Hi guys i got the G710N korean version. how can i root and install this rom? do i've to convert to another firmware?

 

[Aseiel]

First Thank You for such great ROM!
I think for now there is no way to root this ROM on korean version. I tried to Install this Rom, next I changed with LGUP only boot_a using partition.dl for flash boot from ULM 11g ROM to unlock fastboot, flashed twrp (after this step I was able to boot stock ROM from slot a) and installed magisk from TWRP to boot_b which is used by LineageOS (select slot b in TWRP) after magisk install bootloop. Tried also flash only boot_b with ULM 11g boot same result.

I think there is problem with booting this with any other boot installed.

You can't keep twrp with lineage you have to Fastboot boot Twrp image and flash magisk zip
