We can buy it at shop in Asia already (Thailand) Blue colour 4Gb Ram/128Gb Rom, cost about (20,000 Thai Baht). The normal 64Gb Rom/4Gb ram cost (14,500 Thai Baht). They come with the Dac I think.
You can buy it in HKG or Singapur too, but it's different model than one on YouTube. The Korean guy shows Korean LGM-G600SP. The Asia LG-H870DSU has no wireless charging and B&O headphones.

You are correct that not all LG G6 Plus models have Qi wireless charging. I would want Qi wireless charging. I won't buy a phone without it.
These are the South Korean market models (below) with Qi wireless charging. Here's the Qi wireless database search results that prove it. You can also search on the LG South Korean website for those model numbers and use Google Translate to look at the specs.
LGM-G600KP
LGM-G600SP
LGM-G600LP
Problem is the "official" specs do not show all the LTE bands these phones really get. So, it's a leap of faith to buy if you live in the U.S., for instance.
I know, because of people here in the U.S. who bought the Korean regular G6 (not the G6+) and who the models for those South Korean carriers (KP, SP, LP) DO actually get all the AT&T and T-mobile bands -- but just don't show it on the LG Korean website official specs.
Also, I don't want to buy phones I can't root, so I would have to wait until I KNEW I could root one of these LG South Korean market phones.
There's no official bootloader unlock for any of the LG G6 Plus models (yet).
There's also the LG H870U, an LG G6 Plus coming to Europe and other countries. THIS website below says it has Qi wireless charging but I think that's just wishful thinking -- since it's not listed in the Qi devices database I linked in the post above.
LG H870U
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/lg-g6-h870.3021/lg-g6-plus-lg-h870u.839097.html
However, if true, I would gladly buy it, as the European versions of the LG G6 can be bootloader unlocked, yes?
Hi guys, I have blue LG G6+ H870DSU http://www.lg.com/hk_en/mobile-phone/lg-H870DSU-Blue-128GB and it has B&O headphones, FM radio and quad DAC audio but doesn't has useless Qi wireless charging. Quick charging only works with AC/DC charger, through USB it takes 6h to fully battery recharge. Korean version has DMB-T TV, Qi wireless charging but no FM radio. If you have questions about my phone H870DSU just ask.

Hmmm, this is new to me. Can you specify which Korean G6 has all the T-Mobile bands in your experience? I want a G6 with the hiFi DAC, but I also need the TMobile bands.
Do these models have bootloader's that can be unlocked? I NEED to have root also.

Amazon has an LG G6 plus model with lockscreen ads. Works perfectly on Ting Wireless with GSM sim, so I bet it would work on T-mobile. Model: LGUS997U.
There is an option to unlock the bootloader in developer options, would this allow you to flash a new ROM?

Here's the LTE bands from any of the three South Korean carriers' LG G6 from a member here on XDA. The V30 Plus should be the same. You can go into the Engineering menu and see them. IF they are not already enabled (but they should be), you can checkmark the box to enable them. The only T-mobile bands the South Korean LG G6 models do not have are the newer LTE band 66 and very newest LTE band 71. In fact, only the T-mobile LG V30 has LTE band 71. (It's possible the LG G6 Plus may have LTE band 66 since it was released MONTHS later, but we know it doesn't have LTE band 71.)

NO, these bootloaders cannot be unlocked, at least officially and no one has published a bootloader unlock and root publicly (yet). The only LG G6 bootloaders that can be unlocked and phones rooted are the "open market" LG G6 for North America and Europe. None of the "G6 Plus" are on the official bootloader unlock list. (For 2017, LG has removed most of the ADB commands from their carrier flagship phones, so that even if you unlock the bootloader, it's very difficult for most people to root or install custom recovery.)
Also, none of the "open market" LG G6 have quad DAC or the increased internal storage. This was the reason I didn't buy the LG G6, due to LG's STUPID regionalized specs scheme. It was a great phone on paper -- but LG cut that paper into pieces and shipped it to countries all over the world. You could NOT buy an LG G6 with ALL the specs.
Then the LG G6 Plus (South Korean edition) -- released MONTHS later in mid-2017 -- was the phone LG should have released in the first place in early 2017. It FINALLY had all the specs in one phone (Qi wireless, quad DAC, more storage) -- but LG wouldn't place it on the LG Bootloader Unlock List. And LG wonders why they are trailing Samsung? Idiotic moves like that is why.

