FAILED (remote: unknown command) on LG G7 Thinq (bootloader)

[AnonymousBallz]

I want to unlock my bootloader for custom ROMS and rooting but ran into some problems during the process.

When I run "fastboot oem unlock" and some other variations of the command, it gives the error "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" and I've tried several things to fix it.

I already tried using the official SDK Platform Tools newest and older versions, and Minimal_ADB_Fastboot_v1.4.3.

I've also tried switching from Windows 10 to a Windows 7 VM but that didn't help.

In case anyone thinks it is, I can tell you right now it is NOT a T-Mobile variant.



I used this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cept-t-mo-via-edl-mode-easier-method.4077105/ (and got stuck on the oem unlock part of course)

can you post a screenshot of your fastboot command?

Using SDK or Minimal ADB?

either really just want to see how you direct your commands. it needs to be in the correct folder or fastboot commands will not work.

also enter the fastboot command "fastboot devices" just to see if fastboot sees your device or not.

have you tried this?
from the guide:

Enter: Fastboot oem unlock it should output with OKAY, If it gives you unknown command, try a USB 2.0 port and then turn off your phone and while its booting up enter the command before you boot into fastboot. Once thats done dont close the window yet!!

I believe I have a variant of the G710. I’m pretty sure everyone that has a G7 has . Anyways the model I have is at the bottom of the “getvar”.

Edit: I tried it, no dice.
