Just wondering what roms have worked successfully on the RS988, as well as Kernels. I've not seen any evidence of any compatibility, but I'm not sure I want to risk it without confirming that first. Thanks for any and all replies.
To the best of my knowledge... none.

Yeah currently there ate no ROMs or kennels for any other devices except h830 (t mobile) and h850 (unlocked European version). This is due to the fact that those were the only devices that could be boot loader unlocked. Now if this new method is working for you guys on other devices and you have working twrp for your devices that actually flash files then the devs building ROMs for the two currently supported should be able to include the other devices but do NOT flash any roms for any other device to yours. Kindly ask the devs (like @King_lilrowrow or @gwolfu) if they could support your devices. I don't currently fully know if this is possible as I'm not sure you guys can flash files via twrp successfully yet, you would have to ask a dev. If unable to flash files you may need twrp updated for each device (kernel specific stuff), but again not sure as I'm not a developer. Hopefully this heels and hopefully you guys get a chance to enjoy custom ROMs like I have. I know I couldn't deal without, I'm a flashaholic. I actually returned my RS988 for a h830.

If other G5's have BL unlocked and a working build of TWRP then it will be easy for me to add support to my CM14.1 (LineageOS) builds.
The TWRP version targeting 20a/b isn't 100% needed but avoids issues with TZ assertion.
The only device I'm aware of thats close to an unlock method (via someone I know) is the H840 (LG G5 SE)
When any other G5 model is supported you'll see it on our GitHub site: https://www.github.com/ConquestTeam/

Yeah from what I read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/guide-adb-root-rw-dm-verity-off-sprint-t3523499 it appears that this method allowed them to flash twrp, although not sure if it's working 100% (I know they're having issues flashing SuperSU). Not sure if it's also unlocking the boot loader or not or of it simply bypasses the boot loader unlocking issues like old exploits on g2, g3 and g4. But as I said before I'm on h830 so not sure about this method and what exactly it's doing. But it appears to replace recovery with twrp. Also it appears to only be disabling DM verity and mounting system as rw via adb, not sure if it's allowing you to do this via twrp or not. Again if not, I'm assuming that you may need a new twrp built based on the modified kernel and boot image this method flashes. If that's they case maybe someone can goto twrp thread and ask support to be added specifically for these other versions, don't know.

Newbie (well to the V30) here, coming over from the HTC 10, Nexus 5x previous to that... Would like to run a rather stock experience, rooted, twrp and debloated. I've got the AT&T version of this phone.
Which rom is the closest to that?

BoomBox rom falls under your criteria.
Just check if it's compatible with your model, I'm not sure.

Boombox is partially debloated with some unnecessary apps being removed, but there's another full-sized stock rom named "Theory of Everything" which is more noticeably debloated and has the features for the AI software. I'd definitely recommend that to anybody new to the LG V30.
Thanks for the reply guys, i think i may jsut go stock and debloat on my own w/Titanium Backup...

Once you convert to Oreo US998 or H930 there's not much to debloat. Wallpapers, Facebook. What else? And I like Facebook. LG Health? I sort of like that, actually.

Right. Jump you post #193 in that thread. Post #1 in that thread has copy and paste of post #193, but the original is easier to read than quoted version.
Print it out if you can. Don't skip steps. It clearly tells when the go to the next section. It's not hard, you just have to follow the steps.
CONCEPT: @TxanMoe discovered LG Oreo on the V30/V30+/V30S has nice flaw where you can flash your own bootloader unlock code to successfully unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root.
But you need fastboot flash commands. In North America, only the carrier unlocked US998 has that. But you can use dev patched LGUP to convert any other North America phone (except T-mobile H932) to become a US998 Oreo phone. FLASH bootloader unlock code. BOOM. Sprint and Verizon users then add back LTE bands or VoLTE/Wi-fi calling.
Similar situation for the the rest of the world with the European H930 Oreo. Some differences but for this overall view, it's the same concept.
Now, we have learned the June Android security patch will have fix for "LG bootloaders". Unlock the bootloader while you can!
Thank you to all for the input. The phone arrived, but OLED has an issue, some green dot thats always on. More than just one stuck pixel.. back it goes...
Hi everyone.
Is there any possibility convert my us998 to any global rom without root?
I need this because of the language option. When l Root it banks apps don't work in my country.

