Really very easy, just download the file from post 1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
There are two batch files: before.bat & after.bat. This method works to allow you to keep root moving from 1 rom to another. Just follow these steps:
1. Start with a rooted OS. Doesn't matter which.
2. Select UNKNOWN SOURCES from Security and debug from developer.
3. Plug the phone into the computer and select software mode. Run BEFORE.BAT.
4. Run app to install new OS of choice. (ie KDZ installer)
5. Wait for install to complete and when phone boot loops run AFTER.BAT.
6. Do a battery pull.
7. Hold down volume down while hitting power, keep held down till white text appears then release and press power button twice.
8. Welcome to your new and rooted OS.

But if you want to install a custom ROM then you must downgrade to gingerbread so cwm can be installed and to do so you must use the unbricking guide at the link provided a few posts up.

Trying the root method you suggested. I successfully back up my data, then restore, then after the restart, it says:
can't find RIC file in E:\My Downloads.
The RIC file is in the "stuff" folder AFTER being extracted, so why is it looking for it in My Downloads, and not My Downloads\stuff? I tried to copy the RIC file from the "stuff" folder to My Downloads\, and now it says:
remote object '/system/bin/ric' does not exist
Going to copy files to its place

The first thing anyone is going to want to do once AlphaRev's S-OFF process is complete will be to get your device properly rooted within Android. I have created a simple update zip which will take care of the following for you:
Re-install the stock kernel, using a rooted ramdisk (credit jcase).
Install the Superuser app and su binary in /system/xbin.
Install and setup Busybox in /system/xbin.
Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).

AlphaRevX patches CWM for your recovery during the S-OFF process. And even if it fails you can follow a guide posted on this forum on how to fastboot it.
I flashed this .zip through CWM and Titanium backup won't work. It's telling me that it is unable to find root. I clicked the "Problems?" button and still nothing happened. I remember with the Eris it would run the busybox after you pushed that button. I might just try to install busybox manually as described on Titanium's wiki.
Any other thoughts before I do that?
I flashed this file on my stock but rooted/soff incredible 2, and i seem to have lost root privileges. Luckyily I made a backup before I flashed this so now I'm back to my original problem, of not being able to fix permissions via rom manger because it doesn't see root.
Hey, I have S-Off and patched CWM, but when I hold down the volume button and try to power on, it goes straight to the HTC screen. What am I doing wrong? Does fastboot need to be turned off?

You can only install CWM when coming from a Gingerbread official ROM. Meaning you have to follow unbricking instructions to downgrade to an official Gingerbread ROM, then flash CWM using that. Currently there is no CWM-flashable version of Bell's ICS though, but one will probably pop up soon.
hi and help please
5. Connect phone to PC and start root_P880.bat for this do i use mass storage or the LG software?
also when i run the root_P880.bat i get only fail and cannot open and acess denied in the command prompt
the cell reboots twice and then the command prompt window closes
i need help
thank you
edit : it worked
i'll keep y original post just to show that when you get this issue
just try agin and again and again (from run the app and reboot part)
cheers to you for finding and posting this method
Once you do this method is it possible to unroot without going through the unbricking guide and reflashing the ROM?
Edit: NVM it looks like you can do it with the SU app, it says so on the second last page of original thread.
CWM
So is anyone working on a cwm recovery image for ics now that we have an easy root method? is this a simple thing to do?

Hi everyone. I had a long journey trying to root my phone, I originally had ICS and tried following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645 It was able to get my phone rooted by step 7, but then I couldn't get into recovery mode, it kept giving me:
---------------
Secure booting Error!
Cause : boot certification verify
-------------------------
------------------------------
Enter the fastboot...
Enter the fastboot...
Long time no see!
-------------------------------------------------
So I thought perhaps this doesn't matter at this stage and so I continued on with the tutorial. Eventually (long story short) something happened and now I have downgraded to Android 2.3.6 but my phone is no longer rooted (I don't have 'super user' app and root checker says I'm not rooted). I tried upgrading back to at least ICS through software update but it gives me a "you are not registered" (or something like that) and won't update.
I have no idea what to do now. I honestly just want to get ICS back and give up on this whole rooting attempt. Any ideas/help appreciated.
You should have followed this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
It's newer and much easier. Now for the problem at hand, run the v18f exe file from the above guide. That should fix the issue you have then be able to get to any rom from there. Make sure you follow the guide precisely.

