I apologize in advance if any of this makes you roll your eyes at my stupidity.
Good Afternoon
I have an ATT samsung galaxy s3, Because of the glitches with 4.3 I was experiencing I decided to install custom software on my phone. So I looked up guides and got everything I needed. I did manage to get root access, and verified with super user. I also installed TWRP and CWM because each kept giving me errors when I tried to install CM 11 onto my phone. I tried CWM first, and when that didn't work I tried TWRP. It says there was no MD5 information found when I try to install any mod. how ever I have used the md5 file checker program and the MD5 matches up to what was listed in this one for example.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2518998
Download:
CM 11.0 Unofficial Beta 7 for d2tmo and d2att
MD5: ef93957db1e6704f23f9015231a82826
So the MD5 matches, yet when I try to install it keeps giving me errors. I also tried other versions of CM that I found on here via links. Right now my phone has no OS as another guide I read some where also said to wipe system data (sorry if that was stupid, I was just following a guideline) And even more stupid, no I don't have a backup because in my naivety and stupidity I didn't think I'd need one as it seemed so simple from all the guides and videos I'd seen.
Yesterday a friend of mine knowledgeable with tech stuff took one of the original stock Image ROMs I'd downloaded and using linux and some program he managed to do some crazy stuff I can't even describe on here. All I saw was a lot of typing of command lines and it got my phone working again, how ever it wasn't exactly the stock image I guess because the phone would not make or receive calls/texts.
Since my phone was powering on again and the android OS was loading I figured I could connect it to my computer and use KIES to download the official latest update so my phone would be back on the legit software. But trying to do that...well broke my phone again. So I'm at a loss now of what to do. Right now I can still get to download mode on my phone, but when I try to get into recovery mode I get an error that "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again." Which I've tried, and every time I try it gives me an error message.So I'm at a loss of what to do next.
So I'd like to get a working OS on my phone asap so I can get calls and texts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And being new I'm sorry if I broke any taboos or did not give some information that is typically given when describing a problem.

same error happened to me yesterday and spent the whole day figuring it out. get into download mode. boot up ODIN and reflash your preferred custom recovery. after that, i couldn't find anything else to restore my phone with so i installed 4.3 leaked from here. doesn't matter which one you select. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233. place it on your sd card and head into recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset and cache. head to install zip from sd card and select the 4.3 zip you downloaded. reboot system and it should work. the at&t boot screen takes a while so be patient

First of all thank you for trying to help me, I hope you are having a good Thanks Giving.
I used the thread you linked to, and downloaded the version with out knox. I followed the instructions
transferred ROM and flashed kernel file to SD card
used odin to flash TWRP,
used twrp to flash rom and kernel file.
and it takes the file thankfully, there's only one issue. My phone can't make or receive calls/texts. Is yours able to?
I messed up and was playing with things That I had no business playing with and decided that I should do a restore of a backup (TWRP) I made as soon as I rooted the 4.3 OTA. well it has soft bricked my phone. it was a TWRP 4.3 Nandroid and has me messed up a little.
so far I tried My nandroid (no dice now a soft brick) cleared cache and dalvik, It was booting as far as the white at&t spinning thing,
Factory reset same on booting,
Tried a format of the internal sd this is where it gets sketchy it now goes as far as the second samsung screen(the one that says Samsung GALAXY S III)
4.3 OTA .zip (no dice TWRP wont flash it) same on the booting 2nd samsung boot screen
Tried the files in the link above and got a Hard brick
Used the debricking .IMG file and got TWRP and download mode back
Any suggestions?
Looks like I might need a JTAG/RIFF BOX for this one. If nothing else I spent many Hours of darkness discovering the darkness of android 4.3
If I get recovered from this and with a different rom like 4.1.2 I will be happy. the 4.3 OTA was very stable but I did miss wifi tether and the whole hardbrick thing was kind of a bummer. it would be real nice to have an ODIN file to fix this (AHEM samsung) or atleast perhaps stopped the progression of it to a hard brick.
New update
I got my phone booting up again however there is a catch. That unbrick.img file on my 16GB sd card is still required to boot the phone and I have no cell service what so ever. Tried to check apn settings because at home I sometimes get poor service and I run net10 so I was going to fix my apn and it says insert sim??? the sim is properly inserted???
Next Update
the bootloader I flashed apparently flashed to the external sd card? I flashed another one and it is booting from the internal sd. I had to flash a different modem the one in the bootloader/modem file I flashed from the link above didnt take? I got most everything sorted out, but im getting tired, it has been an all night adventure. its 08:23 est now
sorry for the delay in updating this I had to get some rest.

