You really need to read the first post. There is no way you should be having this much problem if you were following directions correctly, and every post here has been patient with you, which is great to see. But please, read the OPOP carefully.
Again the steps, revised since you don't have OS:
1: download the twrp image from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772357
2: boot into TWRP
3: select Install
4: at the bottom right corner, hit "Image"
5: navigate to where you placed the file
6: profit

If your STILL having issues, you need to restore your device using the latest kdz file and LG Recovery tool. Tutorial for that,
http://androidforums.com/threads/unbrick-guide-lg-leon-lte-metropcs-lgms345-kdz-firmware.923914/

There is nothing more we can do for you honestly. These exact instructions are what will update your TWRP and allow you to install CM12.1

So far the kernel is awesome. Thanks for posting a link to it. The only problem I found has already been stated, the camera bug. It doesn't work with the regular CM camera or snapchat camera. Also, the battery is a little less buggy. I'm not sure if it's your kernel or not but thanks for that.
 
I can't get weather to work. I reflashed because I was having an issue with duplicated files and now weather is not working. Only difference between this flash and the first one is the Gapps used. I now flashled mini instead of pico. This means a different clock app (Google instead of CM). "cLock" app (widget) is however installed and running. I can add the widget but it won't show weather at all. Weather is also missing from status bar. Do you think the Gapps is the problem?

EDIT
Went into Settings >Notification drawer and turned weather on and off. Now its working.

EDIT 2

Does anyone know how on earth I can use a picture I took as a lockscreen wallpaper?

This is a problem I'm facing too.Fortunately,I made a backup of boot. So, when I get a boot loop,I restore to the old one then I immediately flash the new img again after I boot with the old kernel. The process takes less than five minutes so the boot loop problem doesn't bother me in the last.

Thanks for tip
 
So is there a way or build or kernel maybe which will help the issue of the phone shutting off without being plugged in or?
 
@The-Truth You said that you do not have access to a PC, so that leads to assume that you cannot flash to stock firmware with lg flash tool (via kdz). However you stated you have and can access twrp(whatever working build) on you leon lte(ms345). If this is all correct, I believe you may be stuck atm without a working phone(for calling and phone stuff ;3) and I think I know what you can do to get it going without a PC. There is a thread under root - lg leon called "update.zip 5.1.1 here" by @Nintendo1889 ... If you go there, you can download the flashable update.zip, and go into twrp, wipe cache and dalvik in twrp, then flash the update.zip with twrp. If this works, you should now have whatever firmware that is (10e I believe). If it is 10e and you want to root and do root stuff, there is another thread in the same place called "downgrade and root for 10e users" by @ModifHigher and if you follow the instructions I'm that thread, you should then have a working phone that's also rooted, all without a PC. If you don't have things like play store and maps (google etc.) at that point, I would suggest flashing some gapps cuz yeah gapps :) -I DO NOT know 100% if any of this will work, and if somehow something happens to your device, it is at YOUR OWN RISK!! But if you don't have an OS or PC, then I honestly don't know of any other way to help. If ANYONE knows if this will or will not work, please say so. I really hope this helps and if not, I am sorry but I'm just doing my best to help get your phone up and running again. @The-Truth If this works, I just hope it does in time for your Leon needs. If I'm stating rediculous info that's gonna brick devices, i am truly sorry and it is obviously not my intention. Good luck and thank you again to the LEPT team and all of you amazing people here at AF for everything. Your work and presence is greatly appreciated by at least yours truly. -Online
 
If your already running cm 12 by LEPT on your Leon and your phone turns off when you unplug, and it always says 0%. What I do is boot into twrp (without the charger plugged in) it will say how much your battery % is in the top right corner. I then plug my charger in, wait like 5 seconds and unplug it again. Than with twrp reboot to power off. I than turn my phone on without it being plugged in and it will turn on and display ~the current battery %. If I feel like charging I just charge or unplug as needed and no fear of random reboots. (Keep in mind that if the battery truly hits 0% and it doesnt say so, that will result in the phone turning off. Alternitavely, or in conjuncture with what I do, you can get and run the script in The thread called "script" + having power save mode on and having your screen turned off from time to time, so your ~battery % will update itself more often. Idk if this will work for anyone else, this is just what I do and it works for me every single time without fail for the past week or so. Hope this helps
 
