How to check if the modem has been correctly flashed? System still shows the old vers

Hi guys,
I had a LG G2 equipped with D80210a-EUR-XX so I decided to update it to the new modem version D80210b-EUR-XX.
I flashed it successfully using TWRP however if now I check the modem version into the system properties it's still showed D80210a-EUR-XX.
WTF ?
I maybe done something wrong??

what did the logs after flashing say in twrp?
Sent from my LG-D802

What do you mean exactly?
And, how can I check it now?
ps: please consider that I'am an adroid user since 2 weeks. Please be patient with me.

I just discovered the official thread about the flashable modems.
Let's continue the discussion there.

Well, let's just think, here on XDA, there is just 15% of brazilian users, the others are Indian, Americans etc... so, for the best for everyone, i post the indian (worldwide) FW... and for Brazilian users, i post the baseband.
And how i get it? i flash the indian FW without any problems...

Thanks for clarification ...
I was in doubt because when you posted the first 5.1 soak test TWRP back up ,one indian flashed the back up and posted the screenshot and the modem didn't match the modem i have in my phone.......As i had got official 5.1 and didn't make modifications to my phone ,i assumed that your TWRP back up changed the modem

Any idea for what device the image ATHENE_AMZ_MPJ24.139-64_65_cid50_amz.tgz on https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=s...les&flid=72578 is meant ?
(AMZ = ?)
I am currently running ATHENE_MPJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from this source, on my XT1642 (channel reteu)

Maybe Amazon?

I appreciate everybody's help. However I can't tell if the the correct firmware listed is for US XT1644 FIRMWARE. I see I have the correct build. I have as of yet not unlocked my device. However I want to load my own backup all my images using dd command except data. Upload and post links for the United States build, as I just don't see nothing. Any help to the stock build United States build XT1644 would be great? Thanks
Also when unlocking the my device is there any issues I will run into, off the top of your heads?

Thanks guy. Looks like someone took down the files. Not sure why, any other link to XT1644_ATHENE_RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1644_CFC.xml.zip

I've start downloading the file this morning without any problems. The FileFactory folder link is not down neither the files in it.

9 is the latest firmware for the US model. im not sure what the very bottom one "harpia" is for?

I have bought mine unlocked and it is "retus". It has the MPJ 24.139-48 fw. Radio is M8952_70009.08.03.45R ATHENE_RETUSA_CUST.
If I check the update it says it's up-to-date.

ATHENE_AMZ_MPJ24.139-64_65_cid50_amz.tgz is for the Indian variants, not the US nor European variants.

Harpia is the codename for the Moto G4 Play. Athene is the G4/G4+.

Thanks everybody for helping out. Please continue to write more info about the US XT1644 as there is not alot in on this model.

yup but .9 is the latest. it has fixes for battery and the phone. i flashed it via fastboot on my XT6144 and it works great.

Well, the -49 (not 9) it's not to be found on Moto US website or OTA, it just appeared here like magic and the change log (supposedly) here. So I am not sure about it's provenience and that the fixes are not a placebo.
Anyway, I understand the "itch" to install it. Because I am so tempted myself
LE: Well, I did it. Flashed the MJP24.139-49 on my XT1644, I am restoring the apps now from backup.

Are these TWRP flashable or fastboot?

Yes, fastboot is avail after you unlock the bootloader on Motorola site (loosing the warranty).
I have booted into TWRP to root (SU systemless method), but didn't actually flash it (because I don't plan to switch to CM at this point).

I'm already on CM but there's the bug preventing me from receiving calls unless I turn off LTE. I'd prefer to not lose root and don't have access to a PC, so if I can wipe and flash this in TWRP, that would be perfect.

No, you can't, you need the standard recovery to get back to stock. Then you can root as I said.
As for CM13, I had used it (beta and after that nightlies) on one of my previous devices (Asus, based on Snapdragon 615, 64 bit, 3GB RAM)... but it was too unstable to use as a daily phone. Always something to be "fixed" and very often something else was breaking. Disappointed...