Go into Settings, About Phone, Status and check to see if your IMEI and Serial Number are present. If you only lost your IMEI there's a guide on how to inject it back (I'm not sure where the guide is). However if you've lost your serial number and don't have a Nandroid that can restore it I don't know what to do.

I updated my post above and showed my soultion. I simply had to flash a new modem and almost everything was kosher. I also had to flasah a different kernel but that was for preference not because things werent working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47817339&postcount=23 Modem download
I used that modem, flash it and see if your problems go away. I use Net10 so after I flashed the Modem I had to create an APN aswell, but that is nothing new for me.

It should be, I'm working right now so I don't have time to fine the guide on how to inject your IMEI. If I remember correctly it involves using QPST. If you have an old (or any) working Nandroid backup that should fix the problem.
FYI, make sure you don't use the guide for the international S3 as it has different hardware and folder structure/contents.
As for the APN, it should automatically fill itself in since it reads it off the SIM Card (I might be wrong).

67 texts just came in. Sir, I thank you oh so kindly. You have made this gloomy rainy day oh so joyous.
No problem. Glad I could help you.
The real credit should go to -Mr.X-, loserskater and anyone else(no disrespect there were alot of files) whose stuff I tried to flash lastnight thank you all in the dev community who contribute.

So I guess the next question, do I try again to install kit kat on my phone.
I've already made bucks of my existing working phone haha....but I'd still like to have kitkat in place. I believe the issue of my phone not reading MD5 confirmations would still be in place, does anyone know how to remedy that situation?
At the same time I'm more than happy to leave my phone as is.

Pretty sure you can turn off MD5 checks in TWRP. Probably in CWM too. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Didn't have time to read the whole thread. Just skimmed through.
2nd, there is a major difference between an IMEI that reads 0 and an IMEI that shows unknown. If it shows an unknown simply reflash your ROM and modem and you will be good to go. Sometimes a reboot is all you need. If your IMEI is showing a 0 on the other hand its gone and will require that it be injected back in which is a messy situation that usually results in tour phone being stuck on EDGE.
3rd, as someone mentioned on the previous page, restoring a working nandroid will NOT reinject your IMEI if it shows up as 0. No amount of flashing anything will get it to come back. Not even stock. It needs to be reinjected manually.

