  1. Hey people, I’m trying to load a custom rom, made all the step-by-step and it looked to be okay but when I enter rom manager (from clockwork mod) and set reboot and enter to recovery it reboots but shows me a message (with tiny console type in the upper side of screen, while LG logo is in the center) that says somethin like ‘go to fastboot’ and ‘error loading recovery’. I would thank any help please!
