Root CM12.1 UNOFFICIAL RC5

You need to download the gapps package in this thread. Are you wiping before you flash these? Best do this when changing ROMs. Bnv2 and Cm12.1 are very different.
 
No, I read the instructions step by step.

But I got it on this second go around. What I did was installed the rom, then reboot recovery, then installed the tstkrl, then reboot recovery, then the gapps, then rebooted to recovery again, then reboot system.

I am sure I did a few extra reboots, but it works now. That's what matters.

Yeah there is no need to reboot recovery in between flashing files (unless you had your recovery & boot partitions swapped for rw. In that case you have to flash the restore zip then reboot recovery once before installing everything else.)

That is one of the great things about twrp vs cwm & philz (the fact that you can que up to ten zip files to flash back to back to back). If you had no google apps then you probably flashed them before the ROM. You have to flash the ROM first and after that you can flash everything else in whatever order you want.
 
I did those are the ones that break wifi.cause they have wrong boot IMG..looking for ones that have correct boot IMG so it doesn't break WiFi...don't think I over looked it but could have if so could u point me to a certain page..looked at last 5 pgs. Thanks

If you were talking about ME with this post, then you sure don't know what you are talking about. I read and reread. The thing is,I followed the instructions of the OP step by step. I always do. It wasn't until I used the method i used to flash BNv2 that I got my Google apps working.

And that was after flipping out because my phone got stuck in a bootloop after flashing back my twrp backup.

That being said, I've got pretty much everything fixed except the screen goes black when I get an incoming phone call. I'm now looking for a zip about that. Seems like I've seen it in the 1000 pages I've read the last few days.
 
Thank you very very much.... To those who helped... And thank you for the ones enforcing the rules... Your help was greatly appreciated also... Some of you are to kind... Sincerely..

actually its a thread its not in the 1000 pages . so you are not looking right .... but here it is http://androidforums.com/threads/cm12-1-sensors.922452/#post-6997692
 
I never asked anything to be posted. I said I was looking for it. I tried both the flamingo and the redbull sensor. And the red bull sensor gave me wings. Now absolutely everything works.

The absolute ONLY issue I have now is once the phone boots up, it takes a while to actually load the system.

Outstanding work hroark13! You are the man. Friday someone is bringing me a LG G2 to root. Every penny I make will be a donation for you. Hell I'll even throw in extra. Screw a couple beers, imma get you a case. (Of PBR or Budweiser, of course, LoL)

Now that I have it installed, I don't have data. I have tried changing the app to the ipv6 also I flashed the gapps from the OP and I don't have any Google Apps either

I mean I have contacts camera clock email gallery, music and themes. But no playstore. No Google hangouts, ect

I have a fix for that .... Lolz change proxy and port to 0 wannam the lte should pop up in a few seconds.... There's a link to gapps on this thread look for it ....
 
sometimes my data works but the phone says no like the lte wont show up but data still works , sometimes turning on airplane n turning it off re sets the lte .

I was talking about obtaining permanent root in the stock rom.

If one more noob tries to tell me how to achieve root on a stock rom I no longer have installed I swear...

I installed the CM12 rom without installing supersu or having permanent root, just TWRP recovery.

How confusing was that when I said it the first time?

Gaaaaahhhhhd
