I can only see h930g in here.
Is there any way to do that on h930ds?
No. It's not on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list and probably won't be.
North America open market US998 V30/V30+ should be added on the near future. But no Asian LG variants have ever made the list...
Perhaps exploit/dev magic can help in the future.

hello,
I received today my new lg v30 + H930DS and I would like to know how to unlock the bootloader install TWRP ... because I find solutions for the H930G version but nothing for the H930DS
Sorry, it's not on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.

Either needs to be on the official LG unlock list or someone needs to find a bootloader unlock exploit.

not yet mate.. we're on the same boat here :laugh:
just wait patiently and hope for the best :fingers-crossed:
it is most likely never possible to unlock the bootloader of H930DS ? and it will never be on the LG list as suitable for unlocking the bootloader.
Why will LG do so? for a market is possible , and for others not?

Yes. There are variants that will never be possible. At least that has happened with the G6.
I did not buy the DualSim just for not having root... and I use 2 numbers :'(
Fellow Aussie here,
Same here peeps. Nothing yet. Sent an email off to LG in Australia, as well as LG Devs asking why it's not on the list. HOPEFULLY I'll get a response soon.
does anyone know if there's any way to unlock bootloader with this model was thinking about purchasing this and wanted to see if there was a way to do so and possibly get TWRP too.

That's the Sprint phone. Unless you're a Sprint customer, best to stay away from it. And even if you're a Sprint customer, you're never going to unlock the bootloader.
No carrier branded North America LG V30 variants have bootloader unlock, TWRP and root.
Only three models have that, the ones authorized by LG.

Hello!
I have spent most of my day trying to root my LG V30 which supposedly has bootloader capabilities. I've come across numerous issues. Even with OEM unlocked through the developer options, and USB debugging enabled, I have had zero luck with the adb command "reboot-bootloader"; it just performs a regular reboot.
I was directed to this post: https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v30-us998-bootloader-unlocking-now-available/ which seemed like an effective remedy. Until I got to the step where the LG website wanted me to find my Device ID by using adb reboot-bootloader. In essence, I was supposed to enter the bootloader in order to enable the bootloader. Makes a whole lot of sense.
What could I possibly do that I haven't yet done to fix this? I don't want to give up yet, I desperately would like to install a custom ROM on my phone and perhaps take back some of my privacy.
Also potentially important: the computer I have been using for this process is running the latest version of Kubuntu.
Thanks!
EDIT: new information:
All V30/V30+/V30S on the planet (except for the T-Mobile H932 variants) can now be bootloader unlocked and rooted. See the WTF bootloader unlock and root THREAD.
Original answer, now outdated:
_________________
You've got the wrong model. You have a carrier branded variant. H931 is the AT&T model, right? Doesn't matter, still the wrong model.
For North America, you need the open market LG US998 V30. You have the H931. No North America carrier LG V30 variants have bootloader unlock and full fastboot flash commands.
Or you can use the European models H930 & H930G.
Did you read the article you linked to? It specifically says the open market LG US998, a.k.a. official carrier unlocked model.
Not to be confused with the otherwise identical U.S.Cellular model US998. The only difference is the open market LG US998 is sold by authorized retailers like B&H Photo, and that IMEI range is registered with the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website.
The U.S.Cellular model is also carrier unlocked -- but not eligible for bootloader unlock, since it's a carrier sold variant. That's the rules for LG in North America.

Very informative.... now, how can the US unlocked US998 be differentiated from the USCellular US998 when both have identical model numbers?
Isn't is the US unlocked version US998U <- ending with a "U"?

Jump to the last paragraph of this answer for the important stuff (but you already know about that because you helped someone else by pointing them to that thread).
To answer your question about US998, LG differentiates between the identical model number by IMEI and DEVICE-ID. All open market US998 sold by 3rd party retailers have IMEI and DEVICE-ID registered with the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock website. Both numbers have to match for LG to email you an official bootloader unlock code. I actually have one for one of my B&H Photo US998 phones.
No, US998U is the official carrier unlocked model V30+ (128 GB), has nothing to do with being unlocked. The U just denotes the model with more storage. At one point we thought "U" could mean unlocked, but it doesn't because we saw the H932U is the T-mobile V30+ they briefly sold, while the H932 is the regular T-mobile V30. "U" on the end just means the V30+ model. The open market US998U was never allowed to have bootloader unlock codes -- which LG never explained. Even the open market US998 V30 users had to basically hack the LG Developer website to get their codes emailed to them. To this day, the US998 V30 is not OFFICIALLY listed, but should be.
But 4 of my 5 V30/V30+ are all bootloader unlocked, in spite of LG. Because of this:
IMPORTANT STUFF:
All V30/V30+/V30S on the planet (except for the T-Mobile H932 variants) can now be bootloader unlocked and rooted. See the WTF bootloader unlock and root THREAD.
Exploit found after this thread was started, and this thread died, so I'm only seeing now the answers need to be changed. Developments can happen quickly...

