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 Fastboot
-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

WHAT YOULL NEED
Micro Usb

LG FlashTool

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:
