This tutorial is the method I used to put Fulmics on the vs985.

I just went through the procedure again yesterday for someone else's phone and itb went seamlessly from Tot'ing 10b to making the backup of Fulmics 6.9 to the phone for them.

My full procedure from 10b to Fulmics.

This video is where it starts for me, it's where I got the software and procedure to start with.

The video has the links needed to the LG firmware, software and drivers.

You will need a windows computer preferably with Windows 7 on it and you'll need to use a 2.0 USB port.

From stock 10b you are going to want to root. I use the ioRoot method in this video.

Again there are other methods, these are the method I used. (I didn't use stump root or TWRP manager)

After root you need TWRP to flash zips.

I was able to flash the latest version 3.0.2-0

I used Flashify to load 3.0.2-0

Once you have TWRP you can flash just about anything.

(with the right order and modem's/bootstacks).

Ok, now that we are rooted with updated TWRP, let's start.

In TWRP queue to be flashed.

*12b bootstack

*24b bootstack

*35b bootstack

*Fulmics 6.6

*35b bootstack again

*SuperSU

*Mr.Bump

The bootstacks will fill in the otas missing to get you from 10b to MM (Marshmallow).

And then you flash 35b again to make sure you don't lose your IMEI/data info.

And for good measure we'll use Mr.Bump to push SuperSU 2.79 through.

Ok so when you do the above flash you want to start by making sure you have a good working backup saved to your SDCard, because you are going to wipe everything on the phone but the SDCard and "Clean" flash your files from it.

Side note:

(Wiping internal storage gets rid of any residual folders or files left over from any Apps, Roms or Mods from past installations, that could cause glitches, problems or compatibility issues).

When the Rom flashes it uses an Aroma installer, go through and select your variant and preferences, me personally I kept everything stock, (aside from gapps and stock LG apps I didn't want) and I don't have any mods, other than Viper4Android which you will want if you're into audio at all, like me.

(Edit: after Rom was flashed I deleted Viper4Android that comes with the Rom I liked version: V4A_MM_2.4.0.1 better)

Ok at the end of the installer where it asks you to "reboot device now", uncheck that so it can go back into TWRP and flash the rest of the installation.

It will flash 35b then SuperSU then Mr.Bump.

When Mr.Bump is "done" in TWRP it will reboot without confirmation, it will bootloop once before it boots to the Rom.

(Do not interrupt it, let it get to your new installation screen, normal boot time after quick bootloop).

Here are SuperSU and Mr Bump downloads:

SuperSU v2.79.zip:

Download

Mr.Bump.zip:

Download

You get everything in place and ready to go and it shouldn't take you more than 15-20 minutes or so to get to your home screen. (don't quote me on that, let it get to the new installation screen, but it should be pretty normal procedure.)

After 6.6 is setup you can flash the ota 6.8-6.9 (I skipped 6.7) (Don't forget to make a backup of your new installation to be able to restore if anything goes wrong so you'll be able to restore it)

Remember if things go Haywire you can restore your backup from TWRP.

Just "clean wipe" everything but SDCard to restore your backup.

Let me know if you think this sounds pretty straightforward or if you've got any questions ask before you start.

I can't say for sure if the old methods that I used this what makes mine work without any flaws, but I'm one to not fix something that's not broke.

This is the stuff that has always worked for me. I have soft bricked two or three times (Red/Blue LED, No IMEI) and this is the software/firmware, methods that I use to get myself back in order again.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

Report back an let us know how it goes.

Edited:

Someone sent me their soft bricked phone and I just went through this procedure yesterday and it worked flawlessly.

Different variants take different procedures and/or modems/bootstacks to work without issues, this tutorial made putting Fulmics on the vs985 work "out of the box" the first time flashed.
