Referenced YouTube How Tos:

However this only worked when I added these directions to install the fastboot driver, if you get <waiting for devices> at fastboot step, then follow steps here to get fastboot driver! http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/3/

I had to do extra steps, especially as related to fastboot drivers, if u have a previous adb sdk or ever rooted b4 you may need to do 1 or a few of the extra steps I had to do:

  1. a) pull battery out, and put it back in to make sure phone is completely powered off
    b) Press and hold volume down + power button, as soon as phone lights up and shows LG logo release power button for just one second and press again untill you see a hardreset screen
    c) on hard reset screen press vol - button on yes and press power button to select yes and do it again on next screen, it will lead you to TWRP Recovery
