On the second try it worked perfectly.
Then after the last step reflashing boot_twrp, I decided to "fastboot oem lock" the device because I thought that the "unlocked bootloader... ?" on boot message would disappear.
Turns out I messed up pretty bad, as now I'm unable to boot the device because of "Your device has failed a routine safety check and will not boot" and I'm unable to "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" because the "OEM .." option in the android developer options is disabled.
I think if I somehow manage to obtain my regions kdz file from LG and then make a firmware update with LGUP it should boot again as the firmware signature is correct and then I can start over again.
Any advice is appreciated.
