Which phone? Asking for help with zero info on what you're using and what you've done isn't likely to illicit much.
Just do a full reset (from power on) and then flash stock kdz.

l send my phone to LG service 2 day ago and they contact me today....bad news: my phone can not boot to the end and can't be recognized by any device(original LG tools and cables etc.) to be repaired.l have to send it back...... where the phone was purchased(Singapore)

I feel bad for you but hope you've learn a lesson, read more and more and more before doing anything to your phone. If you don't know or not sure or unclear, don't go for it yet.
Anyway, still under warranty?

No warranty...and believe me that l always read before making something wrong with my phones...bad luck....my last hope it could be jtag solution but is expensive..

To switch off your phone. Hold the power button about 10 second. you will see screen completely black, or unplug your battery.
To do hardware reset for F320L. Press and hold power+ volume-, when LG logo appear release power button only and press power again. You can see Hard reset mode.
After that, if your phone still not reboot. Try to flash KDZ or TOT in download mode.
To access download mode : Press volume- and plug your phone to PC
If you can not access download mode. plug your phone to computer and check what driver you have in device manager. If you got only Qusb-Bulk. Its bricked completely.
If you plug your phone to Windows and got a lot of message come up to format it. press cancel and don't format it. then follow :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

when l'm using VRoot app ad ex....this app recognized my device lg g2 f320L , but the software is from F320s..so this avoid warranty...solution is to change the motherboard...but it is 250 fuc''g euros

Can you use adb to push file into /system folder ?
This is the only way to replace your build.prop file to change F320s to F320L

Well I am a bit confused... mostly because this isn't so clear...
When you hold power button it reboots, but if you continue to hold it, it will shut itself down.
It's this way on LG G2 D802 and should be the same on yours.
When it's shut down, hold volume down and then power, when you see the LG Logo release the buttons and hold again volume down and power button. This should get you to recovery...
Try it like this?
I play around with my G2 alot and I have had the LG logo issue several times.
I use PhilZ Touch Recovery and TWRP to backup valuable files.
PhilZ Recovery with AROMA File Manager and if that isn't set up I use TWRP Recovery.
You need a USB OTG connector for this...

Try this for getting to download mode it worked for me:
1.) don't push any buttons, just plug phone into computer using usb cable
2.) push and hold power button + volume up button
3.) do not let go when you see LG logo, continue holding
4.) after a few seconds you should be in download mode

I was running cloudy g3 rom and then i installed a Kernel. O reboot my phone and only says fastboot mode started and udc(0) i need atleast to save photos . I cant access recovery , help please

@wazowpt can you still enter downloadmode?

Sorry for late response i was answering an pm First follow that download mode thing, I will later post the fastboot way if download mode doesn't work for your own safety cause fastboot is also dangerous :good: If you can't enter download mode at once, Try it several times.
Download the LG usb drivers if you haven't done that yet,
Since you probably aren't gonna use the android SDK but only to use fastboot/adb download this:

To enter download mode:
How to Enter Download Mode on LG G2 (STEP BY STEP GUIDE).
1.Turn off the smartphone before beginning the step by step guide. For making this press power button from your device and then select “power off”.
2.Now, press the volume up on the device.
3.While the volume up button is holding, take the USB cable and plug in the device.
4.Now, keep the Volume up button pressed until the Download Mode is being to be displayed.
If it shows download mode read through this guide and then you can fix it without fastboot:laugh: also read through the other steps while doing it.
If you already had installed the LG usb drivers then you can skip step5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
5.Now, the device will start to install some drivers, and for this action it will take around 10 minutes to complete. So, you need only to wait and to let the device to install the suitable drivers.
6.Important, when you’ll update the LG G2 device by using the Download Mode, do not remove the USB cord while the installation process is in progress as you can end up the process by bricking the device.
7.Next, you can return to the LG G2 Android OS by pressing the power button.
8.Keep pressing the power button until the LG logo will be displayed.
9.Now, you can safety disconnect the USB cable.

So i can solve this problem this simple.? I thought I was gonna have to send it to repair. Thanks I will try this later when I'm on pc. Will post updates

I have the same problem, no download mode on my G2 (European version, stock kitkat without root, bought it a week ago).
Just to be safe, the way I tried to launch it into download mode was:
1. Powering off the device.
2. Holding the volume up button.
3. Plugging in the USB cable (while still holding the volume up button)
The LG logo shows up for a while, after which the charging animation shows ups...

Your phone must be turned off
So, press power button and select “power off”.
Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2.
While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone’s USB cable.
Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed.
that is the known method for G2 unless you flashed a custom boot-loader or changed the keys to enter download mode or recovery etc .... now try to enter a hard reset mode but don't apply it or all your data will be gone i say again don't approve it it is power+Vol down
if it works i think the keys combination are still in default then try to enter download mode again
if it didn't work return the mobile to be fixed or changed

Thanks for your reply!
The method you described is the same as the one I used, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery either...
I believe this reddit post describes my problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/2n4gqa/unrooted_lg_g2_on_stock_android_442_kitkat_will/
The OP's conclusion is:
So I rooted and installed AutoRec and that got me Download Mode. Afterwards I used LG Flash Tool to flash the stock KDZ file onto my device to unroot it and to see if Download Mode is still enabled which it was not.
I believe this is LG's way of preventing users from upgrading to unofficial/unreleased firmware.

I managed to fix the issue by performing an emergency recovery using LG software. It must have been caused by one of the OTA updates.

LG Magna booting problem

Hello everyone,
My problem is as follows:
My Magna is on bootloop.. I only see the LG logo for few seconds then black and repeat.
I tried the hard reset (holding volume down and power... etc) and when i choose yes to reset factory settings nothing happens and it goes back to bootloop.
I tried flashing but my laptop won't recognize the phone and therefore i can't complete the steps.
Safe Mode, Download Mode, and every other thing DOES NOT work. Holding volume down and connecting to the PC does nothing.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?

Have you tried to get into download mode this way?
Plug usb cable into phone and a PC. Hold power until it shuts off - release power, hold up. Repeat until you're in download mode.