do you know of a good stable kit kat like ROM I could use for the s3? And any speculation as to why the ROMs werent taking for me?
Hello everyone. I'm quite new to this whole fiddling with my S3 thing. I mean, I successfully flashed a previous version of Danvdh's Dandroid ROM a few months ago but was not pleased when it would not pick up ANY GPS satellites even after 20 minutes of waiting to get a fix. Of course I tried everything from tightening screws (none of my screws were loose) to that aGPS patch (for which it gave me the wrong location even after trying what the notes suggest).
Having said that, yesterday, I tried flashing other ROMs (like Beanstalk) in hopes of getting better GPS. Now Beanstalk worked fine and gave me GPS, but with that I then ran into problems mounting and formatting a new SD card. So then I flashed the newest version of Dandroid and successfully mounted the SD card, but it still gave me GPS problems, at which point I was kind of disheartened and decided to give saranhai's StockMOD ROM a try.
I ran into all kinds of problems.
1. I'm sure this isn't the dev's fault, but my CWM version 6.0.3.7 (is that old?) won't recognize any kind of change in my internal SD card since late yesterday. My desktop and ES file explorer both register the same files and folders, but CWM still sees old files like the zip files for Beanstalk and Dandroid which don't appear on my computer??? And it won't see any new files??? What did I do wrong? Therefore, I flashed things from my external SD card from there. (Was that wrong to do?) Also, every time I try to reboot through CWM, it says root access may have been lost and asks if I want to try and fix it. I say no because my SuperSU still works?
2. After FIRST flashing Dandroid 5.1 I noticed Wi-Fi wasn't working. A post from the Dandroid thread said to flash a kernel "or update to the newest bootloaders." I flashed the kernel he provided and found out too late that it was for T999L or something and my phone is T999. I'm kinda surprised my phone didn't brick then. Anyway, I got Wi-Fi, but whenever I tried to turn on mobile data, it said to insert a SIM card?? I'm sure it's because I flashed that wrong kernel. When I go into Settings > About Device it says the Baseband version is unknown and the Kernel version is as follows:
3.0.31-1804024
[email protected]
Sat Oct 5 00:13:48 KST 2013
and the build number: JSS15J.T999UVUEMJC
EDIT: I FOUND OUT MY PHONE WAS ACTUALLY T999L NOT T999. Currently trying to fix things. I'll get back to the thread.
3. So hoping saranhai's StockMOD ROM would give me the fresh start I so desperately needed, I followed his instructions step by step from flashing the right modem FIRST then flashing the ROM, but alas, the same "Insert SIM card...." error still plagued me. You would not believe how sad I got. (I'm still pretty sad.) At that point I tried REALLY hard to familiarize myself with what I was doing, reading the thread carefully, looking through that glossary thread to help me keep up with the techie terms, and searching for instructions on how to get it fixed, but I couldn't find anything and I was stuck.
4. This morning I flashed the Insecure kernel the StockMOD ROM thread provided and I still get the error.
5. I tried to restore from a backup I made last week on CWM, but it kept saying "checking MD5 files" and them giving me an error about not being able to restore.
As you all can see, I probably made a HUGE mess out of my phone and it might come as a huge surprise that I haven't bricked it completely. I'm extremely desperate at this point and I've admitted that I don't know what I'm doing. :crying:
It's come to the point where I just want a stable handset that will give me the services I want (GPS, mobile data, Wi-Fi, etc.) and I'm beginning to think this root lyfe isn't for me. I searched for guides on how to return to stock and unroot, but all the guides are different and I'm so confused and overwhelmed as to what I should do at this point. Please, please, please! A little guidance would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks for your time!
First off don't get disheartened. You did demonstrate a genuine attempt to help yourself and try your best on your own. Yes mistakes happen. We all do that. For what its worth, no one is born knowledgeable in these areas. We all learn.
Ok so what do we do next ? Lets start with a clean slate and put that all behind you. Yes your current recovery CWM is indeed dated and that's the reason for some of the issues you have.
Follow these steps.
1. Take UVDMD5 version of Root66 from here. Use ODIN to flash it to your phone. If you need a guide on how to use ODIN, read this thread carefully.
2. Once that Stock firmware has been updated and your phone boots fine, check if you have GPS and all the other features working to your satisfaction. Given your problems with GPS, I strongly recommend taking a GPS fix at this time.
