I bought the US997 version from Best Buy a month ago and today I tried installing the LineageOS on it and it says "This device is H870"
Is there a way to confirm whether or not this is the US997 model?
Thanks

If you have unlocked the bootloader selecting US997 then it's a US997.
Tried to reflash the last twrp for US997?

I want to buy LG V20, but I can't choose between H910 and VS995. I need stable in 3G networks.
What will be better?
sorry for my English
Depends on what carrier you're using. VS995 will be less compatible with other US carriers so you would want to stick strictly to verizon if you're getting it. If you're looking for support for other carriers go with either t-mobile h918 variant or us996 US unlocked (NOT US CELLULAR). If you plan on rooting these models are currently being supported with stock and custom ROMs.

The VS995 and H910 models support the frequencies I need. And if you look at the two, which is better? Root and Custom ROM's are needed
Since you are looking to root, the H910 is the only model that is still rootable on the latest (v10r) firmware.

If you get one that hasn't been patched for DirtySanta (pre-10P I believe) it works. The newest versions has AntiRollback so you can't go back to a rootable firmware so just make sure you get one with the proper firmware.

No, this only applies to VS995. As far as I know H910 is still rootable on the latest firmware.

The only unlockable variants are H870 and US997 so the answer is no, you won't be able to flash custom roms because you can't unlock bootloader. If it's possible return it to the seller.

I do not have this phone. I want to buy it.
Yes it has, mine is H870 DEC and I have unlocked the bootloader and root.
If it's H870 then yes, no matter which region it is. Other variants like H870S/DS are unlockable.

That's not true at all, sudamerican models are H870 also and don't have unlockeable bootloader. Only carrierfree H870 model and US carrier free model can be unlocked.

Hi, I'm currently using the Korea version of the LG G6, LGM-G600L and after a quick browse, I can see that I can unlock my phone bootloader and install TWRP, the last thing concern me is the lack of custom ROM for LGM-G600L, and I wonder if I can flash customer ROM for EU or US version without any problems? Has anyone tried it?

Koren model of the G6 can't be unlocked, only H870 european version and US977 unlocked version. But root is possible in H872, H870 and US977. If you flash another version ROM you can brick your device or may work but with some errors, it is recommended to not do it.

I can see the switch allow OEM unlock in the developer options, inn't that is the option to allow for unlock bootloader?
But it's sad to know that I can't flash custom ROM, guest I should investigate further before buying new phone.
Thanks for the info.

You can have the option in the developer settings, but if the official LG website doesn't provide the unlock.bin file for your model (it's the case) you can't unlock the bootloader.

You can't. Only US996 unlocked are bootloader unlockable.

the ls997 became permanently unrootable just a handful (nougat) of versions after release. software version ZV7 (a nougat version) was the last one where it was possible to rollback to an actually rootable version, anything after that, including oreo versions, are unrootable and basically a 0% chance for that to change.
Every single other V20 variant is rootable, just not Sprint's because they locked it down way more than the other models.
