Yes, or I believe you can also buy directly from LG themselves.

Just be careful to buy the official carrier unlocked version, not some Amazon merchant re-selling the U.S. Cellular version -- which confusingly has the same model number.

Amazon will be one of the authorized retailers, but not their independent merchants. Just be careful. B&H Photo and Best Buy will also be selling this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nosferatu.:
Carrier unlocked version I'm assuming will have better likelihood of getting TWRP/root correct?

Secondly, do others think the carrier unlocked version will support VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile USA?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes. Based especially on the LG V20 and most recently the 2017 LG G6 earlier this year.

Carrier unlocked versions will definitely get root, very quickly after being added to the

LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list

.

These official carrier unlocked versions have full ADB flash commands. (LG stripped most of the commands out of the T-mobile LG V30.)

Within a few days of the LG G6 North America version being added to the list, the LG G6 carrier unlocked versions had

root, TWRP, and ROMs.

< Go to that link to see the two pages of dev work.

However, it took LG six weeks from

releasing the North American US997 (May 12, 2017)

carrier unlock versions for LG to add both the

North American US997 (June 29, 2017

) and

European H870 (June 1, 2017)

versions to that list. I don't know why the delay, especially for the North American version? Let's hope it's not as long for the LG V30 US998 and H930!

For the LG G6, the carrier unlocked version had both Verizon and T-mobile VoLTE, but no Wi-Fi calling. One T-mobile customer says he had Wi-Fi calling but he's now sold the phone, so he can't prove. Another says no, and Verizon customer also says no. However, they all agree they have VoLTE. I assume if it works for two carriers it will work for them all?

I posted the links to those in other threads, but can dig them up for you if you wish.

Posting this exchange here, too, as it's relevant and threads get buried:

Hidden T-mobile menu available on the U.S. Cellular V30. Seems to require root for permission. :

The U.S. Cellular V30 has the same bands as the "open market" US998, but the open market US998 will get bootloader unlock and root. ;) This menu is probably also on the open market US998.

I have the US Cellular version which shares the same model number as the unlocked version (US 998). I am on T Mobile with VOLTE and WiFi Calling.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] rootnooby:
Just to be clear, are you confirming that you're using the unlocked version US998 and both volte and TMobile WiFi calling are working? That would be very important for me to understand in that I rely on TMobile WiFi calling. In my situation, I would definitely go with the unlocked version for the benefit of root in the future.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhantomGamers:
I have a T-Mobile v20 right now and I'm pretty happy with it, but I suspect it'll be a while before we get Oreo and when we do it probably won't support Treble, not that it would matter because there's no fastboot commands on the TMO variant anyway (same as v30/g6/g5).

I'm thinking about jumping to the v30 when Oreo comes out *if* it gets Treble support, but don't really want to jump ship to a new device without support for the latest TMO tech, so I'd love to see the results of someone flashing the TMO radio on the US Unlocked model when it's available.

Having a truly unlocked bootloader is more important now than ever because with Treble you can flash a generic AOSP image and it'll work perfectly. Really disappointed in TMO for their sudden change in developer support. I'm assuming this is TMO's doing at least because otherwise why would LG offer an unlocked bootloader on their unlocked variant?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] AliLaPointe:

So now that it's been released and is in circulation, can anyone with the carrier unlocked US998 V30 confirm or refute the function of T-Mobile's band 71 and/or T-Mobile Wifi Calling?

I'm looking to upgrade both my wife and my phones from our ailing G4s, and I'm trying to decide between the T-Mobile V30 or paying full price for the carrier unlocked version. Band 71 and Wifi calling probably won't be the deal makers, but those features might factor in.

I missed the nitty-gritty of that post, so that's promising, but I'd still like to hear from someone using the actual carrier-unlocked version (as opposed to the US Cellular version). But I guess you're right in that we'll have to wait for root to really see.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I have the carrier unlocked model. I have 3 of them.

But I've not used that app to see that folder. I also don't use T-Mobile SIM card, so I don't see all the bands this phone even has listed in specs. Like band 66.