If you need root and quad DAC, I would really suggest the "open market" LG V30 for North America. It will be released first week of December (sold by LG directly, and authorized 3rd party retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo and Best Buy) and soon after that will be placed on the LG Bootloader Unlock list. It will quickly get root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels.
It's the OFFICIAL CARRIER UNLOCKED VERSION: LGUS998.AUSASV. Do NOT confuse it with the U.S. Cellular version which has a similar model name. The U.S. Cellular version is sold by a carrier and will NOT qualify for LG's bootloader unlock.
We know the LGUS998 has all the North American CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE bands of the major carriers, with the probable exception of LTE band 71. We're hoping LG will add it to the model via an FCC addendum or that it can be enabled after the phone is rooted, possibly by flashing T-mobile radio. But that's a question for a dev after we get root.
That's the V30 model I am waiting for.
B&H has the US version of the G6+ on sale for $200 off.
Does anyone know if this model fully supports T-Mobile including Band 12 ?
Also, whether the G6 bootloader unlock indicated on LG bootloader unlock list ("US997.USA for the US open market") also works for this US version of the G6+ ?
B&H model number comparisons of the two US models::
G6: LGUS997.AUSABK
G6+ : LGUS997U.AUSABK
TIA...

Is the G6 "AUSABK" definitely the officially unlockable one?
Currently, there appear to be two variants of the LG G5 RS988: USA unlocked version and a "Brightpoint" version.
Are these variants actually different in hardware?
What exactly makes the devices different? Different bootloaders and/or modem firmware perhaps?
From my research, I found that people with LG G5 RS988 USA Unlocked models that have flashed LG G5 RS988 Brightpint Nougat firmware experienced problems maintaining LTE connections, but could not find information with regards to how the devices are truly different.
The purpose of this thread is to try to determine what exactly makes the variants different and ways to identify if a device is of a particular RS988 variant.
Comments and questions are welcome.
I don't think there are any hardware differences. An RS988 is an RS988. My guess is that different frequency bands are turned on/off for the different variants. FWIW, I'm on Total Wireless (which has the same coverage as Verizon) and I don't see any differences with the Brightpoint firmware. I think only the GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile) are affected.
I have also found that LG repaired LG G5 RS988 USA Unlocked devices, for which the device main board has been replaced may be identified as the Brightpoint version when trying to request the "unlock.bin" file from LG for bootloader unlock. Presumably, this happens because LG may refurbish the RS988 USA Unlocked devices using parts from what was or were once Brightpoint variants.
Based on seraching for Birghtpoint, it seems that they are (were) a distributer of mobile devices. Their name apear mostly in connection with Best Buy. I purchased2 LG G5 RS988 from Best Buy, and I believe they are both running the Brightpoint ROM (7.0 RS98810h). IT seems like the bestbuy/brightpoint variants of the RS988 (LGRS988Z.ABPTTN or LGRS988.ABPTTN not sure) is defferent than the USA Unlocked versions (LGRS988.AUSATN).
What is the difference between a korean variant lg g5 (f700k) and an lg g5 standard model? Is the f700k a fake and clone phone? Is there a difference in specifications and compatibility? Thank you
Person asked this question in an AT&T TWRP-flashable zip (stock ROM) thread -- which is not a question about that TWRP flashable zip and he doesn't mention anything about wanting to bootloader unlock and root (needed to any TWRP-flashable zip). Plus, he should be an AT&T customer to use that firmware, and he lives in UK.
So, answering here, in Q&A section.

WHICH V30 VARIANT TO BUY?
kakawak said:
hi people,
im considering buying an lg v30 and as i stay in the UK i was wondering if this will be ok to use on the VirginUK network or will i have any issues with the bands the carrier use? also, will 4g work ok?
Are there any models to avoid if buying an American version ie. ATT, SPrint or Verizon.
thanks in advance

