Will updating/flashing a new rom re-lock my unlocked LG G2 (F320s) ?

Hi all,
I recently bought a Korean version of LG G2 F320S from a friend of mine. I had to get it unlocked so that I can use it outside Korea.
It comes unrooted and is currently running Android KitKat 4.4.2. As I want to explore more, I want to manually update my phone to Lollipop and flash custom roms. But the problem is I am not sure if updating/flashing a complete new rom will make my phone become locked again. Moreover, is CloudyG2 3.3 compatible with my Korean G2 F320s?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you got it unlocked by the carrier or by any fix too-smart-not-to-pay-a-few-money method?
If you got it unlocked by paying don't think you'll get any errors or relocking. Already tried it with many other phones (htc, Samsung, sony) and never got any errors after paying.
That about compatibility of cloydyfa's Rom is a question I can't tell you for sure, search it in the Q&A thread

afaik, cloudy3.3 was first released for your variant... because korean variants got lp rom first (other variant releases followed few months later)...
to be sure, check the cloudy thread

TWRP Thread locked?

Does anyone know why the TWRP thread has been locked? I was trying to find out if the lg g6 H870 Dual Sim version was capable of being Rooted.

H870DS? Nope, no root for this model. Only for the European H870.
Regarding the TWRP thread maybe the dev asked to mods to close it as some users had problems, who knows...

Are there 8.* roms for the H872?

I'm a current owner of a G3 d851 looking to upgrade to a new phone. I asked in the G5 forums about 8.* development and was disappointed to see how little there was. My G3 currently has crDroid 4.0 android 8.1 on it and I was hoping to be able to move to a similar 8.* rom with a new phone.
I see there is some 8.* development with the G6 but it seems to be almost all related to the 870, the 872 doesn't seem to be mentioned. I am with metropcs so I presume I should get the T-Mobile H872 version of the G6. So that leads me to two questions:
1. Can a rom for the 870, for example RR, be installed on the 872?
2. Could I as a metropcs user successfully use an unlocked 870?
I would appreciate any thoughts/ideas on this matter.

You can unlock bootloader and flash custom ROM only on H870 and US997. On H872 you are stuck on stock OS which will probably be updated to Oreo soon.

Oh, well that certainly explains the lack of development then. Thanks for the info.
Do you know if the H870 can be used with metropcs/T-Mobile?

It seems like 4G/LTE would not work very good.

This is getting depressing. Maybe I'll be keeping my G3 for awhile longer. At least I have the choice of several 8.1 roms in active development.
Again, thanks for the info.

Custom ROM development is getting worse every year for all phones. Only OnePlus is still getting a lot of love, more than any other device. I'm planning to go for OnePlus 6 this summer.

lg v20 918DS : Is there a Root and ROM ?

Is there a root and rom also applicable for the 918DS ?
I'm planning to buy it, but have not found yet a root option explicitly for the 918DS
DOes someone have experiences with a good ROM for this?
Thanks for advice

No such thing as a 918ds, there's a h990ds, and there's an h918. H990ds is an international dual SIM variant, while the H918 is a US T-Mobile (single sim) variant. They're both rootable and both have dedicated threads.

AFAIK the H873 doesn't have a bootloader unlock or root, I believe only the US997 and H870 have unlocked bootloaders (maybe H872 has an unofficial bootloader unlock, I know there are ROMs for the H872), and I believe the H872, US997, and H870 are the only ones with root.... sorry

Yes but my question is anyone actually working on a solution or this a dead subject now?

There were some talks of devs trying to use the same method as the V30 root to other devices, I remember reading someone mentioned around September once everyone has oreo .. but I don't know what happened to the thread... I figured it wasn't a feasible method
