How to Flash a Custom Recovery on the LG Thrill 4G

I. Before You Begin:
1. You must have rooted your device before doing this procedure. The rooting guide is available here.
2. Make sure your device has at least 50% of battery life left to ensure an uninterrupted process.
II. Downloading Required Files:
1. CWR Tool (It’s attached in the first post of the thread)
III. Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the LG Thrill 4G:
1. Download and place the CWR Tool on your Desktop.
2. Extract files from the CWR archive to your Desktop. Use WinRAR to do so.
3. Enable the USB debugging option on your device by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development>>USB debugging, tick-mark the box.
4. Connect the device to your PC using the USB cable.
5. Right-click on the 1click_CRW.exe file you have on your Desktop and choose Run as administrator.

Hi Mahesh Makvana.
I’m in trouble with my Optimus 3D (same as Thrill). I need to copy the data of the phone. But I don´t have access to it (because a password that someone set). So, I installed ClockWorkMod in order to boot into recovery mode, access the phone using ADB and copy my data : )… But, it didn´t work : (… Because, when i boot into recovery mode and plug the usb cable, there is a device called “LGE COSMO USB Device” and I didn´t find out which driver is needed.
I post my problem in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46752151
Can you help me?