You can use H930 stock-based Boom box ROM on US998, I'm pretty sure.
But just trying to Frankenstein US998 to Europe H930 or H930DS is dangerous. @TxanMoe did that when he discovered WTF bootloader unlock exploit. But he bricked his phone in the process.
@runningnak3d helped him recover, and then @TxanMoe found his bootloader was indeed unlocked. He had to retrace his steps to figure out what all he had done. But if @runningnak3d hadn't helped him recover his phone from the diastrous H930 flash, we wouldn't have WTF today.
You are really good man @ChazzMatt
Should l flash directly h930 stock based boombox rom? I mean without root. It's regular us998 now. Bootloader is locked. I tried to sell itz, because of the language it is very difficult.
So, I will just download boombox with LG up l will flash is isn't it?

No, you would need TWRP to flash Boom Box. Somebody mentioned that now they have Boom box they have their language back. So it must have more than US998.

Actually l didnt try using magisk hide to hide. I'm not professional about these kind of things. I just read and trying to do it I Root it before from your therad any bank apps were not working.

@ChazzMatt
I checked boombox rom but it's not working without root. So there's no way to convert it now without root.
I found some good kernels for my Lg v30, but it's said only for h930, because ramdisk is different. Therefore, if I convert my us998 to h930 (by flashing official h930 KDZ or custom H930 rom like Boombox). Will I then be able to flash the kernel? Have the ramdisk been change after converting?
Thank

No, do not convert to H930. You'll brick your phone trying to flash H930 KDZ.
You can probably still use the kernels. "H930" in our development is generic for V30. The only time that not true is if you have T-MOBILE H932.
That's when all ROMs are either for H930 (almost everyone) or H932 (only that variant specifically).

I have flashed the Turtle kernel from telegram group, known as only for h930, for my stock 20e us998. The phone was booted but suddenly restarted right after access home screen. Then it repeated the circle.
i guess it's about the difference of ramdisk.

You can flash AOSP custom ROMs on US998. WHERE do we have to post it do people stop asking?
H930 is the generic Dev name for the V30, for AOSP ROMS. It just is. Only H932 can't flash H930 AOSP ROMs.

All AOSP ROMS are for US998.
Forget they say "H930". That sort of a mistake..

It's not confusing if you read the ROOT STICKY GUIDE guide. See post #2, point 3 in the link above.
If you're flashing Havoc "Pie" (LOS-16) yes you use stock Oreo base. But IF you're flashing Havoc "Android 10" (LOS-17) then you need stock Pie base.

I wrote The ROOT STICKY GUIDE guide to answer such questions like that. And I put link to that guide in huge letters in the WTF instructions. But no one seems to go read it. Post #2 is "ADVICE ON CUSTOM ROMS".
The dev who created the first Los ROM had an H930. So he created the entire tree called H930 instead of V30.
But all the AOSP ROMs are compatible with all V30 variants except for T-Mobile H932.
So we get tons of questions like where are the US998 ROMs? Answer they're all the V30 AOSP ROMs.
A lot of people ask "how can I convert to H930 because I want to run H930 ROMs?" And the answer is, you don't have to do that.
While a talented, helpful person did write a guide on how to partially convert North American variants to H930, I do not recommend it at all. And I will continue to tell people not to do that. Most people want to do it because they want the LTE bands on the H930 or the H930DS. And the answer to that is, if you wanted those bands you should have bought H930 or H930DS.

There's just way too much information to take in haha,I had past experience with Samsung,Moto,Sony,Xiaomi even iPhone and Symbians I have used LG's too ever since G2/G3 in android realm but never tried modding them I wonder how other people with less info might get through all of it
Okay so I didn't plan to buy V30 I just got it cheap so took it coming from SD845 Mi8 had a 2XL in past too,so not being in US and H930 being more suitable for here do you think I'll benefit from H930's 4g bands ? Because I always thought baseband was more of a hardware thing don't get it how H930's modem will work with a US Variant
So far I am happy with LG US devices,there is no way around for Samsung US devices other than installing U(Unlocked Stock)
I just feel that My DAC on V10 sounded way better than both V20 and V30 although I'm sure these devices have newer DAC
I am planning to Stay on stock can kindly direct me to some mod that will improve cam quality and dac for Oreo or Pie smth stable and good for battery
Thanks a lot mate you've helped me a lot God Bless you

Glad to be of help. I was merely curious about the "wide range of stock pie firmware" comment.
I only post full image KDZ or TWRP-flashable zips based on full image KDZ, and I post those in the ROMs section. Full image KDZ is stock, official LG firmware. (I maintain Nougat, Oreo, Pie KDZ threads for several V30 variants, but they are all clearly labelled for which variant and which OS.)
Yes, someone has posted beta Pie partial image "update" files -- which by definition are not yet official release and possibly buggy.
Stick with KDZ and you'll be OK.
