Can anyone tell me if it's possible to root the VS986 running the new MM 6.0 26A edition. If not, is it possible to downgrade to an older version which can be rooted?

Verify Your Account VS986 G4
Hi everyone,
So my Verizon G4 VS986 recently had a bootloop issue and was sent in to LG to fix the phone. They sent it back and what they said they did was to replace the flash memory. Obviously the phone has been reset and all my data is wiped as warned before I sent the phone in. The phone now boots up but I'm stuck at verify your account. I logged in to my google account on this phone and after two step verification was a success, I still cannot move forward and am stuck at the verify your account.
I looked into this issue online and found that this is part of the Factory Reset Protection built into 5.1. In either case, I did not change my password to my google account at all, it is still the same password, so the 72 hour wait rule shouldn't apply here at all. I also can't bypass the protection either since some of the methods require that you go into the Accessibility as seen here through this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/g...count-t3223518 . My issue is that that Accessibility menu is not present on the initial screen, only language and moving forward.
So what are my options now? Contact LG about my issue or is there a way I can contact Google? Is it possible that the original account information is stored on the flash memory which LG replaced and now the account I need to log in is of some different user? If that's the case, am I forever stuck on this screen and this phone is effectively dead? Or is there something I can do that I haven't discovered yet? If anyone could help, it'd be a great help, thank you.

LG-G4 (VS986) and very odd camera-related crash
I have an LG-G4 (VS986 - Verizon), rooted (13b). On three occasions over the past week, the phone has hard-crashed (totally powered off immediately and unexpectedly, and would NOT power up, even after a battery pull). In each case, the only way to bring it back to life was to plug it into a charger, which booted it up when the power button was held - but in every case the battery was at least 80% charged at the time of the crash (and I tried two different batteries), so it wasn't a power issue. It only happened when using the camera (actually taking pictures, not browsing through the gallery). It doesn't occur every time (I shot about 15 pictures this morning, and it didn't reproduce the crash).
I also have noticed that the pictures do not flip vertically/horizontally during viewing (usually in QuickPic but also in Gallery) but Advanced Tools says the accelerometer, etc. are working fine. Tis is also recent.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks in advance...!