Thanks for the reply. I actually was able to just use the LG update on it's own to get ICS back, though the phone isn't rooted anymore.
At some point I did try the tutorial you sent but it wouldn't let me get into recovery mode, it gave me the error I mentioned. I'm just wondering though, if I use that tutorial again, will it work with ICS and v20f? Also, by the end of it what will i get? a rooted phone with Gingerbread? (sorry if they're stupid questions, I'm still learning).

You got that error because you tried to install CWM with the ICS boot loader still installed. The link I provided has you install v18f so it can be rooted and them use the program to keep root so you can downgrade to Gingerbread so CWM can be installed.
One more thing: if all you want is root but don't care about installing another ROM use this to root v20c and stay 100% stock other than root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Okay, I get it. I think I might've missed a step somewhere along the line or something. However, as you said, I really just want to root to give myself the super user ability/app since I find it helpful. I did try the link you provided before and now again but it won't work. First of all I have v20f not v20c (is that why?). Second, I choose normal mode, and then it tells me to look at my phone and click restore. My phone shows a window saying "Restore my data" and "Do not restore" but also asks for a password. Since I don't think I have a password I click on Restore my data (and leave those field blank). My phone says "Restore Starting"...then it says "Restore ended" (within a few seconds) but the Bin4ry bat file won't move on to the next step. It just stays at "Running..." Any ideas?

Ok now we are getting somewhere. First of all v20(x) doesn't matter. If it hangs on you saying "running" just close the "command" window, and try again. The couple of times I have tried it it has always done that the first time but then worked the second or third time. It is at that point the phone is supposed to reboot. Good luck.

First off, thanks for keeping up with me. Well, after like the fifth try, using a way of opening the bat file through cmd manually (not sure how it's any different) I actually got it to say "Successful" and it actually rebooted my device!!...However, it then said something like "Permission denied (are you root?)" or mount failed. So although the file said at the end that my root was successful, I realize it really wasn't and I even made sure; I don't have super user or anything and even root check doesn't say I'm rooted.
I tried it one more time after, but again, it wouldn't reboot. So I tried it again and this time after clicking Restore, I unplugged and plugged my USB. It did say "success" and rebooted my device, though again, the same "mount" error came up and my device isn't rooted.
Any ideas??
Two questions: first what version of windows? Second how are you launching the bat file?
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
I have Windows 7 64 bit and initially I just launched the bat file but double clicking it/opening it normally. However, as I mentioned, the one time it did work I opened the file using this method: youtube . com/ watch?v=7EpkrCq1gfM (all you do is launch the bat file 'manually' more or less by opening cmd prompt then directing it to the folder with the bat file, then running the bat file)
Okay I will thing you might try.... Copy the bat file along with the stuff folder to c:\. This is a wild stab in the dark but under Windows 7 the root folder has different permissions than sub folders and then just double click on the bat file from there.
If you are still having issues use this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645

You can follow the whole guide if you want to install CWM. However if you use v20f as your kdz file or any other ics kdz this will accomplish what you want.... Rooted ics. Do you have the kdz file for v20f? Or another way to look at it is the whole purpose of the before and after bat files is to maintain root when going from one rom to another. You don't have to go to Gingerbread only if you want to install CWM.
I just wish I knew why you were having to many issues.... Try this open a windows command prompt and go to the stuff folder and type the following command:
adb device
What do you get back in response?

if his problem happened the same as mine after trying to boot into cwm for the first time you get the error, becuase lg has a secure bootloader. after this i had to follow the unbrick guide, eventually you end up with at&t stock rom, then you are able to boot into cwm and install a custom rom like CM
One thing just occurred to me you need to stop at step 18 on the unbricking guide. If the KDZ that you are using is one of the v20(x)_00.kdz variants do not use adb to push the recovery.img file this WILL brick your phone and cause the secure boot error this is used to push recovery onto v10(x)_00.kdz only.

