Hi all,
Today I tried to root my LG G5 H830 but with an older method for Marshmallow(in the video i was watching the version wasn't even specified so I was unaware and I believed that the version of the phone did not really matter). I proceeded to follow this man's instructions @: "How to Root T-Mobile LG G5!" by "Max Lee" on Youtube(as a new user i cannot post links ) I unlocked my bootloader, got drivers and followed his instructions up onto an error on LGUP. Basically the error's purpose was to tell me that Nougat is not supported. So I had no choice but to reboot my phone and go through the android initializing setup.
After realizing the error of my ways I then found this post here via Google Search: "Install TWRP Recovery and Root LG G5 on Android Nougat | DroidViews" to install TWRP. Now my bootloader is unlocked and I have no root. The only problem here is that whenever I go into developer options and try to toggle 'OEM unlock' on it won't let me. The OEM unlock setting is grey-ed out and I am unable to toggle it!! This is what I need help with! Although my bootloader is very much infact unlocked I think some error occurred to where now I cant toggle my OEM unlock thus I am unable to flash a TWRP recovery via fastboot!
If I reboot into my bootloader and run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" i get this:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (18668 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.419s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.435s
I even ignored the error and tried to boot into recovery manually and i just get the stock recovery.
Please help me guys

Hi, all.
I was messing around with Android Tweaker 2, zipaligning my apps, performing vague system tweaks and the like, when I rebooted my phone for the changes to take effect; however, the phone booted up, finished the booting animation, and where the home screen should be showing up only showed a black screen. From there I can only reboot again, reboot into STOCK recovery, or reboot into fastboot, which has limited function in an Asus device (inability to flash unsigned custom recovery images, inability to flash rom images, stock firmware images are unavailable ANYWHERE, etc.) My device WAS rooted, however, I did a factory reset from the stock recovery in hopes that the problem would be resolved, so I'm not sure if root access was retained. I've tried a lot of things, but what I need is access to adb to push some files, or just figure out what the hell happened to the device.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Details:
Asus Padfone X [4.4.2 stock rom]
WAS rooted
LOCKED bootloader
STOCK recovery
Fastboot is basically useless, given the "safeguards" Asus has implemented
Read the CM12.1 for instructions on unlocking bootloader , there are instructions on booting from custom recovery using fastboot from there you can adb push the files to your phone as posted in the Nandroid Stock backup thread and install using TWRP.

Thanks for the advice.
I have consulted the CM12.1 thread, and I see the instructions, the first step of which is to "boot into CWM, CMRecovery, or TWRP." However, I do not have any of these custom recoveries flashed on my Padfone X. Is there a way I can boot custom recovery off an external microsd or something?
Note: upon attempting the "fastboot flash recovery CMrecovery.img" command, the cmd window returns the following:
Code:
target reported max download size of 1879048192 bytes
sending 'recovery' <11220 KB>...
OKAY [ 0.438s ]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED <remote: can't flash unsigned image>
finished. total time: 0.444s
EDIT: Problem has been resolved, used
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and restored stock.

Glad I was able to point you into the right direction.
So straight to it, when I am trying to flash twrp recovery img with adb I keep getting failed (remote:unknown command) .
Process I have done;
Turned on oem unlock and debugging in developer otions
Unlocked boot loader via adb with fastboot oem unlock
Rebooted and got corruption msg but thats due to bootloader unlock
Put twrp in adb folder
Rebooted into fastboot
attempted to flash twrp recovery img via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then thats when I get my error as follows;
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (19412 kb) ...
okay [0.443s]
writing 'recovery' ...
failed (remote: unkown command)
finished. total time: 0.469s
Did I miss a step? I was reading something about a "fake" bootloader unlock besides h850?? I did achieve root with a tot file and lg up that did have already twrp baked in, but I need to get a stock rom so I can go ahead and switch between root and non root, cause I use an application for work that doesn't like root
i know this is an old post but i'm having the same issue. is it not possible to flash recovery with latest firmware?
same
I am trying to flash twrp or any custom recovery image so that I could root my LGv10, I am running Android 6.0.
When I boot my phone into fastboot mode I dont get the fastboot options just the options to exit or restart. However I still can run commands through adb, I try running the command to flash the custom image and I keep getting this.
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (5158 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.160s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.185s
If I try to start up in recovery mode I get an android with a red error triangle, preventing me from rooting. Is there anyway I can fix this? any help will be appreciated as I've looked already and cannot seem to find a fix to this problem.
Hi, which model of the V10 do you own?
Please note that bootloader unlock and installation of a custom recovery is only officially supported on the T-Mobile Version of the V10 and the European V10 with the model number H960A. On the H960A you need to unlock your bootloader first. Otherwise flasing recovery fails.

Thanks for the reply!
My LGv10 is the T-Mobile version, model number LG-H901. I'm running Marshmallow 6.0, My bootloader is unlocked I'm still getting the same problem.
Not sure what to try anymore
Same exact issue I have. Don't know what else to do.
I was getting that yesterday, though I found another method that seems to have worked, only issue with that one is that whenever I try I flash a ROM, it fails with error 7.
https://dottech.org/198032/how-to-root-lg-v10-t-mobile-h901-on-android-6-0-marshmallow/
This was the method I used, though I didn't do it properly since I couldn't figure out what to do with the kdz file. But I do have TWRP recovery installed to my phone now.

What about locking the bootloader again and unlocking it after that with the newer video you used?