I did mess with the hidden menu LTE bands that are visible, but if you click on them you can get stuck on one.

When I get time I'll download that app and try to find that hidden T-Mobile network folder.

Not sure if this was noted elsewhere but I just set up my unlocked V30+ with the T-Mobile sim from my Nexus 5. First phone call I made I was on my home WiFi and the phone notified me that I had used WiFi calling. Whether this is different from T-Mobile WiFi calling I'm not sure.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pongalong:
That's very interesting to me. I have the T-Mobile variant because I need WiFi calling (and hate carrier logos) - if the unlocked version is able to use T-Mobile WiFi calling I would gladly change - can you or anyone confirm this? Maybe turn on airplane-mode but keep WiFi on and try to make/receive calls.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
I'll need more information to figure out if what you see when using WiFi calling is the same thing that I see. On my phone, there's no T-Mobile branding of course, there's just something called WiFi Calling and it works. Since I've got a T-Mobile SIM in there, guessing this is T-Mobile WiFi calling. Is there a difference? I don't know since I've never owned a T-Mobile branded phone and my previous phone definitely did not support WiFi Calling (confirmed with T-Mobile back in the day). Anyway, sorry couldn't be a clearer answer but I think we'll get there.

Edit: I'll try that airplane mode thing and get back to you.

Edit 2: Calling worked just fine and gave me the message in the screenshot attached (this was actually the second time I used it but this was on my work network so maybe that's why it says "first time").
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinniej:
Yes I have an unlocked V30 with TMO sim, and also have used WiFi calling. You can access it under Settings > Networks > More > Wi-Fi calling. Works great for me.:good:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pongalong:
Thanks for looking into it. It does sound like WiFi calling is working properly - there isn't a dedicated app for it but the phone needs to be compatible with the carrier's implementation of the feature - some phones only get this feature on the correct carrier. Wish I knew this ahead of time as I would have loved an unlocked V30+ in blue. V40 here I come.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bologner:
Anyone as of yet been able to confirm Band 71 on an unlocked V30?

EDIT: Based on the most recent filings with the FCC, doesn't look like LG has even applied for it yet. :-/
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
No root yet. The band isn't in the diagnostic menu list to be tested/enabled, and the only other thing that keeps people hopeful is a "t-mobile network mode" option that is listed in US variants (all variants?). As I recall, the package complains of insufficient priveleges when triggered, so it's assumed that it needs root.

Hopefully LG will quit dragging its feet and we'll know one way or the other soon.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pyperkub:
Summing up, it looks like this is a no-go, and the only LG V30's with band 71 600mhz are the carrier locked versions?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Why, do you have a rooted US998 and you've tried to access the T-Mobile network folder?

Do you have a rooted US998 and you've tried to flash T-Mobile radio over it?

Are you a dev and you've created a ROM for the US998 and you're not successful in flashing a zipped T-Mobile radio file?

Why are you making that statement?

We only got US998 root a few days ago and the band 71 thing is the least of our concerns right now.

Getting bootloader unlock, flashing TWRP, setting up the phone takes priority.

My rooted V30 is still not my daily driver until I finish setting things up and getting my apps in place.

I'm still waiting for the V30+ IMEI, plus in afraid LG is going to pull all the code out of the website and I still have a second V30 to root -- but I can't do that until NEXT weekend...

I'm not a dev, but now that we have US998 root, that is something that can be worked on.

I didn't get my own phone bootloader unlocked and rooted until Saturday afternoon. And on Super Bowl Sunday, I didn't mess with it much...

Bottom line, we still don't know yet. Unless you show us what you've tried?

No, I'm thinking of making the purchase, and I had seen that there were root guides and roms available in that section, and all the talk from November was that only the us998 would be unlockable/rootable, at least on T-Mobile, so I did make an assumption that the unlock/root was already done. Thank you for the update, even if it was a bit harsh.

