Well, I decided to go ahead and post the file for the CWM touch recovery image. This was only tested on a P769(bk) 10e device.
Flash at your own risk, I am not responsible if you FUBAR your phone
Ive tested just about everything and it is stable. Let me know what doesn't work.
https://Download
Sorry I knew I forgot something, the installation instructions: here is how I installed
1. Make sure you have working ADB
2.http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/flash_image.zip. Download flash_image
3. Copy the recovery image for your phone to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
4. Enable USB debugging mode on your device from Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect your device to your computer via USB.
6. Open a Command Prompt window on your computer and enter the following commands:
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
7. This will first transfer flash_image and recovery.img to your phone. Then it will copy flash_image to the /system/bin folder of your Android device and make it executable. Finally, it will flash the custom recovery image to your device using flash_image.
Note that we used c:\flash_image and c:\recovery.img in the first two lines as we had these files extracted at the root of our C drive. If you extracted the files elsewhere, use the appropriate paths and if your recovery image has a different name, use the appropriate name.
Reboot your device once the process is finished and you’re done. You may exit adb and the Command Prompt window on your computer by entering ‘exit’ thrice.
to boot into recovery the keypress is hold volume down and power when turning on or use ROM manager, that works as well.
This may take a few tries depending which version you are on. Like I said this was only tested on a Tmobile P769(bk) on a 10e firmware-- there is no guarantee it will work for your version of the phone. I will be looking into other ways the root the 10G version for the EU Open model.

Completely awesome!
Anybody good with scripts? More specifically a postrecoveryboot.sh so we can avoid any potential boot loops that tend to happen on LG phones lately if an error happens when exiting recovery?
Re: Progress made with custom recovery for p769BLK
I write shell scripts every day. Send me a pm. I may be able to help.

Yes, I'm root.
No, I do not know the location recovery.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 thats the location of the recovery on the P769BK. I dont know if its the same location on yours. but to extract it use Terminal and type
dd if="/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of="/sdcard/recovery.img" without the quotations and it should make a file named recovery.img on the external sd card. once extracted PM it to me and I will take a look at it.

Well i was able to build a CWM touch recovery for the 10e updated P769! Thank you alienngp for pointing out that LG released the source code for the 10e update I guess your hunch was correct LG unlocked the bootloader with that update. Will be uploading the recovery after I try to compile a KDZ just incase something happens.
I want to add a few more bits to the recovery as well.

This is amazing news, L9 release is Sep 2012, and in Jan 2013 they released bootloader? This is really unbelievable news. Looks like constant cursing of people finally worked and they changed their strategy. :laugh:
Sorry I am not developer, and this could be a noob question. Is this unlocked bootloader be used for other variants? I mean for P760 or P765 by any chance? Does this also mean custom roms are very near?
Re: Progress made with custom recovery for p769BLK
I dont know if the other variants are unlocked with the latest update if someone with the other varirants PM me with the recovery.img i would be glad to take a look at them.

Ok seems like I should know this, but how do we flash this? I am not sure how to get into fastboot/bootloader on this phone.
good news! so man bootloader is unlocked? because for flash recovery.img is needed fasboot and for fastboot needed bootloader unlocked! how do you flash recovery?

Is bootloader unlocker or you only did recovery? Maybe, write how to install this.

If LG unlocked the bootloader, how come 10g is unrootable?
it just doesn't make sense, lg still doesn't want us to root. which means one thing... there's o such thing as an unlocked bootloader in the latest 10g

