Commands from Part 2:
1. runmefirst.bat. Leave this window open.
2. step1.bat. Leave this window open also.
3. (on the device itself) id
4. (on the device itself) applypatch /system/bin/atd /storage/emulated/0/dirtysanta
5. step2.bat
(all scripts should terminate after step2.bat is finished)

Commands from Part 3:
1. step3.bat
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot flash boot bootbackup.img
4. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img
5. fastboot flash boot bootbackup.img
(6 and 7 must be done at the same time)
6. fastboot reboot
7. (on the device) Hold volume down and power button until LG emblem appears. Once it does, do not let go of volume-down, but let go of power for about a half a second, and then go back to holding it until the white screen comes up asking for a hard reset. Let go of all buttons when this happens.

Recommended Screen Calibration Profile:
Red - 256
Green - 241
Blue - 226
Minimum - 0
Saturation - 12
Value - 128
Contrast - 128
Hue - 0

Corrections:
1. On official bootloader unlocks. LG's website for official bootloader unlocks is slated to become unavailable after the end of 2021. Once that happens, this will become the only method for unlocking the bootloader on the US996 model.

2. In part 5, I mentioned that the MK2000 kernel causes issues for encryption. It is my understanding now that it is actually the rom, and not the kernel, that causes this. Either way, it still doesn't work.
