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!

Not necessary, it needs a custom recovery image to flash custom ROM. Which needs an unlocked boot loader :/

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 :]
Anyways, good luck!

You can root with PurpleDrake.

I am not sure yet if there is an available CWM for locked bootloaders for ICS 4.0.4.
I already have unlocked bootloader, so I just flashed a kernel with Root and CWM.

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.

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.

You gotta find stock recovery and flash like you did in CWM recovery.

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.

You don't need to root Lollipop to install a custom ROM. In case you just want to root lollipop, download the super user zip file. Just google it. Launch TWRP and install the zip file. That's all.

I have been trying this method but doesn't seems to work, I already changed the name of the twrp img file but nothing :crying: any suggests?
You need to tell it where the file is located, the easiest way to do this is to put the TWRP file in a folder and then hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse inside the folder you put the file in. You should see an option to open command window here. Select this and try flashing TWRP again. It should work. Here is an explanation with pictures of what I was talking about with the open command window here http://michaelcrump.net/power-tip-for-windows-users-open-command-prompt-here/

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))
