This ROM is CM12 for the VS980 based on the Verizon LG G2's Lollipop update. It is different from the official CM11 and CM12 for the VS980 because those builds use LG's Jellybean kernel source merged into CAF's kernel source, and Jellybean blobs, and Jellybean modem; whereas this ROM uses LG's Lollipop kernel source and Lollipop blobs and the Lollipop modem.
For best results on this ROM, install the stock VS980 39A build, ensure your sensors, 4G/LTE, and GPS are working 100%, then backup your phone and EFS partition; then you can install
Issues:
Some people have reported getting soft reboots (crashing back to the boot animation). I'm not 100% sure as to what the cause is, or how to replicate the issue.
Requirements for this ROM:
1. You must be on the VS980 39A modem/bootstack
2. Your aboot version must be either from KitKat or Jellybean
March 21st, 2015
Uses newer CM source from March 21st. Also includes support for Android FLP, as well as a few GPS fixes here and there
Note: some users have reported soft reboots using Bluetooth, and GPS not locking in the previous builds.

Note: There may be regressions in this build as I could not test everything (this is the first build using VS980 39A blobs) so there may be something broken that I was not able to find. You should backup everything including your EFS partition before installing!
Uses newer source from March 14th, as well as blobs from the VS980 39A build (Note: You must be on the VS980 39A modem now). I've switched from Loki to Bump, so the 12B aboot is no-longer a requirement (you can use KitKat if you want, or you can stick with 12B). I have also switched to AndroidFileHost.com!

Second build, fixes the low memory killer being too aggressive and killing background apps too frequently, which caused screen redraws, chrome tabs reloading, etc. Also should fix the sensors being broken for those who came from Jellybean modems; so now you shouldn't have to go back to stock anymore to get working sensors. Early on in CM11, sometimes enabling bluetooth would cause the wifi/bluetooth card to crash and result in slugging performance and battery drain as the kernel endlessly tries to turn on bluetooth. I made it so if the card crashes, it will just re-init the wifi card, so it won't cause excess battery drain and sluggish performance if it crashes (I'm not sure if it is a problem with CM12, but it doesn't hurt having it there in case)

2014: Click to show the older CM11 (KitKat) builds and instructions
These builds from 2014 and no-longer truly supported
Note: if you are already on 24A, 25A, 25B, or 26A, or 27A root it, and proceed to step 5. If you are on Lollipop, you must KDZ back to a version of KitKat and then follow the instructions.
Warning: this process is not for beginners! Read the entire post before proceeding. Backup everything important first! It is important that your phone does not reboot until after you have completed all of the steps.
Click below to expand instructions
Step 1: Go back to build 12B (COMPLETELY STOCK!)
Step 2: Root 12B and install a Superuser package
Step 3: MAKING SURE YOU'RE ROOTED (There is no known root method after you're already on the KitKat OTA!)
Step 4: Follow this guide to upgrade your phone to build 24A (This is the stock software that this ROM is based on) At this point, make sure that your device has everything working (like 4G, and also get a GPS lock on the stock software before proceeding to step 5)
Step 5: At this point, you're on 24A and rooted; however, you cannot run custom boot images because the 24A OTA has patched the only known exploit which allows us to run custom boot images, so we must revert the one part that's exploitable to the 12B version. This file is called aboot, and is only a megabyte. However, this is imperative to boot your phone, so you CANNOT mess up this step. Failure to verify that your aboot download and flashing a broken aboot WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN A LEGITIMATE BRICK. So you MUST verify the download, and after pushing it to your device, you must verify that it is not broken in any way before writing the 24A aboot with the one from 12B. Download aboot from here and push it to your device. After pushing it to your device, run an md5sum check on it to ensure that the output is:
Step 6A: Now you're ready to write the downloaded aboot to your aboot partition. You must run this command as root:
Step 6B (April 6th edit): Mixing and matching the 4.2 aboot and 4.4 laf partition breaks download mode. The only way to fix it is to flash the 4.2 laf partition. Use this guide to fix your download mode with the following:
Step 7: THIS IS IMPORTANT! The old aboot is incompatible with the new boot image that comes from the 24A OTA, so you must install a boot image that's compatible with stock KitKat and also works with the old aboot, so download this boot image and verify its md5sum
and then write it to your boot partition with:
Step 8: Since you're only running stock 24A, you don't have a custom recovery! So download this TWRP custom recovery (which is already loki'ed) and verify its md5sum
and then write it to your recovery partition with:
Step 9: At this point, you will essentially be running 24A, with a exploitable aboot which allows for custom boot images. You also have a working boot and recovery image which is compatible with the exploitable aboot. The rest is normal ROM flashing, and is cruising from here on out.
Step 10: Take a breath
Step 11: Download the ROM from below
Step 12: Install ROM in recovery, if coming from a previous but recent CM11 build (say from within a week), you shouldn't have to do a factory reset, if you don't meet that criteria, just do a factory reset anyways.
Step 13 (Optional): Install a gapps package
Step 14: Reboot and enjoy!

