So I currently am running Android 5.1 with Root. What do I need to do to upgrade to 6.0? Is there any special step? Do I have to unroot and re-root? Let me know.
First, Marshmallow has not yet been released for the Verizon G4 (VS986). So you cannot upgrade to MM at this time and will have to wait for Verizon to release the update. Nobody knows when that will be, but as of yesterday, all 3 other major carriers have released MM for their G4s.
Second, you will not be able to root Marshmallow on the VS986 since that particular model has a locked bootloader. With Marshmallow, Google added some new flags to the boot.img (kernel and ramdisk) to prevent root that have to be flipped in order to allow root, otherwise you just bootloop. But without an unlocked bootloader, you will not be able to flash a custom boot.img. Without an unlocked bootloader, there is little hope at this time for root on the stock LG Marshmallow ROM. If you want to keep root, you need to stay on 5.1.
Still not getting update

Hi this may sound dumb, and sorry if it is.
I have a LG G3 running 4.4 KitKat when lollipop came out I upgraded but I did not get on with it so I went back to 4.4 and waited for marshmallow, now that's almost here.
"My question is" will I need to upgrade to lollipop and then to marshmallow OR will it just update strate to marshmallow ??????
Many Thanks Paul
It's LG D855 in the UK and not tied to a network.

I think it will require you to OTA update to Lollipop first and then update to Marshmellow
But if you want to skip that you can always install Marshmellow manually when the KDZ comes out for your variant in the UK
The answer to this is yes. I was running stock KK 4.4.1 and I got fed up with waiting for my MM update so I used this (http://www.droidviews.com/install-marshmallow-kdz-lg-g3-d855-using-flash-tool/) it took me about ten minutes and was so easy I'd wish I done it weeks ago. But before I did I update to LP first as I didn't know if some code was used from LP in MM, so I done the OTA update to LP first and by doing I found 4 other updates waiting to install. So I would be still waiting in till the end of time for my OTA MM update. So I would suggest this kzd update to anyone even amateurs. My G3 D885 is now running 6.0 and haven't found any problems yet.

Hey guys im probably miasing out i dont really check the g3 news or xda but i do know there's marshamallow update coming out to g3 already.
Im using the D855 version and when i check the updates on the update center it shows me this.?
The latest updates on phone is the 2014 version. Its not showing the marshmallow update is it because my device is rooted?
Or its just that D855 hasnt received the mm update yet?
Thanks
first of all, if you don't know yet, don't OTA when your phone is rooted. You have to unroot i you want to update OTA or via PC Suite.
second, only poland d855 has gotten marshmallow update. You can look around the forums in general section and android development section they are there.
Ok thanks

You will have to update your phone via the PC-Program "LG-PC Suite".
Be aware that there might still be a little wait (up to 3 weeks) until it becomes available in your country. Also, you will lose root after updating. If that's a problem check for a working marshmallow root method prior updating.
Does anyone know a MM custom rom for the LG G4 stylus H540?

there is none because the boot loader is locked and unlockable ........there is marshmallow stock for the H540F and i have been trying to flash it but to no avail. It should be able to flash because they have the same processors etc etc, and i also flashed H540F Lollipop 5.0 to my H540 but for some reason the marshmallow won't flash
Hi guys, I think you can now update to marshmallow using LG Bridge tool!
Hello. I have an LG G4 US99122a running on MM 6.0. I wanted to root the phone but I have researched that currently bootloader is locked on this model and cannot be rooted. Should I downgrade it to it’s stock rom running LP 5.1 and then rooth it from there? Any suggestion is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, I have two G4 H815s. One is the SEA variant. I can update firmware, and use adb to reboot into bootloader. My other H815, however, is a "Global-Com"?? version, it's software is H81521z-GOBAL-COM. It will not boot into bootloader with adb (just reboots normally) and I can't find an update ROM (KDZ) for this phone. It currently has MM with 2015-11-01 security level. A 21z ROM?? I want to get the latest security level, and there appear to be no OTA updates available. Any advice? Thanks.
It may be some kind of developement phone or some broken/beta stuff. Your software looks to me like beta of G4 MM. Global com pretty much means h815 international version. You should try to recover the system with lg bridge.

Thanks, I may try to use LG Bridge. Will that also restore the adb bootloader capability? Also, am I right to assume LG will not provide the unlock.bin for this variant? Thanks again.
