Mine is on Lollipop too. You can if you wish try downloading the latest firmware manually. Check LG's website.

Thanks for your repliy if i understand that its basicly download a usb driver and then some softrware right?

If you're doing to update using your PC, then you have to download the LG driver. The update is just a single file. You may also have to download LG's ROM installation program. (Or the update may come in a form that can be installed from an SD card. LG sometimes has more than one way of doing things. For instance, their ROMS [if you want to reflash the entire ROM] come in 2 file formats, and each one takes a different LG installation program.)

Remember, though - if your carrier hasn't written a modification to allow Marshmallow to run on the 855, there isn't one. Both LG and the carrier normally have to modify the stock Google version of a ROM to run in a particular phone.

Rukbat i know they have to modify it but i do know that for the D855 there is a version in the EU since 2016 and the latest that should arrive was in fall of 2017.

But is that the only way of updating it from a trusted source?

I ought to say that I haven't done it with mine. Lollipop is running well on it and I see no great advantage in Marshmallow.

 

[Rukbat]

The only ways of updating it are finding a ROM for your model phone of the version you want, or downloading an AOSP (stock Android) ROM and modifying it to run on your phone.

Well I thought I'd go ahead and upgrade via the LG Mobile Support Tool. All went well.