If the KDZ that you are using is one of the v20(x)_00.kdz variants do not use adb to push the recovery.img file this WILL brick your phone and cause the secure boot error this is used to push recovery onto v10(x)_00.kdz only.

Um, you mean stop at step 18 of the original guide you linked me or the one that KronicSkillz is suggesting? I honestly just use whatever the guide says/provides, I don't bring in any outside files. Previously I mentioned I might use another one because you suggested it would work well for me by keeping ICS. But originally I just follow the guides step by step.

Okay thanks, I will try this guide once I get the chance and report back to you. Just a question though, I'm assuming this guide will still give me Gingerbread at the end of it, correct?

At the end you'll end up with AT&T stock gingerbread. in the middle you'll be running a stock korean rom, but that is temporary.
as per your 2nd comment if you resintall stock ICS that will rebrick your recovery and CWM will cause another error if you ever try to run it.
this is the reason your phone had the errors you posted
Secure booting Error!
Cause : boot certification verify
-------------------------
------------------------------
Enter the fastboot...
Enter the fastboot...
Long time no see!
If the whole purpose behind this is you just want ICS why didn't you just run the LG update tool, STOCK ICS can be updated with their stock PC usb tool.
anyways its too late for that.
to save your phone you have to follow that guide to restore it to original AT&T Gingerbread. then you perform a backup with CWM and THEN you can flash whatever ROM you want on your phone be it custom or Stock ICS. I have a feeling flashing the stock ics might rebrick your recovery though. not 100% sure on if it will or not.
---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------
as per your question about which guide, i think we both linked you the same guide, except the one i linked was the Sticky version that was a little more detailed (i think) but in either case you should pick one guide and stick to it don't read both of them and go back and fourth you could get easily confused even though like i said i think they are the same guide/method of unbricking. There is a reason though that the guide i linked is the TOP STICKY on the forums for this phone. Because it is the solution to unbrick all p930s who have gotten bricked, which is almost anyone who updated their phone since they bought it, a few ppl got lucky and had Roms old enough that LG hadn't locked their recovery yet and they didn't get the error you were seeing.
The only reason I suggested stopping at step 18 was because it seemed like the v20f kdz file was being installed instead of the v10f because of the secure boot error. V20f is ICS, there is no logical reason why v10f is generating the error. Which kdz file are you flashing during that step in the guide?

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://forum.xda-developers.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.
Thnks!
Worked like a charm! (the second time lol)
I've been waiting for an easy workaround like this, you're great!
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

May have something to do where it is stored on your C drive. Try copying the folder to the root directory on your C drive and running the batch file with administrator permissions.

With the phone off, hold down volume down and power till you get white text. Then follow the directions on the screen.

I never managed to get into recovery with the phone off. If I long press volume down with power button I get the message if I want to permanently erase everything (factory reset) and if I long press volume up with power I get into download mode.
(using lg nitro hd, cm 10.2.1, unbricked and rooted using hereric's guide, and I have latest cwm installed)

That is exactly the message that you want. Press power button twice and you will be in CWM. It says factory reset because that is what will happen if you didn't have a custom recovery installed, no worries though.

I do not remember which technique I used to root my phone, but it is rooted and currently running sphinx. Can I just flash the bootloader on my phone as is ? or do I need to revert to stock first ?

Yes you can flash directly, since it only flashes the boot loader and recovery it will not touch your ROM.

Hello, I have a common problem with my devise being not the only one connected to PC/emulated.
"Error: more than one device/emulator" - I have an additional offline emulator and i cant track what created it.
I was able to correct this issue by adding
adb -s (dev. serial) wait-for-devices
adb -s (dev. serial) reboot bootloader
(or "-d" if there is only one physical device)
In .bat files in similar programs, but this package is a bit too complicated for me and i am not sure how and where to correct this. Any advice?
