I have a LG optimus G E970 factory unlocked(originally AT&T) which i'm using in India(country).
I wanted to know Whether by installing a custom ROM for this forum will re-lock the device?
it shouldn't

I don't think so no, I've installed ROMS on factory unlocked devices such as LG P500, P970 (P970 not E970), P720 and they all continued unlock.

I've been looking around and saw some phones have apps (for rooted phones) where you can unlock the phone. I was wondering if there is one for the Optimus One?
I have the LG Optimus One P500h from Telus. The phone has been rooted and included the OpenOptimus ROM.
Any help would be great.

I'm looking to buy a new device and I found a h820 for cheap which is a at&t lg g5. It's unlocked so I plan on using on metro pcs. My question is will the h830 roms work on this device? Please advise and thanks for any feedback.

No. The h820 version can't unlock the bootloader, therefore no root, TWRP or custom ROMs for it at all. Only h830, h850, rs988 and h840 se can unlock bootloader. Only h830 and h850 have custom ROMs currently.
I bought a LG V30+ (V300) Korean version and I was wondering if it would be possible to flash an international stock rom on it.
Is this possible?
Anybody experience doing so?
Thank you.

There is no chance to fladh anotoher Rom in ours Lg V300k yet. First will be needed to unlock our bootloader (not achieved yet), then TWRP and finally to have suitable ROM's for ours devices.
Step be step, lets be patient

On LG V20 they flashed another ROM (KDZ) using a custom made LGUP.exe file -- BEFORE the bootloader was unlocked. They did it in order to unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP, then flashed back the orginal ROM while keeping TWRP.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74689131&postcount=123
However that method would only help you (on South Korean variant) if you then had a way to unlock the bootloader AFTER you flashed it.
This "flashing another KDZ variant"method would possibly work on the T-mobile H932 which already has easily unlocked bootloader, but just has most of the ADB flash commands removed. It would temporarily turn the H932 into an LG US998U once that KDZ is available. Install TWRP, flash back to original H932 firmware, while not overwriting the new TWRP recovery.
But doing that on South Korea model won't let you unlock bootloader because your IMEI is ineligible on the LG Developer website, and the bootloader unlock exploit the V20 devs used has been patched.

Shouldn't that be possible on this? Or was there a patched exploit after that? Sounds similar to the G4 if I remember correctly.

The bootloader unlock exploit they used on the V20 has been patched, but the T-mobile H932 V30 doesn't need a bootloader unlock exploit -- bootloader is easily unlocked. What it needs is a US998U KDZ and a custom made LGUP.exe to allow installing KDZ from another variant. That custom LGUP.exe is what does the magic, but a dev needs to make one that works on the LG V30. Go follow the links I posted.
Dear All,
Please be advised that I have LG G5 H860 Dual SIM, and I want to know if there is any way to unlock the Bootloader because I would like to flash TWRP and test some custom ROMs?!
Thanks.

Tmobiles rs988 and h850 eur are the only ones if it is not one of those three you are out of luck...
hi
I was trying to install TWRP on my LG H860 but since LG doesn't provide official unlock.bin for H860 Middle east region, i was thinking what if i could install a LG H850-UK ROM on my LG H860 and then try the official way in LG developer site to get my unlock.bin for unlocking the bootloader.
here are my main questions:
1- Does this action will hard brick my phone or mess up with my hardware?
2- Does it discard my IMEI?(since i'm using a ROM from another region)
3- If this method was successful, can i install a custom OS like Lineage OS?