3. Once that's working fine, flash the latest CWM Touch Recovery (version 6.0.4.5 for D2TMO). You can use Rom Manager from Play store.
4. Take a Nandroid before proceeding. When you do, uncheck the generate MD5 and enable Compression.
5. Now its your choice. You could flash Saranhai's Stock Mod or Danvdh's Dandroid. Both are good Roms and its your call. Check the GPS working after you flash Rom of your choice.
If you do choose to go after Saranhai's Rom and get into the Wi-Fi Problems, post here before you try any solutions. With Danvdh's Rom, there are certain steps to enable Root. You can't just flash SuperSU and hope to gain Root.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply!
After a little bit of browsing the forum, I found that my IMEI seems to be missing and simply flashing the correct modems/kernels/whatever you call them does not fix it. I will go through your instructions and then report the results.
I read on here that sometimes it just happens randomly after flashing 4.3 ROMs? Well I certainly hope I get back my IMEI and hope it's not blacklisted :/ Apparently I can't access signal or data without it.
Thank you again!
EDIT: Does an "Unknown" IMEI mean I've totally lost it?
EDIT 2: Okay now I know God hates me. I downloaded the Root66 file and Odin will NOT let me flash it onto my phone. Keeps giving me aboot (???) errors no matter what port I use! I know I took a risk tinkering with my phone but I don't think I deserve this!
Honestly now I don't want anything to do with rooting and custom ROMs anymore. I think I'm too stupid for this. I think I just want it back to the way it was when I bought it. Could you please help me to do that?
I'm done with this root stuff, I can't do it anymore.
Sorry, I honestly don't mean to come off as whiny or ungrateful, I've just spent two days trying to figure this stuff out and it's getting me VERY tired and VERY irritated.
Oops I think I forgot to mention that you will have to put the phone in Download mode before you plug it in for ODIN. In order to get into Download mode you turn off the phone and press Volume Down AND HOME AND POWER simultaneously. If you are doing it for the first time, it may seem hard. Be patient.
Yes I suspected you to be "Missing IMEI". That's why suggested going to Stock. Your Call & Data problems come from there.
My steps do take you back to Stock.
Warning: This post is long, and probably full of grammatical errors due to my writing it late at night. a TL;DR is included at the bottom, but to fully understand my problem, I encourage you to read the whole post.
Hello, xdadevelopers community. I really need your help. So, recently I learned how to install custom ROMs myself and the experience has been really informative but also very struggling. To make a rather long story short, I bought a used G3 from my friend, had him root it, put a custom ROM on it, and everything was working fine. Only, that ROM was on Android 5.1.1, which was contemporary to when it was flashed. I wanted 6.0.1, so I went about getting it. I eventually got that up and running with Resurrection Remix, but the battery life was completely awful. Idle is okay, but using the device results in completely intolerable battery life. I asked Reddit what to do, and someone recommend crDroid for it's great battery life. I attempted to install that, and that's where I got the problems discussed in this post.
Post where I got the ROM and GApps from
Specific ROM and GApps I got:
- crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985
- So I go the one for Android 6.0.1, and the most recent one at that, last updated on the 18th of January, for my G3 model the vs985
- for GApps, I selected "ARM", "6.0", and "Stock" from the menu
Could another problem be that the ROM is 6.0.1, and the GApps are 6.0? If so, open GApps version exists of 6.0.1.
Basically, I downloaded the two zip files, the ROM and the GApps. I then formatted my device, wiped it, did a real quick, skip through everything set-up of my current ROM, enabled USB debugging, copied the two zip files (ROM and GApps, both of which were inside a folder I made called ROM) onto my devices internal storage (I don't have an SD Card), and rebooted into recovery. I'm using Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) v2.8.6.1 if that's helpful at all. Once in recovery, again I wiped the device (using the default wipe function in TWRP, then doing an advanced wipe and specifically selecting cache and Dalvik Cache, just to make sure), and went to flash the ROM, finally. I navigated to the ROM folder it was located it, selected it, and swiped to flash the ROM. I got the following in response:
Installing '/sdcard/ROM/crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985.zip'
...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Checking for BASEBAND version 35B

