After 3 bricks and lots of testing, here's my VZW G2 KitKat 24a ROM's, stock and debloated.
Special thanks to xdabbeb method and kernel and JackpotCalvin KK hack for without them, this would not be possible.
Must be taken the VZW ota 11a or higher and be on custom recovery.
Cooks or Devs:
Anybody can use part of all of this rom as a base as I don't own this rom. Just posting a credit is sufficient enough for me. My loss of 3 bricks is your gain!
Warning MD5 must match or risk brick due to kk baseband being flashed.
ROM's:
FULL WIPE NEEDED
Steps 1: Flash ROM
Step 2: Flash kk baseband. Must be on 11a, 12b. If ur on 24a u don't need baseband.

Great job on the ROM. Know you worked real hard on it for us. One question , I'm on 4.4.2 cm11 with recovery already installed just to be sure I can just backup my ROM and flash the stock debloated correct?

Yes, if you've done JC's step 3 already, your 100 percent ready to flash!!! Backup and full wipe also. Wipe system too.
Awesome!!
Can't wait to check out your work.
Just so I'm clear, how does your stock 24a differ from the ota?

Its the same 24a stock. No difference. No reason to flash the stock rom if your already on stock 24a.
That's what I thought, but wasnt sure with one of the prerequisites being the manual ota.
Do you have a convenient list of removed apps? If not, no big deal. Thanks so much for your work

Since this is not different from the OTA itself, and it requires you to do the manual method of installing the OTA as a pre-req, one would question why continue further on to flashing this after you have manually installed the OTA?
I don't understand what is new about this?

If you did the manual KK ota, there is no need to flash stock rom. If you did CM11 on JC's thread, and want to get back to KK, then you can flash this and get it back, or the debloated rom.

My understanding: These are just two options to install the ROM only. If you have already done it manually then there is no need, unless you want to try the debloated version.

Ok, that makes sense, but it should probably be clearly stated in the OP that this is for people who have already done the manual OTA install, moved to CM, and would like to flash back.
I say this because most people are looking for a solution to be able to flash the KK rom in general, while this is a wonderful piece of work, it also serves a very specific purpose, which doesnt appear to be very clearly outlined, and might get some people into trouble if they jump the gun.

Works for me. I am on Ecliptic 4.4.0
It might make a difference that I have installed every firmware update that has come out when it came out. If you just install the latest, you'll notice its missing a bunch of updates that some of the older firmwares appeared to apply. Maybe you are having an older firmware on the compass hardware or something?
Kernel problem
Ok found out it's a kernel problem. Even the problem with the other sensors seems kernel related. Flashing ElementarX fixed it for me. You should try it out http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407568531
Editefinitely a kernel issue. I am sure now it's not a lib problem. I flashed Elementar and replaced the libs with the "defaults", compass still works. The kernel should also be responsible for the auto rotate issue, this kernel only works with the sensors.default.so, while the stock base it works with sensors.m7wls.so

For what it's worth both compass and OTG (saw your post in the insert coin thread) work flawlessly on the stock kernel for me. Sounds like issues stemming from the modified kernels...

Unfortunately they are on the stock kernel(at least it's supposed to be stock) from InsertCoin. We definitely need a kernel dev to look at these issues. I hope we get that ruu soon, that way we won't have these problems

Looking at the commit for r136 from Insert Coin it looks like the Lunar kernel was used to solve the compass issue. If I remember right from posts that I've read relating to both ElementalX and Lunar I think they're based off of international source code (maybe verizon in the case of Lunar) and then modified to work with Sprint which may be what's causing this issue since they're not built off the stock sprint kernel. I'm not a kernel dev though so just throwing around ideas...

It's actually the opposite. The stock kernel was full of bugs and the custom kernels rsolved some of those. That said I don't understamd why some people with stock kernel have no problems. Maybe it's kernel+libs issue so in the IC ROM the use mostly M7 libs=issues

Hey everyone.
First off thanks for to fgr for providing this fix.
I'm not as active as I used to be, but I do read the threads and a common problem that's cropping up on the stock NAE roms is the SD card writing error. With the new update, they "forgot" to write the permission line for SD cards into the system. So we do what we've always done "fix" their mistakes.
I based this fix on fgr's directions and unknownforce's Stock NAE build. It may work on others, but I've only tested it on that.

If you want to run this fix, you will need to put it on the SD card before you install the NAE ROM.
OR
You can remove your SD card and install the fix via an adapter from your computer if you are already running the NAE ROM and you are prevented from accessing your internal or external "card".

I personally just flashed the ROM. Downloaded this file and transferred it via Philz Recovery (Mount USB Storage). I would expect if you've downloaded it to the internal storage after flashing NAE, you could still install it from the recovery menu.

Yes this way too.
So you can't put it on the EXT SD Card if you have one and flash it?
Also, will this only work on the NAE ROM? Sac23 is updating his ROM to 4.4.2 (NAE based) really soon, will it work on that? Bc your OP states you've only tested it on Unknownforce's NAE stock rooted ROM.
Thanks though!

This should work on any stock NAE ROM. Not knowing what a dev might have changed on a custom ROM, I don't want to say otherwise.

I agree here ... Sac will likely fix any issues prior to his release. But just in case ... This will likely work just fine.
This is really only intended to be temporary, until the "Big Wigs" take the next step.

