I have a verizon G3 with straight talk sim (ATT) works well so far with occasional spotty data coverage.
Its installed with Kitkat 4.4.2 (10B). Ancient . When I goto settings>System Updates, tells me no new update necessary at this time.
Your "LG VS985 is up to date" . Few qns
1. Is this happening because I am not on offficial VZW network?
2. Is there any way to manually update using ODIN flashable lollipop files?
3. If I get a Verizon sim , can I update to 5.0.2 officially?
Please help.
It needs to be active Verizon Sim. Odin is for Samsung

Also, the equivalent for Odin on LG is LG Flash Tool 2014. You can use it and the latest Verizon-LG drivers v2.22 to flash the KDZ for whichever stock Android version you want. If you want root on 24B, keep in mind that most of us haven't been able to get it after directly flashing the 24B KDZ, only by starting with the 12B KDZ and taking the official OTAs up to 24B first.

Hi! If you want to stay non-rooted, flash the KDZ of 12B using http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140 and then try the way you tried before again. Warning, flashing the 12B KDZ will wipe your internal storage so move and/or back up what you want to keep (pictures, etc) from it.

Problem Solved
downgrade to 12B then upgrade to 23A " without rooting "
thanks so much
I tried to check updates through the phone and it said my phone is up to date. I also try the Verizon upgrade assistant and it checks the phone's info but it doesn't give me the option to upgrade. I am no Android Version 4.4.2 and on software version VS98510B. I just bought this phone on craigslist. Help me out please?
Root it, install and update TWRP, and JasmineROM. Boom.
I would rather not root the phone.
No harm in rooting it, only benefit as half the people I talk with don't even like Lollipop, especially not the broken VZW version. With root, at least YOU can choose when the phone YOU bought and own with YOUR hard earned money is upgraded. Just my 2c. Otherwise I don't know why it would be doing that. Keep in mind if you upgrade to the broken Verizon LP build and don't like it you'll be rooting anyways to downgrade back.

Use the 23C_01 KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 in Windows. Have the Verizon specific LG drivers installed first.
[VK810.4G] [altev] [ViKtory810ROM] official LG G Pad 8.3 Lollipop 35A_08 5.0.2
[VK810.4G] [altev] official LG G Pad 8.3 Lollipop 35A_08 5.0.2 DEBLOAT SCRIPTS and copies of all the files they remove
[VK810.4G] [altev] OTAs, .IMGs and KDZs, oh my
Will try that right now.

Sometimes when downgrading to 10B you will not be able to update. So KDZ to 12B and then take OTA.

How do I get the 12B KDZ? I can't find it by google. What is OTA? Over the air? How do I do that?
12B KDZ should be in this forum... somewhere....
OTA = Over the Air
If you are on an unmodified, unrooted stock with stock recovery, it should trigger automatically. If not, got to Settings and have it check for an update. Pretty large files, may wish to make sure that you are on wifi.
Mines the same way on 4.4.2 and says up to date my version is vs98510a tho...
Most likely if you aren't getting ota, you are not using it on verizon. Like me lol

thats not entirely correct.
if you are not getting updates, most likely some uninformed person flashed the phone with the 10b kdz, which is not on the official update path, and why you cant get updates.
use one of the return to stock threads in the general forum to fix it, and use any other kdz or tot but not the 10b kdz or you will be right back stuck again.
my phone Info :
vs985
5.1.1
build # LMY47V
VERSION J13.LGE.VS985.0
SOFTWARE VS98535B
what Im trying to do is have A rooted 6.0 version so I read a lot about and its not possible without downgrading so I looked at Verizon LG G3 All-in-One Toolkit (VS985) (Root and TWRP Easy!) by NBreunig3 and the steps i understand I have to do is as follow :
**** 35B: Yes / No / Yes
(Can downgrade using 10B TOT method only using a special DLL file. Click here to download.)
after I do that go back to the toolkit and do this
10B: Yes / Yes / Yes
and then find a flash-able rooted stock rom (thats what Im looking for stock) and flash it via recovery
I need an advice if go a head and start with the process it will work or Im missing something
thanks
Yep, you got it. I can't speak as to the toolkit specifically, but downgrade to 10B via the TOT method using the .DLL that was extracted from the 35B KDZ, root using the Stump app, put TWRP on with TWRP Manager from the Play Store, then wipe Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data and flash the 35B Bootstack and @xdabbeb 's stock 47A firmware in the Development section along with any debloat zips you want from the third post of his thread or my signature below.
thanks a lot for confirming that the steps are correct , I really appreciate it and for extra u add ..thanks ... good day

You're welcome! You too!
Can I use LGUP to flash the .kdz for marshmallow over my rooted lollipop image using upgrade option in LGUP? Yes I want to lose root. I miss android pay to much.
Yes, as long as it's the whole .kdz image and not the update it will do a complete wipe of your phone to factory.
Is there a non OTA method to get to MM from LL?

these links still good?
Does anyone have a firmware link for the RS988....im looking for pre V11C files.
I'd be willing to give you a tip for it!
Jesus, are you there?
hahah
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-rs988-firmwares/
None of those are pre 11c. I can not say that those files even exist except for at LG and they never released anything besides 11c kdz for the USA rs988. Even so i don't think you could flash without bricking your phone because the anti roll back number for those is 0 and anything 11c and up has anti roll back of 1.

Ah sry i misread it thought was asking for 11c kdz
I flashed the RS98810d_00_0716_ARB01.kdz from that link and then proceeded to flash back to 11C from that link and then updated to 11D and stopped since I wanted to remain on Marshmallow for Xposed. However I wouldn't want to remain on 10D since it is Brightpoint and not what you want to be on with a non-brightpoint phone. Why are you wanting to be below 11C? You can't unlock and root your phone unless you are on 11D.