Security Patch Level
Can someone who has flashed the -49 build confirm what the security patch level is? Just wondering if it's the same update India and Europe received OTA.

Need latest Bootloader & Modem 935W8 (canada) Variant (Please and Thank You)

As the titles says, I need the latest BL and Modem (or a link on where to get it) as I am going to install "OnTheEdge" 6.0 Beta 2 to try it out however I can't figure out how to download the BL and Modem for my specific variation and from my understanding due to canada the W8 is not compatible with the F international variation.
*Edit* - I should note I have already looked at "https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935W8/RWC/" however that only has for 6.0.1, I need the 7.0.0 correct?
*Edit 2* - Lets say I do just download the latest 6.0.1, its a large file from SamMobile, how do I get the BL and Modem flash from this?

Uploading... give me a moment
APK3 (from 6.0.1. No 7.0 CP/BL available yet for the W8 variant, but no problem with the 6.0.1 ones)
Bootloader https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31b0xHMjNOZFJ2MVU
Modem https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7NTwhbole31MTFBNEh5Zi1LNzg

Thank you very much for the quick reply and for the uploaded files as well!
May I ask what you did to get those files (trying to learn all this stuff as I find the world of a rooted phone an awesome one but there is much to learn!) ?

I extracted the BL/modem from the full Generic APK3 firmware I found here a few weeks ago. I wanted the latest available modem/BL for my W8 S7 edge too, but I didn't want to subscribe to SamMobile just for that. I suggest you to keep that link, it has many up-to-date files and firmwares available for our S7 edge variant.
Having them separately is more convenient than having to download the full firmware (2GB+) though but well...

USA Axon 7 A2017U baseband options

EDIT: For the A2017U USA model Axon 7, the TWRP flashable B35 modem file is available here || A2017G and A2017 follow the link at my last post in this thread to the Aroma ROM thread containing those modem files.
I have Baseband Version .2.0.c1.9-00090-M8996FAAAANAZM-1 which I believe is B15
I have seen reference to a baseband version 2.0.c1.9-00104-M8996FAAAANAZM in this thread and I would like to update the baseband to this version, which I believe is B35
I've not had much luck finding a flashable modem for the USA version A2017U. I have been on LineageOS since the beginning, so I didn't get an OTA update of these files. Could someone please help me?

you can just download the b35 update.zip and get the modem file from inside (which I believe is the NON-HLOS.bin)

I must have misunderstood things. I had read about those files but I thought these were for the Chinese version of the Axon 7. The Chinese version takes the "TH" prefix at the beginning of the baseband version, right? So I need the version not prefixed by "TH"?

I'm wondering why you are meddling with the baseband codes. Just forget about them and use U modems. Simple as that...
Think about this: The updates for all 3 models come with their own modem files. if you open an U update and get the modem from inside, do you really think it will be a G modem??

That certainly makes sense, but after reading many reports of battery drain, signal loss, and other issues related to flashing modems on the Axon 7, I decided to ask for some help. Lots of these people who have had these issues are probably smarter and more experienced than I. I have bricked phones from making assumptions before.

For anyone who finds this in the future, A flashable a2017u B35 can be downloaded here. I installed it on my USA version Axon 7 and it updated the modem to baseband version TH.2.0.c1.9-00104-M8996FAAAANAZM I'll update the first post with this link.

THank You for your topic. I was throughly confused about the modem issues when I got a replacement axon 7 and wanted to simply copy my install of RR 6 over. I had no luck doing that because of the damn modem files. Since this version if the one I have on my old axon 7, this should make the rom boot now. I hope. I'm still a bit confused about the universal bootloaders Ive found, they seem to be for a certain modem version. SO which bootloader do you use with B35? What the hell is a bootstack adapter? That adds to the confusion, all the damn alternative terms used for the same thing.
