I shall describe what will happen detail what happened with my phone

-10-15 seconds after launching software update on PC, my phone screen turned blank and in a couple of seconds the phone entered the 'Emergency Mode'.
-During this mode the screen was yellow/green with Emergency Mode written along the middle of the screen. Also you can check the progress on your computer in the KDZ updater.

-When the update is finished the KDZ updater will show a message in the log screen itself as =FINISHED=. The phone stays the same way till the Software update procedure finishes on the pc and the phone screen turns off in the end. 

-I waited a while for it to reboot but after a few minutes or so, I manually switched on the phone. 

The phone came alive and following the LG boot animation, the android logo screen came up. 

-The phone takes about 2 or more whole minutes in that state before booting up fully and entering the home screen.
