In US only the US997 (without other letters and unbranded) has root and twrp, others model don't
You can also buy the European H870 (no other letters like H870DS), has unlockable bootloader and correct bands for AT&T, TMO.

So is the phone worth the 300 to 400 price tag?

Nope, the H870
So not much ROM activity for the ATT or T-Mobile versions?
None.
when it comes to the LG flagships, get the single SIM international version which always gets ROM support and root.

So the US997 is the way to go. I see US Cellular uses the same model#. Can the bootloader be unlocked to on that one?

There are so many variants my head is spinning.
I just want to be able to go on eBay and buy a phone that I can use on AT&T and flash a ROM on it.
Sm-g950f or sm-g950fd if you want dual sim.

Is it worth waiting to see if the US unlocked version can be BL unlocked? Is the exynos better anyway?
Also what about the +? Is there a bootloader unlocked version of the SM-G950F ?
Just bought the G955F on eBay.

The only thing unlocked with the us unlocked phones is their ability to work on all carriers, nothing to do with bootloader locks. Exynos has an unlocked bootloader, so that makes it better i guess.

So have you got it? how's it working on AT&T? I am getting ready to buy one too.
Got it and it works flawlessly! I'm told I can't do video calling over the network or something like that but I don't use that anyway.
Thank you
root is not currently available for the US or Canadian Snapdragon varient of the S8 or S8+. It is being worked on right now.

I got mine from B&H. Let me know if you need a tester.
Terrible. I wanted to buy the unlocked model but if no root ever available then i don't want it.
Hello.
I can't seem to find the info, has the Canadian G6 been unlocked? Also are the US roms compatible with the H873? I'm considering getting one but want to be able to run custom roms.
Thanks!

Very much. Actually it seems someone is working on it in the bounty thread for H870DS
Who has the AT&T model and converted to the Canadian model? It seems theres a few posts on it but really not a lot of info of experiences.
I know how to use LGUP etc, but its been a general rule to NOT flash wrong model firmwares and I even have to tell people myself in some of my threads But does Antirollback no apply to the AT&T G6? Just flash via uppercut and good to go?
Why would you want to convert to H873?
What are the pro's?
Asking cos I am new to g6 added looking for info if h873 can work ok on At&t USA

The LS997 firmware does give volte. But once done sadly no returning back to AT&T firmware due to lack of having it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g6/how-to/convert-upgrade-att-g6-to-h873-oreo-t3791848 I posted a guide awhile back. But no returning if you ever do it.
Talking about my website? Lol I blew the fish up with fireworks. The videos on my site where just tests I never removed [emoji23]
H.Smokes that fish went to hell or heaven in a hand basket! Firework effects look better than some slugs through it. I will check out the vid later.
I am hunting for the US997. A clueless buddy has a US997, he says. He sent me that the unit has LGUS997AUSAPL. How do I make sure this is not the US997U USCellular ver.?

That I’m unsure on how to check for the US.Cellular version. But yeah would avoid it. I currently run US997 firmware on my H871.
Looking at what you posted it seems to be the unlocked version. Might could ask what the IMEI is, it should tell if it is or not.

By flashing the US997 firmware like the H873 firmware. You would just miss WiFi calling if you have att postpaid. I use it on my 2nd line on AT&T prepaid.

So you can just flash us997 fw on h871, no root is needed prior? Is it just kdz flash or is there a specific set of steps? If so, any link?
Also boot loader on h871 is not unlockable so it's limited to stock roms only, custom roms are not flushable, correct?
Do you know if you can flash US997 or any gsm fw on Verizon vs988 same way as for h871?
What about flashing h870fw on h872 t mobile?

Only h871 to LS997 or H873. You’d brick your device if you did. Only T-Mobile firmware for the H872

Hello, I got LG G6. and due to the lack of updates, I want to unlock the Bootloader and Flash a ROM on the device.
I Got the H870 Model, is all the H870 models are unlockable?
How can I know the exact model of the phone (I saw there is H870DS or something like that too)?
Thanks in advance!

If your phone is H870 EU/UK then it is unlockable through LG official.
