Help LG G2 bootloops and cannot be detected anymore

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I was trying to flash lollipop on my LG G2 and I messed it up. My phone was showing as multiple unformatted disks. Then I found someone with the same problem here and a link to some further guidance on xda. I did everything on the guide, went into linux , flashed sbl1.img, aboot.img, rpm.img, tz.img, but when I tried to flash the recovery file it would come up with a message saying that either the file or directory does not exist. I checked the directory just in case, but it was correct one. Then I thought I should try turning my phone on. Now the phone has stuck on lg logo and it boot loops. Also, it won't be recognised by the pc, not even as unformatted disks, nothing. Do you have any suggestions? Is it reversible?

PS My phone is quite important for my job cause I use it to create some learning material for my students. Any piece of advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

This is what I would do;
If you can get into download mode,I would go back to stock firmware and start over.
I know its a lot of work.
This will put the original firmware on your phone and after your done.

Be sure to use the proper variant and remove your sim card before flashing back to stock as it will wipe it clean,Then put your sim card in after you flash the firmware.
Click to expand...

Try this
 
Long press power for 15 seconds to turn off then plug into PC and check device manager. Expand all sections of device manager and look for anything related to lg or Qualcomm. If you have neither of those showing, install the Qualcomm driver which you can find on xda or other web sources then retry plugging and checking device manager.

If you still have nothing showing then you must have either the stock recovery or a custom recovery currently installed which you should be able to access using the correct combination of hard key presses while starting from a fully powered off state.
 
I found the drivers, and installed them on my windows 8.1 machine but still the phone won't show up on the device manager. It will also stuck on the lg logo every time I plug it in and it is impossible to force it to shut down while plugged. The problem btw started when I tried to perform an upgrade recovery. Everything was alright until the lg support tool needed more space on my hdd which I didn't have. Then the process stopped in the middle of the firmware update. What happened next is what I explained on my first post. It feels like everything is erased from the phone.

You were trying to upgrade TWRP or what? Can you access recovery using the hard keys or have you tried yet? I would give that a really strong effort because if you can't get to recovery, your next trick is going to be removing the rear cover, partially disassembling the phone, shorting pins on the motherboard, then using Linux to restore download mode.
 
hello i was stack in that place after shorting the pins im stuck in fastboot mode/ quallcom 9008/6.
when i connect to vm running ubunto and there i cant see the partitions only in windows 8.1.
