I've rooted my Bell P930 using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 ... i was failing using windows 7, but succeeded using WINDOWS XP.

EDIT: nevermind, i just read your above post, bleeeeh =) as for you crashes, i dont really know avatar, but FULL WIPE before flashing a ROM is recommended in my experience.

FULL WIPE:

Factory reset, wipe system, wipe dache, wipe dalvik.

Flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot .... if that doesnt work you might want to try another ROM, CM10.1.3 is pretty much to more stable of all, personnaly im using CM11, not having any issues other than my phone slows down when battery is running out, still in developement.



DO you have to use the unbrick guide to be able to flash a rom? Or could I root the p930 for bell with say superoneclick then just downloat TWRP from goo manager and flash away?? IM so confused by this phone!

    Just wanted to post a quick thanks to audit13, Truepeace, Swetnes and just1nsama for their help in getting this to finalllly work for me. I'm super happy that this phone is far more useful (and speedy) than before! I really appreciate it guys! :victory:

    Did you try Matman's unbricking guide? I don't think there is any way to root unless you go through the unbrick process.

    I haven't tried that yet, but I guess I will try that! I thought these other ways would work, but oh well! Thanks for the tip, I'll report back if it works/doesn't work :good:

    I believe you need to revert back to GB in order to unlock the bootloader and get root access which the unbrick process requires.

    I highly recommend using a WinXP x86 machine if possible. I didn't have much luck with x64 machines.

    Ah, so I found it, but it says its for SU640 only? Not for P930?

    As long as its the root file it's ok. DO NOT use the cwm link it might brick your phone. Use the one from my thread

    I tried that method as well and it also has the permission denied error...I'm gonna give up soon I think, nothing works! :(

    Try uninstalling the LG drivers. Reboot the computer then reinstall, then reboot. After that use the LG mobile support tool to update the phone back to v20e. Then try the root method again. Just remember to follow the steps precisely.
