Hi, i'm italian, and in the last few days the italian LGSocialTeam posted that starting from the 1st april (yeah, i know, and no, it's been confirmed)the lg warranty won't cover rooted devices or unlocked one, is this new only for italy? In other country how does it work?

For the moderators, i've posted in G5 section because the main device influenced by this change is the G5 itself.

I have just spoken to customer services at LG UK asking for an update on the availability of the V10 here. What I was told amazed me. It seems that despite showing the V10 H960 on the website , the phone will definitely NOT be marketed here. The agent believes it only appears on there for "support" reasons. I told him that to me this was ridiculous, but he was adamant and said that he had only been given the news himself this morning!! He also said that if I bought one from elsewhere in Europe, it wouldn't be covered by their warranty as they couldn't be sure of obtaining any parts required. I find that equally disturbing.
I guess I'll have to wait for the G5 or risk a grey import.
so where can we get the greymarket version ie H960 ?
Spoke to two different people at LG Support UK team...both pretty much said same thing that the V10 not coming to UK, both said it was never confirmed for entry into UK market either! Display on Lg UK website is just for show
And also if buying any imported version, they wont provide any warranty for it... Disappointing move....Like Samsung did with Note 5. But think H960 variant can be imported/bought from czech rep/turkey/uae
This is a bad move by LG “ this phone would have smashed it here in the uk “ feels good to be in an exclusive club of LG V10 owners tho
I gave up hope, now that they will announce the G5 for release in April probably. I'll just wait for Samsung S7 or G5 now. My LG G3 is fine, I just wanted a finger print scanner.

Mixed signals from the LG uk support team??
http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-15326.php
The LG team seems more confused than the rest of us
I have an LG V10. And as expected by now, I got the bootloop issue after 13 month with the phone. Unfortunately I bough the phone from the UAE. Meaning, I got the H960A version.
I moved recently to the US, and freaking LG USA does not want to even take a look at the phone. They told me to ship it back to the UAE for repairs!! So I went ahead and stripped down the phone. Only to find that some components on the board seems to heat up significantly when the phone is powered up
I cant find a broken H960A here in the USA. That brings me to my question, can I replace the board on a H960A with lets say a H900 or H901?
Please help, I'm stuck with a useless brick. Don't even know if I will be able to sell it for parts.
Verizon LG V30 or Verizon LG V30+ i am thinking of getting this phone if either or both are Rootable-----but i cant seem to get a clear answer looking through the forms to confirm a yes or no i am U.S.A, VERIZON --Thanks for any help.--
You’d need to buy the unlocked version for it to be rootable.
B&H has preorders for it.
Verizon LG V30 is not rootable and probably never will be.

We've been pretty clear.
There's a 34-page thread called:
LG V30: Unlock bootloader and Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/unlock-bootloader-root-t3665927
Right now it's buried down below other threads (because there's no root yet), but really the posts on the first page are all you need to read, particularly posts #6, #7 and #9. (That was written in early September -- a full month before the U.S. carrier branded versions of the LG V30 were released, for anyone who wanted to research before buying.)
Yes, a lot of that discussion seems to center on the T-mobile variant, but if you read you see it covers ALL the carrier-branded LG V30 models. They are all ADB-crippled and may never receive root.
Yes, there are efforts to overcome this, but the best theory so far will still need to wait until the open market US998 is released and hopefully use files from that model?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74557506&postcount=76
Probably with something like a custom patched LGUP file:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74561087&postcount=78
And even then that's only for the T-mobile variant, which doesn't need bootloader unlock exploit.
Only the "open market" officially carrier unlocked US998 (North America) and H930 (Europe) will receive LG-sanctioned bootloader unlock and have full ADB flash commands. Those phones will receive root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels. GUARANTEED -- just like the open market LG G6 models. The US998 will be released in early December and a few weeks after that will be placed on LG's bootloader unlock list. The H930 for Europe has already been released in early November, but has still not been place on LG's bootloader unlock list.
This US998 is NOT NOT NOT U.S. Cellular's model. (Yet, no matter how many times I say that, someone will reply, "That's the U.S. Cellular model." Please do not be that person who can't read. ) The "open market" US998 is not sold by any carrier, only by authorized 3rd party retailers, like B&H Photo. In the past, also Best Buy and Amazon, but only B&H Photo right now has a pre-order page up.
The North America US998 has all the bands CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE to work with all the North American carriers. And the question everyone asks, "Will it also have LTE band 71?" We don't know, there's evidence both ways.
So apparently LG confirmed on their German Twitter account that Oreo is probably coming in the second quarter of this year. Apparently the rollout only began on April 30th and only in Korea so...

Since April, we are actually in the second Quarter ?
Main markets in europe for LG are Italy and Poland , and they are just sure about it. LG Poland employee said that it is ready and is being validated by them ,which means release within 2-3 weeks.

Hi I recently bought my second V30+ and noticed a few differences:
1) first phone was made in India (production date Jan 2018), recent one made in Korea (Dec 2017?!?!)
2) the size of boxes is slightly different (few millimeters here and there)
3) labels on the box are totally different: Indian one is larger and have info on IMEI, battery capacity etc where as Korean has IMEIs and radio bands
4) strange stickers on Korean box (refurbished unit?)
5) Indian phone does NOT have B&O on back cover while Korean one has it.
The correct identification of the phones will be important to me as I need to know exactly which variant I have if I am to root it.
Many thanks!

LG started selling the Korea manufactured phones in India. As long as it has the ESA firmware, it's India. Doesn't matter where it's made.
All the North American variants were manufactured in Korean, also.
Been discussed in the India H930DS thread months ago.

It actually does not matter what variant H939DS you have to root it. You can even flash EU H930 firmware onto the H930DS and root.

Sorry, I didn't mention this in the first post, by I don't need it to be India or otherwise...I bought it on Ebay UK and planning to use it in Europe, so I don't really care if it's indian or Korean. I need to find a list of available variants and see where mine fits.
Then I need to find out if my phone is not refurbished. Anybody knows what does the text on labels on the top cover of the box mean? The Indian box had the "Do not accept if seal broken" label which was intact, but the Korean does not have it (nor marks that it was removed, but what do I know).

Yes, I've come across a few V30 being sold as new on eBay, which were in fact obviously refurbished. In one instance was USS98 64GB V30 in 128GB V30+ box and even had previous owner's microSD card inside + B&O earbuds (which are not included with new North American variants, due to licensing rights; should have been LG-branded earbuds) -- but was being sold as new US998 V30+.
but can anyone please tell me what does the sticker say?

If you have any doubts about the phone I would completely ignore anything written on the box. It could be a box from anywhere that was laying around at the time.
Check as much as you can from settings and especially from fastboot getvar all.

writings on the box where more for the understanding if the phone is a new one or refurbished (as mentioned above in thread, refurbs can have some discrepancies)
Settings says it is V10-TWN-XX (Taiwan I suppose?)
I will try to google what is fastboot getvar, but this seems like a comand line command, right?

Yep, if you Google it with v30, chances you will be directed to the 'WTF!' thread
Have a look there, it's really worth running it.
