Flashable stock ROMS are gaining popularity these days due to its ease of installation. The ROM can be flashed right through a custom recovery like the TWRP. Here is one such stock ROM available for the Sprint LG G3 LS990. The best part about this flashable ROM is that it’s already rooted. So you can access root files or install root apps readily. Using this, you can also remove bloatware from your Sprint firmware. Moreover, the ROM is based on ZVB firmware version for the LG G3 LS990.

If you have already installed TWRP on your Sprint LG G3 and don’t want to go through all the tiring process of restoring back to stock recovery, stock firmware, unrooting etc., then here is a chance to get updated to the ZVB firmware without any modifications. However, you need a TWRP recovery installed on your device and the firmware file in your device’s internal storage.
