Solution: Needed ZV8 modem, that's all.
First of all, let me get this out of the way: the only access to being able to search the forums is via the XDA premium app, and I can't seem to figure out how to make it search for complete terms so when I search for "ls980 won't boot past lg logo" it searches for each word rather than the whole search term, so I end up with results for people wanting to make a logo for something, or talking about other LG phones, etc. So I apologize if this question has been answered a million times before, I personally have had no luck manually searching for an answer.
Basically, my issue is that my brand new insurance replacement LS980 won't boot past the LG logo when flashing things like the lollipop version of AICP. I've tried flashing a few different baseband and modems because I vaguely remember having this issue before when ZVA was still new, that most AOSP roms would fail to boot if you were still on ZV7 or ZV8, or were testing a version of ZVC.
So, can someone tell me what I need to flash to be able to run lollipop roms? IIRC I had this issue with some CM11 based roms too, but not all of them (as I'm currently running the very last AICP before they transitioned the nightly to lollipop)

If you still have custom recovery. Is it TWRP at 2.8.1 or higher.
Download zv8 modem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426
Wipe everything but internal. Flash ROM, radio, gapps. Boot.
This is how we upgraded zva to zvc on d3rp.

Ah! That's the issue! I was assuming it needed a more recent radio, like ZVA or ZVC. Didn't think ZV8 would be the one. Thank you!

Have you unlocked your bootloader ?
No not too sure how to do that. Any good threads you guys reccomend.
Many thanks
So I know this is scary for you and because it is something new, therefore be sure that you want to live with the responsability if something goes wrong.
Now, the next forum thread tells you how to flash an already rooted image BUT, and this is very important, this works only if you have the version 10c installed (Check in About Phone>Software Version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765
If you have the latest version of the software (20a) the best thing is to unlock your bootloader, void your warranty in the process, and flash a custom recovery. After that, you just need to flash the SuperSu zip file and you will have root.
To flash custom ROMs, just access recovery and flash the zip file of your ROM.
I'm using the unofficial CM13.0 and works very good for me, but I do miss the official camera app.
Thankyou very much for your advice okarr. Will look into this
I'm tired of the problems and struggle I've had attempting to use my rooted G4. I'm currently on 13b rooted and it's been giving me problems. It randomly reboots and doesn't start up at times. And it's so sluggish. I've gotten a replacement because I flashed the wrong kdz. I just want my phone to work without all these problems. I just want to get to the stock Verizon MM for my G4. Is this possible?
You should be able to flash the MM kdz - they can be found here in the general section. Be sure to verify it is the correct kdz.
Keep in mind once you go to MM you won't be able to achieve root without downgrading back to LP. I think there is a downgrade thread here in general as well if you need it.

Thank you I just downloaded the KDZ and flashed via LG UP. It installed without any problems. I'm aware that you can't root on MM, I'm ok with that. I need a break from rooting after all of this. Thank you I appreciate it!
Glad to see someone here not happy with rooting the G4. I don't find it worth the risk or the benefits worth it without the ability to flash custom roms. I've never rooted a phone without there being a way to install a custom recovery.
For anyone interested, The Android Central podcast discussed the topic of rooting and flashing roms a bit on their most recent episode. Most of them agreed that there isn't as much of a need anymore to root and flash roms and that it's kind of died down a bit. Features that people used to have to root their phones for are now available on most stock roms.

how to install LGUP tool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igB5rnLRXSc&spfreload=10
i know at the end of the video it says close the app, but dont, just start it and you be upgraded to MM in no time just make sure upgrade is checked
if you want to start fresh, then you can just do what my video says to get refurbished checked
if you upgrade with a rooted rom you have to factory reset your phone inorder for MM to boot
@ day ago I set off on a journey to root my phone so I could get xposed to work with pokemon go. I Followed a couple guides and every site stated that you need Twrp. The thing is im running marshmallow on the D850 and any time I try to boot my phone in recovery I get "boot verification failed" and get a black screen with the notification flashing and this even prevents me from even doing a factory reset. From lurking the forums i've learned that the best way to fix is to flash back to an older version of android but most of these guides seen old and out dated and I cant seem to find a kdz for the D850 . Thank you and your help will be very much appreciated.

If you dont find an mm kdz jut flash a lolipop kdz by using lg up....
The only way to go back to stock firmware on D850 is to flash a tot file using LG Flash tool (as no other method is currently available).
You can follow this guide for that purpose

Hello guys,
I have a LG G3 d855 EUR (i live in Italy) stock firmware V30c-EUR-XX, no root, no custom rom.
Since i'm pretty new to Android modding, i want to ask for your help because i would install the best custom rom available for my device.
So, which is the best rom? Can i have a step by step tutorial for rooting my device and installing the rom?
I would like to maintain the stock camera quality, i've heard that custom roms may decrease the overall photos quality.
Thanks in advance, i really appreciate your help. :good:

Hello, since this is General.. Question shouldn't post here but anyway, have you heard Fulmics? It is developed by xpirt and will transform your G3 to G5..
You can use that ROM because it is the most reliable ROM i'll ever use on my G3.. Don't worry about the camera quality since it is stock based ROM, you won't lose anything..
Please note that my G3 is korean variant ( F400L ) and not international ( D855 ).. So my choices is a bit limited here.. Don't worry tho because Fulmics support most variant of G3's..
Let's Start!
How to root? First you need to go back to Lollipop, How? If Sony, there is Flashtool but with LG, we can use LGUP and flash the stock kdz/tot there.. Please download the right kdz for your device btw..
And there is many ways to root such as Kingroot or OneClick..
Note that, if you're using Kingroot.. Don't mind about their bloatware because we're going to update to Marshmallow anyway..
After it is done, you need to install TWRP.. You're so lucky because there are many way to install TWRP and the most easiest way is using AutoRec
( BEWARE, IF YOU INSTALLED THE WRONG VARIANT FOR YOUR DEVICES..THIS MAY LEAD TO HARD BRICK! )
AutoRec can be downloaded from Playstore, you need to find the right one for example.. You got D855, so you need to download Autorec Lollipop for D855.. Don't install the one for F400 or else, goodbye to your G3 forever.. Yup, easiest way can be the most risky way to go..
While busy with rooting and installing recovery, download the ROM you want.. As example, download the latest Fulmics 6.9 ROM for G3 and transfer it to root directory of your SD Card..
After you have TWRP installed, boot to TWRP.. If you found it is hard to boot to recovery with those stupid combination key.. Just download an apps called ... Boot.... hmm.. whatever it is.. I'll forgot, just find an apps that can help you boot to recovery easily i guess..
If you succeed to boot to recovery, congratulation.. Now do wipe data cache and install the ROM ( Fulmics 6.9 as example ).. After that, reboot the device and enjoy!
Since my G3's is already dead a long time ago ( bluescreen and flicker ), that's all i can help by typing all of this using my G4.. Goodluck!

Are you sure there is no QFUSE which is blown when you downgrade? Because i've read and heard about it. It's dangerous to downgrade, someone got stuck on 5% and had the secure boot error which is an indication of QFUSE.

The downgrade is mandatory for rooting the device, right? Is there a root for Android 6.0 too? :/
I'm a bit confused...

QFUSE was supposed to be a downgrade protection which triggers when someone flashes in download mode a version of android lower than the current one. I have no idea why, if you access the hidden menu, and find DRM, you find QFUSE there. It was supposed to, like said before, be a fuse which is triggered by a downgrade.