Either

* LG has to add the IMEI range for the US998 V30+ to the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website

OR

* They've already stealth added it (like the US998 V30) -- but we haven't figured out what they're calling it.

US998+, US998U, US998BLK.... We've tried a bunch.

You need bootloader unlock.bin from LG to unlock the bootloader.

The US998 V30 is not OFFICIALLY listed yet, but [MENTION=2865371]gwillmer[/MENTION] discovered if you changed the dropdown menu to say US998, and put in your IMEI and DEVICE ID, BOOM! You got a bootloader unlock.bin file. ;)

T-mobile 600 MHz LTE band 71 on U.S. carrier unlocked LG V30 US998Arrow

Given the current state of affairs, we don't yet know if an unlocked US998 will work with all five of T-Mobile's bands.

So, the question wasn't out of bounds and the answer is along the lines of: right now, only the carrier-locked variant(s) - such as H932 - are known to support band 71. We don't yet know if US998 will do so, unlocked or otherwise (though, the hope is there.)

We know it's missing band 71 on regular US998. That's not the question. We don't need to see "specs" comparison. ;) We know the specs.

You're not understanding the question.

With root you can access a "T-mobile" hidden menu/networking folder on US998 and add band 71. Yes, there's a hidden T-mobile networking menu on US998. What we want to know is does that really work?

This screenshot below was from an UNROOTED US998 using QuickShortcutMaker app:

You could see the folder but could not access it without root. Now we have root.

This is my post from December 2017 back before we got root, but even then we were looking to activate this band 71 on US998.

Since root, one person using T-mobile Sim card on ROOTED US998 says they activated that band using that particular T-mobile hidden menu and received LTE band 71 - - but they provided no proof and no one else has verified that.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, the T-mobile H932 has different RSA encryption from the other North American variants -- which is why it can't be Frankensteined to US998 for WTF bootloader unlock and TWRP installation. And vice versa. You will brick your phone.

There are a few partitions (like LAF) which are not encrypted (EDIT: encryption enforcement relaxed after bootloader unlock) -- and that was important in [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]'s

T-mobile H932 Lafexploit instructions to install TWRP and root

-- but modems are not one of the exceptions.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:
Yep. T-mobile just protecting IP I suppose. But honestly rsa encryption is not that terribly hard to break nowadays. I don't completely understand how the modem partition alone is protected from being flashed, is it itself encrypted or just stores a key pair some where? How is rsa factored into the mix for that partition only, if you don't mind me asking...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You would have to ask a dev that. [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION] is the expert on the T-mobile H932. Others like [MENTION=6815443]JohnFawkes[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] could probably answer the question also. [MENTION=3475147]SGCMarkus[/MENTION] did make a

tool for T-mobile H932 users to be able to run all the "H930" AOSP/Lineage custom ROMs

, like all the other V30 variants.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:
Ok thanks. I read the thread made by the dev for the lafsploit. I owned a H932 several different times, more recently I had one but sent it back and got a v30+ LS998 unlocked for the same price. So have been researching what is out there for this particular device. I probably should not have used the "breaking" so loosely as it is not exactly like making ice cream, but seems T-mobile has gone through great lengths to protect their carrier branding, starting with the G6 (which may have been the proving grounds in some way) I think.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDannemand:
Two ways it's factored in: (1) LGUP won't flash a partition if RSA cert of the KDZ doesn't match the phone. (2) Phone won't boot if partitions have RSA certs not matching those stored on the phone. The latter is relaxed for a few partitions (system, recovery, boot, laf...) when bootloader is unlocked.

That's why it's critical to restore a phone to complete stock before relocking BL. I believe it's a hard brick, otherwise, but not sure.

Qualcomm kindly came up with all this to make your life harder, and make sure only qualified thieves can hack you phone :cowboy:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nate0:
Well QC is much more brilliant than that I am sure ;). This type of hw security is a perfect selling point to ODMs and Carriers and probably one of the many options they try to get them in on.

And now it is clicking for me again. Thanks. It is all part of the boot chain. I forget that all QC based SoC are designed basically the same way.
