hey guys i am officially done with samsung after a complete circus ride of an s6. would like to buy a g5 but there are so many flippin variants i don't know what to buy. i'm currently on at&t, and i know they are all against unlocking the boot loader, so which do i get? i saw that the european g5 is the only one to get twrp? i found an H860n on ebay for $561. is this the same variant? thanks in advance.
European variant is H850.
I might get a European version myself. It costs the same if I were to buy it outright in Canada. The only thing I have to verify is the frequencies.

No IT Has to be a H850 from Europe.
H860 is a dualsim LG g5.

You have to be sure that the Phone Comes from a European country.
And like mohsinkhan35 mentioned you schuld check the frequencies
Edit: in a Lot of countrys tmobile is a Network Carrier.
I don think that Helps.
Maybe ask the selber.
Amazon just started selling the RS988 model that is supposedly fully unlocked and supports all the US carrier frequency bands. I just ordered one today - $649.99 + tax, free same day delivery (in some areas - I'm in LA).
http://amzn.to/206SH6F
When I get it, I'll let you know if it is actually fully unlocked.
BestBuy also has fully unlocked G5s.

Clove is where I bought mine... Very reputable seller out of the UK. Myself and some other people on the forums bought their H850 from clove. Got mine via DHL from the UK to Colorado in 2 days!
Verified H850 unlocked, unbranded, and made for UK but listed as EU open. Have had ZERO issues that others report.
Everytime I look at the lg g5 site listing the price goes down.
If u want guaranteed root and twrp go with H850 EU open variant. Do not buy from eBay! Go with Clove or AmazonUK.
Also H850 supports all the band's you'll need unless u decide to join CDMA network. DO not get RS988 , if history has shown us anything about LG, it tells us that variant will only ever be carrier unlocked.

Just a PSA if you get the rs988 do not change or update your imei. Att does not recognize the device in any way and you would be stuck with hspa+ just was on the phone with them had to use my old imei.
Thanks for the clove link. How long does shipping take? Kinda wanting to get one asap.

This prime day deal knocks a couple bucks off the G5. I know the T-Moble version is rootable, but is this one?
Item model number LGRS988AUSATN
no current public root for that device.
Only H830 TMO and H850 EUR

I know the locked version will for sure, but what about the unlocked version? If you have any official info, please post it here.
Thanks!
Yes, it will. The unlocked LG G6 US997 released a few months ago vhas Verizon VoLTE, so this will too.
However, Wi-Fi calling doesn't work.

Hi Chazz,
Well here's the problem though. T-Mobile REQUIRED VoLTE to be certified with them before it works. It takes time and money to get certified. But like AT&T and Verizon don't, so not as difficult with them. That's why I'm asking cuz no official word yet on the unlocked V30 getting it. Obviously for sure the locked T-Mobile variant will be VoLTE-certified with T-Mo though.
Yeah Wi-Fi Calling I think is only available on T-Mobile still. I think?

I apologize, I mis-read. For some reason I thought you were asking about Verizon VoLTE. I'll research. If the unlocked G6 has it on T-Mobile, then this will too. But I only researched Verizon. Sorry.

Ok thanks! Maybe after it comes out I'll make sure. I could care less about Wi-Fi Calling though I have used it once or twice. VoLTE is very important though. Hopefully it has both.

It's coincidentally the U.S.Cellular model number also -- as will be the US998 LG G30.
There's a U.S. unlocked model and a European unlocked model for the LG G6. There's no "international" model.

Ok, interesting.
So the U.S. Unlocked G6 had VoLTE for sure then it seems. Cool, thanks for sharing this info!! :good:
I will probably still wait for verification on here from someone before I buy the Unlocked one. I want the unlocked one cuz it will be cheaper than the T-Mobile variant.
Do you know anyone who has T-Mobile and also plans to get the Unlocked U.S. variant of the V30 as well?? lol

Hey Chazz,
Any idea if the unlocked US V30's DAC will get B&O Certification like the int'l V20 did (but US V20 didn't)?
What about the locked US ones?? Will any version get it? Update: Ok it looks like the US version won't get it, but the European one will. Oh well. No big deal.
It appears that the unlocked V30 will get released on 10/27. B&H.com shows that date for the US998. I'm very likely going to buy it.

