Yes. There is a solution to update to Lollipop or MM.
1. First root ur device. there are lots of app and tools. i used kingo root tool.
2. install custom recovery. the only best recovery that supports g3 is TWRP. No need of latest 3.0 version. Even 2.8 version is good enough to flash all the roms you want.
Visit this link , You will Understand better.

3. ** Even though ur device showed D855, you need to install only LS990 recovery as ur model is Ls990 running on custom kitkat D855 rom..( Yes. its a custom rom of D855. So the model shows as D855. You wont have system updates and some other options missing)
4. Now go to playstore, download flashify.. Open it and select the recovery file u downloaded. It will flash and will reboot to recovery.
5. Now ur device is rooted with TWRP'd.
6. Download the custom rom u want and flash it. If u did the above steps correctyly, U can update to 6.0 also( custom roms).
if anything goes wrong, feel free to PM me.

If U flash stock lollipop, everything works fine except 2 things.
1. Sim wont get detected as ur phone becomes locked to a carrier
2.you will see a message or a dialog saying " handsfree activation" with a running circular progress bar all the time. You cant operate the phone, or cant even lock the phone as it appears again and again. There's a solution to this problem.
Also, a solution for the first issue. But data won't work.
Its better to flash custom Roms. Fulmics rom is the best for everyday use.
If u still want stock rom experience, and think that mobile data is not a big deal, then I can help you with the first 2 issues..

hello i solved this issue on my sprint g3 a couple days ago let me help you
first of all these refurbished got the intenational version installed on them but you should keep in mind the phone is actually ls990
and for this tutorial you will need
1- adb drivers ( it will be cool you connect your phone and type adb devices so you get your real phone's version)
2- TWRP for ls990 other versions might not work (http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/twrp-2.8.0.0_ls990-signed.img)
3- root kk android version on your device using LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh (https://sourceforge.net/projects/avicohh/files/Android/LG_Root_Script_by_avicohh.exe/download )
4- you need to flash the twrp.img i'll recommend you to copy trwp on your sd and use flashify (available for free on playstore).
5- download, this marshmallow stock prerooted rom (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6tyZeOuo5smdWNzWVBURE9SMTg/view)
put in your sd or phones memory and install using twrp
it might take a while to boot but you will be ok
6- that's how i got android M on my refurbished LS990
oh one last thing nfc is buggy though but i don't use it
the rest works fine
you can check for rom updates here

Yes.i will.
For handsfree activation dialog:

Follow the steps exactly..
Not sure and cant guarantee that data will work. Inorder to uae data,u should go to custom roms only. (Self experience)
Done
Now everything should work.
Hit thanks if it helped...
