On phone goto developer options and click on revoke USB debugging authorizations. Unplug and replug USB cable. On PC, where you have adb executable, open command prompt & run adb devices.Be sure phone screen is on, and accept the authorization key. This is assuming you are running windows. If you're on Linux be sure you have your dev rules set up correctly.

Thanks, tried it and still no devices listed in adb. Tried both MTP and PTP as well with no results.

So after checking on a windows machine, you are correct. Adb not connecting, but MTP and PTP are. I had to uninstall and delete all LG drivers from device manager. Unplug phone and install new drivers set with windows 8 compatibility as I'm using a windows10 machine. Heres the driver that worked for me

Still nothing with those drivers. Ugh. When I boot to recovery it shows up fine in adb.. I don't get it.

no sim service is a bug in CM12 just ignore it. try reflashing rom. select apn, reboot. If that doesnt work, use apn fix, then choose appropriate apn, reboot. Hope this helps

Have you seen this commit? It's solved that problem LG G2 and Gproj-based devices. That LgeLteRIL looks like it would be a neat replacement for the LgeX5RIL. (My Volt has no cell service so I'm not sure I can test, but it drops into the build like whoa.)

So I installed this, tried everything to get adb to work to no avail...I have all the correct drivers installed and tried switching them out but nothing works. USB debugging is ON so I am at a loss now.

Also the screen will not turn off, every time it tries to sleep it immediately wakes up. Please help.
*edit* turns out it was the Lift to Wake setting. Still could use help with adb though.

How did you stop it from waking and not going into a deep sleep
 
A thought about 4G and general network connectivity. Could the problems be affected by whether someone has or hasn't previously flashed the zv5 radio?

Hey guys lte confirmed working fine with this rom..just download that free app (change Apn) from playstore open scrull down to APN type and change what ever you see here by typing default,admin,supl, mms, fota, hipri that's it folks..just give it a few second than Boom your LTE is back,what working for me..and this is not my worked folks

Didn't work for mes with sprint :(
 
So, I've been running this rom for a few days on my Virgin Mobile Volt, and I gotta say props to everyone who's been working on developing it and getting the bugs out. I do have a few issues on my phone though, and I was wondering if anyone else can confirm they are having the same problems...
  1. My signal keeps dropping. I use Hangouts as my default SMS app, and almost every other text message I send returns with the error "Message not sent. Touch to retry." After several attempts of retrying, the message will finally send.
  2. Wifi issues. When I reboot my phone, it will not connect to my wifi network nor list any available networks. The only fix I have found for this is to toggle on and off airplane mode. Only then will my phone connect to a wifi network.
  3. GPS. Either my GPS is taking forever to lock onto my location, or it's really borked in CM12. At home it lists me as being across the street. I tried replacing my gps.conf with the modified one by jfuginay. Still no go. It's taking at least over a minute to lock onto my location, even when I'm outside in the open.
  4. LTE. I'm not even going to elaborate here. I just haven't had a LTE signal where I should be getting one. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people who aren't getting LTE at all.
  5. Roaming Indicator Off. I read that this is a bug in CM12. Can someone confirm?
One thing I noticed we haven't really discussed is turning on the on screen buttons and disabling the capacitive buttons. This is one of the first mods I did on my phone, and it'll fix the issue with screen pinning. I followed the following tutorial that was designed for the OnePlus One: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/5-0-how-to-activate-screen-buttons-t2938686. As for turning off the capacitive button lights, their method will not work on our Volts. Just go to Settings > Buttons > Backlight, and uncheck Illuminate buttons.

One last parting thought... I am really interested in computer programming, and it's been ten years since I did any sort of programming. I was in high school at the time, and all I learned was BASIC and Pascal. I would really love to learn how to develop roms, apps, and other types of programming for Android. What resources or tutorials are available that could help me learn how to develop for Android? I would seriously love to help you guys polish this rom and work out all the bugs! Thank you.

I had the exact same problems with signal and LTE. What I did was flash the APN fix listed on the first post and then selected an APN in the rom's built in APN settings. I had to switch back and forth with the APN's I could choose from once or twice to get LTE to work, but once I got it working it's been great. Signal drops got a lot better too. It's not perfect, but it only drops every now and then as opposed to dropping continuously.

Above I posted asking if signal issues might be affected by having the zv5 radio flashed/not flashed prior to flashing the rom. Did you have the radio flashed?

If you want to develop apps, you'll need to learn Java. ROM coding requires this and C++. You'll also need a Linux machine (Ubuntu works very well) with at least 4 GB of RAM and a very stable and fast internet connection, as the CM source code is about 30+/- GB
 
For those with the deep sleep problem again, open settings, goto performance and processor, you want to change your minimum frequency above the default, about 384MHz. That's how I fixed my device.

Does this also stop it from turning back on right after it turns off

Thank you Sir, probably that's why you bootlooped

It was working fine then while I was using it it shut rebooted and was like that (trying to reboot) the whole last night.
BTW the module that gives back the mute/silent mode from previous versions of android does not work when I pushed any volume button after enabling that module it would reboot (it was as if I tured the volume buttons into reboot buttons)
