You could look here. It should work, however this perticular guide is for the h850 international version - no guarantees.
Let me know if it doesn't work.
It needs the lg page, which was terminated from 2021

Its ridiculous that LG isn't letting people unlock the bootloader on a phone that's 6 years old. I guess they're not getting my business.
Yeah, is there other way?

I've been looking, but it seems like LG had been letting people unlock the bootloader... and then decided to lock it back down.
In other words, no.

Will the amount of development improve for the G5 in general for all variants?
I believe so, yes
What I'm wondering is how similar the Canadian model is to it. Or how much difference between the h831 and h830 there really could be.

So how do I get root? Did I miss something?

pretty much the same in hardware.. but the entire bootstack is different. what works for tmobile would not work for H831. H831 is in the same boat as the ATT, Verizon and other locked variants. not possible to use the tmobile bootstack on non-tmo phones either.

apparently.. check out the tmobile g5 development section.. there's a TOT made that flashes TWRP on your devices.. works as long as you unlock the bootloader thru fastboot first.
Can some one send me the link to the t mobile lg g5 flash twrp please

for EU H850 devices that do not pass through LG's Bootloader Unlock Developer page... the only hope is for you all to contact LG and continuing to contact/complain until they either give you a valid reason why some H850 EU variants do not work when 95% of them do... and hopefully they will add your variant/buyer-type to the unlock program officially.

Hey guys, I'm coming from a Xperia Z5 Premium here, and my question is will I be able to flash a unbranded firmware onto the Verizon LG V30 (VS996).
With my Z5P, I would use Xperifirm & SP Flashtool to flash different firmwares, does LG KDZ's work the same?, I'm not too experienced so sorry if this is a noob question.
Also I know the obvious solution would be to buy the unlocked version of the V30, but I won't be doing that, any help/answers are appreciated, thanks. :good:

No, as LG has added signature checks for all variant firmware for V30. You can't crossflash LG firmware to other variants anymore, like you could with the V20.

Ahh okay, thankyou for your reply, I guess I'm just stuck with the Verizon firmware then lol, going a little off topic, is there likely to be a root method for the VS996?, I know your very involved with the V30 community, thanks.

Verizon variant is pretty locked down. Heck, you can't even get into the secret menus.

Check the WTF thread for this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/wtf-lg-v30-t3790500?goto=newpost
It's worth mentioning in here incase anyone comes across it, it (might) be possible to unlock your bootloader and root using the information in the thread above, I myself haven't read too much into it but if anyone's interested I definitely recommend going to check it out :good:

Yeah, the situation has definitely changed in the past few days. Back in March we thought we couldn't cross flash between variants. Turns out that's NOT TRUE, especially if you use the patch LGUP.
Recently we knew it was possible to flash TO VS996 from LG US998 but now we found out there's a simple bootloader unlock bug in Oreo.

Hi Matt, how's it going ? Is this still true for VS996, can't cross flash to US998 yet ?

Please, I wish people wouldn't dig you old threads. You are going to risk wrong answers compared to recent threads. Look at WTF thread or especially Frankenstein thread. Those emphasize CROSSFLASHING North American variants and give the instructions! < WHICH I WROTE
We can't lock every thread. Just let die and stay buried, please. Well, at least you read my LAST answer where I said the situation had "recently" changed. That was 7 or 8 months ago -- so not recent any more.
Was looking for an answer but couldn't find of LG had done the official unlock for the us998+... ? I know there was a delay but yet to see if it ever happened..

If you mean bootloader unlock, no. That we know of. We discovered the other US998 V30 by accident. It's possible it's in the IMEI database listed someway we don't know, because LG won't tell us. They still haven't officially announced the US998 V30 bootloader unlock.
Ok, so first I apologise if this has been posted, but upon searching I found nothing.
Ok, so I unlocked my bootloader when I was still on 10d, but my friend updated my phone (I left it at his house to tamper with, never thinking he'd update it) and now is on 20o and has the October 2018 security patch.
All that to say, can I still achieve root (or twrp or magisk?) though my V30 has been updated but because my bootloader is unlocked?
And I'm quite familiar with rooting and unlocking bootloaders but LG phones throw my brain into a haze.
Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance.

As long as you friend was "messing up" your phone why didn't he at least update you to the latest Oreo firmware? Some friend. T-Mobile H932 20o is old.

You searched and found nothing and know nothing about rooting the T-mobile H932? I find that hard to believe since the T-mobile H932 has been rooted since September 2018 and the thread is almost always prominently posted in the Guides section. Link posted below and the thread title is hilariously blunt and answers your question.
As you know or should know, for your T-Mobile H932, you will need to downgrade back to Nougat 10d to install TWRP and root. Ability to downgrade back to 10d has nothing to do with whether your bootloader is already unlocked or not. People on current T-mobile H932 20S can downgrade back to Nougat 10d to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root.
As you know or should know, this method below is the only way to install TWRP and root the T-Mobile H932:
[ROOT] H932 - lafploit 1.5 (but you MUST downgrade to v10d)
(This method is ONLY for the T-mobile H932. Everyone uses the WTF method.)
Any further questions, please ask in that thread.
After you downgrade back to 10d, install TWRP and root, then you can use TWRP-flashable zip (ROM) to update to T-MOBILE H932 20S:
[STOCK] [H932] [20s] [Oreo] T-Mobile LG V30 Stock Collection (Includes Debloated)

Yes you can still roll back to 10D. Source? I bricked my device and recently just got it back from LG with the newest firmware on it. I'm rooted.

THANK YOU for the info.
I totally misunderstood it at first, but that's on me. Sometimes I'm dense.
What I should have said is, that it was unclear to me if I was able to root 20o or not.
Thank you either way.

I'll clarify, T-Mobile did not implement ABR. You are safe to downgrade to 10D as I said in my other post to you.

No worries. I had no idea if going back to 10D was safe or not. I tried it anyways since it seems LG will fix your device no matter what.
I also got my own device back. I put a piece of tape on the plastic sim holder. When I got my device back, that was the first thing I looked for.
