You can enter recovery by typing reboot recovery in a terminal app on your phone if you got root. It is a stock recovery so it would not give you so much options as clockwork recovery.

Install a terminal app, then type:
Su
Sync
Reboot recovery

Press enter after every line

It's like that for everyone or just me?
That can be arranged?
It says this error?

Looks like everyone may have the same issue, only thing we can do is wait and see who can make a recovery for us. I hope there's minor differences.

Update: my device shows the same, so this proves that LG rushed the release of the device.

First of all: Pardon me for my bad english.

My phone is Hungarian T-mobile locked.It did the same.But after root, I was able to go to Stock 3E recovery.

To get cwm and/or twrp, we need to open the bootloader. In "normal" way with adb, I can't open it. Even with G2-s update.zip.

If any dev can find a way to open the bootloader,then it's much easier to make a custom rom and the cwm.

Unlocking the bootloader isn't 100% required but it would help a lot.

You can use this method to work around the SD not being loaded in recovery (install partition wizard home edition.exe and ext2fsd.exe)

DO NOT format the card when you start the phone, it will not be recognised by the system, but it is recognised in the recovery mode using terminal emulator.

I tried it, it works

Actually no, you do not need to unlock the bootloader, my sola has numerous roms on it, with a locked bootloader.
My motorola had a recovery also with a locked bootloader.
The only time unlocking the bootloader helps is,
A: CPU / GPU tweaks
B: (this should be A) Cyanogen roms
C: other start up tweaks that doesn't require you to run scripts on startup.

So it is (not) really needed to have an unlocked bootloader.

You're right,but I sad "easier".. :)
With unlocked bl,we can get cm and other roms..

For cwm(or temp cwm,twrp.. ) not needed,but it's better I think..

Pardon me for bad english.
