The specs on PhoneArena and some articles I've read mention the G5 having a FM radio. I assume this has been removed by AT&T as it has done on past phones.
I remember in the past being able to install/flash he radio app and getting the functionality back. Is it possible to get FM radio functioning the the G5 or has AT&T disabled it in such a way that even with the proper app installed it still will not work.
Just another reason I think I'll be buying international, unlocked and non-bloatware filled phones in the future.

Tried it last night and it doesn't work on my AT&T G5
Apparently it works with some AT&T handsets but not the G5 currently. I have no idea how this works or why not all phones are supported/enabled.
Exactly, from what I've read LG G5 does have a radio but, is disabled by certain carriers. In our case the at&T has it disabled ... I know I waw bummed out too when I found out
I have an LG G5 (H850TR) and fm radio chip doesnt work on this device. (it has fm chip) I want to know if I install EU stock rom for H850, Is there a possibility of its work? Because there is only one difference between H850 and H850TR, its about Fm radio. Thanks....

At the LG G5 H850K (Australia) with H85010c_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0415, the FM radio does work without a problem.
I had the international G5, now I have the AT&T model, neither have FM radio.

We can buy it at shop in Asia already (Thailand) Blue colour 4Gb Ram/128Gb Rom, cost about (20,000 Thai Baht). The normal 64Gb Rom/4Gb ram cost (14,500 Thai Baht). They come with the Dac I think.
You can buy it in HKG or Singapur too, but it's different model than one on YouTube. The Korean guy shows Korean LGM-G600SP. The Asia LG-H870DSU has no wireless charging and B&O headphones.

You are correct that not all LG G6 Plus models have Qi wireless charging. I would want Qi wireless charging. I won't buy a phone without it.
These are the South Korean market models (below) with Qi wireless charging. Here's the Qi wireless database search results that prove it. You can also search on the LG South Korean website for those model numbers and use Google Translate to look at the specs.
LGM-G600KP
LGM-G600SP
LGM-G600LP
Problem is the "official" specs do not show all the LTE bands these phones really get. So, it's a leap of faith to buy if you live in the U.S., for instance.
I know, because of people here in the U.S. who bought the Korean regular G6 (not the G6+) and who the models for those South Korean carriers (KP, SP, LP) DO actually get all the AT&T and T-mobile bands -- but just don't show it on the LG Korean website official specs.
Also, I don't want to buy phones I can't root, so I would have to wait until I KNEW I could root one of these LG South Korean market phones.
There's no official bootloader unlock for any of the LG G6 Plus models (yet).
There's also the LG H870U, an LG G6 Plus coming to Europe and other countries. THIS website below says it has Qi wireless charging but I think that's just wishful thinking -- since it's not listed in the Qi devices database I linked in the post above.
LG H870U

However, if true, I would gladly buy it, as the European versions of the LG G6 can be bootloader unlocked, yes?
Hi guys, I have blue LG G6+ H870DSU http://www.lg.com/hk_en/mobile-phone/lg-H870DSU-Blue-128GB and it has B&O headphones, FM radio and quad DAC audio but doesn't has useless Qi wireless charging. Quick charging only works with AC/DC charger, through USB it takes 6h to fully battery recharge. Korean version has DMB-T TV, Qi wireless charging but no FM radio. If you have questions about my phone H870DSU just ask.

Hmmm, this is new to me. Can you specify which Korean G6 has all the T-Mobile bands in your experience? I want a G6 with the hiFi DAC, but I also need the TMobile bands.
Do these models have bootloader's that can be unlocked? I NEED to have root also.

Amazon has an LG G6 plus model with lockscreen ads. Works perfectly on Ting Wireless with GSM sim, so I bet it would work on T-mobile. Model: LGUS997U.
There is an option to unlock the bootloader in developer options, would this allow you to flash a new ROM?

Here's the LTE bands from any of the three South Korean carriers' LG G6 from a member here on XDA. The V30 Plus should be the same. You can go into the Engineering menu and see them. IF they are not already enabled (but they should be), you can checkmark the box to enable them. The only T-mobile bands the South Korean LG G6 models do not have are the newer LTE band 66 and very newest LTE band 71. In fact, only the T-mobile LG V30 has LTE band 71. (It's possible the LG G6 Plus may have LTE band 66 since it was released MONTHS later, but we know it doesn't have LTE band 71.)

