[Sprint LG G3] Celly624:
FIX BRICKED LG G3 (LS990) "Stuck In FastBoot". "LG Security Error". "Factory Reset 2"

Hello Im posting my solution to how I had fixed my bricked LG G3 LS990. I bricked it a few days ago and searched tons of forums and youtube videos and it was tough trying to find a solution for this variant of the LG G3. And I had seen that everyone who was having the same problems I had couldnt find the solution either, but luckily somehow I had figured it out...I even took my phone to the Sprint store after my phone was getting "Security Error" and they couldnt even fix it and had to ship me a new one in which I no longer need since I fixed it myself...

My phone had went through these 3 phases in this order, so I also have the instructions in same order ( Be Sure To Follow All Directions Closely)

-Stuck In Reboot

-LG Security Error

-Factory Reset 2

SINCE THE LG G3 LS990 PHONE IS THE ONLY ONE IVE TRIED IT ON THEN IM ASSUMING ITLL ONLY WORK FOR THIS VARIANT, BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY FORUM POSTS WHERE ONE METHOD WORKS FOR MANY LG G3 VARIANTS.. JUST BE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT FILES FOR YOUR LG G3 VERSION

I followed these suggestion & it worked on my LS990 (Sprint G3) : On LG FlashTool I switched to Board DL instead of Upgrade DL

Your phone will reboot to the AAT Screen – Click OK (Yes, it says not to), then press normal boot (+power).

Your phone will reboot and all should be well.

It seems to have helped a few people get past that screen :laugh::cool:

Hopefully This Should Help Just About Everyone Having These Problems! :angel:
