Can i Flash h870 firmware over my h872 model?
Main reason is lack of language.

No. You will brick your phone. H872 has different RSA encryption from the other North American variants and even the European variants.

Since H830 has been rooted, I strongly believe the others will get rooted some time down the road.
In light of that, I'd like to ask experience devs or people who know about the G5 this question: what's safe to flash and what isn't?
I've had experience with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and flashing TMobile stuff onto Canadian variants worked no problem, would this be the same for the H830/H831?
Seeing as these variants are similar in model # and a few discussions about how rooting the H831 would stem from the H830, is it safe to flash vice-versa?
Thanks XDA!
I'd say, you shouldn't flash anything. These models are not just different in model number, but radios used, and possibly other small things too. Just because the model name is similar, it does not mean it's safe to go around flashing other variants' stock firmware.
H830 and H831 are as different as night n day when it comes to unlock, root etc.
you CANNOT flash H830 bootloader/modem on any other G5 model, period. insta-brick. and not the kind u fix with flashing stock firmware back. H831 root/unlock will never stem from H830.. so let's end all of those discussions right now. H831 is in same ballpark as the locked AT&T, Verizon and Sprint models.
the 2 partitions that you could flash and it wouldnt brick you would be boot and system.. but those probably wouldnt let u boot into android.. but you wouldnt be bricked.. could recover with KDZ.
G5 users should only flash the software for their exact model.
there are a few exceptions... H850 variants .. H850N or w/e for example could flash H850 kdz and it would not brick them.. but it also wouldnt help them with unlock since the H850 unlocks are based on IMEI in LG's database.. not the software you flash. Another exception would also be for the intl users.. someone with a German H850 could flash another countries H850 sw as the only differences might be carrier settings and languages settings.

So it's safe to flash H860 kdz on my H860N device? Not really planning to do that as I really want to play safe with my phone, but just asking

not sure if dual sim would stop working.. but it wouldnt brick you. as of today anyway.. a future update could change the qfuse version or something.. and flashing something with a lower version would cause issues.
The only people who should be considering flashing another phone's kdz are those with H850/H860 carrier versions who want something unbranded. for example.. an H850 vodafone phone user may want to flash an H850 EU OPEN kdz.
or
Bootloader unlocked H830 users could adapt a system.img (only the system img.. not a full rom.. not a kdz.. etc) to work on their phones and flash the system.img with twrp.
Thanks for the replies, that clears things up relatively simply.
The thing is, carrier H850 and EU Open H850 are NOT different SKUs. An H831 and an H830 are different SKUs and quite different HW.

As it seems so. Like I said, the Note series was a bit different, almost identical hardware with two different SKUs, but I guess the G5 is done differently.
Praying for root soon! My eyes are bleeding from night-time blue light!
Can someone please tell me the difference between LG G6 H870 UK Vs LG G6 H870 European version? Both of them are carrier free and unlocked. Does this mean both of their bootloaders can be unlocked?
https://m.clove.co.uk/lg-g6 . This website is selling LG g6 h870.
Do you think this one's bootloader is unlockable?
there was no need to open a second thread regarding this
I am planning to buy an LG G6+ US997U(Model no LGUS997U.AAMZBK) and import it to India for the simple fact that US997U models are bootloader unlockable.
The problem arises that the LTE bands being used in India are not mentioned in the FCC filing for US997 models.
As I understand the modem in SD821 supports all LTE bands and there are region specific software blocks to block other bands.
My question is whether after unlocking and rooting, I can remove those blocks so the phone works fine with the LTE bands in India.
Please Help.
you know only the H870 and US997 can be unlocked no other models like the h870d or ds or a u version
..but DS is quite different. (two sim) 997 and 997U are differ just in mem size and quad dac. So the boot is almost the same.

Yes I read in an Amazon review that there is official support for bootloader unlock for US997U.
Question now is whether I can unlock all the LTE bands available with the SD821 and whether I can flash the H870 or US997 recovery and roms(Lineage, AquariOS) on US997U?
@J0SH1X @rc420head Can you guys help answer this please?

Absolute nothing. No custom rom, no recovery, no root. ...and I think no system updates too for u, because it is an Amazon branded phone.
So... Is the G6+ (US997U) supported by LG Developer's bootloader unlock, or not? That's the real issue... not the fact that it's "just the memory size" because LG distinguishes support based on the IMEI/MEID. Consider the fact that all of the US99x phones are the same model number for the "unlocked" and the "US Cellular" versions... but LG will not send you an unlock code if you attempt to use a device ID from a device that is provisioned to the US Cellular carrier. The hardware is literally identical.
Also consider that the V30+ is in the same boat. The US998 can be unlocked on the LG dev site (with a little trickery - you have to change the website code in Chrome for it to work)... but the US998U can NOT. We're not really sure why.
Presently... the LG Dev Supported Devices List does NOT list the US997U (G6+)... so I want to ask anyone here that says it can be unlocked how they did it. It's hard to find info on xda, since the "plus" version doesn't seem to have it's own portal.
Thanks, all!
I tried to unlock my US997U on the portal (selecting US997 from the dropdown) and my unlock was brutally denied.
Extremely lame that simply having more memory means I can't unlock my phone!
is there any update on this? can LGUS997U be unlocked? I too was denied on the LG developer website

YEAH SUPER LAME!. the website denied mine too. SOOO LAME. because fastboot gave me the CODE... SO LAME.
Unfortunately, your device( United States, (AMAZON(USA)), LGUS997U.AMZ )does not support unlocking the bootloader.
Hello friends I have a LG G6 H870 for the Latin American market by the "claro company", when I try to follow the steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader- unlock-t3614719
To root and unlock my smartphone LG informs me that the bootloader key is not supported for my H870
The forums that I have looked for only speak to me about the LG method, and my question is?
Is there any other method? Or is there another way to root my H870 and install a rom like the Fulmics room 3.5?
regards

I'm sorry but there is no method atm to root your H870, only European H870 can be bootloader unlocked.

Thank you
I bought a Latin American G6 by accident; the seller didn't mention anywhere that it was from that area and I don't know who I'm more mad at- the seller or LG for being so f-ing finnicky with these phones.
Hello. Has a bootloader unlocked on the model h870 region DEC?
Try it, if it works great if not then you got your answer.

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.