So basically it failed to flash, apparently because of both an unsupported baseband version and a failure to execute a certain binary. Well, if you know how to fix the executing issue, that'd be great, although that's now what I'm focusing on here. I'm focusing on the baseband, because I believe that may be causing the failure to execute (although, as a newbie, I'm not sure if that's actually true). Apparently it was looking for version 35B, and that's not what I was running. When I set up my current ROM again just to be able to use the device, and checked for the baseband verion, it simply says "Unknown". Also, if you check out that link to the post above, it says:
We're mainly based on CyanogenMod so use custom kernels compatible with them!

. Well, I never installed a custom kernel, but I assume my friend did, because when looking at the kernel version on my phone it says:
3.4.0-CM-g74498f7
[email protected] #1
Mon Dec 14 09:48:16 EST 2015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
I'm assuming if it was a non-custom kernel it would just have multiple numbers separated by periods, not have all that info, and it specifically says "CM" in there, so I assume that should work, but am not for certain.
Anyway, back to the baseband. It was looking for a baseband version 35B, which I apparently don't have. I have a few questions about this
1. How are you supposed to know your baseband version if your settings app returns "Unknown"?
2. How are you supposed to know what baseband versions work and what baseband versions don't work on the ROM you plan on flashing prior to doing so? I saw nothing about this from from start to failure to install.
3. If the ROM I intend to flash doesn't support my baseband version, can I install a custom baseband version?
I will admit, I don't even know what a baseband is, and I'm too tired to look it up as I write this.
So that's it. I realize this post is incredibly long but feel like if it was shorter, potentially important information would be nixed. I have a TL;DR below for your convenience, but as I just said, to get all the important information, read everything above, please.
TL;DR:
Tried to install a new ROM
Failed
Failing apparently due to unsuppported baseband version
I can't determine my baseband version b/c my settings app returns "Unknown""
If baseband is unsupported, how do I know which are?
Also apparently "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/ROM/crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985.zip' " is a thing. Caused by unsupported baseband version or entirely different problem all together?
Also maybe the ROM being 6.0.1 and the openGApps being 6.0 is a problem? If so, no openGApps 6.0.1 exist.
Please read the whole post to get all the detail needed.
NeatAndClean,
Thank you for providing the detailed information in this thread, so let's get to business.
First thing I want to straighten out is that you said your Baseband Version says "Unknown", i think you should check your IMEI information, if your IMEI is "null" then there is another problem to fix first.
If you have tried restoring from a backup after the "Baseband Unkown" issue and the Baseband Version still says "Unknown", then something happened whilst, or after you tried flashing CrDroid. At this moment I am not so knowledgeable about how to fix the Unkown Baseband issue, but it is a well known problem and usually coincides with the IMEI "null" issue. If you still are having that problem, I will try to find out how to fix it.
However, I will provide you with my full answer so this can hopefully get fixed at your preferred pace.
To start out, my questions are:
1. What ROM/Version of that ROM are you running right now? (I assume it is Resurrection Remix 6.0.1?)
2. Do you have a backup before trying to flash CrDroid? If so, I would suggest restoring from your backup to fix your "Settings Unkown" issue.
Once your Baseband "Unknown" problem is fixed, you can continue on to flash CrDroid (This time, it should work). Now I just downloaded the CrDroid zip file, that you used, on my PC. And just from opening it I can already tell that it is deeply based on CyanogenMod, but with some tweaks to make it CrDroid. Reason I mention this is because of this quote:
We're mainly based on CyanogenMod so use custom kernels compatible with them!

I'm not super knowledgeable on downloading Custom Kernels, but i do know that your Kernel:
3.4.0-CM-g74498f7

is (I'm 99%sure) a CyanogenMod Custom Kernel, which comes when you flash a CM ROM.
Mine is:
3.4.0-CM-gc6520f1
[email protected] #1

and I'm running CyanogenMod 13, 6.0.1 on my vs985. Point is, you should be all set to flash CrDroid based on your Kernel.
Now, the "Unsupported Baseband" issue when flashing, at least CM based ROMs, is a known error recently. (In the past year I'd say) So the very common way to get around this, without having any issues, is to:
1. Go into your downloaded ROM zip, the zip you wish to flash, in your case it's crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985.zip.
2. Extract the files into a folder (I'd recommend naming the folder the name of the .zip file, for ease in the end)
3. Open the extracted files folder
4. Open "META-INF" ==> "com" ==> "google" ==> "android"
5. Within that "android" folder, open "updater-script" file with Notepad, or a similar text editor.
6. Delete this line of code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "g3" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "g3" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "vs985" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "vs985" || abort("This package is for device: g3,vs985; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + ".");
assert(g3.verify_baseband("35B:MPSS.DI.2.0.1.C1.13.4-00005") == "1");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. You should be left with "ui_print("Target: lge/g3_vzw....." in your case.
8. Overwrite the edited "updater-script" back to it's directory (the android folder)
9. (Make sure you don't save it as a .txt file, it should still be a "File" (no extension))
10. Now go back to the "crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985" folder after editing and saving "updater-script"
11. Select all the files/folders within, and add them to a .zip archive (Recommended by using WinRar)
12. You should end up with a .zip file visually identical to the original crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985.zip, except this one has the edited "updater-script"
13. The edited one^ is the only one you need now, and is the one you will be flashing
14. Also, if you're curious I have done this many times with CyanogenMod, on vs985, and can assure you nothing bad will come of this... I assume the same is with CrDroid as it is deeply based on CM. (As long as you're "Unknown Baseband" problem has been fixed.
This procedure essentially gets rid of the Baseband/Model Check, ensuring a successful flash. Also as you can see in the code, it checks for the 35B:MPSS.DI.2.0.1.C1.13.4-00005 Baseband/Modem version, I believe "xdabbed" makes a flashable version of the 35B:MPSS.DI.2.0.1.C1.13.4-00005 Modem, which should eliminate the need to edit the updater-script. However, I strongly recommend to do the "updater-script" fix rather than trying to flash a different Baseband, as I have heard flashing a new Baseband can easily brick your phone, and you really do not need to do it.
I have Baseband: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00008, which does not match the "Baseband Check" and my ROM still works like a charm after the updater-script fix.
However, before you flash the edited crdroid-6.0.1-20160118-vs985.zip with your TWRP seperately, with the Marshmallow (6.x) ROMs right now, if you plan on using GApps you need to flash the ROM AND the GApps file at the same time in your custom recovery. Otherwise you will most likely get errors and you will need to re-flash the ROM and GApps.
Also maybe the ROM being 6.0.1 and the openGApps being 6.0 is a problem? If so, no openGApps 6.0.1 exist.

