My phone is rooted, i dont think the bootloader is unlocked, after i installed CWM using "L9RecoveryInstaller_1.5.0.apk" everytime i try and boot into recovery i just get the dead android. i also rooted using "LGPwn.apk"
Need help! my final goal is to install Cyanogenmod, if someone can help me find a way to do that it would be amazing.
Thank you

You cannot install CM or custom rom on locked bootloader. Please unlock your phone boot loader first. And for recovery problem, did you install busy box? That recovery need busybox installed to work.

My son, in all his wisdom didnt see a need for the custom recovery or nandroid. Except now his phone wont boot so I am unable to get an adb shell. It is stuck at lg boot screen. I can get to the stock recovery which is s-on apparently. I do have backups of the stock img files. system, boot, recovery, etc. He said he was trying to add a custom kernel to the boot img via adb when he encountered the problem. Is it possible currently to flash a new kernel and or rom via the stock recovery? I cant seem to get past the verification. Any help is greatly appreciated.....
Go to stickies on forum and you will see what you have to do.. you need KDZ updater and the stock image.. that's what worked for me..

You need bootstrap recovery and you can flash locked 2.3.5 roms like hybrid rom from peter_. Dont try roms like beanstalk or miui. It will brick your device

Hello!
I have a problem with my Jiayu G3, I rooted it using Bin4ry's method, and used CWM to flash Android 4.1.2 , all was finished well, but whenever I tried to powe the phone , it always went into a boot loop. I read somewhere to try and flash Lewa Recovery using CWM, and now the G3 won't even boot into CWM and Android.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I think you will have to flash a new rom using mtk sp flash tool. You may have to try several versions before one works. Jiayu.es (in Spanish) should have all the files you need. Or, hopefully you made a backup and can just reflash cwm recovery and restore.
After installing a custom rom, my phone got bricked. Now I dont have any ideas how to do it. I even made a backup before installing a custom rom through CWM. But I cannot even boot into CWM because of the bootloop. Please guys. I need help.

Just use One touch upgrade. Connect your phone to your computer and then start the upgrade. Your devices will have an hard- reset, and the cwm will be deleted.
What had happened:
I got a free tablet, decided to **** around with it....
so, i decided to use odin to flash TWRP recovery with it..
however.. when i try to get to recovery mode, it only shows a ! mark.
therefore, i tried to flash a rooted system image. it worked.
then, with my newly found rooted device, i tried to fix my recovery by
attempting to use cwm.... i pressed on to "boot to recovery", and now its
stuck on a infinite loop, booting to the ! mark. the only thing i can access is download mode.
so.. how do i fix it? feel free to ask any qns i will try to provide the infomation needed.
thanks.
Well, the problem here seems to be that you messed up with the boot or the system files, maybe your bootloader is blocked so you need root to flash a custom recovery or ROM and to unlock the bootloader, you should first check the CWM supported devices list before actually flashing Clockwork recovery!
Try to flash a full stock rom through fastboot mode.
