Help I'm trying to root and upgrade my LG GPad 8

[counterfactual]

I appear to be stuck at the same place as @BroIjustwannaroot in trying to root and upgrade my LG GPad 8.

I am able to send the recovery, but not write it.

Sending 'recovery' (15366 KB)                      OKAY [  0.487s]
Writing 'recovery'                                 FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

@James L Here's the output from `fastboot getvar all`

@counterfactual what is your exact model name of your device? where are you getting the instructions on how to root it? do you have a link?

try this guide instead(i think this is your device):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-v521-lg-gpad-x-8-0-to-7-0-and-root.3533338/

if this is not your device, DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDE as rooting is very device specific and doing something that was not made specific to your device could brick the phone.