To answer this, no it is not a problem, you were correct.
1. The LG G3 is an ARM device
2. GApps only uses the first two digits in the OS version (i.e. 5.0.x or 6.0.x) (<==That "x" variable is the third digit in the OS version, and does not matter in GApps
3. All in all you have the correct version of GApps, no you just need to flash it at the same time as your edited ROM.
The procedure you did to flash the ROM was all good:
Basically, I downloaded the two zip files, the ROM and the GApps. I then formatted my device, wiped it, did a real quick, skip through everything set-up of my current ROM, enabled USB debugging, copied the two zip files (ROM and GApps, both of which were inside a folder I made called ROM) onto my devices internal storage (I don't have an SD Card), and rebooted into recovery. I'm using Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) v2.8.6.1 if that's helpful at all. Once in recovery, again I wiped the device (using the default wipe function in TWRP, then doing an advanced wipe and specifically selecting cache and Dalvik Cache, just to make sure), and went to flash the ROM, finally

This is great, again the reason it didn't work was because of the mismatch in the Baseband Check, which shouldn't persist after following the instructions in the "updater-script" fix.
Anyway, back to the baseband. It was looking for a baseband version 35B, which I apparently don't have. I have a few questions about this
1. How are you supposed to know your baseband version if your settings app returns "Unknown"?
2. How are you supposed to know what baseband versions work and what baseband versions don't work on the ROM you plan on flashing prior to doing so? I saw nothing about this from from start to failure to install.
3. If the ROM I intend to flash doesn't support my baseband version, can I install a custom baseband version?
I will admit, I don't even know what a baseband is, and I'm too tired to look it up as I write this.

1. The Baseband Version is not supposed to state "Unknown", as i said in the beginning, this is a problem that happens sometimes, I am not sure why, or exactly how to fix it, but if you do some research I'm sure you will find something, I will also do some research so I can try to help you with that if it is not fixed by a Factory Reset or a Restore from Backup
2. The Baseband Version that a specific ROM calls for will be in that "updater-script" I was talking about, at least that's how it is for CyanogenMod based ROMs. I think your stock Baseband Version will work with any custom ROM, as long as it is a ROM made for your specific phone. That being said, I do think that the latest Baseband Version for your specific phone does improve Network, Cellular and GPS Connectivity, but again I do not recommend venturing there yet, until you have alot of background on it and can do it safely.
3. If the ROM you intend to flash doesn't support your Baseband, chances are the ROM is not made for your phone or you somehow have a Custom Baseband that is not made for your phone. I say that because even though you get that Baseband error when flashing CM based ROM, it is still supported, it's just that you do not have the "latest" Baseband Version I believe.
I do believe I have answered all of your questions, at least I hope so. I'm sorry that some things I could not answer in great detail, but I tried my best so that you could continue on enjoying your device. I also have the VS985 so I'm familiar with the device.
Summary:
1. Before anything try to Restore from Backup to fix the Baseband "Unknown" issue, as fixing this is priority. If that does not work I will try to find a fix online, or you can try to beat me to it.
2. Once that is fixed^ you can carry on with the "updater-script" fix i included.
3. Then flash the edited ROM and your 6.0, ARM OpenGApps at the same time (one right after another, without a Reboot in between)
4. Then you should honestly be all set
5. Your Kernel is all set for CrDroid
6. The GApps you said you downloaded is all good for the CrDroid version you downloaded
7. You could also try to flash back to vs985 stock (10B) this will hopefully give you your Baseband back if you still need it after Restoring from Backup
7. You should get no errors now! Yay. Now you can enjoy a Battery Optimized beautiful Marshmallow ROM

