Factory unlocked G4 (US991) won't download latest software via LG's tool

The latest version of the LG software for their unlocked phone is US99122a, which is Marshmallow. Trying to use software tool, it connects, correctly tells me that the phone is running US99111a (5.1) but incorrectly tells me that I have the latest version of the software.

I also get the same result trying to update in the update center on the phone.

Now, the plan was to use the phone with Cricket, but they claim that they don't push any updates, at all, even for phones they sell. ..

(TANGENT ALERT I had a rep from Cricket get SO vehement that the updates come from the manufacturer that he got on a three-way call with LG, and had them say so. Oh, was he livid when the LG rep verified that the carriers release their own updates. END TANGENT ALERT)

...So right now I've got no guarantee that I'll get the update if I go ahead and set up an account with them.

Has anyone else had trouble using LG's update tool like this?

I was planning to keep this phone unrooted and stock, but that's starting to seem an unviable option if I want to run Marshmallow.

I'd be happy just getting LG's stock software running. Suggestions for best next move? Is there a pristine copy of it somewhere, and do they have an Odin-analogue?