About this ROM:
Official CM11 uses the proprietary binaries and libraries of the offical Android 4.2 build for the LG G2 (Jellybean).
Its kernel sources were merged into CAF kernel sources, and along the way, something happened where occasionally, the device won't wake up and reboot upon pressing the post button (commonly called an SOD).
This ROM is based on the CM11 sources, but updated with a 4.4.2 kernel, and 4.4.2 binaries and libraries from the official LG G2 OTA (VS98024A)
I would like to thank:
Everybody who has contributed to the CyanogenMod project
Everybody who has contributed to Linux
@xdabbeb for cracking the code to get the 24A OTA to install and for the well-written guide for installing 24A
Dan Rosenberg (djrbliss) for Loki (the exploit that allows for custom boot images)
@Dees_Troy (for TWRP)
Ricardo Cerqueira and Erik Hardesty (and all other LG G2 device maintainers)

So you MUST verify the download, and after pushing it to your device, you must verify that it is not broken in any way before writing the 24A aboot with the one from 12B. Download aboot from here and push it to your device. After pushing it to your device, run an md5sum check on it to ensure that the output is:
Code:
2ce58393effb26fe87b3e66ac6b433d8 aboot.bin
Step 6A: Now you're ready to write the downloaded aboot to your aboot partition. You must run this command as root:
Code:
dd if=aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Step 6B (April 6th edit): Mixing and matching the 4.2 aboot and 4.4 laf partition breaks download mode. The only way to fix it is to flash the 4.2 laf partition. Use this guide to fix your download mode with the following:
Code:
dd if=laf.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
Step 7: THIS IS IMPORTANT! The old aboot is incompatible with the new boot image that comes from the 24A OTA, so you must install a boot image that's compatible with stock KitKat and also works with the old aboot, so download this boot image and verify its md5sum
Code:
200eb4b8fc165751aa24d770737b2716 boot.emmc.win
Code:
dd if=boot.emmc.win of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
Step 8: Since you're only running stock 24A, you don't have a custom recovery! So download this TWRP custom recovery (which is already loki'ed) and verify its md5sum
Code:
4835cdcf2432ee1c4eb8cef73e2a24c1 recovery.lok
Code:
dd if=recovery.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Step 9: At this point, you will essentially be running 24A, with a exploitable aboot which allows for custom boot images. You also have a working boot and recovery image which is compatible with the exploitable aboot. The rest is normal ROM flashing, and is cruising from here on out.
Step 10: Take a breath
Step 11: Download the ROM from below
Step 12: Install ROM in recovery, if coming from a previous but recent CM11 build (say from within a week), you shouldn't have to do a factory reset, if you don't meet that criteria, just do a factory reset anyways.
Step 13 (Optional): Install a gapps package
Step 14: Reboot and enjoy!
If you are attempting to download a zip on your phone, try requesting desktop mode in the browser and it should download.

Official CM11 uses the proprietary binaries and libraries of the offical Android 4.2 build for the LG G2 (Jellybean).
Its kernel sources were merged into CAF kernel sources, and along the way, something happened where occasionally, the device won't wake up and reboot upon pressing the post button (commonly called an SOD).
This ROM is based on the CM11 sources, but updated with a 4.4.2 kernel, and 4.4.2 binaries and libraries from the official LG G2 OTA (VS98024A)
I would like to thank:
Everybody who has contributed to the CyanogenMod project
Everybody who has contributed to Linux
@xdabbeb for cracking the code to get the 24A OTA to install and for the well-written guide for installing 24A
Dan Rosenberg (djrbliss) for Loki (the exploit that allows for custom boot images)
@Dees_Troy (for TWRP)
Ricardo Cerqueira and Erik Hardesty (and all other LG G2 device maintainers)