Please let me know if you have any confusion, I would be happy to provide you with clarification, screenshots etc.
I've run into a huge issue. My phone is semi-bricked now, and I don't know what to do. I was getting the baseband version error as well, and I removed the lines in the script and then it failed stating "wrong footer". I tried first installing CM, then like a fool, I installed Cyanogen Recovery over TWRP. Cyanogen Recovery can't do anything. But the install failed. I no longer have any version of Android on my phone, I can't install that baseband package with Cyanogen Recovery. Stock ROMs all come back "wrong footer" as well. I can't install anything. I have Fastboot/ADB installed. Please help!
Edit: I'm not sure if Fastboot is actually working. I can't get it to do anything. It just hangs on whatever command I give it, and it continues to hang until I unplug USB, then fails.

First off, in my response to @NeatAndClean I said to have the Baseband error fixed before proceeding, which is probably what caused your error.
For your Fastboot issue;
1. Make sure you are using the original Slimport cable (over-suggested, I know, just making sure)
2. Try USB 2.0 ports if you got them, if not, give this a shot forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256359
3. Try updating the phone's drivers
4. Otherwise, reinstall fastboot/ADB drivers or SDK Tools
5. Alternatively try this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Assuming you have a VS985, here are stock IMG files:
forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
(If you do not have VS985 just find your Model's stock IMG files)
Here are commands you can use in fastboot once you manage to get it working, which will hopefully bypass your "Wrong Footer" issue. Obviously use your stock IMG files.
I would normally recommend flashing full stock TOT with LGFlashTool, but I'm not sure if it may worsen your Unknown Baseband issue (i.e. You may erase your IMEI if you Factory Reset when you have the Unknown Baseband problem) Here is everything you would need for the TOT Method: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 - Also the old .dll needed for LGFlashTool probably won't work, so search LGUP_8974.dll and use that alongside the TOT instead) <== This should work if nothing else does, however, I don't think it will fix you "Unknown Baseband" but it may... I am not sure.
Finally, if you have ever made a previous backup, and still have it, if you restore from that your Baseband should re-appear and the error should fix itself. (I just figured you tried this already)
I once got the Unknown Baseband and IMEI - null issue, you could try to flash the stock Modem.img file for your phone, and try an IMEI injector program using the IMEI number in the battery compartment (Under the physical battery) But to fix mine I ended up calling the Customer Service and they eventually pushed an update file to my phone. I assume it was a Modem update of some sort, but it was a long time ago so I honestly don't remember.
I wish you good luck, as I know how frustrating these situations are. And keep in mind, I am only trying to help.
Please, to anyone experiencing the "Unknown Baseband Version" issue, focus on that before anything else, as you will most likely worsen your problem the more you do with the issue persisting.

Up until this point, I've only had the phone stock with the OTA updates from Verizon. It was updated the day I got the phone, so the baseband must be official, even if not supported by CyanogenMod. I wanna say it's 23B. I tried everything to get fastboot to work. I'm using the original cable that came with the phone "LG Electronics DC1501" plugged directly into a USB 2.0 port on my motherboard. If fastboot doesn't work, I can't flash imgs. An OS doesn't exist. I don't have a versatile recovery (Cyanogen Recovery might as well be stock). You say there's a chance TOT method will erase my IMEI, but you say there is an IMEI injector that can restore it, correct?
At this point, I'm at a loss. I really don't know what else can be done. I'm going to give the TOT method a shot. The website you linked has been suspended, so I'm following the 2015 updated method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

OMG! It worked! My phone's still activated, so no problems with IMEI. I may be coming on kinda strong, but I LOVE YOU! I spent several hours yesterday, and I've been stressing about it ever since. I even put in a repair request with LG...now I can cancel that request. Thank you thank you thank you!

