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

@agus2205 you are not alone on your fastboot issue. Several others have reported the same problem lately...the commands show up on the phone's screen but they don't actually do anything worthwhile. The only way out of that I'm aware of is to short the capacitors on the motherboard (lg now unbrickable thread on xda), and recover by flashing back the partitions via linux. For that I recommend flashing aboot, boot, dbi, laf, rpm, sbl1, and tz.

However, since you have a D802 and LG PC Suite flashed ok but bricked the phone, I'd be worried that you don't have a D802 mobo in the phone. You'll see people in similar situations in tons of threads here and elsewhere. So while you're inside the phone, you can check the model number which is stamped at the bottom and on the gold ribbon cables going up both sides of the phone. That'll give you about 90% accuracy of which model board is in the phone. To be 100%, you have to remove the board itself and look on the underside of it where it's stamped. Most likely, if this is your issue, it'll be a D800 board - the majority are.
 
guys need help i have LG G2 D802 32GB and it is in fastboot, when i put the usb cable i my pc doesnt recognise the phone, i have instal the lg drivers ... http://3.1m.yt/EuPZLOrcw.jpg ?
can someone help me ?

You need to also install fastboot drivers. Then try a fastboot reboot command to see if the phone reboots. Many times, phones on lollipop have a broken fastboot mode where the commands will show up on the phones screen but the device won't process the commands. Also, you should verify which model motherboard your phone contains by removing the rear cover and inspecting. Post a pic of internals if you have any questions on that.

It is D800 model :/ as i know it is 32gb version http://2.1m.yt/0VCitlRE0.jpg
and i don't have download mode and i can't go into recovery mode
and when i type the imei i get this... http://1.1m.yt/rwh-szshh.jpg
 
My pc read the phone like it is an alcatel phone:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot and i try the command"fastboot reboot" and it is working... (the phone restat, but the other commands doesn't work, like "fastboot erase laf" ... it just fail, again and again)
 
If it restarts it should be detecting the device ok. The Alcatel thing could just be a function of the minimal adb install so I wouldn't worry too much about that. What I would try to do is fastboot flash aboot, boot, dbi, laf, rpm, sbl1, and tz using D800 files. That should get your download mode working again, then you can flash a D800 tot to restore the phone.
 
every time i type a command it show error..
fastboot: getvar: partition-type:recovery
fastboot: erase:recovery
partition_get_size 16777216 bytes
Full Erase partition recovery
Error 2: Failure sending erase group start command to the card (RDA:2)

and also every time when i type diferent command "partition_get_size 16777216 bytes" it is changing the size...
 
Yeah if you were on lollipop prior to these issues, that seems to break fastboot mode causing the inability to write as you are seeing. You will likely have to short the capacitors on the motherboard to get 9006 or 9008 mode. I assume you have seen the xda thread for that by now. You seem pretty knowledgeable already.
 
Some advice I gave in another thread @Dastaner :

Follow the picture instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830

However don't use the board diag tool posted there. Instead use this one:
https://mega.co.nz/#!pZQyXbAD!960ZDwH36ZwqY2C7CoiDdfgxCRodU2VPFMaAGkobtCc

Use the .exe inside 3.99c variant 2.

You'll also need a d801 tot:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D801BK/Stock_Firmware

The tot is the 3rd item in that list (the zip. unzip it to reveal the tot)
May as well download the dll from there also which is the last item in list. You won't use that until later but you'll need it eventually.

So that should get you started for the boardiag portion of your unbrick effort. When done with that, you won't likely have a booting phone, but you will have a working download mode. So then you can proceed to flash stock via instructs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Ignore the first half of the OP and focus on the 2nd half dealing with LG Flash tools and a tot. You already have the tot and dll from above. Those are you 2 target files to use in LG Flash tools to flash stock. Read all the instructs on that carefully. Ask if questions along the way. I'm going to be leaving for the evening but will check back in when possible. This is going to be a bit of work but you can fix this one most likely.

Use the tool I linked instead. Ignore the part about D801 of course, otherwise all that advice is valid for your D800.

That's if you end up in 9008 after shorting the board which is highly likely.
 
First of all i will need to short capacitors on the motherboard to get the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode
and then i will need to follow step 1 ?
Does the program will work on win7 64bit ?
