I need clockwork installed instead of Amon-Ra. Can I just flash CWM over AR, or do I have to flash back to stock, root etc...
Thanks.

Flash whatever recovery you need from here. You can flash CWM from your amon-ra. Read the thread.
Oh my God!!! Whatever you do don't flash the clockwork from inside amon!!!!!!!!! You will **** everything up
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Easy way is to just download the free rom manager app and flash it from there. First option in the app. Or put the PC36100.zip from the clockwork mod thread on the root or your SD. Then power down your phone and hold volume down+power button and it will get you into the bootloader it will scan automaticly foe the file and it will ask you to update. Hit yes and then it will ask you to reboot. Hit yyes and you will have clockwork mod

You can flash cwm over amonra. The above quoted thread contains flashable zips of the recoveries. This is the best method to switch recoveries. I have changed it 2 or 3 times and have faced no problem. The zips are unsigned so you will have to disable signature verification before flashing. Using rom manager has caused bricking in many users.

There are 2 safe methods to flash ClockworkMod:
1) using adb method and flash .img file
2) download from the market Rom Manager, install, open it and choose "Flash ClockworkMod recovery", it will auto download cwm and flash it.

I suppose that you even can't boot in to your phone. If it is like that, try to go into recovery (vol down + home + power button combo), wipe all data and reflash your ROM.

Its not called bricked you just did things wrong. Dont spoil rom manager image.! I've been using rom manager to flash thing like 200 time not even a single unsuccessful flash, let even brick.
A brick is when phone is totally dead no logo no recovery no fastboot no adb. Just like phone without battery.
And be precise like you were on this rom and than I did this and that.... so that everyone can help u better.

2x attempted to flash CWM and two times got fastboot here. If you look @ xda, you can see that clearly there is a serious bug with flashing recovery at least, but have yet to hear anything from the developer.
ROM Manager for recovery flashing = not recommended (from me at least).

3.) After ur downloads are done. Remove the battery.
4.) Plug In ur phone while holding ( VOLUME UP + RETURN ) this would bring ur phone in EMERGENCY MODE.
5.) open KDZ Updater. In Type choose 3GQCT and in PhoneMode use EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY . choose the KDZ file u downloaded.. and hit the launch software update button.
6.) If it fails. Go to device manager. Under Modems Disable LGE Virtual Modem or LGE Android USB Modem. and restart PC and repear step 4 and 5.This should Do the work
7.) if u're on version 2.2.2 download Gingerbreak(Search the forum) and root ur phone . Install custom recovery and flash whatever ROM u want

Yes. Use z4root to root if your on 2.2 and you can get official application on xda just search. I am a Optimus T user even though V says otherwise. Our Optimus can use any p500 rom. I'm using Mik's cm7 and Franco's kernel. Also, if you use p500 roms you won't get wifi calling.

If your Optimus has a new screen (purchased the phone in or after August 2011) you need to use Xionia CWMA v1.2518.6 recovery.

Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about this will chime-in, but it seems if you use Xionia recovery, you have to use a ROM with a Xiona kernel.
Using a ClockworkMod or ClockworkMod-based recovery is highly recommended. The semi-official IHO Recovery for the VM670 is currently at version 4.0.1.4.3. The aospCMod 3.0.2.8 and stock CWM 3.2.0.1 recoveries appear to work properly for most people as well. Those with newer (purchased in or after August 2011) or refurbished phones should use Xionia CWMA 1.2518.6 to avoid a potential black screen. Xionia recoveries sometimes create problems so it is only recommended if you will be flashing a build with Xionia kernel built in.

Hopefully this makes things easier for you, when you download the Xionia recovery flash it using this.

Well it shows all blue colors (Which I can deffinatly deal with) and says

E: Bad boot message
"recovery"
I don't mind that message either BUT it don't let me install any roms or do anything in recovery, I wanted to install 2.3 and can't with this happening.
Sorry if there's another thread I am a little lazy looking for them, but I searched for about 20 minutes to find a fix but there's none.
