No, adb reboot recovery results in hard reset. Boot in recovery using key combination for now.

This is a NO! We CAN NOT overclock the CPU of our device because IT IS ALREADY FACTORY OVERCLOCKED to the max!
LG L7 CPU is normally running at 800+MHz, but it was certified for stable operation at 1008MHz by Qualicomm for LG and as we already know - it is getting quite overheated during heavy workloads.
So - Cyanogen Mod custom ROM - WILL have the overclocking options, of course, but in our case they will mainly be used for UNDERclocking in order to further extend the battery life.
Cyan Mod is more likely to be used in L7 as a memory management tool and possibly - to resolve the issues with transfer of applications to the SD Card via usage of ext3/ext4 partitions.
We can flash from cache but not sdcard but moving to correct partition using adb or terminal should work too.

Try to flash the CWM_L7.zip in the stock recovery mode but fail due to signature verification.
What's wrong? Do we have to sign the recovery with LG signature?
Isn't the bootloader unlocked?

I AM NOT A DEVELOPER!!! All credits to the developers and those who found the ways in order to develop for our device...I just manage the first post!!! 34
Already checked and can confirm that everything works perfectly well!
For non-expert users I created a simplified procedure for installation of boot unlock and touch recovery. Here are the guidelines:
1. Download the attachment l7cwm.zip and unpack it in the root of your C: drive. It will create a folder C:\L7CWM.
2. Attach your L7 P700/P705 phone via USB cable. 'USB Debugging' option has to be active. Phone should be in "Charge only" mode.
3. Open the folder c:\L7CWM and run the file Flash_Bootloader.bat - this will unlock the bootloader and the phone should restart
4. Open again the same folder and run Flash_Recovery.bat - this will flash the new custom touch controlled recovery and phone should restart again.
5. If you want to use the recovery the simplest way - attache the phone via USB again and this time run Reboot2Recovery.bat file - the phone will restart, the LG logo will be displayed for a few seconds and the the phone will enter Recovery Mode.
Feel free to experiment, BUT BE WARNED - ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF USAGE OF THIS MODE IS ENTIRELY ON YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!
NB: I myself successfully made a backup of my current phone state, then rebooted the phone, removed a couple of applications, went back to recovery and restored for the backup I have made. All removed applications had been successfully restored which proved that the backup/restore functionality is 100% reliable.
NB#2: For the moment I'll NOT recommend to try flashing any custom/Cyanogen/MIUI ROMS as far as their development is a early pre-alpha stage. Please be patient!19Just to let everybody know, LG L series phones are receiving their apropriate device forums TODAY. I tried my best to achieve this, wrote to like 8 mods and administrators, organized people in the new device request thread, i wanna thank you all and we are going to meet up soon in our new home, device forum. All the threads will be moved to their device forums.18GUIDE: HOW TO FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE via KDZ
(In case of bootloops or soft bricks when you want to try something at your device or to update in the latest version of your country manually)
1) Download the latest firmware of your country from here -> LG OPTIMUS L7 FIRMWARES
2) Download this folder -> KDZ and unzip it
3) Download the latest drivers for the device from LG site (Windows USB Drivers) -> www.lg.com
4) Enable USB Debugging mode at your device from System Settings->Programmer Options (or sth like this)->tick USB Debugging Mode
5) Go System Settings -> Connectivity -> PC Software
6) Open the folder you unzipped the KDZ and run the file KDZ_FWD_UPD.exe
7) Close the device and put it in Emergency Mode (Push Volume Up+Power at the same time until the device vibrates and then release them)
8) Plug the device in the PC via USB
9) Go to the KDZ screen at your PC and choose Type: 3GQCT and Phone Mode: EMERGENCY
10) At KDZ file above, choose the file .kdz you've downloaded in step 1.
11) Click Launch software update and the flashing begins.
That's it! After this, the device should close and open. If after the shutdown of the device, the screen is black, open it youself. When the LG bootanimation stops, it should appear a white screen "Android Update". As always, I am not responsible for anything happens to your device, and of course BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT FROM YOUR DEVICE!
ALL VERSIONS ROOTING GUIDE (THE HARD WAY)
All credits go to skuskom for finding the way
I will try to gather in one post all the info about how to root all versions of LG Optimus Firmwares according to skuskom.
This method is not for noobs and it's little tricky.
Idea:
I saw that during kdz flashing (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1), flashing tool creates temp directory with unpacked image in c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone\system.img.ext4
So to have rooted firmware is enough to modify system.img.ext4 and flash it somehow into the phone.
Sucessfull procedure:
1. during kdz flashing backup original system.img.ext4
2. mount system.img.ext4 and insert files needed for root (su, busybox, superuser.apk)
3. under Linux in terminal create mount dir and mount image on this dir:
sudo mkdir /mnt/image
sudo mount -o loop /path_to_image/system.img.ext4 /mnt/image
4. copy files for rooting into image:
sudo cp /path_to_su_file/su /mnt/image/xbin
sudo chown 0.0 /mnt/image/xbin/su
sudo chmod 06755 /mnt/image/xbin/su
sudo cp /path_to_busybox_file/busybox /mnt/image/xbin
sudo chmod 755 /mnt/image/xbin/busybox
sudo cp /path_to_superuser_file/superuser.apk /mnt/imagr/app
5. umount image:
sudo umount /mnt/image
6. continue in Windows with flashing KDZ and replacing original image with patched one
7. after successful flashing install busybox with adb:
7.1
run adb shell:
adb shell
7.2
in adb shell execute:
su root
mount -o remount,rw /system
/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin
8. restart phone and rooting is done.
9. start again kdz flashing and check direcotry c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone. As soon as system.img.ext4 will be decompressed in full size replace it with modified image and flashing tool will flash it.
Enjoy
Also, there is a way to avoid the editing of the system.img.ex4. The way is someone else to root it and you have only to flash it.
So, what simply you have to do is to take the rooted system.img.ex4, go to step 9. of skuskom's guide and replace the file during flashing. It's very tricky way, be sure you have read again and again all instructions carefully before attempt rooting. As always YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOONE IS RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND ALWAYS KEEP BACKUP OF WHAT YOU NEED.
Hope I've helped. Nothing of the above is mine. Credits to all the guys that helped so that I could find and gother in one post all these info...