[RECOVERY] ClockWorkMod Official "TOUCH" recovery v5.8.1.8 [UPDATED 24/5/12]
As I seem to have come under a little fire for not stating that you need to be unlocked to install a custom recovery, I thought that I would add a little clarification.
At the time I started this thread the unlock had only just been released, and EVERYONE knew that the methods contained within this thread were only possible if you were unlocked. I apologize for my assumptions.
PLEASE NOTE, YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY AND/OR CUSTOM ROM!
I also received a little flak for not explaining the adb/fastboot processes more clearly. While I can understand that many people who come to XDA are new to the whole custom ROM kettle o' fish, it is my honest opinion that if you have not already read up about ADB and FASTBOOT and have an understanding of how to use them, you most definitely have absolutely no business whatsoever flashing a recovery or ROM at all.
I was a noob when I first arrived here at XDA, but I read and re-read as much information as possible before going anywhere near flashing custom recoveries and/or ROMs to my Desire HD.
There are plenty of great guides around for learning how to use ADB and FASTBOOT, please I implore you, before attempting to flash anything to any device you own, read these guides over and over again until you feel that you have the confidence to flash your device without the need for someone to hold your hand.
I think that about covers everything that I wanted to say other than a big thank you to Swiftks and Striatum_bdr for answering so many peoples questions in this thread.
That's all folks.
As always Peace, Dok
!!!YOU MAY WANT TO GO HERE FOR UPDATED UNOFFICIAL RECOVERIES, BOTH TOUCH AND STANDARD VERSIONS ARE AVAILABLE!!!
Huge thank you to Roach2010 for the updated recoveries.
LETS GET THE FORMALITIES OUT OF THE WAY
1. I did not build this, it is the official CWM touch recovery from the CWM website.
2. If you brick your device flashing this, I am in no way responsible.
3. If you brick your device flashing this, I am in no way responsible.
4. Please, follow all steps very carefully, especially the actual flashing step.
5. I have personally flashed this without issue.
6. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO VERSION OF CWM FOR THE PRIME THAT SUPPORTS EXTERNAL SDCARD STORAGE. USE THE INTERNAL MEMORY FOR ALL YOUR FLASHING NEEDS.
CREDIT: KOUSH FOR HIS AWESOME WORK
So, you want some lovely touch based CWM recovery on your device?
METHOD NUMBER 1: The Fastboot! - NO NEED FOR ROOT
Come right this way you fearless young chap.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
download the tf201 touch recovery, version 5.8.1.8
Now, switch off your device, then hold volume DOWN and the power button together until your Prime shows the RCK screen.
At this point press volume down. This will take you to the options of which fastboot is one.
Switch to fastboot mode by pressing volume DOWN (It's the USB symbol, but you knew that already else you wouldn't be here) then press volume UP to select the option.
Connect your USB cable now, if you haven't already.
Next you need to open a command prompt/terminal window and cd to where you have downloaded the .img
Next type fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-tf201.img
Once the flash has completed (the screen will sit with a full blue bar doing nothing) you can reboot to recovery as per normal, but now you will have the wonderful touch recovery.
METHOD NUMBER 2: The blob!
CREDIT to Striatum_bdr
- download the img file
- rename it as blob file with a more simple name for example cwm_touch.blob
- open Terminal Emulator on your tablet, then:
$ su
# dd if=/"path to blobfile" of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (REPLACE "path to blobfile" with the path to where you have saved the file).
You're done.
Reboot, the blob file will be flashed at boot (same as kernel).
METHOD NUMBER 3: The Terminal noob!
CREDIT to darksiiide
It is also available via ROM Manager, for a fee.
!!!HUZZAH FOR KOUSH!!!
I hope you all enjoy.
My recommendation would be to do a fresh backup of your ROM as soon as you boot into the new recovery, just in case.
AWESOME!!!

Touch Recovery is completely buggy on my phone, I'll wait a little for some user feedback lol...
EDIT: another method (need to be rooted)
- download the img file
- rename it as blob file with a more simple name for example cwm_touch.blob
- open Terminal Emulator on your tablet, then:
$ su
# dd if=/path/to/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
You're done.
Reboot inrecovery as usual, the blob file will be flashed at boot (same as kernel), you'll ony need to reboot in recovery.

No problem using method 2
# 2 also worked perfect for me as well.
Had this and it worked great. I upgraded to stock v.21 firmware and lost root. Not only that, I have no recovery bootloader or fastboot anymore. It informs me that recovery kernel is not found and requires me to hard-reset the device.
Is it possible to flash this through ADB without having to be in fastboot or something?

Through adb you can push the blob renamed file in the same /dev block file than in method 2 but I'm afraid you still need root to do that.. Worth to try adb remount command, and see the result. If no error message then 'adb push /path/to/blob/computer /dev/etc...'
First time I used my terminal emulator and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the guide and feedback everyone.

ClockworkMod Recovery for the Transformer Prime TF201
NEW: Repack of Koush's clockworkmod recoveries to prevent a recovery loop when using ROMS that support reboot to recovery.
These recoveries are not mine and I take no credit for them. I only made a small change to the official recoveries found here
and repacked them into update.zip files.

I also replaced the CWM top hat icon to avoid confusing my repacked recovery with the original version.
I am not responsible for any loss of data or any harm caused by using these recoveries especially if small kittens are involved.
IN CASE YOU FIND YOURSELF HERE AS A RESULT OF HAVING A RECOVERY LOOP OR RECOVERY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE UPDATING PLEASE USE THE COMMAND BELOW
Run the following command from your PC then reboot and any new recovery should be flashed by the bootloader and then android should boot.

