You downgrade first, then install a custom recovery like CWM, then install a custom Rom. That kdz file should work fine to downgrade your device because it's for all v500 devices. They all have the same hardware.

Most cm based ROMS work best with the 4.2.2 base that you get by downgrading with the kdz file I just gave you a link to.

I did it. Now my device have CWM-Based Recovery v6.0.5.1 installed. Now its asking

"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.

- No
- Yes disable recovery flash

Should i choose Yes disable recovery flash? EDIT: I tried to go back and it done something. Propably accept that disable recovery flash.

You probably don't want to overwrite the recovery you just installed. It depends on what you are trying to flash. Don't install anything that will overwrite your new aboot partition.

If you install CM, then it wouldn't ask that.

I didint install anything. I booted to recovery as installation said. Now im trying to find some good rom to install. There seems to be no CM rom stable.

Do you have any suggestions for fast and stable rom? Allmost every rom seems to be nightly builds stage. Mahdi seems to be allmost only complete and im going to test it first.

Updated CWM link in OP

Updated CWM to 2014-12-13 sources.

Revert "adbd: switch to su domain when running as root"

This reverts commit c52c5b8e3d690201b2ae009a2d396d1899033e3d.
* This breaks the adb recovery banner, and root_seclabel is not
a valid option on cm11.
Change-Id: I0dede5d38b53b00936ad901e61d65f6119e62ff5

cwm: Allow device-specific recovery modules

Provide a means to include device-specific recovery modules that need to
be built (i.e. not pre-built). A list of recovery modules can be
specified by a device with:
TARGET_RECOVERY_DEVICE_MODULES := rec_mod_one rec_mod_two

Yes, once you have a custom recovery installed, then you can flash the other firmware bases and custom ROMS.

You must use lg flash tool 2014 in order to downgrade.
