Rooting the LG V30 isn’t very simple, however. It’s a bit of an involved processed with a lot of steps, but we’re going to walk you through the entire process from start to finish. This guide involves flashing something that will unlock your bootloader – which will hard reset your device and wipe all of your data, so please backup all of your data and read through this entire guide before proceeding.

Requirements:

TWRP-3.1.1-0-h930.img or US998 TWRP unofficial alpha (they’re nearly identical except for a properties file change)Android Development Tools installed on your PCMagisk-v15.3.zipno-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip(Optional)LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip

Make sure you back up everything (a full Nandroid backup is best).

If running Android Studio or Helium Desktop, shut it down. Otherwise you may see ADB version issues. Side-note: Don’t trust Helium to let you restore your data. Look for “Helium ceases to recognize backups” at https://github.com/koush/support-wiki/wiki/Helium-Wiki – It’s simply the wrong tool for this job. Before you begin, copy the following files to your External SD Card. Otherwise you’ll have to do it later or attempt an ADB sideload:

Magisk-v15.3.zipno-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip(Optional)LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip

You can verify that it’s unlocked either from the Developer Options – OEM Unlock is no longer available because it’s already unlocked.

Please read this entire next part before continuing:

Wipe Data – Factory ResetWipe Data – Format PartitionInstall – set storage to the External SDInstall the Magisk zipInstall the no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zipInstall the LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip; this reduces LG root checks, which may impede performance.Reboot – to System

If booting fails with an encryption error, did you format (b above) the partition? If not, reinstall TWRP (except you don’t need to backup again) and do both the wipe and format.