Thx Roach!
Thanks for this Roach. This might be a really obvious question but I take it that the reboot to recovery option will have to be enabled by devs? I am using AOKP and the reboot to recovery option still just reboots the tablet after flashing this. Jermaine will have to enable this option in AKOP for it to work, right?
Thanks again. Btw, I am really excited to see what you and Team Eos do with your rom on the Prime

What? Official CWM Touch is still listed as build 5.8.18 on Koush's website. Only new release is the KANG build in the OP (much appreciated by the way ), and as of right now it only works on AOSP Rom.
This seriously needs to get stickied ASAP. I hope fellow Prime owners can appreciate that the devs coming to this part of the forums are some of the very best.
I'm having a bit of a problem... I'm in CWM, which is looping back into itself, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to enter the code that you provided in the OP. My computer installed the ADB drivers just fine, but I can't see anything in which I can enter that code. Any assistance is appreciated.
Edit: Ok, I figured out that I'm supposed to enter that in the Command Prompt window, but every time I try running the command, I get the following:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Any ideas?
I'm really stuck on this, guys. If there is anyone who can help me out, I would be in your debt.

Where did you install the adb/sdk files? You need to be in that directory to run the command. In otherwords, if you have adb installed in C:\tools, you need to do this from the command prompt before running the adb commands:

I am assuming that you already have the adb setup.
Download the recovery and rename it to well recovery then put the "recovery" file on the adb folder
Next open up terminal type "cd" then space bar and drag and drop the folder that you put the recovery file into the terminal then hit enter
Turn off fastboot on your phone and turn on usb debugging and type this into the terminal ./adb devices
If your device shows up then type this ./adb reboot bootloader
then type this ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
wait for it to flash then type ./fastboot reboot bootloader
Then go to the recovery then once you are in the custom recovery go down to developer options
Select Install su and superuser and wait for that to finish.
And boom your rooted and running
I have a mac also and thats what I did

I haven't used it for anything. I just wanted to be sure that I didn't need to put any type of file in the removable sd card. I followed all of the steps including finding the developer option under recovery. From there I selected install su and superuser. It went through the steps and then I rebooted the phone as the next step . However the phone is still not rooted. Btw I am using recovery 3.16. Should I try an earlier version?

TeamWin Recovery Project 2.6.3
So it took a little finesse but we have working TWRP now with f2fs support and touch working.
Device Tree Source: https://github.com/razrqcom-dev-team/
Background and geeky ****:
First off we need DTB (Device Tree Binary) for touch support. The X bootloader adds the dtb onto anything flashed to boot partition. So I built recovery and fastboot it to the boot partition. Ooops image is too big. Recompile kernel with xz compression and loose about 3 MB then it flashes to boot partition. Then I just "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/twrp263.img" and voila we have a working flashable recovery.img with DTB appended
OK, so on to what you came for:
Download: http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/twrp263.img
Reboot to booloader and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp263.img
Hope you guys enjoy!
Special thanks to Dees Troy for the source and for implementing my mkfs.f2fs into TWRP.

Hey brudda, I just got my Dev Edition through Verizon and I can unlock bootloader through the moto website but was just wondering what steps do I need to take to get TWRP running. Do I unlock bootloader first with the moto website but then how do I obtain root? Right now I have root through JCase's PawnMyMoto exploit. Now do I need to start from scratch and get rid of his exploit so I won't be rooted anymore? Sometimes I think I should just wait until a dev has created a nice boot loader unlock, root and flash custom recovery tool.

You just unlock through moto website and fastboot recovery. It will ask you if you want to root when you reboot, if you're not rooted. Or you can flash the superuser of your vice in recovery. No exploit needed when unlocked.

Ok so, I should get rid of the root I'm on and go to moto and unlock bootloader, then in fastboot go to recovery and from there obtain root. Then finally I can flash TWRP. RIGHT?

You don't have to unroot unless you want to.
1. Go to moto bootloader unlock site follow the steps to unlock bootloader.
2. Fastboot flash recovery twrp263.img
3. Boot into recovery. If you are not rooted it will ask you if you want to root when you exit.

Just wanted to say thanks a bunch for doing this. Finally broke down and unlocked. Fastbooted this and made a backup.
just wanted to say thanks this all worked for me.
thank you for this... worked like a charm
Guys it's been a little while since I've used abd so I just wanna make sure I got this right. After unlocking the bootloader at moto website, I download the twrp image file and put it in the same adb folder where fastboot is (within adb folders), then shift + rt click, open command window and push the twrp image file. It's that correct? No YouTube videos yet, huh?
Thanks in advance!

