I had the very same problem as OP. I tried to install pie with LGUP (G710EM20b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0508.kdz) but ended in fastboot loop.
After whole night of trying different things (being a noob means less sleep) I managed to run the phone in download mode. Starting from there I was able to install my previous rom. Both failed update and rescue operations were done on Win 10.
What I tried and
didn't work:
- Fastboot --set-active=a
Code:
C:\ADB>Fastboot --set-active=a
Setting current slot to 'a'...
FAILED (remote: Slot Change is not allowed in Lock State)
finished. total time: 0.003s
- Unlocking with unlock.bin. Didn't save the msg but saw it somewhere in another thread. I needed to install/point drivers first because the device was not recognized in Win.
- Solutions for G6 for going into download mode. The download mode icon was displayed for a second and then going to fastboot again.
- LG Flash Tool 2014 - I just followed a guide for older phones but it didn't work. Didn't try again.
What
did work:
1. I found this post on reddit (remove spaces or PM me, I'm not allowed to post links):

Quoting the post
2. I used LG_Firmware_Extract_v1.2.6.1 and extracted dz file from aforementioned pie file. The I extracted two laf files for the kz file. In my case they were: laf.img_180534 and laf.img_81990.
3. I took one of these files (sry, don't remember which one, but they have the same size - didn't check if they're the same) renamed it to laf.img and put a folder where fastboot.exe is.
4. I did
and voila: the phone was in download mode!
5. After that LGUP the previous rom and the phone is working again. Here I needed few tries. At first the were some problems, then I tried different combinations (1.14, 1.15, w/ and w/o uppercut). I think LGUP 1.15 (1.14 with patch) did the work. I was able to "refurbish" the phone.
Hope it's useful for others. If anyone could prepare a guide from this description or/and tell why it worked - please feel free to do so.
I think I will wait some time before trying pie again
