Help upgrading from 5.1.1 - Verizon LG G3

I'm on Jasmine rom v 9.1 (5.1.1). Wanting to upgrade to skydragon v 6.0.2. What all do I need to flash to upgrade? I got the rom downloaded.

Just the instructions in the ROM OP and flash the 35B Bootstack AFTER flashing the ROM or you could brick your device.
You might want to try @xdabbeb 's awesome VS985 v3.1.1 in the same section, based on 48A. Both JasmineROM 9.x and SkyDragon 6.x are based on 35B which wasn't bad but 48A is even better.
Not really an upgrade going from JasmineROM to SkyDragon since there are only a few differences IMHO.
Please don't ask the same question in multiple places.

After reading the post on v3.1.1 I figured when to flash. I just was unsure whether there were new radios, or bootloader or any of that. Only posted multiple places trying to get a answer quickly, the wifes m8 was dying (refuses to charge) and I was trying to get this updated and wiped for her to use so she won't run down my battery. Sorry.

Signal loss

I have a rooted vs985. It has a current TWRP. Right now I have Beans stock rooted 4.4.2. I have been trying to load LP but when I do, it either doesn't installor when it does , the LTE phoen signal comes and goes and there is no baseband listed in the phone stats.
Any ideas?
Thanks
If you mean Lollipop Cyanogenmod-based, then you probably have to upgrade your modem to a stock Lollipop 23C or 24B modem.

It appears to be anything, CM, AOSP. Beans, Snapdragon

Those are all CyanogenMod-based. That is, there is no actual AOSP made for our device (that I've seen - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), there's only CyanogenMod and CM-based as from what I read it's considered a huge amount of effort to compile AOSP when there's CM device trees that solve most or all variant specific hurdles. I've seen ROM threads with AOSP in their name, but it's misleading IMHO because they're only AOSP in that CM is AOSP based.
Have you looked into flashing a stock Lollipop 23C or 24B modem yet?

In @bweN diorD 's stickied thread in the General section. If you want to try the 24B modem in a flashable zip and you can't find it in that thread, I know one's been posted in the JasmineROM 8.0 thread in Development (non-original).

How do I get Marshmallow, Rooted, with Hotspot hack?

How do I get Marshmallow, Rooted, with Hotspot hack?
Is there a stable ROM that has all of this out yet?
What are your recommendations?
Thanks!
What are you on now?
Either @xdabbeb 's 46A ROM along with his 46A hotspot hack in another thread, or @RoxanaSchram 's ROM - both in the Development section that you originally (mistakenly) posted this question in.
someguyatx - I'm on Skydragon's Lollipop
RoadWarrior, thanks!
Assuming you already have TWRP since you are on Skydragon
First download and flash xdabbeb 46A (read directions in his OP about bootstack and not installing SuperSU) http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
Next flash Hotspot provision http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/mod-hotspot-provision-vs985-t2918118
I personally just went to a CM13 nightly yesterday and so far its been good

Rode Warrior - which would you recommend? xdabbed's or RoxanaSchram's?
Is RoxanaSchram's basically xdabbed's but debloated and hotspot ready?

I use @xdabbeb 's with the full debloat that I offer in debloat zips, plus some extra debloating beyond that. If he releases a v3.0 of his VS985 ROM based on 46A I would definitely be using that. Overall I think his v2.0 is my favorite.

Sounds right, but can't answer from personal experience since I don't use it. I know it was based on @xdabbeb 's, and that she included debloating and I think she included @xdabbeb 's hotspot mod.

Bootstacks

I know it is here somewhere but I just can't seem to find it. Can anybody point me to the post where it shows how to figure out which bootstack is on my phone? Thank you...
I don't know of any such post.
Do you mean you're not sure which one is the last bootstack that you've flashed? If you're 100% stock unrooted, you're on the bootstack that matches the LG ROM release you're on (Settings / About / Software / Software Version); otherwise it would be complex to determine in a technical manner. If you're rooted and have a custom recovery, flash the bootstack you want to be on.
If you only want to figure out which modem you're on, @bweN diorD 's stickied thread in the General section lists the version string for every modem but 46A. On the phone, same place as for the software version but it's the Baseband version field.
To clarify the complexity, the following can factor into determining what bootstack you're on now:
What's the most recent 100% stock ROM you were on (the one you rooted and put TWRP on from)?
What ROMs have you flashed since then and in what order?
What's the most recent bootstack you flashed and when?
If you are looking for a bootstack they can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/xdabbeb-s-vs980-2-0-0-t3231279

To clarify, 24B is for Lollipop 5.0.1, 35B is for Lollipop 5.1.1 and for now, for 46A Marshmallow 6.0.0.