You do not push the image to your phone, you flash it from your computer.
To boot into bootloader mode (fastboot) you can use adb (adb reboot recovery) or hold the power button and volume down for about 5 seconds.
the fastboot command you must issue is fastboot flash recovery <image_name>.img

You need to make sure the twrp img file is in the same folder that your fastboot.exe is in. Open a command prompt. Using the CD command navigate to that folder. Then use the fastboot command listed replacing the entire "<image_name>" with the file name for the recovery.
Side note - once rooted, for a quick no nonsense method to boot into fastboot / recovery, you can install a simple little app called Quick Boot from the Play store.
I rooted the Hydro Elite last night and immediately started cleaning up the Verizon bloatware. I must have went a little crazy and removed an APK from the system/app folder that is required for the phone function to run. I am now just getting FC's on 'com.android.phone' when not in airplane mode. Tried a factory reset to no luck, tried some APK restores from similar models, etc. In my arrogance of thinking I know what I am doing I did not backup the APK's I removed from the system/app folder. Normally this would be no big deal, I could just pull them from the ROM image, or reload an image, or whatever. But, it seems Kyocera or Verizon have absolutely no self-help ROM's on the net to reinstall nor has any custom ROMs been developed for this phone yet. I have the system zip but i dont know what or how to use or flash it/ restore it! SOMEBODY PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME

Try putting the phone in airplane mode then enable wifi, if that works then download "flash GUI" from google play and try installing the zip that way. Its a long shot but you got nothing to loose.
I wish I could but my phone is currently in a bootloop, I could only goto recovery and fastboot

Ok I thought you still had function in airplane mode. I don't own this phone but I am assuming the bootloader is locked. If it is then there is no way out because you have no custom recovery and now way to flash. What options / features do you have in recovery?

How to: Use "adb sideload" on your Android device
Probably every Android power-user at least once in his life used ADB - Android Debug Bridge. It is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device. Using ADB shell commands gives you additional control over your device and sometimes it can save your device from being bricked (example: How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device). You can find some more basic information about ADB here.
Since Android Jelly Bean there has been a new ADB mode available in the AOSP recovery, incorporated by the Android developer community into custom recoveries too. It is called "ADB sideload" and most of you probably have heard about it already. This is an alternate method to the one I wrote about here - How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device. The main difference is that ADB sideload works only with recoveries based on Jelly Bean source or newer. I believe that ADB sideload was created to simplify the process of flashing/restoring Android update.zip packages.
Keep in mind that while using ADB sideload, the regular ADB shell won't work. To be able to use SIDELOAD mode make sure you're running latest ADB drivers from the Android SDK (Platform-tools). Here are the simple steps you need to follow to flash update.zip package using adb sideload mode (based on stock Android recovery):
Place the ZIP package you want to install in the same location where you keep ADB drivers - adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (usually it's SDK\platform-tools)
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Settings > Development on your device
Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the PC you're going to use
Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
Use the volume up/down keys to select "apply update from ADB," then press power to select it
Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm with ENTER:
cd /d <adb.exe location> (for example: cd /d c:\SDK\platform-tools) or you can open your SDK/platform-tools folder, then press SHIFT button and the right-click mouse button and choose “Open command prompt here”
adb sideload <filename>.zip (for example: adb sideload update.zip)
The zip package will begin installing. When it's done, select "reboot system now."
How is that different from the alternative method? You don't have to manually create the proper folders structure, push the file and later install if from inside the recovery menu. The result is basically the same, because ADB sideload is also transferring the zip file into the device internal memory and later it automatically begins the installation procedure. However, it works only with recoveries based on Android Jelly Bean source.

Ok try to enable fast boot on your phone. Then connect to PC. Copy the zip file that you got from the Russian guy and paste into your fast boot folder. Type "Fast Boot name of file .zip" then type " type in commands to reboot your phone. And switch back to your phone, ( click on it from your desktop as if you are going to "safely remove". Google using fast boot to umbirick any android phone" tons of guides. I would post links but XDA does not allow it until I have posted 10 times
OK so which fastboot program do I use? And which fastboot folder exactly do I put the system zip in?

Sorry to hear, not familiar with windows 8. Im out of answers at this point with respect to fastboot. Maybe try contacting kyocera or verizon and tell them your predicament. They may switch out your phone. Kyoceras are unforgiving phones because of locked bootloaders.

Minimal,fastboot is an abbreviated version, should be the same/do the same thing. Look it up on xda forums. Not familiar with it so you are on your own with how it works.
solution?

Hydro Elite CWM (ported from LG Spectrum 2) can be loaded through fastboot from PC (fastboot boot hydro_cwm.img). If you can enter fastboot mode (yellow penguin) you could restore phone by loading CWM and restore from backup.
Link to CWM image: http://yadi.sk/d/sT3hyWWeLPuuD
Another way - flashing whole system.img partition through fastboot flash system system.img. Link to archive with stock 2.03 system image: http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http:%2...ocera_elite.7z
ok here somebody sent me a solution i think this is the correct way , however can break this down to me in more detail.

Not sure you could load CWM since bootloader is locked, but flashing the whole system may do the trick. The exact breakdown is beyond my abilities. Maybe post the question on this forum on how to flash system img via fastboot. That should in theory restore you back to original state.
