I keep seeing different listings of the Hi-Fi module on eBay, can anyone confirm is these are legit or fake? Would they work with the US version of the G5 even though they're made for the international version?
won't work dude. give up
There are two modules out so far, the AFD-1210 which is for the Korean variant of the phone and the AFD-1200 that works with the H850. Unfortunately if you have the US version, you are still SOL.

I have the same version, but still there is no root for H860.
I read in a forum somewhere that there is + $1200 as a bounty for whoever figure out how to root the g5 in general.

When purchasing my LG G4, I researched the LG G3 and saw the support. If you guys looked up the LG G4 prior to buying the G5 you would realize that there will be nothing or very little support for the device as the only 1 version have an unlocked bootloader. The others will never get it. This phone will turn out worse than the LG G4 which was extremely bad.
HI,
Is the LG G5 H860 is impacted by QuadRooter as it's not yet rooted?
Bye,
Proc.
I wish I saw this thread before I bought mine, LOL! I'm sure we'll get root eventually though.
Our variant h860 is it a US one (Verizon, Sprint) or a Taiwanese variant or something else ?

The H860 is SE Asia I believe.

agreed!!
The LG G5 is a really great smartphone, coming from a Note 5, I can say that it's the best phone that I ever used .
However, using a phone that its manufacturer is locking its bootloader makes me nervous ! The disability to root my device makes me uncomfortable ...
Has anyone tried using the H860N technique shown in this video (below) on their H860?

Not compatible bro. Also this guy has an old samsung in his video...
I was thinking about switching to LG5, but I'm glad I visited this forum for info before doing so. I guess I will just continue my quest. Thank you all.

Has anyone developed a root method for LG G5 H860 yet? I tried KingRoot, Stumproot and OneClickRoot but to no avail... even tried unlocking the bootloader via LG Developer site but it is no supported... please help.
I'm planning to buy my new phone since my Lg g4 occurred a boot loop issue recently. I purchased a Huawei honor 5x and I'm not satisfied, (LG g4 is far more superior than honor 5x sorry) and planning to upgrade to G5. I saw a deal on B&H, LG G5 Rs988(North american variant unlocked) with charging cradle, extra battery and $50 B&H gift certificate for only $399. Then last night, I saw a new deal from B&H which is LG G5 H820 (At&t variant unlocked) for only $339. What should i get, The h820 or the rs988? Do these variants received a nougnat update with no issues? Just disregard the bundle i really don't care with the bundle. I just want to have a phone no problem at all (in terms of LTE and gps since image retention can be fix). And I'm planning to use T-Mobile sim card for my new phone and I'm hearing some issues that their LTE doesn't work. Please help me on choosing between H820 (At&t variant unlocked) and Rs988 (north american variant unlocked). And i'm from California if this is needed. Thank you so much!

I have owned the RS988 first then swapped to the H820 as LTE was a nightmare to get working on AT&T using the RS988, plus the H820 has Wifi calling and one other thing I forgot that made the jump worth it for me. H820 does have AT&T bloatware on it, but it's manageable. Neither model has root or Android Nougat yet. Neither work with the B&O Hi-Fi DAC module, nor have FM radio. I can't talk about T-Mobile working or not. Those are my experiences for you!

thanks for the reply! i already bought the rs988 from b&h since they have a deal $449 with free battery cradle, extra battery, lg cam plus, lg 360 vr and free expedited shipping. so i grabbed it. i dont really use the wifi cqlling but that is a big plus. but i saw that all frequency of tmobile is supported by rs988 so i hope there will be no problem in Lte haha. i hope LG provide a nougnat update for both h820 and rs988. thanks a lot!

I've purchased lg h860
Want 32bit audio dac for lg g5
Where I can buy it in India?
Plz anyone help
the charging port is loose, and I know all my USB C cables are good. Can I replace the bottom with ANY model bottom chin, or it needs to be an H820 like mine is? I want an OEM part, not a knockoff part.
can someone please answer so I know whether to spend 60 bucks on ebay? thanks!!
The chin is a "generic" part of the G5, so yes you can use chins from other G5 models.

I tried the international version chin, and it did not work; it said on the screen "plug in a compatible module." FYI
I have purchased several chins that claim to be compatible with all versions, but they do not work. Does anybody know a way to tell the difference between different chins?
On similar note is there a way arround the issue?

If you look closely there are yellow markings that said
"NA" American Versions
"GL" Global
"SKT" "KR" Korean
"NA"*front *AT&T_XX"from the back of the module: At&t, XX is some random numbers
Also : GET THE RIGHT VERSION IF YOU WANT YOUR CELLPHONE SIGNAL TO REMAIN GOOD. Probably different variants have different antenna frames in the module soo be careful
I have LG g5 ls992 model, I changed with lg g5 h830 motherboard, now I am finding a compatable model module for this. Anyone can help me to find? . No module is not compatable with this board now. Why?
