I would love to flash this ROM to get rid of the SIM Lock on the T-Mobile version.

That's completely NOT how this works. You flash this and you'll likely brick your phone.

So only a T-Mobile ROM is compatible with the H830? International ROM won't work?
I suppose as long as the KDZ is a GSM not CDMA,. I tried it already on HTC M9 jumped from T-Mobile RUU to At&t and then to international RUU with no bricking.

You have to be particularly careful with LG phones (and in general). There may be some other models and manufacturers where this could work.
But I think this is rarely the way to obtain sim unlock.
A lot of the times the phones are not identical between regions and flashing a different firmware will totally destroy the phone.
LG in particular doesn't even like you flashing an older firmware onto the phone and instituted an anti-rollback mechanism on some US model phones, where even flashing the correct model's older version would result in a total brick. Yes, you could actually brick your phone by flashing a kdz file, meant for your phone, on LG flashing software, that was just the version prior.

So, in general. We have to wait to unlock the bootloader, root, TWERP and flash custom ROMS into the LG G5 instead of trying to flash a stock KDZ?
These manufacturers are making it harder and harder, we are somehow loosing the flexibility that made us choose Android over IOS.
I was wondering if anyone else has this variant of the G5, as I have never seen it in any other XDA threads. I got this variant from C Spire (aka Cell South). If anyone else owns this variant, it would be nice to know if there have been any developments with unlocking the bootloader, or if it will work with the T-Mobile unlock (since cspire just piggybacks off of other carriers).
Thanks,
systemCTL
I have this model as well..
I got it about 2 weeks ago from cspire. I would be afraid to try the tmobile unlock on it..my luck it will brick the phone.
Any one can unlock lg g5 AS992 bootloader ? any hope to root it ?
Im stuck with this phone on wifi tethering it is just not working even with shareit
hi
i need help please this version is bed really no radio no hotspot no acces to contact sim

A guy i know at work has this model successfully rooted.(i saw with my own eyes).But the problem is he got layed off and i cant contact him.He also said that the tmobile version is identical to canadian version as far as specs and hardware.And it makes sence to me because i own a samsung note 4 canadian version and can flash any T-Mobile rom.Im wondering if he rooted using T-Mobile stuff.Any thoughts on this will be welcome
By the way i am on N 20c version using telus sim and factory unlocked.pretty sure he had exact same
Could be possible but there not risks? But i wanna try this because i want to get root on my LG G5 H831 but i don't know if the risk is big

I don't have this device but, the following threads may be helpful for what you are looking for that's specific to your device. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.

I'm looking for the latest USA factory unlocked firmware for the Stylo 4 (KDZ file), does anyone know where I can find that? I have looked everywhere I can think of and everyone has carrier specific firmware, but not the one I am looking for.
The specific model is LMQ710ULM.AUSABK.
The IMEI is: 357183090498307

It is the unlocked model sold directly by LG in the USA, so it is non-carrier firmware.

Hi there,
You can try this website.
https://lg-firmwares.com/
or
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmq710ulm-firmwares/#tab=firmwares
since your phone is network unlocked I think it might be safe to reinstall the firmware.
However, if you have your doubts feel free to search it online or ask LG directly.

Thank you. I found out that they never released the KDZ for the factory unlocked phones (region USA). So, the only way to update my phone would be to flash carrier firmware, which, is kinda risky, since it would technically be a crossflash. I would likely lose certain features, such as Wi-Fi calling and/or VoLTE. One of the few firmwares that supports wi-fi calling is the T-Mobile firmware, but I wouldn't flash that firmware because it is different than the hardware of my phone (their model has 2 GB of RAM, mine has 3 GB of RAM, etc...

Hi there,
Yes, while I was researching it online I found two firmware for this phone for the US region. But anyways have you tried using a PC suite from LG to reinstall the firmware. Or have you tried going on to the recovery mode and just reset the whole device. Or better try to install a custom ROM, to be honest I think it might be okay if you flashed a Europe region firmware, but make sure you back up the current firmware. I flashed a Samsung phone which was used to be locked and then I unlocked it after that I flashed the carrier firmware and it didnt carrier locked my phone. But anyways try your best.
Sincerely