When I first answered your question in early May 2018, that was the correct answer. But things change quickly.
All V30/V30+/V30S on the planet (except for the T-Mobile H932 variants) can now be bootloader unlocked and rooted. See the WTF bootloader unlock and root THREAD.
Somebody resurrected this thread so, I need to set the record straight.
hi people ,
after looking at the breakthrough (Boot loader Unlocking),
I am looking to buy v30+,
there's this guy who is selling at a reasonable price. he says its h930
I would to know is there a European Variant for v30+.?

H930G is V30+. Single SIM.
Sold in Italy (even available for official LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list) and Israel (not eligible for the LG official bootloader unlock).
This new exploit does not need LG's permission, of course.

I've asked him to show SS of the hardware info..
It's a single sim.. I am really excited.
In the meanwhile i am looking to try this exploit on my G6 coz no one has tried uptil now.!

So it's confirmed.. It's not H930..

Doesn't matter. It's already on US998. If Nougat, update to Oreo, bootloader unlock and root.
If already on Oreo US998, then just bootloader unlock and root.

Hello everyone,
I am looking to get V30 but i want to root and unlock bootloader. i know that only european model that can be unlock bootloader via LG website. Also i read a thread here which most variant of v30 except T-mobile H932 that can't be unlock. I want to make sure to get a V30 that can be root. I got an experience with the G5 korean Variant which can't be root or unlock bootloader that's why I am asking you guys. I only have a few option: Verizon , At&t or korean Variant. so any suggestion?
Sorry...

Also i read a thread here which most variant of v30 (CAN be bootloader unlocked and rooted) except T-mobile H932 that can't be unlock (Actually T-mobile H932 just can't be rooted -- as the T-mobile H932 does have bootloader unlock, but does NOT have necessary fastboot flash commands and is the one model than cannot be cross flashed to a V30 model which does have fastboot flash commands).

1) Every V30/V30+/V30S on the planet CAN be bootloader unlocked and rooted -- except for the T-mobile H932.
2) It's NOT true that only European H930 model can be bootloader unlocked on LG website. On LG website -- where you are asking LG's permission -- open market US998 and H930G can also get bootloader unlock codes. I have an open market US998 V30 rooted since January 2018 through LG website! I have official unlock.bin code for that open market Us998 phone sent to me by LG through that website.
3) See #1. We no longer need LG's permission. There's a quite nice bootloader unlock exploit in Oreo which can easily bootloader unlock and root almost EVERY V30/V30+/V30S. See this thread:
WTF V30/V30+/V30S Bootloader Unlock and Root (MOST VARIANTS)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193
4) What LG V30/V30+/V30S phone to get? Almost any you wish.
I am on AT&T and bought two MINT Sprint LS998 V30+ for $335 off eBay -- but in 10 minutes they were cross flashed to open market US998.
I also own three other "original" US998 V30/V30+ I bought from B&H Photo.
However, if you live in U.S. ...
Do NOT get the H930DS. Those don't have the LTE bands you need for U.S. carriers and you cannot add them.
Also, if you live in the U.S,. do NOT get any of the Korean variants for bootloader unlock, as it's a LOT more complicated.
Yes, Korean carrier variants can be rooted, and much thanks to the Korean guys who have made a video and written out extensive instructions. But you first have to follow MY guide to bootloader unlock and THEN follow their guide to finish. If you are in the U.S. and want root, there's no advantage to buy Korean carrier variant which has more complications.
For U.S, you probably want just any of the North American variants. Just choose whichever is less expensive at this moment, as you will convert/cross flash to what you need.
AT&T H931
Sprint LS998
Verizon VS996
open market/U.S. Cellular US998 (confusingly the same model number, and there's really no difference)
Canadian H933
regional carrier AS998
You can get mint LS998 V30+ (128GB) on eBay for $320 (current pricing, as it was recently $335)
After rooting, if you wish to flash back carrier-specific modems (like for Sprint or Verizon) you can do that.
4) One favor to ask... Please do not use this Q&A format any more. Just open a regular thread, please. It's a pain to answer these type Q&A questions and manually put in the formatting for good answers.
Thanks @ChazzMatt for the answer. sorry for using this Q&A format. I'm really new to XDA. I don't know how to use it well yet.
@ChazzMatt m living in Cambodia so sad that i can't get the V30 via eBay. and the price here for the v30 64gb model cost around 350$ already :/
