Are you on VZW with a valid SIM card and are you on stock, unrooted and it's not modified? If any of your answers to even one of those questions is a "no" that is why. Considering you're still on Lollipop and MM has been out for a long time, my feeling is you have a modified image of some sort. If you rooted and then just removed root without flashing back to stock, that won't do it. Once rooted, you have modified the system partition of you phone and it will no longer accept OTAs.
If you have reflashed to stock, what did you use? From what I remember, if you used an earlier KDZ image before Marshmallow, there is a particular KDZ image that was based on a pre-release version I believe and it will NOT allow OTAs to come through.
You can always flash the latest MM image via KDZ but it's like a factory reset so back up all data (photos, etc) on your internal memory before you do it.
This thread explains how to flash via KDZ if you don't know how:

I have a VZ LG G3 that I rooted using StumpRoot. I am trying to do the Verizon system update to Lollipop. It downloads it and then it reboots, but almost immediately it shows me error 0x1117008, and then just reboots again and tells me the update failed. It doesnt give me any other info. Currently my phone shows Android version 4.4.2 and software version VS98511C and shows the Software status as Modified. Is there a way to get Lollipop? Would I have to unroot first? (If so, what is the best way? SuperSU offers me that option). I appreciate any help. Thanks.

You will have to flash back to either stock 12b via KDZ or go back to 10b and upgrade that way. Once rooted, you cannot update to LP via the OTA. Unrooting won't fix it either as it has already been modified.
If you flash back to 12b via KDZ, it will still show your software as modified, but the OTA will take.
Then you can use the one-click root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951) to root LP.

Thank you for the reply. How do I go back to 10b? Also, if I want to use the KDZ method, can it be done with a Linux machine?
Thanks.

Not sure about Linux. I believe it all has to be done via Windows if using the KDZ or TOT methods.

10b is great, and everything just works. I am not sure why any one wants to "upgrade" to 23c given Google has not fixed the memory leak issues, but if you want to, read on.
If you have rooted, you do not want to upgrade by OTA. OTA is patches to the unmodified stock firmware. It will fail if your phone is in anyway modified. Here is what you can do:
1. Install TWRP manager from Google Play.
2. From TWRP manager you can choose your phone model and download and install TWRP recovery.
3. Follow the instruction from this link to use TWRP to install the 23c
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-rom-base-lp-upgrade-bump-t3051884
Jasmine ROM is basically stock with root, which is probably what you want.

So Jasmine ROM also has the notification issues over Wifi or is that fixed with a mod of some sort?

There is an IPv6 fix that you can flash to solve it.
I upgraded using the Verizon tool on the computer. I was rooted.
So I'm new here and it's probably best if I start off with happened.
I was having trouble with okay Google working so I uninstalled app and reinstalled app and no change. Then I upgraded my phone. That was a big no-no. I use streaming media with blue tooth and it wasn't working. So I did a factory data reset and still no luck.
I found a Rom file and used LG flash tool and reset back to stock but I don't think my phone came with this software. I feel like there's a newer version but not lollipop. Does anybody have any idea where to get it? I think it's 12b or something like that. Oh and I used a root checker and apparently I'm not rooted?
Or can someone help me find a Rom like the 12b or just a very very stable Rom with good battery life, there are just way to many to check out. And I don't want to FC, I think that's what its called.
11c is the build I'm looking for..
To get 11c I think you will need to return to 10b via tot or kdz then root, install bumped twrp, then flash up from there. We have a 12b kdz and a pre-release 10b kdz, but not released 10b kdz or 11c kdz.
Thanks for your reply. When I went to update software it said update available but I thought it was lollipop. It says now user declined 10b to 11c. When I check for updates now it says no updates available. How could I fix it to I can update? Do I need to do factory reset?
Also, how does 12b kdz differ from 11c if you know off hand.
I got it! I was able to update to 11c after I did the factory rreset. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi, i am rooted VS985 with king root, installed TWRP and on Stock 4.4.2 and rooted for deleting all pre loaded verizon and amazon apps and did some changes in system folders like hidden menu etc .. all deleted not today when i connected my PC software assistance tool , it says update is available.. see thumbnails
Now, i am confused if i update my rooted device , can i brick my phone?
please someone guide me, should i go for this update or NOT??
If you ran the update through the tool it would fail since you are rooted and don't have stock recovery installed anymore. It's good practice to never update the phone via OTA or tool if you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery installed.
To update to the latest firmware, use twrp to flash the 35B (5.1.1) version of Skydragon, jasminerom, or xdabbeb's in the Verizon G3 android development section. All are stock based ROM's and run great. 5.1.1 has been a godsend for this phone. Much smoother and better battery life.
My friend has a verizon LG G3. It is currently running 5.1.1 lollipop 35b. It was having a bunch of random reboots, we put in a new battery and the reboots stopped. The phone is working fine, except it keeps downloading the 46a 6.0 marshmallow update, but when it reboots to install, it gets to 2% and says error and reboots and I am back in 5.1.1 lollipop still. I checked software status, and it said "official" and I even used the Lg upgrade and repair assistant from verizon and chose to repair, which downloaded a 1.64 gb file (the 35b software kdz I'm pretty sure) and flashed it to the phone. I have also used lg flash tool 2014 to flash the 35b kdz. It always flashes the 35b kdz just fine, but still fails to take the marshmallow update.
I don't need root. All I'm trying to do is get from stock 35b lollipop to 46a marshmallow since it keeps failing. Since it didn't work even after successfully flashing the kdz, do I have to go all the way back to 10b and then just take a bunch of software updates ota until I get to 46a? I helped her get this phone on ebay, and it wasn't rooted when we got it, but for some reason it just won't take the update.
I understand there is no 46a kdz available right? I have been reading around about downgrading to 10b and whatnot here on xda, but I would prefer to not have to go through all that extra hassle if I don't have to. I don't need root, just need to update.
Any tips / ideas would be great! thanks.