I was referring to the fact that most custom roms use those. For stock, what you said is accurate.

Can i flash 24b bootstack before Fulmics 6.5 to get 4G/LTE working because I am not able to get 4G by flashing 35b only 3G which is pretty slow

No idea. Only trying will tell and I already forget some of the details about what worked with what on the G3 since I don't have it anymore, but I didn't try Fulmics for long since it didn't work satisfactorily for me and I don't know if I ever had a reason to flash the 24B Bootstack on Fulmics for the short amount of time I tried it.

Vs985 - Tried MM stock, don't like it: Anything else worth trying

So I've bee, running XDABBEBs vs985 stock and I do like it but what drives me crazy that I cannot add my own words to the dictionary. Sometimes it will allow me to do so, but then when I click on it other times it just selects that word for use that single time.
So, I'm wondering if I should go back to a 5.x Rom? I read that MM blocked adding words into the dictionary this me seeking out an older Rom. But I heard battery is bad on those roms.
I flashed using stump, and then flashed the 35b stack, so am I able to just flash backwards or I can't do that? Would I have to use TOT?
Edited: just seem XDABEBB has a 2.0 ROM? Can't locate it though, I'm thinking it's a 5.1.1 rom, right? Being that I was on 10b, stump rooted, flashed 35th bootstack then XDABBEBs MM stock rom, can I just wipe and flash his 2.0 rom?

If you've already flashed the 35B bootstack you should be fine. But I've just gotten into the habit of flashing whatever bootstack the rom I'm flashing needs. Also in the OP of his rom you should flash 35B then do your wipe and then flash the rom.

Move from Rooted 12B to Custom Rom

I have figured out nearly everything to get my phone setup. What is eluding me at the moment is how to get from where I am to where the latest custom roms are. Below has been my process:
Started on 24B stock
TOT method to 10B
Stump Root
SuperSU
TWRP
10B to 12B using TWRP (retaining root)
At this point I would like to get to a custom ROM, for example SkyDragon, Resurrection, Turbo, etc. Is it as simple as downloading the rom and GAPPS, then flashing with TWRP, or do I need to move forward from 12B before I try and get to the next step? Aside, should XDABBEB's VS985 be part of my process? I'm getting a bit lost in the muck between 12B and 47A; where I should be and how to get there.
Overall, I'd like the simplest route to not having issues with advanced calling and wireless charging. It that mean not touching marshmallow quite yet, cool with me. I look forward to hearing back, and thanks to everyone who put in the hard work to package these projects together, as well as those who detail their steps and results along the way.

Just as long as you keep in mind that stock LG-based ROMs like SkyDragon, JasmineROM and @xdabbeb 's already have GApps, so you would only need GApps for CyanogenMod or CM-based ROMs like Resurrection. Personally, I stick with stock LG-based ROMs because they just work.
You also need to be on the correct Bootstack. 12B for KitKat, 24B for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow. Get used to flashing the bootstack AFTER flashing the ROM because if you ever flash JasmineROM or SkyDragon and you flash the bootstack before instead of after, the ROM will overwrite part of the bootstack and depending on some other variables you can brick your phone. Recoverable, but bricked.
or do I need to move forward from 12B before I try and get to the next step?

Only if you want to be on his ROM. Personally, his VS985 v2.0 ROM is my overall favorite although I'm currently using his stock 47A firmware completely debloated.

Advanced/HD Calling works fine for me on 47A. I thought I tested it fine on @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 too, but it's been such a long time ago I can't say for sure. Advanced Calling isn't available on CM-based ROMs like Resurrection, only stock LG-based ROMs. Wireless charging might be the same, but I don't know for sure and never used it.
