Hi francantabria, if your bootloader is still locked (it will be so if you don't unlock it) you can't install a real recovery, but you can install a very similar tool - bootstrap or second init- (the artas182x's one) which needs busybox for working.
Busybox is a set of advanced Linux commands for Android, just Google it.
Cheers. Good luck.

Hi francantabria, of course you can, but the proper order is (giving as a fact that you want to unlock the bootloader, you know that you'll lose the guaranty stuff):
1.unlock the bootloader (previously you need to be familiar with fastboot, install its drivers,...)
2.install a recovery via fastboot (or Nandroid Manager) it could be CWM or TWRP.
3.root easily (flashing SU and busybox from the recovery).
4.flash custom rom.
If you follow this way read the tutorials seriously and do it the exact way.
Respect the timing issue: be very careful. I have not unlocked yet, so my experience, at the moment, is only by reading about it. (Fastboot drivers installed and a little more).
Cheers. Good luck.

I tried searching for custom ROMs for my LG Optimus L9, but didn't come up with any successful results. I also tried to CyanogenMod, but there too the phone was not listed. Can someone tell me some of the ROMs for the phone?

P760 rom is compatible with P765 (Remove Nfc.apk by root browser to disable NFC). But you must unlock your phone boot loader first. You're new here so I assume that your phone bootloader is still locked. If you install custom rom without unlock bootloader, you will get security error.
PS. you should post this question in FAQ forum.

Does unlocking the bootloader wipe all the phone data? Also, I want to install CWM recovery. But when I installed ROM Manager, it said that CWM is not yet available for my phone. Do you know of any workaround?

It wipe all your data. So you need to do a backup first. Please use Locked BL CWM, it's somewhere in dev forum. And it's good that CWM recovery doesn't support P765 because if you install CM, you will soft-brick your phone. You must unlock your phone bootloader before flash any custom rom.
Hello,
Some time ago I tried to root and install a custom rom for my lg l9 p760(v20i) but I failed; error was: "security error" at boot.
Now, bad ideas comes to my mind again and I want to repeat the process.
My question is pretty simple: in order to have a rooted phone with a custom CM rom, what steps should I follow, and most important in what order: root, busybox, unlock bootloader and then install cm recovery?
Thanks.

Thank you for you answer.
So this is where i was wrong: last time I just rooted the phone,then using an app from Play Store I installed CWM then got that annoying "security error";
Thanks again and have a great day!
I'm gonna guess you used Rom Manager to install CWM.
From what I've read that's a big no-no on our phones.

How did you flash CWM without unlocking bootloader?
And I think the bootloader can only be unlocked only with stock recovery.

Thanks for replying i flashed CWM using the Rom manager app. Do you have any idea if i can get the recovery to work again?
You gotta find stock recovery and flash like you did in CWM recovery.
This is my idea and true in logical. Isn't it.
Try at your own risk and Good luck, mate.

Thank you for tying to help me .Finding a stock recovery and flash it looks pretty hard. I would like to know why i can't unlock my bootloader now? Does unlocking the bootloader require you to have access to the recovery? Again thanks for helping i really appreciate it
I have unlocked many bootloaders of many MTK devices. The phone will be reboot to stock recovery and format the whole phone after unlocking bootloader. So I said that you need stock recovery.

You gotta find your stock recovery yourself by googling or request approriate one on the forum.
And see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163974 to make a flashable zip.
Or try this flashing recovery.img directly using Mobile uncle tools (I am not sure this would work. 50% to work)
See my thread here to try latter way.

I found everything needed for the rooting process + instructions, but it says I should wipe everything and install the .zip ROM and Gapps from the custom recovery menu, but I can't access it, because the operation requires rooted phone so in this case first my phone has to be rooted and then I install the Custom recovery image. But I can't install the ROM without custom recovery and I can't have install the custom recovery without root. The heck!

I suppose you want to unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery? If yeah then root first then follow this (IT WORKS WITH LG E975, not sure about d620 as I don't use it)
Install FREEGEE,
Grant root access
-Flash clockworkmod/twrp and unlock bootloader. Would be better if you seek assistance from d620 users :]

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))
