can the LG G6 be rooted and if it can how?
Yes and no. Try looking around this forum at least a LITTLE before you ask for help. There are plenty of guides.

It means some can and some can't. Go read the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader-unlock-t3614719
This tells you everything you need to know. If you still can't figure it out after that, you're probably better off not rooting.
LG G6 variants H870+US997 can have bootloader unlocked and be rooted with general ease.

Not completely correct. It depends where your US997 comes from. US Cellular US997 devices can't currently be unlocked.

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.

Yeah, I can read , Thanks, I just remember seeing H870DS on the box (Which I threw) and the phone just says H870.
Thats why I'm asking.
Hi,im using a couple phone,ip8 and an LG G4 LS991,i love lg but things that i hate is this g4 is the bootloader cant be unlock coz my device antirollback was v4 and i cant root or modifying the phone.
Looking for a month but many thread say the v4 cant be bootloader unlocked.
So...
I want buy a brand new LG V20 or a Refurbish one,but thing that i want to know,is there a version of the V20 that the bootloader cant be unlock and have a antirollback version like the LG G4 LS991???
Please answer me,your ans very helpful,after solved ill delete the thread.
Huge Thanks.
Whatever you do, don't EVER buy a phone from Sprint. You really should stay away from ALL carriers, but if you must buy a carrier branded phone -- T-Mobile is the only choice.
For now, the LS997 (Sprint V20) is the only model that can't be rooted.

You don't. Thank Sprint for making the LS997 the most locked down variant and unrootable past the very old version ZV7 with a negligible chance of ever becoming rootable again.
For all the other v20 variants, which are still rootable, there are several guides for different variants, just search xda for the thread for your variant.

It's probably legit but the key is in the first step, you have to unlock the bootloader. Currently there is no way to do that therefore it's a no go.

No, their guide on unlocking the bootloader is wrong and won't work on any v20. It's a joke, they took the generic steps and assumed they worked.
