You can flash any Verizon Rom at this point. The Rom's won't include the updated modems, if you want to update those you can flash them separetely - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958

Hello everybody
I have a few questions regarding my phone and I hope you can help me solve them. I have the VS985 and I had it on 35b Lollipop 5.1.1 I was able to root it but then I realized there's no custom recovery for it yet, I was planning to try skydragon, so I downgraded using the TOT method to 10, so far so good, nonetheless, in order for me to try to install that ROM I read that I had to have the 35b boostack, so I installed the xdabbeb_vs98535b_bootstack.zip file, TWRP 2.8.7.0 says that installs successfully, I restart the phone but when I go to baseband says unknown and sure enough I can't install skydragon or cm13 because it says I don't have the 35b baseband.
I've tried the 24b, 23c and 12b modems, all get me baseband unknown and get no signal on Tmobile. The TOT I used was LG G3 VS985 10B_03 Stock TOT. I've been looking online and everybody says just flash the baseband on TWRP and voila! but not my case, I can flash it but doesn't work.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Hello!
It is incorrect that you have to have the 35B bootstack to be on SkyDragon (same with JasmineROM). The only time it's a must is if you want to use Advanced Calling, or just plain want to use the latest modem. SkyDragon and JasmineROM contain several partitions from 24B. Flashing the ROM after the bootstack is what caused the issue, because critical partitions in the 35B bootstack were overwritten by their 24B counterparts that are in the ROM.
If you want the 35B bootstack, then you need to flash that after having flashed SkyDragon.

Hello there!
So let me explain a bit more about my situation, I currently have 4.4.2 stock 10b I downgraded from 35b 5.1.1. I rooted the phone and installed TWRP but when I try to flash CM 12.1 or CM 13, I mentioned skydragon but my mistake is CM what I want to flash, I always get the error that the modem isn't the right one, I've tried with several modems and same error. What can I do install CM?
Thank you

Either flash the 23C or 24B modem before flashing CM12.1/13. The 24B bootstack contains the 24B modem so you can flash that before trying to flash CM.
Edit: I haven't tried CM12.1 in a long time, and I've never tried CM13 so this is based only on old information which was definitely true at one time, at least for CM12.1. Repeat, no personal experience with CM13. I only chimed in at the mention of SkyDragon.

Hey there!
Thank you for your help! Well this I what I've tried, I restored to 10b using TOT I installed all modems, 12b, 23c, 24b and 35b and all of them are giving me unknown baseband afterwards, I get no signal, so I figured I'll install CM on top, but guess what? it always gives me the error that the baseband isn't the right one. I'm not trying to restore to 10b by using the KDZ method and then I'll install the modem. I don't know what is going on.
Thank you for helping on this.
P.D. I'll try skydragon to see what happens, I didn't install it because I read gives no data on Tmobile.

Hello! I have an update
So this is what I did, I downloaded SkyDragon V6.0.2 and installed on the 10b vesion and it worked just fine, I didn't want to risk to try to flash CM anymore but so far everything is working! even data on roaming, I'm currently in Canada and the Telus network is flying, over 70mb on download, as a matter of fact, I never seen those speeds in the US, at least where I live.
I'm sure if I flash CM from TWRP it will work because I'm using the 35b baseband.
Thank you all for your help!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2016!

this might be a Question most Moto E users will have when they want to flash a new ROM.
i want to flash cm14/lineage OS. i want to know that can i directly flash the new ROM using TWRP? will it brick my phone?

so can i flash my stock 4.4.4 android to fully unroot, and then update to 5.1 lollipop with the OTA, and then root and directly flash the lineage rom? i heard that one needs to update to lollipop to update one's bootloader...
that would be the correct and safe process right?

Well for starters and device specific https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/warning-downgrading-information-moto-e-t3062859
But there can be other reasons like flashing unstable, wrong roms recoveries kernels scripts etc..

Do you mean we can't downgrade the ROMs, 7.1 to 5.0 directly, so do we have to go 7.1 to 7.0 to 6.0 and then 5.1 and then 5.0?
No we can downgrade directly. But be careful, we shouldn't go to 4.4.2 we can go to lollipop or 4.4.4. I have tried it myself and went back to lineage too
Hi all.
First of all, I'm newbie on this, so be patient. I tried to flash CyanogenMod on my Honor 5X (KIW-L23), but did not perform the upgrade to MM. Now I have CM 12.1 (Lollipop) but I can't install CM 13 (MM) or any MM based ROM.
How can I upgrade to MM?
Thanks in advance!
restore a twrp backup of stock rom, flash stock recovery and update to MM, or flash stock rom and update

Hi. That's the stuff. I lost the stock backup I did. I tried to search for the stock rom, but I have,'t found it. Is there other way to upgrade it without the stock rom?

Use huawei update finder for stock, if you have already tried the normal method to wipe then flash the rom and it didn't work then I don't know any other methods to update
Firmware finder is ur good frn now
I had flashed various custom rom by simply using rom and gapps but never heard about flashing firmware. Is flashing a firmware different from flashing rom.
Is it necessary to flash firmware if i want to flash a new rom?

If you came from the latest miui(7.5.4 onwards) then no.
Firmware is responsible for the modem, sensors, etc.
You always have to use latest firmware from MIUI ROM.. But of course you don't have to download full ROMs because there are people like @Psy_Man or @TheStrix which are extracting those firmwares for us. So thanks to them you can flash just a small zip file around 40MB.
Hello guys,
I am currently on LOS and planning to go back to stock ROM.
LOS was flashed over the downgraded firmware necessary to unlock the bootloader.
Would it be advisable to flash the latest stock over it or should I rather go back to the downgraded ROM and upgrade it through OTAs? Are there any partitions flashed through OTA that would be otherwise missed by TWRP?
Also, can anyone recommend a debloated, optimized Android 8 ROM for this phone?
Thank you for your time!

There are TWRP flashable zips you can use.
See the H930 KDZ thread for instructions on how to flash them.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-h930-t3779076
Be sure to use the stable TWRP linked in the WTF thread, not the new beta experimental TWRP listed elsewhere.

Quick question please, are the ROMs in your thread upgradable through ota should LG release one?
I noticed you mentioned after each build that they're not meant to be upgraded.
I may have a case of the stupids here but does it mean that once you flash one of them you're stuck on that version?
PS thanks a lot for taking the time to answer these questions. I appreciate your help a lot ^^
