You will need to convert the firmware of your variant into a US998 before you can download any roms or root. Then you can root your phone. After you go through that process, you can finally download and install roms.

Yes, what @XCaliburX said. For the North American variants only the US998 firmware has the necessary fastboot flash commands for the Oreo bootloader unlock exploit. You have to convert to US998 (at least temporarily) to bootloader unlock and root.
This does not apply to the European, Middle East, Asian variants. See the links @XCaliburX's post.

How can I OTA system.

Excuse me. I bought a old V30 and I search IMEI know the phone type is AS998. Then I unlocked bootloader and flash US998 20a. In LG Bridge prompt me can update to 20b. But in phone OTA had nothing. Who can teach me how to OTA on phone. I won't want to use LG Bridge.

Then use dev patched LGUP.
You can't use OTA with TWRP.

Then use dev patched LGUP.
Because you've changed to another variant you won't receive inferior partial image OTA update, you have to flash superior full image KDZ.
Easy. Takes 5 minutes. Upgrade option via LGUP. You keep all your data and settings.

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?
Thanks

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.

Even using Magisk Hide to hide the banking app, it doesn't work?

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. I heard there is a box you can manage everything with your phone but it's expensive. Maybe I should bring it to some cell phone shop who has that. I'm a little worried if l brick the device.
@ChazzMatt
I checked boombox rom but it's not working without root. So there's no way to convert it now without root.

Use the WTF INSTRUCTIONS for Bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root.
During that process you will also convert your LS998/AS998 to US998.

Wait. EU H930 is incompatible with US998 20H.
Do you have more than one phone? Because yesterday you were all over the EU H930 Pie thread, flashing that KDZ repeatedly on your phone.
You should never flash European firmware over North American variants and vice versa.
Here a couple of weeks ago you said you have H931:

So, why were you flashing EU H930 Pie on your phone yesterday? You are going to brick your phone.
If you indeed do have H931 (which seems to be the case, since you say it's "AT&T"), then you need to go back to Frankenstein and start over. Flash US998 Nougat, Master Reset, then US998 Oreo and STAY there until North American Pie is released.

You need to do the Master Reset after flashing US998 Nougat to stabilize it. Until then you will get bootloop. That's why Master Reset is there.
To me, at least, it seems you aren't following the instructions.

This is not really the right place to ask this question, so the thread will be moved by a mod. Q&A Section is better. (EDIT: Mod just moved it. Thank you!)
To update AS998, see Frankenstein instructions. Convert to US998, then update to latest Oreo US998.
I also already answered you in Frankenstein thread yesterday:

You keep saying that in several non-relevant thread... but do you mean stock LG Pie or Linage-based custom ROM Pie? Stock firmware Pie is still being rolled out.
(I'm still on rooted Oreo firmware myself.)
If you want Lineage custom ROMs then you need to bootloader unlock and root, and flash custom ROMs. See WTF INSTRUCTIONS for that.
If you want just stock firmware Pie update, then convert to latest US998 Oreo and wait for US998 Pie. See Frankenstein instructions.
Or what I've done -- bootloader unlock, install TWRP, root, THEN update to latest Oreo US998.

What AS998 firmware are you on right now? Nougat, like 10d or early Oreo like 20a?
Yes, you can convert regional carrier AS998 to US988, using the Frankenstein instructions.
READ them carefully. Follow them carefully.
The only caveat is some AS998 were actually former LS998 converted by eBay dealers, using Octopus box to carrier unlock the Sprint LS998. In at least one instance, an AS998 user could NOT successfully Frankenstein to US998 -- due to something the Octopus box "broke".

Then follow the Frankenstein instructions to convert to US998.
US998 Nougat

US998 Oreo. Go to 20h directly if you don't care about bootloader unlock and root. Or go to US998 20a temporarily, use WTF instructions to bootloader unlock, then go to US998 20h.
Wait for US998 Pie.
I've answered you several times. There's no alternate answers. You just have to go do it.

I updated my AS998 Oreo to US998 Pie
I followed Frankenstein instructions and here is how it went:
1. Flashed (PARTITION DL) NOUGAT US998 but after connecting to LGUP again it still showed AS998 and UPGRADE to Oreo US998 was not allowed.
2. Flashed (PARTITION DL) Oreo US998 and it worked.
3. Flashed (UPGRADE) Pie downloaded from here.
