Bricked Lg p930

Hey swetness can u plz help with this:

i bricked my LG p930 a month ago by replacing sim cards, i have looked through this forum for methods to unbrick it, followed hereric's method and got it back to stock ICS and rooted it, but the device keeps rebooting randomly every now and then. i found in a different forum that this is will be solved by flashing a new baseband firmware but i can't do it since the cwm i downloaded from play store is old. will your method work for me? if so please provide me with the details on how to proceed with it since i'm a newbie in this world. thank you!

I have P936 with 2.3.6 and I can't root it by any methods... I tried everything... If I'll update it to ICS can I root mine device, install CWM and then CM 10.1 by this metod FOR SURE?? I'm confused because of posts I read in this topic.

Yes....only the original version of Gingerbread can be rooted. ICS IS the way to go.

Baseband won't do it....some Nitros just cannot handle ICS, but are stable with Gingerbread. What version of ICS, you might try 100% stock?

This might be a long shot, but have you tried a different sd memory card or SIM card? Just to eliminate those as possibilities.

    NOW YOU CAN INSTALL CWM DIRECTLY FROM ICS
    INSTALL AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WITHOUT UNBRICKING​

    A few months ago I found this thread on XDA :http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42657066

    This thread provided a way to install CWM from Jellybean V30C for the SU640 without unbricking the phone first. Now not exactly the same, the phones are close enough that it peaked my interest. Digging into it I discovered that the partition mmcblk0p7 contains the bootloader, and it was as simple as pushing the unlocked bootloader from Gingerbread to the correct partition, therefore bypassing the entire need to unbrick the phone first and thus allowing the install of CWM. :)

    So I got brave enough and installed the P936 v10i Gingerbread ROM and used the command in ADB shell to extract the bootloader:
    dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/bootloader.img. After this I restored my phone completely to stock. Rooted using the root at the above link, then ran my batch file and I had CWM no Security Error!!

    The steps are simple:

    Start with stock ICS (any version, carrier or phone version p93x). v20c, v20d, v20e, or v20f.

    1. ROOT PHONE with the root from the above link or any method that works for you.

    2. Run my batch file.

    3. Install a custom ROM.

    Before anyone asks me I used v 6.0.1.5 TOUCH for CWM. There are actually several reasons why. For me v 6.0.4.5 was incompatible with any ROM with kernel version 3.4. Also if I would initiate a backup from the Rom Manager app, CWM couldn't locate the backup directory.

    ENJOY
    :victory:




    First this only is recommended for LG's Nitro HD models P930, P935 & P936. I do not recommend installing on the SU640 or LU6200.

    Awesome work.

    Where did you get CWM 6.0.1.4? Is it the recovery.img located in the zip in the OP? I have two P930s and both have 6.0.4.5 installed. On one, I can get into recovery without a problem, the other one can't.



    Thanks

    You know what, I had a typo and will fix, it should have been....6.0.1.5 and not 6.0.1.4. Sorry I was going off of memory.
