Ok, I was following a guide on how to cross flash the LG G8x .kdz file to get Android 11. (the G8x AT&T variant refused to update).
I followed all of the instruction, but while using LGUP, I got a weird error code that I could not find information on anywhere. Now my phone is in a fastboot bootloop, and the bootloader is listed as locked.

Is there any way to get into EDL mode? I have a number of files I could restore using QFIL, but cant get into it from the bootloop.

Are test points an option? if so, which are the test points I need to use?

Any help or advice is welcome, I'm able to take the back glass off if I really need to although I would really prefer not to.

Thanks in Advance!

Hey, I have a G8x , I faced the same problem, all I did to fix it was to boot into edl mode by hitting start on fastboot and pressing the edl button combination with your phone being connected to PC i.e hold down power & volume down and keep pressing the volume up as soon as the screen turns black
