I wouldn't recommend using a Toolkit on your first time root/flash. There are a lot of tutorials around (stickies in the Q&A section).

Follow this guide.
I agree, especially on this phone, I would learn to do it manually for your first time. Xda, droid-life and many sites have very detailed guides.

FYI this should have been posted in general.
If all you want is root go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052321
If you want to install CWM you have to follow the unbricking guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
Also it's not hard to find using the search utility.

Are you using google translate to convert to eng because your posts are difficult to understand.. This subforum has nothing to do with the ericsson. What made you assume that? Fwiw,a simple google search of "v20c p936 root" almost always returns the required info and related discussion.
Installing rom manager is as simple as installing any other app..

I guess you are not familiar with this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052321 follow the link from this thread and read you will then understand xilopan69's statement.
In regards to "Installing rom manager is as simple as installing any other app.. " that is not accurate if you are coming from ICS (v20c)..LG has a well documented locked bootloader and if you try to install CWM recovery from RomManager you will brick the phone. In order to install CWM you have to follow the unbricking guide and downgrade to Gingerbread so CWM recovery can be installed. From there you can go to your ROM of choice.

Your translation was just fine NFleck's confusion came from context and not translation. No worry.

I had used this guide for installing CWM, in fact before I edited rom 10.1 CM, then I called ICS, so now I am forced to keep ICS as well without CWM, or defer to GB and defer 10.1 CM, I thought you could put CWM on ICS, thanks and excuse my translation from Italian to English.
Okay now I go that I realized as I do, I'm going to see the football match Lazio, Stuttgart Hi guys

Ok the only need to downgrade to GB is because of the locked bootloader in ICS. Since GB's bootloader is unlocked you can install CWM and from there install ANY ROM (CM9, CM10(.1), v20c,e,f, LiquidNitro, GloryROM, etc.) anything that is a CWM installable ROM. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I absolutely didn't mean that offensively. Did it seem that way? I was just curious if you were using a translator as i found it hard to decide exactly what you meant..
Looking back at my thread it does come off as a bit ignorant. I apologize. Honestly just wanted to help, although I could have been less sarcastic.

As for the linked thread, I didn't realize it was posted in an experia sub-forum.. I just saw the title of "Root Many Androids"..
Thank you for letting me know.
Edit: Why didn't you just link him to the ICS rooting guide in our sub-forum? The TPSparkyRoot method in [GUIDE] Rooting and Unbricking p930/p935/p936 works first try on v20c-v20f for me every time. This would probably avoid confusion like this for newer members.. IMO anyways.
RomManger is an app, not a recovery. CWM is a recovery. He asked for a guide to install Rom Manager. I guess I could have assumed he meant the recov.
I know ics has a locked bootloader.. I thought that if he read the guide he knew that. Sorry 'bout that.
Again, sorry if I came off sounding like a jerk. Not intentional.

how were you able to root the p936 rom? i tried soc 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 and doomlord, tsparky.i also tried the one in the link and nothing
Sorry for the probably newbish question, but I did search. I've looked through all of the recent threads but I can't see anything regarding the procedure for this build. I think this is a new build - I remember some type of update coming through a while ago, but I don't remember how long ago it was.
Yep, noob question, but all is forgiven.
4.67 guides work for 5.07 generally.

Hi Swarnava, I just rooted using AAHK2 by Phiber2000, it was a piece of cake!

I'm still looking at what to do next, but followed advice in the same thread to install the TWRP recovery. This seems easy to use and i'm about to install my first ROM. Wish me luck, eh?!
