open
No, I don't tried to unlock bootloader, but like you , I got the bootloops every time I downgrade from ICS, Nameless or cyanogen roms . I use original Froyo - flashed with SFT , then upgrade to GB with Cwm recovery patch- flashed with SFT, then boot to recovery and install Nameless. I will give you the links, once I uploaded to my dropbox.

UP! When I use the bootloader unlocker app the flashing process take about 2-3 seconds and the app closing by itself without any message like "succes". I even tried to flash a u-boot img uploaded by huexxx and at the second reboot the phone stucks on lg logo without flashing leds

Did you already try the alternative way without the app? Which means load the files to your sdcard and afterwards type the dd if=xxxx of=xxxx? This could show if it works or fails. And did you ever flash the LU5900 port? So the early ICS ROM released by Redy, Gabwerkz and me. Try the manual unlock first.

OK I have the terminal emulator on my phone.
I've read the thread and it says "Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery."
I have downloaded all on my laptop(bootloader recovery and su) but I am confuse....what's with that "su"?
Do I have to put it on the root of the sdcard too?
Sorry for my noob question
