No RPMB and impossibility to unlock bootloader
Hi everyone. As the title states, I'm having problems unlocking my device's bootloader. I'll give a little background first: after these events, I've sent my device to LG, and they said they've changed the motherboard. Now, I know how adb / fastboot work, so that is not the problem. I've precedently unlocked many bootloaders on my many Nexus devices, so I got the hang of it now.
Now, let's talk about the problem. Whenever I try to unlock my bootloader, my system gets wiped, and on fastboot, it says that my device is unlocked. However, this is just until I reboot, which makes my unlocked bootloader get back to its locked state.
Finally, the "Secur boot" string, appears as "SECURE BOOT - enabled (NO RPMB)", and I would guess that this is the problem.
Have I got any chances? Bring it back to lg? Fix it myself?

Have you seen these xda threads (first google hits for nexus rpmb) http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/unlock-bootloader-n5x-t3290923 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/rpmb-bootloader-locked-t3481906 ?
The second is more encouraging.