I flashed this and I still couldn't write to my external sd card. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using The Pirate Bay Browser and Utorrent, both from the play store and it will write to internal but not external, even after I flashed this.
I just read about this. It's not something they left out, it's a security measure. Only Google apps or carrier apps can write to your external SD card, NOT apps you install yourself.
I've flashed this on a few phones on NAE and it's always worked great. Thanks man!, saved me a lot of headache.

this. same question for me. I never upgraded to 12b...
That's a great question. Xdabbeb kernel has a 12b aboot check. None have determined that the check can be removed and still boot. I have no idea if it's a big deal. What I do know is that in 12b booted just fine with a 10a aboot. This tells me that 12b roms are satisfied by earlier aboots. Presumably because they are identical other than a version number.

So...if we're on the rooted/debloated 12b, can we flash this over? I wouldn't mind trying to avoid the whole wipe/revert to stock thing if I can help it. Thanks!
In theory one only needs to dd the 12b aboot from jackpotclavin instructions. Can someone try that from a stock 12b rom like Malladus 1.2.9 rom then flash this after a full wipe minus internal storage. That seems cleaner than a dirty flash over 12b. I'd also suggest dd the 2.7.0.0 twrp after the aboot upgrade to ensure that it's aware of the new aboot.

May be off topic, but If i'm still on 11A, which rom would you recommend flashing first to get to 12b to then flash your rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533018
Is there a diffrent method you recommend to get from 11a to 12b to your rom?

We need a bootstack, not a ROM, you must use kdz/tot method.

So...if we're on the rooted/debloated 12b, can we flash this over? I wouldn't mind trying to avoid the whole wipe/revert to stock thing if I can help it. Thanks!

I dont know if you mean you have 12B kdz/tot already or just using a 12B ROM on older bootstack. For easy understanding, what's your last kdz/tot ROM version. If its 12B then you're good to go.
@ ALL: for those unsure what you're doing (or currently have), you should flash 12B tot/kdz instead of messing around with different ROM combination.
I flashed according to the OP's instructions and it's been sitting at the white Verizon splash screen for a few minutes. The LED is fading from blue to green. Is this normal? I'd think, if anything, it'd hang up at the LG screen.

How do I check that? I'm not sure what kdz/tot means?
Totally new to the G2. I previously had a Galaxy S4. I have the 24A build. Rooted with TWRP v2.7.0.0 I was able to install beanstalk and Resurrection but not carbon or pacman (boot loops). Is there some kind of patch I need to flash with certain roms? I did some searching but with my grandson tugging on my arm all the time it is difficult at best finding time to research.

Because your bootstack is 24A, you can only run roms that are using the 24A source code underneath. That would be any stock based KK rom. There is a Carbon beta in the thread that will work also, you just can't use the nightlies until they are updated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52376271&postcount=444
Most of the AOSP based roms are using the drivers/kernel from the older JB source that was available at the time, to go back to one of them, you need to downgrade your bootstack on your phone to 12B.
The devs should start moving all their roms to use the 24A/KK source now that is available, it will just take some time.

Thanks! So after flashing most AOSP roms I then flash the full 12B bootstack, then GAPPS?
If you don't mind me asking, how did you flash TWRP. That's my next step. I rooted last night.

AutoRec - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715496
The 24A release patched the exploit used to install a recovery, you need to downgrade your aboot back to 12B so it can be flashed, AutoRec does it all automatically for you. Just grab the vs980 version from that thread.

I found it's the easiest way to do it, for those who wanna flash it manually/understand what it's doing, JackPotClavin has the steps in his CM11 thread.

One more stupid question, what gapps do I use after downgrading, I tied running this apk, going straight to recovery from there, installing carbon, kk gapps and still bootlooped.

I believe I used Banks gapps. Which Carbon are you installing? The nightlies won't work if you're at 24A.

I did get it install running the downgrade zip and also the pacman rom but i had issues when also installing gapps (worked fine without) but one of them didn't have data. Do you have any idea where the notification and status bar icons are located either within the roms before they are installed or after? I would like to change them.

Sorry no I don't.
Here's the 26A Stock, Rooted, Debloated ROM.
Full ROM was not possible as it would not flash. Was too big.
You need to be on a custom recovery to flash this.
Only tested being on 24A with Freedom Tools to get custom recovery.
Used 24A kernel to get this to boot thank to dr87.
Dev's feel free to use this to get a working kernel that activates Knock-ON. Just credit. Thanks

KNOCK ON-CODE FIX:
Use Dorimanx's kernel to enable knock code:
Flash from recovery: This works even though it says no know code on file. I tested....

4.4.4 kitkat and Advance Calling 1.0 features via VoLTE are responsible for the size this large
Yeah, I have knock on also when I flash Dorimanx 7.7 with "No Knock Code".
My baseband still says 25B though, but my software version is 26A.
Everything works otherwise. Thank you MicroMod--saving me from KDZ back to 24A to take OTA
Good to see you around still Micro. Ill play with this rom over the weekend.
I just upgraded to 26A, baseband, kernel, etc. through the "System Upgrade" in Settings, and made a debloat zip (flashed in twrp) for myself to remove the bloat. Knock-on works fine on 26A kernel. It's much quicker than flashing a whole Rom.

You might want to check the udpater script and remove some of the lines...I have it remove all the GApps because they can be downloaded from the Play Store, plus I don't like GApps residing in /system; it's just a personal preference.