For your purposes, stay away from T-mobile H932. They are locked to T-mobile and even if carrier unlocked (only possible through T-mobile servers, not some "unlock code"), they have sometimes relocked when updating firmware (like Nougat to Oreo, or Oreo to Pie). ONLY T-mobile customers should buy T-mobile H932.
You want V30 with LTE bands compatible with Virgin UK. Allegedly, Virgin UK uses LTE bands 3, 7, 20. Of course, you want carrier unlocked.
All US998 are carrier unlocked and have these bands below:
US998
CDMA: 800 MHz CDMA
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66
EU H930 (64GB) and H930G (128GB) are carrier unlocked and have these bands:
H930
2G GSM: 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G (HSPA): 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G LTE: 1/2/3/4/5/8/12/17/20/28/38
While Sprint LS998 is locked to Sprint, it can be easily converted to US998 (Frankenstein) to carrier unlock it and have those US998 bands.
The US998 V30+/LS998 V30+ has 128GB internal memory, while most others (except for H930DS and H930G) have only 64GB internal memory.
Verizon VS996 and Canada H933 are also carrier unlocked, but VS996 will give you non-Verizon SIM card nag warnings every time you reboot. You can also convert those to US998 and vice-versa, but they still only have 64GB internal memory.
AT&T H931 are locked to AT&T, but can be carrier unlocked via code. However you can't get updates, because AT&T only gives updates via FOTA to AT&T customers. Same update situation with Sprint LS998. If you get either of those, first thing to do would be to Frankenstein to US998 firmware! Or just buy US998 V30+ .
I'm advising you to get a 128GB US998 V30+.
EU H930/H930G are made for European territory, so it would also be a choice for you.
All V30 variants can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. You didn't ask about that and that may not be important to you but this answer just isn't for you.
thanks for the informative response chazzmatt
whats your opinion on the screen brightness, retention or burn issues with the V30 compared to the G7?
If you had a choice which one?
so a V30+ on fleabay is 128GB US998 V30+ US Cellular version and/or if i decide to buy a LG G7 ThinQ G710ULM or LG G7 ThinQ Verizon G710VMP or LG G7 ThinQ G710PM are these ok?
thanks!

Very few US998 are actually U.S. Cellular. They are very small cell phone company. USS98 was also the official Open Market V30, sold by 3rd party authorized retailers straight from LG. Plus, many Sprint LS998 were converted to US998.
Doesn't matter. All US998 are carrier unlocked.
Most eBay dealers don't really know what they're selling or they are forced to use templates that don't match what they're selling.
I don't have any of those issues, but I buy the "mint" offerings.
so does that mean i could purchase any of these if i decide against the V30?
LG G7 ThinQ G710ULM or LG G7 ThinQ Verizon G710VMP or LG G7 ThinQ G710PM...the latter being the cheapest out of the 3 options.
you didnt give me your opinion on which phone you would go for...any preference?
cheers

You should really ask in the G7 forum. I prefer V30.
The V35 is the successor to the V30, not the G7. I have a mint V35 in the box, but I still use my V30+. I bought V35 instead of G7.
Hello,
I have an LG V30 Plus (model LGH930G) which was bought in Israel.
I was wondering if there's a stock ROM for an equivalent Canadian model, I can install on it.
A while back I managed to do a similar process on an AT&T LG G6, using this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g6/how-to/convert-upgrade-att-g6-to-h873-oreo-t3791848
Is there something similar for the LG V30+?
From searching the net, I found that the closest Canadian model is H933 (from looking here: https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v30-model-number-differences), however, they have different specs (the H930 has 128Gb storage instead of 64Gb in the H933 model. That's the only difference I have found on the hardware part, and I am not sure it is relevant (as it is just storage).
Also, there is a difference with the supported LTE bands, but with my LG G6, that was software based, so I hope it is the same here.
I can send any additional information required.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

NO.
You can flash some "V30+" to Canada H933 -- but you bought the wrong V30+ to do that. What you are talking about is what we call Frankenstein, but only works among North American variants (and even then NOT T-mobile H932).
1) The H930* models cannot be cross flashed to change modems on any of the North American models. Even cross flashing the H930* models among themselves (64Gb H930, 128GB H930G V30+, 64GB H930D, 128GB H930DS V30+) does not change modems of those models. For H930* models, you are stuck with the LTE bands you have, even if you changed firmware to another H930* variant. (H930DS often flashes to EU H930 KDZ firmware for "WTF" bootloader unlock and root method, but H930DS LTE bands still remain the same.)
2) Whereas if you had bought LS998 V30+ or US998 V30+, YES, you could cross flash to most other North American firmware (AS998, Verizon VS996, Canada H933, AT&T H931, Puerto Rico H932PR) and vice versa. These are complete conversions -- even changing modems, LTE bands. Those North American variants are chameleon-like and can be cross flashed using our Frankenstein instructions and Dev Patched LGUP..
Those Frankenstein instructions are to convert most North American variants to US998, but also work to convert to Canadian H933. I converted an LS998 V30+ to US998 V30+ and then to Canadian H933 (but still V30+). But your H930G V30+ is not eligible for that.

Follow up question, if I may: as the US998 is discontinued, I imagine there's no point to buy it now, unless you have some pointers I didn't think of?

You can still buy mint US998 V30+ on eBay, for $140. Price goes up and down a few dollars depending on the week. For months was $110, then recently $170. Currently $140. They are all really former LS998 V30+ converted to US998 V30+ via Frankenstein. I've bought from this guy several times.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US998-128GB-Titan-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-9-10/173665613177
Then, sell your current phone if you wish to defray the difference.