NO, these bootloaders cannot be unlocked, at least officially and no one has published a bootloader unlock and root publicly (yet). The only LG G6 bootloaders that can be unlocked and phones rooted are the "open market" LG G6 for North America and Europe. None of the "G6 Plus" are on the official bootloader unlock list. (For 2017, LG has removed most of the ADB commands from their carrier flagship phones, so that even if you unlock the bootloader, it's very difficult for most people to root or install custom recovery.)
Also, none of the "open market" LG G6 have quad DAC or the increased internal storage. This was the reason I didn't buy the LG G6, due to LG's STUPID regionalized specs scheme. It was a great phone on paper -- but LG cut that paper into pieces and shipped it to countries all over the world. You could NOT buy an LG G6 with ALL the specs.
Then the LG G6 Plus (South Korean edition) -- released MONTHS later in mid-2017 -- was the phone LG should have released in the first place in early 2017. It FINALLY had all the specs in one phone (Qi wireless, quad DAC, more storage) -- but LG wouldn't place it on the LG Bootloader Unlock List. And LG wonders why they are trailing Samsung? Idiotic moves like that is why.

If you need root and quad DAC, I would really suggest the "open market" LG V30 for North America. It will be released first week of December (sold by LG directly, and authorized 3rd party retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo and Best Buy) and soon after that will be placed on the LG Bootloader Unlock list. It will quickly get root, TWRP, ROMs, kernels.
It's the OFFICIAL CARRIER UNLOCKED VERSION: LGUS998.AUSASV. Do NOT confuse it with the U.S. Cellular version which has a similar model name. The U.S. Cellular version is sold by a carrier and will NOT qualify for LG's bootloader unlock.
We know the LGUS998 has all the North American CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE bands of the major carriers, with the probable exception of LTE band 71. We're hoping LG will add it to the model via an FCC addendum or that it can be enabled after the phone is rooted, possibly by flashing T-mobile radio. But that's a question for a dev after we get root.
That's the V30 model I am waiting for.
B&H has the US version of the G6+ on sale for $200 off.
Does anyone know if this model fully supports T-Mobile including Band 12 ?
Also, whether the G6 bootloader unlock indicated on LG bootloader unlock list ("US997.USA for the US open market") also works for this US version of the G6+ ?
B&H model number comparisons of the two US models::
G6: LGUS997.AUSABK
G6+ : LGUS997U.AUSABK
TIA...

Is the G6 "AUSABK" definitely the officially unlockable one?
Currently, there appear to be two variants of the LG G5 RS988: USA unlocked version and a "Brightpoint" version.
Are these variants actually different in hardware?
What exactly makes the devices different? Different bootloaders and/or modem firmware perhaps?
From my research, I found that people with LG G5 RS988 USA Unlocked models that have flashed LG G5 RS988 Brightpint Nougat firmware experienced problems maintaining LTE connections, but could not find information with regards to how the devices are truly different.
The purpose of this thread is to try to determine what exactly makes the variants different and ways to identify if a device is of a particular RS988 variant.
Comments and questions are welcome.
I don't think there are any hardware differences. An RS988 is an RS988. My guess is that different frequency bands are turned on/off for the different variants. FWIW, I'm on Total Wireless (which has the same coverage as Verizon) and I don't see any differences with the Brightpoint firmware. I think only the GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile) are affected.
I have also found that LG repaired LG G5 RS988 USA Unlocked devices, for which the device main board has been replaced may be identified as the Brightpoint version when trying to request the "unlock.bin" file from LG for bootloader unlock. Presumably, this happens because LG may refurbish the RS988 USA Unlocked devices using parts from what was or were once Brightpoint variants.
Based on seraching for Birghtpoint, it seems that they are (were) a distributer of mobile devices. Their name apear mostly in connection with Best Buy. I purchased2 LG G5 RS988 from Best Buy, and I believe they are both running the Brightpoint ROM (7.0 RS98810h). IT seems like the bestbuy/brightpoint variants of the RS988 (LGRS988Z.ABPTTN or LGRS988.ABPTTN not sure) is defferent than the USA Unlocked versions (LGRS988.AUSATN).
I have LG G5 H820 unlocked and currently i m staying in India but I m not getting volte option. So is there any work around for this?
