[Help] Convert v30 us998 to h930? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

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).

Thank for your helpful information.
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.
Tonight I will flash custom h930 rom like Pixel Exp and give it a try. Hope It works...
Again, thank you for reply me.

Yeah, you should probably only use those kernels in custom ROMs? Many custom ROMs have already recommended custom kernels.
I just know all the current "H930" ROMs are compatible with US998 20E.

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.
Do not try to flash H930 stock firmware on your US998.
Why do you think your need to flash H930 stock firmware on your US998?

Thank you, I asked about it few days/weeks ago and I got only one answer that it won't work.
I don't need stock fmw, but I need Czech language, which is not present in US998 ROM

No you can't flash stock H930 onto US998 but you can flash AOSP ROMS which are categorized as "H93O".

There's an actual thread of how to convert H930 to US998 excluding some incompatible files,its a bit confusing for someone who just walked into V30 community there are posts that say you can't convert then there are posts that tell you how to convert and some of AOSP OP's stated US variant V30 users need to convert to H930(having previous V20 and V10 am aware that H9--/9--DS[dualsim] are often international variant)
Lets say for e.g I need to flash havoc I can give it a go on US998 Oreo? Or ill have to convert to H930 also other H930 Roms I know these are compatible but whats the workaround convert and flash or flash over US998

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.
Read all of Post number 2 in the link I just gave you. You should have read it when you rooted your phone. It's in the WTF instructions.

You're welcome.
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