No, I don't know about the B&O certification. It really took me by surprise the U.S. carrier versions didn't have B&O logo on the back and didn't have B&O headphones included. LG made such a big deal about that in the press release...
Yet, all the pre-production "US998" phones lent out for few weeks to U.S.-based tech reporters (which had to be returned after reviews) did have B&O logo and did have the headphones.
(Nobody got "free phones". That was a myth some people were spreading, saying that's why the V30 got such great reviews. People who don't understand how all this works. Yes, it helps for reviewers to have new phones in hand for a couple of weeks prior to global announcement -- with signed non-disclosure agreements -- so they can immediately write about them when embargo is lifted, but those phones are loaners. Nobody gets to keep $800 phones.)
So, does that mean the production official carrier unlocked US998 with also have those B&O features -- since the pre-production model did? Your guess is as good as mine.
I'm hoping the 10/27 date by B&H is not just a placeholder date that will mysteriously morph into 11/14 or something. Just keep in mind 10/27 would be two weeks sooner than the LG G6 US997 was released after carriers started selling their versions. Then, six weeks after that (total of 11 weeks after carrier versions) was the LG G6 US997 (and European counterpart) placed on the official bootloader unlock list. Since I'm not buying until I can root from Day 1, just when B&H starts selling is not as important as the bootloader unlock list.
I'm hoping LG speeds up the total timeline, including adding LG V30 US998 and H930 to the bootloader unlock list. THEN, the real fun can begin. :laugh:

Well it appears that T-Mobile actually IS having a promotion (or promotions) for the locked V30 after all. So I guess I'm just gonna buy the locked one. No sense in waiting. I can just sell the Plus tablet for prob at least $180 on eBay so F it. lol Plus I'm gonna sell my Topaz Gold HTC 10 for maybe $250? and then pay off the remaining $140 I owe on it. They ran out of the Topaz Gold one months ago, so I'm guessing that's why it's going for higher than the other colors (selling for around $200 vs. $300) which they still had available more recently.
Just called T-Mobile now and bought the locked V30 over the phone. I'd still like to thank you so much for all your help & info here! It is VERY much appreciated Chazz.

One thing, the locked T-Mo V30 will have that Band 71/600 MHz capability (first one ever on their network). Do we have any idea if the unlocked V30 will have that too? VoLTE seems pretty likely given your findings on the unlocked G6, but what about this?
Need full system dumps or full images for the locked/unlocked US version to possibly find out the B71 support.
Went through Korean version system dump but couldn't find hints for B71.

Interesting.
Do we know if Korea even has Band 71? That would probably be a good indication of if the unlocked one will get it too.
This is the reason why I went for the T-Mobile locked version............guaranteed Band 71 (though my area doesn't have it, YET lol)........plus guaranteed T-Mo Certified VoLTE. The unlocked V30 I believe probably will have VoLTE, but will it be T-Mo certified VoLTE is the real question for me. With the promo T-Mo is running to get the $500 G6 for free (which I am selling at a profit of course lol.....made more sense to get that vs. the tablet and then profit less) along with your V30 purchase, then the price difference b/t the unlocked and locked versions no longer matters. I'm selling the G6 to a relative, and agreed to $225. That right there puts my $800 locked V30 at below the expected price of the unlocked ($700?) if you subtract that profit from the $800 cost. Yeah I'll have bloatware lol, but I'll just disable or uninstall them.
Thanks for checkin' into this VeixES!

U.S. Cellular was selling their V30+ even before Sprint -- on October 6. Sprint NEVER had any "real" exclusive, in spite of breathless internet reports.
Yes, U.S. Cellular's version is the unofficial carrier unlocked version, with almost all the CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE bands and will work on any major North American carrier and even South American carriers.
I'm hoping LG will surprise us when the "open market" US998 is released and will make available this V30+ model as one of the options. Why don't you wait a week just to see?
Thanks!
So, just to clarify, US Cellular willdefinitely unlock a V30+ for me if I purchase it outright?

