Hello everyone. I haven't been in the game for awhile and the last time I was around was with Kit Kat 4.4.4 PACROM. I want to upgrade to VanirAOSP 5.1.1 (november build) and from the vague reading on these forums and a thread on CM11 --> CM12.1, I've already updated TWRP to a recent version (2.8.7.0). Other than that, since I'm already rooted and I'm running an AOSP ROM, can I simply download VanirAOSP 5.1.1 and the appropriate gapps and do a clean flash with no problem? Or is there something else I am missing?
It might refuse to flash without the right modem. You can try flashing it and see. If it complains, it probably wants either the 23C, 24B or 35B modem. For 24B or 35B, the easiest and best way would be to flash either the 24B or 35B "bootstack" (includes the modem) from @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 thread in the Development section before the ROM. Regardless of which modem the ROM wants before you flash it, you should be able to flash the 35B bootstack after flashing the ROM, if it didn't like the 35B bootstack before flashing the ROM. Hope that's not too confusing.
if you want the latest TWRP, TWRP 3.0 was released. They are pretty much the same besides major UI enhancements.
Thanks for all the help guys. Just upgraded to TWRP 3.0. I downloaded all those bootstacks and Vanir 5.1.1 and generic gapps for Lolipop. Hopefully all goes well.

Quick background: I'm a new LG G3 owner and I've been rooting and ROMing with three previous phones going back to the OG Droid but only by following the awesome work of developers. I'm currently on the 12b build which is what the phone came with and I've rooted and installed a custom recovery.
At some point I'll try a LP Rom but I'm not quite ready yet. I was wondering if I should go ahead and flash the 23c modem and kernel now while I'm still on KK. Would that cause an issue? If that would be an issue, when would I flash those in the upgrade process?
As a side note, does anyone have a recommendation as to which LP ROM is most stable? I like customization (which the LG UI doesn't have enough of), but I value full functioning and stability more.
Thanks in advance for any help and I apologize if this info is already posted; I've been searching and reading for hours
You can't use the 23C kernel or modem on 12B.
ROMs usually include kernels so when you flash a ROM, it'll include whatever kernel's needed. I could be wrong but I think the stock LG Lollipop ROMs that have been released include the modem, too.
If they don't, flash the modem after you flash a 23C ROM.
As far as what Lollipop ROM is most stable, that's personal preference. I use my own modified Odex'd.

Thanks for the help.
Hi, it been a long time since I have been on here. I'm running 4.4.2 stock based Rom and want to upgrade to SD or Jasmine and not sure which is more stable. There is too much to read between the to roms so if someone can help that would be great.
As far as I know, both and also @xdabbeb 's VS985 ROM are all just as stable as stock 35B / LG Android 5.1.1 since they're all based on it. I never experienced any more or less stability on one versus another versus 100% unrooted stock, which I was on recently after the 35B OTA came out and we couldn't figure out how to be able to downgrade to re-root at first.
Right now I've downgraded to 4.4.2 10b. I'm wanting to flash the Resurrection rom. I'm rooted and have twrp installed. When i try updating right now i get a wrong baseband error. Do i need to update to a more current version of android before flashing this rom? I've been out of the flashing roms business for awhile. I was using a much outdated rom before. Any help would be much appreciated.
May I suggest you review the XDA rules. You just broke #1. Next time search within the thread, then within the whole forum for whatever it is you need. If that doesnt turn anything up please post your ROM related questions in the ROM thread. The answer to your question is in the thread. If you would have searched "baseband" you would have found your answer.
Anyway. You need to flash the 23c (24b should work too) modem before you flash the ROM. I suggest you just flash the whole bootstack (which includes the modem). You can find it in XDABBEBs ROM thread.
Hi
I am using verizon lg g3 vs98510b rooted running kitkat, wanted to update to official lollipop i have tried to update through ota but might be in my region ota is not available i live in pak whenever i press system update button in setting nothing happens
Can anyone tell me how to update my device to official lollipop. Kindly let me know the procedure step by step in an easy way as i am not an advanced user.
Hi!
Update your custom recovery to TWRP v2.8.7.0, or use TWRP Manager to flash that on your phone if you don't have a custom recovery yet. Then flash one of the stock-based ROMs: @xdabbeb 's VS985 ROM 2.0, @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 update, or @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon v6.x, all in the Development section.
Although you used to be able to take OTAs while rooted as long as you had the stock recovery, the OTA from 12B (KitKat) to 23C (Lollipop) took that away and in fact you can no longer even take OTAs at all if you're rooted.
I have AT&T and I can't get LTE back on my vs98547a so I TOT'd back to 10b intent on using it.
What's the best ROM that works with the 10b radio? What's the latest CM that can use 10b?
Probably the earlier versions of JasmineROM or SkyDragon for stock. CM11 should definitely work with the 10B modem - I doubt if CM12.0 will. I seem to recall CM12 requiring the 23C modem but I could be wrong. Sorry I don't have concrete knowledge, just thought I'd share what I could.
I'm in bad shape! Skydragon's first official release was lollipop, and the pre-release KK version is not available. Cyanogen dropped all their CM11 downloads, and I can't find any place with backups or at least the last release. I'm running JasmineROM 3.0 which uses the 11c radio but I have the same problem and Band 4 is active but just won't work.
Does anyone have CM11 for vs985 still sitting on their hard drive?
