I have had my G2 since the begining and never took an OTA. My baseband version is VS98010B, but I am running Malladus 1.2.9. Can I just flash a newer baseband, 11A, 12A, 12B or 24A?
I prob should just wipe and return to stock, and take the OTA like everyone is saying, but I am a believer of never taking the OTA. If I return to stock, will my nadroid backup from TWRP be removed and my whole phone be wiped back to default status? SDcard wiped?
Thanks,
Opie
Do not flash the 24a (4.4) baseband, 1. it won't work 2. It isn't the official update there are bugs. It shouldn't do any damage, you will have no radio but you should be able to flash back. I think you should be able to flash 12B baseband because it was mainly bug fixes for 4.2.2 but I'm not 100% sure. I would just wait until the official ota comes out then bite the bullet flash to stock 12B and update to KK from there following instructions on xda to retain root/recovery. There isn't really a huge performance difference
Edit:
If you use the lg flash tool to return to stock the entire phone will be erased

Yes, you can flash the 12b modem/radio. And yes everything will be wiped if you go back to stock.
I would recommend doing the tot back to stock 11a, taking the 12b ota, rooting and installing twrp, and then flashing the new kitkat malladus. You shouldn't have to worry about baseband if you do that.
Thanks for the answers. I guess I knew that the best would be to revert to stock and take the OTA. Just did not want to have to backup my SD card but it seems that it might the best to fix the minor issues I have.

I'm on the 10 or 11 aboot, not sure which. I have run aosp roms since they became available in Sep/Oct, so I never updated to the 12b aboot. If I continue running aosp roms, is there a need for me to update my aboot? Only reason I ask is I have been seeing mention of bug fixes in 12b and wondering if I would benefit from it. I already have the 12b baseband.
Thanks in advance!

No, probably no need to update unless the rom dev says to. I've been on 11a and 12b firmware, didn't notice any significant difference.
You can do it if you want tho, might be better to be up to date. Idk about aosp, but on stock based, 12b is the preferred firmware for that reason.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Was wondering can you flash VS980 on 26A to current verison 39A or whichever without a root or custom rom? If i have to root and /or custom rom can anyone give good suggestions? Thanks
I'm on 4.4.2 ls995zvb I rooted with stump root but my phone is saying it isn't rooted, how can I go back to stock 4.4.2 and reroot and what should I use to reroot.. I don't wanna brick my phone as it's the only phone I have till my upgrade
The downgrade wont be necessary.
I inadvertently UNrooted my LS995 by allowing the ota from ZVA to ZVB. Got it rerooted with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Don't worry that it says for G3 and such...it worked for me fine. Just follow the directions that come with it.
You'll need custom recovery. TWRP 2.8.5.0 is latest recommended for this phone. Use Flashify from PlayStore to flash JUST THE .IMG FILE, NOT THE WHOLE ZIP.
These methods got my Flex back on track with being rooted with custom recovery, and updating to ZVB.
Hope it helps...
Peace,

Root your device using lg 1 click root.
Download Autorec for ur variant from playstore, and install TWRP
Update TWRP to latest . ( for these steps, there's a guide i have written , you can check it for info)
Make a backup of your rom, and u can install any custom rom and experience them before u decide to make one your daily driver.
I just bought a VS980 slightly used, running 3AA stock. I rooted it with One Click Root method and flashed TWRP 2.8.6.1 with AutoRec. Would AutoRec have changed my partitions so that I can't go back to 26A?
I want to downgrade to 4.4.4 and flash the 26A tot file using LG Flashtools v. 1.8 and tot method. I have the 26A tot file and Verizon drivers etc. downloaded.
