Heh, I'm impressed, that's pretty painful and tricky, but you managed it.
An alternative just booting a rescue thumb drive (like most ISO images these days). Normally they have a "reinstall grub" as well as spawning a shell option. If you spawn a shell just run grub-install /dev/sda.
So all I had to do at that point was tell grub how to boot: set root=(hd0,msdos1) set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub insmod normal insmod linux linux (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-3.13.0-51-generic initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img-3.13.0-51-generic boot A bunch of kernel boot-up noise appeared, and I was prompted to enter the passphrase to decrypt my root (/) directory, and after a moment, my KDE login screen appeared! I brought up a shell, and run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (notice, not "/dev/sda1"). Rebooted, and here I am. Whew!
