Root [International] Please help! LG G2 bricked. Tried everything!

It won't turn the screen on, but when plugged into PC it should show up as QDLoader 9008 in device manager. If it only show up as qhsusb_bulk, then right click and update driver on that, using the Qualcomm Drivers I linked a few posts ago as the target. After that it should specify 9006 or 9008.
 
No they are different. 9006 is true bulk mode where you'll see a bunch of "drives" show up in Windows (actually the phones partitions) and 9008 is QHDLoader mode. The fixes are different for both. Most phones end up in 9008 since Lollipop.
 
i try but im back in the fastboot :/

Something didn't work right with the shorting then. Did you have the battery ribbon cable disconnected at the time you shorted it? Also, it may not tell you this but you need to leave that ribbon cable disconnected the entire time you're doing the procedure (assuming 9008).
 
what should i do ? can i somehow bring the phone i download mod with other tutorial or can i somehow flash a rom in fastboot ?
 
when i will need to short the capacitors, the phone will need to be connected with the pc or i will need to remove the battery and the usb cable?
 
i try like this, remove the battery then i try to short the capacitors, and then i connect the phone in the pc ... and noting show up in the device menager
 
With battery cable disconnected, plug phone into USB of computer, then short capacitors. You want to place wire on that very small cluster of 3 dots on far right lower corner of the chip.
 
Yeah hopefully the 9008 fix will go smoothly now. While running those diag tests, it should apply some of the .img's from your tot...enough to restore download mode afterward.
 
bro when i will finish instaling the tot file, then i will need to back all parts of the phone together, and try to go to download mode ?
 

Did you install those Qualcomm drivers I linked earlier? I don't know why its doing that actually. If so else fails, perhaps try changing the com port of the device in device manager. Try using com41. Then change the com setting in the software to match. To change in device manager, right click, settings, advanced or something similar until you find the com port setting. I can't remember exactly but that will get you close and you can figure out the rest by deductive reasoning. I'm mobile ATM.
 
it is same again ... now i got brick in qualcomm 9006 i follow this tutorial
but when i put the battery back and hold volume up and put the usb cable i get again in fastboot mode :(