Yes, it comes SIM card unlocked, carrier unlocked. Several people on here have bought it and used it on T-mobile, etc. See one example here:

Right. The official carrier unlocked version(s) -- which LG calls "open market" versions -- won't be released until December 5 and the rebate offer says you have to buy the first one by December 2. So, I preordered ONE (paid in advance) a few days ago from B&H Photo, and that will count as the first eligible purchase. (Only B&H Photo is offering pre-orders on the LG V30, and there are no V30+ for pre-order.)
I'll then wait until after December 5 and order a carrier unlocked version V30+ for the second purchase. You have 45 days after first purchase to buy the second eligible device. I'm hoping there will be A North America "open market" version of the V30+

Because of LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. And root, custom ROMs, kernels.
U.S.Cellular variant won't be eligible.
I know the S9 and LG7 are just rumors and there's little news, but I'm looking for some insight into what's likely to happen based on previous releases and time frames.
The problem I'm currently having with buying the unlocked V30 now (after waiting a couple months for the actual release) is the Snapdragon 845 chipset in early 2018 as well as rumors of the S9 and LG7 releasing in January. While I'd rather not wait, I certainly can wait.
I want an unlocked phone with root (and a headphone jack) that's 100% compatible with Verizon. Based on the history of Samsung S8 (and previous) and LG G6 (and previous) how likely is it we'll get this in an S9 or LG7 at all (vs before February)?
I've had high hopes for the Razer Phone, Google Pixel 2 XL, S8 Active, One Plus 5T, etc, etc, etc.... all failed for various reasons like incomplete Verizon support, no headphone jacks, etc. It shouldn't be this complicated, ha.
So, any thoughts on the unlocked V30 now... or holding off (painfully, but maybe smartly) for an unlocked G7???
thank you.

You'll be waiting a long time. G6 unlocked finally was released in May, but not placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list until well into June for the European unlocked version. Was June 29 (practically JULY) for the North American US997.
Oh, LG will ANNOUNCE G7 in January or February. For CARRIERS. But to get an unlocked open market version in your hands and get it on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? Mid-June to July.
Look at the V30. ANNOUNCED August 31. North America carrier unlocked V30 version (not even V30+ yet) shipped December 1, and hopefully placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list by end of the year.
For some reason, LG S-T-RE-T-C-H-E-S it out. They can't just announce a phone and release it.

Thank you... that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I don't follow phone hardware unless I'm looking to buy and since I only buy every 2-3 years I suck on following the trends and history of what actually happens.
I suspected that would be the case, oh well. V30 it most likely is then.
EDIT... since I have you online... the unlocked V30 from B&H supports every Verizon band for LTE and CDMA yes? Just double checking if you happen to know.

Why did 5T failed for you?
I kinda have a similar internal struggle right now xD
My current OnePlus 2 still works fine, especially with all those Oreo ROMs now, but... I kinda wanna have something new, yet I should safe more money (poor student problems lol).
And i dont wanna "waste" my money on a phone thats completly locked down, or has barely any support (had that with the G Pro, was kinda.... meh, even though it was a really great phone actually, but barely any devs there), and we dont know that for sure yet about the V30...
It also doesnt kinda "fullfill" all of the things i have on my wishlist for my next phone (like a metal back, USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 or Gen 2).
And then... with the rumors of the Galaxy S9 and LG G7 maybe be announced in January with the Snapdragon 845... feels a bit like i would buy an outdated phone (by the time the US version also gets its unlocked bootloader, and the community starts to build ROMs and so xD)
Edit: And with my "new" carrier here for mobile internet, my phones missing LTE Band 20 (have the chinese oneplus 2, which doesnt support that, and unlocking didnt work :/)
And dont forget Project Treble... which would also be nice xD