@Knux Kitsune Haha I'm glad that you finally got it working, I apologize about the problem with the link... I think I messed up all of the links in my response I'll fix those for the future. But again I'm just glad you got it working with no more problems, thanks for being so patient, XDA is like the best forum out there IMO.
Also, just curious, if you don't mind responding.. I was just wondering, did you use the KDZ method from the link you posted? Just want to know so that I know how many solutions there are for problems like these.
Anyway, enjoy your "new" phone lol, and be careful in the future because I know how painful these situations can be!
Glad you got it fixed!

I actually downloaded the KDZ, but I used the TOT method. I actually almost did it again, because in KitKat, my connection was very unstable, I did install the 35B baseband from XDABBEB, but that didn't fix the problem. I tried updating the firmware legitimately via LG Upgrade Assistant Utility (Verizon), but it kept giving an error everytime it got to 20%. I found no support online to get past this error, so I looked into stock ROMs and found XDABBEB (again) had built a flashable stock ROM for my phone, identical to what Verizon released last month, but with root access. I flashed TWRP 3.0 with Flashify, then flashed the ROM. The first time I flashed it, the phone showed that the phone service had stopped responding, a dialog box that only comes up once per cycle...super annoying. I managed to get back into Flashify and attempted installing the ROM again. I was actually prepared to do another TOT flash if it still had issues, but the second time wiping and flashing worked. My connection is solid, and I've had no errors (so far). It seems to run faster on Marshmallow than it did on Lollipop. It's pretty much the end result I was going for when I tried upgrading some 35 hours ago.
Update: Apparently, my baseband is fixed now. It did say Unknown before, even after flashing the 35B baseband from XDABBEB (initially anyways, reflashed after wipe just before flashing the ROM), but now it says "VS985-MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13.4-00005-M8974AAAAANPZM-1"....so that's...good?

Awesome, well that's good that you eventually reached your goal. I can't say for sure why your connection was unstable on the Stock Kit Kat, but the 35B baseband is for 35B (5.1.1) Lollipop. The TOT method flashes back Stock Firmware, which is 10B (I believe 4.2.2) - KitKat so you would then need the Stock Modem IMG: (10B Modem File) but you are past that.. which is great. The Phone Service not responding is, I'm sure, a result of the incompatible 35B Modem mixing with 10B (4.2.2) Software Version. That's why flashing XDABBEB's Stock ROM fixed it (at least the second time around), because it includes all the stock IMGs, including the stock Baseband Version (10B).
But I'm so glad that you re-flashed and wiped again, because you have literally managed to return it to complete stock. Your baseband is official, and seems to me.. completely fixed!
Just confused with this:
It seems to run faster on Marshmallow than it did on Lollipop.

Are you running Marshmallow now? Or Kit Kat? I think I just lost you at some point haha.

Sorry, the stock ROM I used is http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
It's identical to what Verizon sent out last month except it is rooted, which I don't know why phone providers are so against letting their customers have full access to phones they either own or are leasing. I own this phone. It's paid in full. I want root access... Anyways, yes, it's Marshmallow.

Ohhh, I see. I totally agree with you, it really makes no sense... the phone was built a certain way, it was meant to be used like that. Why the providers "nerf" them, I don't know. Even with the FM radio, they disable the receiver on the phones, I assume so that we are forced to stream instead, and they make more money. It's absolute sh**. But yeah, alright well that's cool, I might have to flash that myself actually, Marshmallow is lookin' really nice, as long as the battery life ain't too bad I'm gonna test it out myself!
Excuse me, first i´m sorry for my bad english language. I have same problem the unsupported baseband, but till now i just feel confused. I flash the Resurrection Remix Nougat on twrp and says unsupported baseband error. What should i do first? Flash the new baseband? If it yes, which baseband version is suitable for my device. Im using LG d855 and running android 6. Or i must unlock bootloader before flashing the new ROM? Thankyou, hope anyone will answer my stupid question.
I am using micromax q372 smartphone, had an android 5.0 stock ROM, and now i have installed resurrection remix 5.5.9, and my DEVICE OFFICIALY DOESN'T SUPPORT, and I garbed all of my luck and installed it, and now I have a fully working custom ROM on a unsupported device, the only problem I had was with the data connection, and I sorted it out, now everything is working, .............now I want to install resurrection remix 5.9.X , and my device doesn't is not on the support list, so ....can I do it , without any bugs? .......plz advice me
