I think I bricked my G3 :/
I tried usual methods but couldn't get into recovery or download mode, then a few days ago I realized I could get it into this fastboot mode by holding volume up and plugging into USB as you would normally do to get into download mode but you have to hold up for a minute or so (it shows the download mode icon for a few seconds and then goes to fastboot) when in fastboot it connects to the computer and shows in device manager as "android device" and the phone says "processing commands" So I tried to follow this guide http://ift.tt/1pSMrgJ to return it to stock, but I couldn't get it to show up in the LG software.
I read some forum posts about fastboot mode and found that by using the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (the recovery image I downloaded) in command prompt it would send it to the phone and the phone would display some info and then reboot into TWRP, from here I tried to install a correct rom but the installation starts and there are some errors and then it hangs. I also tried the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" but it fails. This is as far as I have got with it.
It came to me in this condition but the previous owner said he was running Cyanogen and it was working fine until he tried to update it with a nightly build. I suspect he might've tried to install the wrong rom for the phone or the rom was corrupt.