INo I'm running well unplugged and all after a bit of tinkerin. Sorry you guys are right if we do half the reading that we spend flood gateing questions we might already be where were tryin to get. It sure is nice running cm on lollipop on the Leon & not teathered to the wall! Good work MikeHoncho and all involved on kernel builds & general development. To all the mods keeping ppl inline and to all contributed help. This is truely sweet. Justa heads up there is a lollipop version out now by Exposed installer its not the 2.6.1 stabile version were all used to its new I'm off to check er out. If anybody cant run this without it shutting off unless charger is in holler at me I believe I have the remedy, well proper builds to flash accordingly anyway. Carefully on the new exposed mod you need to flash a zip that goes with it maybe even a jar patcher idk but I used the uninstall zip on it, think I need to some more homework on er guys & gals

Check out "Lock screen changer CM12" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miniprepumen.cm12.changelockscreencm12
That worked for me.
 
If it hasn't been stated already, if you are getting stuck in a boot loop on the T Mobile version then remove your SIM card. You'll just have to change the APN to T Mobile, then wipe the cache and reinsert the SIM card. It'll reboot once or twice and then it should work just fine.
 
After flashing boot2.img my phone is no longer recognized by windows, in addition to that trying to use anything that would use usb besides charging with ac causes soft reboot, but on a positive note my gps seems to work now

Which is weird because GPS worked on first build.. The problem is privacy manager when something requests location it has a 50% chance to soft reboot, but after that you should be good for that session. Used this phone to get me across my tri-state area this past week (900mi total) and can assure you onboard GPS works.

Even after the soft reboot if anything tried to access location it would reboot every time for me, GPS not really important to me though so i just turned location services off to avoid that, the biggest issue now is my windows 10 pc sees my phone as unrecognized device when plugged in, i tried USB tether to see if it would work on the off chance it was driver related, but that caused soft reboot
 
untill I flashed boot IMG 2 my phone would shut itself off if unplugged, afterwords, it hasn't shut itself off since. Cameras out but I prefer that to being plugged in 24/7

Then per the kernel dev you've chosen to work out of band of a supported rom/kernel due to some other issue.

This thread is for supported configurations of the Unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 rom, and it's been made clear repeatedly that some things may not be working.

If you don't want to start a new thread for this, I'll be happy to make one and move this entire branch of the conversation to it.


Otherwise, as near as I can tell, all of this discussion amounts to this simple feedback -

"Wanted to let you know that my phone won't stay on when removed from the charger. I think that it's kernel related because I don't have the problem with the unreleased kernel. I've verified this by downloading the rom again and following the instructions in the first post, did a new clean install."

^ Simple.

Unless the dev team here says I'm wrong in which case by all means, continue the discussion here. :)
 
Since CM12.1 has the Cast Screen option listed in display settings, has anyone been able to get it working, or is the hardware just not capable? I was able to get it to recognize my Netgear PTV3000 but that's as far as I could get.

I got cast screen to work with the rom, but it was through the chromecast, so I guess that it's compatible, you just need to figure out how to work it..
 
Are you guys accepting feature requests? I know it might sound like I don't like what we already have, but trust me I do. I'm very grateful for what you guys have done. I know it's even on your free time, and I don't want to sound rude or anything for asking for any new features, so I was just asking if it's okay to request or not. Thanks again for all the work you guys are pitting into this rom and kernel and all. We're all very appreciative of what you guys are doing. :)

Why did you flash it? I've tried to explain it's a test image not a stable kernel meant for daily use.

He has no idea. Some people just get flash happy.

Why does this ROM keep rebooting my phone after install. I have the right TWRP follow all the flashing instructions including all the wipe requirements. It boots to the setup select language page and five seconds later it reboots. It is really annoying.

That usually only happens to me just once, but when I quickly rush through the setup it usually gets past the point of random reboots.
