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.
I just want use my device in Turkish.

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.

Hey Guys.
So I'm about to get a new G5 from T-mobile.
I understand there are several roms out there for different versions of the device, am I right?
Is there anyway I could get rid of the official T-mobile rom and install instead the official/international LG one, something without all the garbage of a carrier and that will be future update directly by LG?
Will appreciate any leade
Thanks Guys!
Hello there, yes you should be able to depending on if you want to do the work or not.
You would have to root your device using the tot method and then get TWRP on it. After that find a rom that is clean or without bloatware to flash on your H830. No you cannot flash the international version of H850.
Thank you so much for your response.
Unlock the bootloader and root is the first thing I'll do.
So if I rather stay official and not using custom roms, there is no LG clean img I can flash?
Thanks again!

Hello again, you can always flash LG Stock Roms for H830, but just not for H850 on H830.
Use the ROM that's made for H830, you could try H850 but there might be some risks associated with it. Possible brick.

Trying an H850 ROM on an H830 will GUARANTEE a brick.
Do not attempt to to do so!
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?
Thanks!

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

I find it easier to just debloat manually...some people consider decent apps as boat and delete stuff you may like...so root delete the junk and enjoy

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.

Ok whats this converting to US998 all about? I've got the H931 coming, so there is a way i read, so it seems to basically turn the phone into a unlocked version of the H931?

You need to actually read the instructions. Your haven't done that yet? You cannot bootloader unlock and root stock H931. You have convert root H931 to US998.

Don't have the phone yet, so been slowly going through this seeing what I have to learn coming from the HTC 10, was planning on following these instructions to get going: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500
I assume thats what you are referring to?

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...
The main thing stopping me from rooting and flashing a custom ROM is tripping Safetynet and not being able to use certain apps. I also don't want to brick my phone or lose software features like i did when I rooted my Sony Z3. Has anyone had any issues with Safetynet and root?
Model Number : LG-H930
I've attached my phone details.
Thank you for your help.

You won't lose any features "like Sony" if you stay on rooted stock firmware. Or stock based ROMs. I specifically address that at the the top of the WTF instructions -- about Sony. LG is not Sony
You won't trip safety net if you use Magisk. You're asking questions long answered in the WTF thread.

Yes. You have H930 on Oreo, so very easy for you.
Almost all V30/V30+/V30S on the planet can be bootloader unlocked and rooted, with the exception of the T-Mobile H932. But some are harder than others. The easiest are the ones already with fastboot flash commands and already on Oreo KDZ: US998, H930, H930DS.
For instance, the other North America variants have to Frankenstein convert (at least temporarily) to US998 for bootloader unlock and root.
I have a V30 + US but currently using rom Canada and display code is H933. So now if I want root and twrp, do I need to rerun the us998 rom? This is my first time using a LG phone. Hope you guidance. tks you

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.
Hey, guys, I'm new to the community wanted to see if I could get some help so I bought the phone and the original owner flashed it from an LS998 to an AS998 my question is how can I convert it from AS998 to US998 I will be using this phone with Tmobile and want to bootloader unlock for custom ROM's.

Use the WTF INSTRUCTIONS for Bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root.
During that process you will also convert your LS998/AS998 to US998.
thank u Will give it a go soon @ChazzMatt