I doubt if that would make any difference - OTAing to 35B gets you the same thing as flashing the 35B KDZ, but this is such a weird problem, I don't know... Try it and let us know.
You could try any extra factory reset even though flushing the KDZ with the official tool does that.
The only other thing I can think of is to try taking the OTA without the Micro SD card in.

Correct, haven't seen it. The tool you used should've downloaded the 46A KDZ if it had been available.
I picked up a new in box factory unlocked LG V30+ (LG-US998) on Amazon pretty cheap in December. What I didn't realize it that it is just running android 7.1.2 not 8 which I believe is the most current version available. I bought the unlocked version to avoid all the AT&T bloatware, but now I'm realizing it won't update OTA to the newest OS and is probably behind on security updates. Does anyone know what I need to do to get the phone to update OTA. I'm not interested in a custom rom or any of that, so if that means I need to flash the AT&T stock rom (with their bloatware) that's fine. I just want the phone to get OTA updates. I tried using the LG software to update it and it doesn't recognize the phone.
Refer to these two threads. Read through them, ignore the part about rooting if you won't be doing that.

You just need to update to latest US998 KDZ via software called LGUP.
See link below. You want steps 4 and 5.
FRANKENSTEIN INSTRUCTIONS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76510671&postcount=168
Yes, those instructions are for converting to US998 -- but steps 4 and 5 still apply to someone just wanting to update US998 to most current firmware.
Install LGUP, download latest US998 KDZ (links provided), flash via Update mode. Easy.

An even better answer:

Just go to the US998 Oreo KDZ thread, install the LGUP attached there and download latest KDZ to update. Install via "Upgrade" mode in LGUP.

I read through but I'm a bit unsure of what I need to do. Do I need to unlock the bootloader or root it? I'm not interested in rooting it. Do I just download US99820h_00_0318.kdz and use the patched LGUP to install / flash it to my phone? I'm not sure where to get the proper patched version of LGUP to do this.

Yes, that's exactly what you do. It's like a manual OTA. You have the file, you use Upgrade mode with Dev Patched LGUP (which is more powerful than stock LGUP).

I had this same issue with my phone... Wouldn't ever get OTA updates... Honestly, the easiest way to get updates outside the kdz and lgup is to use the twrp stock builds. They're stock V30, you can get them without bloatware (US-998), and updating them is a piece of cake once you know what you're doing... In my case, the lack of updates seemed to have something to do with the fact that my device was somehow a Sprint device, blah blah blah....
Anyways, TWRP stock builds is the way to go... I'm currently running the Tmobile stock build and it's fine and does whatever I need it to... I like it better than custom

But they don't want to unlock bootloader and root, so I'm telling them the easy LGUP Upgrade mode method with latest US998 KDZ.
I agree TWRP flashable zip is fantastic. I use it, but for my wife's phone which is not bootloader unlocked or rooted (and my sister's phone also), the LGUP/KDZ method is where they need.

I hate to resurrect such an old post, but I never got around to doing this. Now that the quarantine is in place I have time. Is there a newer version of the kdz that I should use (probably Pie)? I'm guessing there's a newer version of LGUP (modified) as well?
Let me make sure I understand this too. I can use the modified version of LGUP to flash the newer kdz to my phone using the "upgrade" option and it keeps all the data currently on my phone, right? If later I wanted to do a factory reset on my phone, that would wipe the data but still retain the newer kdz that was installed, correct?

For US998, I only recommend updating to last Oreo 20h. I'm rooted, still on that. My wife, mother, sister, brother in law who are all NOT Bootloader Unlocked/Rooted are all still on that, also.
The one US998 Pie KDZ we received is very wonky. It's technically for U.S. Cellular. LG never released Pie KDZ for Open Market. Charging is slower, other things broken if you use other carriers.
Many people find it hard to update to, and if you have problems most of the workarounds depend on having TWRP.
I strongly recommend stable last Oreo 20h.
Yes, there is newer version of Dev Patched LGUP. I have it posted in the US998 Oreo and Pie KDZ threads, as well as Frankenstein.
Yes, if the use Upgrade mode you keep your data as long as you are already on earlier same firmware, in this case US998.
