Root [International] Help needed. Bricked LG G2, when google didn't help!

If you can see the drives, then it does seem to be 9006. If you are losing bulk when you plug the battery ribbon cable back in and switch to Linux, try leaving the battery connection unplugged and see if that helps. Otherwise you can write the knoppix iso to a memory stick and change the boot order in your PC's bios settings so USB is the first boot item. Some VM's have issues recognizing the partitions. There's a 'easy as 123' tool for writing iso to memory stick at pendrivelinux website.

ill try it 10x alot.
ihave a ?
if i can mange to get to cwm can i flash tot file or custem rom from my win ?
what kint of vm can i use that u know that works?
 
You cannot flash tot from recovery. You could potentially flash a custom rom although at this point, I'd be concerned about whether you have complete matching partitions. If not, it likely won't boot. The other thing you can do from custom recovery though, if root still exists, is dd write the partitions from an adb shell after adb pushing all img's to sdcard...

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

Etc, etc for all partitions. I don't know what VM's have worked best as I don't use them much.

Etc, etc for all 7 partitions. Then run the 7 dd commands. Then unplug phone, long press power for 15-20 seconds to turn off phone. Then enter download mode.

I prefer Linux for writing dd commands. I believe there is a program to add the functionality to Windows but I've never tried or used it.

You might give this a look for dd functionality. I have no experience with it so can't help much aside from the link. I Think the way it works is you add the img's into the dd folder, change directory to that folder and issue the commands. Not positive.
