I think '>' has error
You'd better typing it in terminal no in cmd
need root and type in terminal
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
reboot recovery
It will help you

how to replace? by using metamorph? i did with root explorer and ended up with bricked x10 mini.
It's probably best to do it via ADB.
yes adb / shell is my favourite method
I use Root expl. only to rw mount /system partition.
How to do via adb?

0. Root !
1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk
2. adb shell
3. su
4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk
6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. sync
9. reboot
why cat and not mv/cp ? Because the file is created with "root" user and group and not "sdcard" group.
Means the framework file is first placed on sd card which i want to replace? Asking noob questions cause dnt want to install whole software again

Here, I'll try to explain what happens
1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk
-copies "frarework-res.apk" from ADB's folder and moves it to the phone's SD card, names it "fr-black.apk"
2. adb shell
-opens the linux shell on the phone
3. su
-goes into superuser mode, i.e. runs apps as admin if you're familiar with windows terms
4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
-remounts the /system folder on the phone so that it is read-write, allowing you to mess with the system files
5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk
-backs up the default framework-res.apk from the phone by moving it to the SD card
6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-copies the fr-black.apk from the SD card and puts it in the old framework-res' place
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-changes the user permissions for the new file

I'm stuck in Recovery and trying to push a file to /system to try to fix things, however I'm not able to mount it as read/write using adb
$ mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl12 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl12 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
su
Permission denied
Any solution?
Ok so the Rezound has the bootloader unlocked and rooted with 1click method.
Root Explorer, and Root Checker verify.
Going into adb I am trying to adb rm /system/app/".apk"
It doesnt work.
I tried adb remount and it is not letting me and says operation not permitted.
If I type in adb shell I get the $, then type in su and get #
Titanium Backup. More than worth the money. You can freeze, remove, and backup anything/everything.

Try ROM Toolbox. You can find it free in Market.

This Will Mount The System As "read/write" And Switch It To "ro" To Go Back To "read-only"

I would suggest to drop the extra bits that someone could mis-type and shorten this to
"busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
It's worked for me and takes a little chance out of the equation. Just my opinion take it for what it's worth.
I Was In A Rush Yesterday That I Typed In The Wrong Code And Just Realized It Now When He Said It Didn't Work. It's All Fixed Thanks For The Suggestions Always Appreciated On My Posts Or Threads.
How can I do this without a sd card... thanks in advance.

Flash the recovery image?
Root
Adb push a flash_image binary to /system/bin or xbin
adb push recovery.image to /cache or something
flash_image recovery /cache/recovery.img
I'm trying to flash the recovery without a SD card, because my phone can't mount a SD card anymore. So I'm using the recovery here http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-v-custom-recovery.html and Flash_image to flash it, but I need ADB codes to do so. I'm not very good with ADB, so I need the ones without the flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /sdcard/ part. :/

It the same thing as tvall has mentioned but I will make it more easy for you.
As mentioned in the link that you have provided, just do this instead:
A) Type in 'adb remount'
B) Copy recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img to platform-tools directory where android SDK is installed.
C) Do a 'adb push recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /system/xbin'
[Now the recovery image is inside your phones memory @/system/xbin location]
Following are the existing steps from the link: Modified step is made bold.
1) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
2) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
3) chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
4) mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
5) mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
6) flash_image recovery /system/xbin/recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img
7) reboot recover

This error came because there is no file called 'install-recovery.sh' inside /system/etc. This is fine since you are anyways not going to use that file.

This part I am not that clear but it might be that the recovery 'recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img' is corrupt or may be 'flash_image' is corrupt. You can also check for the amount of free memory by typing in 'df' and 'free' respectively. df would give you phone memory stats and free would give you RAM stats. Verify if anything is too low.
For the last permission denied error do a 'ls -l' at /system/xbin and check for the permissions.
I will look around to see if I can get some clues till then, lets wait for someone who can help you better.
[ADVICE: Since you are playing around with system binaries make sure you take a backup of /system/bin atleast.]

I tried again about 8 hours ago. I got through everything with no error, but when I got to recovery, it was still the old one. I'll try again once I get home.

Other option (if your phone is rooted)
Install RomManager and install CWM or alternative.
If you're not rooted you need to do that first.
After that you can flash any recovery you want and you don't need to mess with adb
You can try to flash a recovery via LGMDP. I've flashed CWM 4.0 by this way.

Can someone with a sd card, and adb, test this out? I don't want to test it out, cause without a sd card mounter, if it doesn't work, I'm screwed. If it doesn't work, I'm sure you have a nandroid on your sd card, hopefully. Please and thank you.
