You can now root the latest ZVA update for the Sprint LG G3, model no. LS990! Earlier, the carrier released the ZVA update to LG G3, that introduced a new feature to the device called Factory Reset Protection, something that’s been increasingly made available via update to many popular flagship devices in recent months by various OEMs. If you took the ZVA OTA update, it would unroot your phone.
