I want to trade in my LG Aristo (T-Mob) & need to re-lock the bootloader & reset the phone.
Can I do it without adb?
This method is in a forum post. Would it work for LG Aristo? It's from 2015 & applies to a different brand. I don't know enough to know. If it works, are there any hazards doing it this way?

1. Shut down phone.

2. Reboot into fastboot / bootloader mode (press and hold BOTH volume-down and volume-up, then press power button until you see the fastboot menu (only takes a second or so))

3. Type in"fastboot oem lock"

Other suggestions welcome
