They are flashable zips. Just rename the modem file to modem.img and place it a folder named flash2 on the internal sdcard. Download those zips files stated in the instructions any where on your internal or external sdcard then run that file in TWRP. That zip file looks in the flash2 folder and flashes the modem.img file thats in there.

that looks right from looking at the flash2* script, but I am by no means an adb expert

So the 4254.1 suffix on baseband version indicates upgrade to the 11c modem.

Anyone try flashing the 11c boot image on 10b, using Flash2Boot.zip?

correct on the modem version, haven't tried the boot image.

Does this have to be on the External SDcard or Internal? I've tried internal as TWRP doesn't recognize my external, and I can't seem to get it to work. TWRP acts like it's doing something and says it finishes ok, but my modem stay's the same.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
I used internal SD. Create a folder called flash2, all lowercase, at the same level as documents, download, etc. Put the modem.img file in that directory. Run twrp, tell it to install Flash2Modem.zip. Reboot.
[Verizon LG G3] robertwhitten87:
Strange, Thanks man. I follow the same procedure and i'm still on the same modem. Maybe I'm missing something. Will attempt again.

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
I updated both modem.img and system.img with flash2. System took a while......was getting nervous. Anyway, the baseband is updated and now software version says 11c. Do NOT update the boot.img correct? or did I read wrong and I should update the boot.img?
[Verizon LG G3] BladeRunner:
According to autoprime's post (#220) in this thread it is safe to manually flash the modem, boot and system images for 11C as long as you are rooted and bumped.
[Verizon LG G3] robertwhitten87:
Yes, I changed it to modem.img put it in the flash2 folder on the internal sdcard, ran the flash2modem.zip in twrp and nothing changes by the looks of it. Just re did everything again and still did not change a thing

Thanks for sharing with the community. Question, how clean is your system image? Is it just stock + root, or do you have other tweaks as well (build.prop tweaks, xposed modules, sdcard fix, etc.)? Thanks again for sharing.
[Verizon LG G3] BladeRunner:
just out of curiosity is that the 10B or 11C kernel?

Anyway....was the boot.img posted anywhere?

Secondly, I'd put the modem.img and system.img in my dropbox to share....but I can't get them off the phone. When I plug into my computer......AFT doesn't open. The phone says it's selected as an installer, but only PTP, not MTP. It's not letting me select MTP. It just shuts down, and pops up as installer again with PTP selected.

[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Hmm you have the flash2 zip in the folder as well right?

One other thing I noticed when 're-naming the modem file. My pc didn't show the .img extension. So I just 're-named it "modem". Had I renamed it modem.img, technically the file would have been named modem.img.img, even though you can't see that.

Not sure if that helps, but that's all I can think of.

I appreciate the help. I had the flash2 in the root of the sdcard, and attempted in the flash2 folder also. the modem.img was renamed within android to avoid any issues. I'm at a loss, but this is a new method to what i'm use to so i'm not surprised at my confusion.

[Verizon LG G3] robertwhitten87:
Nah, I work in the I.T. world. I'm never offended when we get down to basics, and apparently I was skipping the most basic part. Main question "Is it plugged in" Nope my file was not!:eek:

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
I didn't wipe cache or dalvik.....I just ran the flash2 zip. Modem I did first. Very quick. System not only took a while to download, but then it took a while to flash......and I mean over 5 minutes for it to flash before I could reboot......so don't get nervous if it takes a while. The boot.img went fast as well.

After rebooting the phone after flashing the system.img.....it took a while at the "Android is updating" on first boot with it.

if you have 14 numbers at the end of the baseband its the new one.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

i would agree with "if its not broke, dont fix it". yes roms will likely have the new files. the only thing you should flash is the modem, as roms wont have that. myself and others have seen some improvement from the new modem.
[Verizon LG G3] bobcat987:

[Verizon LG G3] lawtalking:
For those trying to flash the modem and it not changing, here is how I fixed the problem.

When I made the flash2 folder, I did it on my pc, and even though I named the folder with all lowercase letters, it automatically changed to capital Flash2. So I created the flash2 folder on the phone itself, and then added the files to that folder, and it worked next try.

[Verizon LG G3] budven:
I was rooted, with twrp, and xposed and very happy with my phone. I did not accept the ota. which was a smart move. I tried to update the modem and now I am stuck at the verizon screen. I booted into recovery and tried to restore from backup and again I am stuck on the verizon red screen. I should of left well enough alone.
[Verizon LG G3] toy028:
Restoring a backup wont touch the modem, you need to flash a working modem image. Make sure you get the proper modem.img file and flash it.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
You'll need to reflash the modem correctly, or flash the old one. Or just kdz to stock, re-root & bump unlock, then restore your twrp backup. Time consuming, but easily fixed, your by no means dead in the water.
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
Since I did something wrong I was trying to flash back to my last backup. I followed these directions...

1. Download the modem file here from IndianaBond and rename it modem.img

2. Download Flash2Modem.zip from AutoPrime here.

3. Make a new folder on your internal sdcard called: flash2

4. Download and place Flash2Modem.zip on your phone. Internal/external sdcard.

5. Stick modem.img into the /sdcard/flash2/ folder.

6. Create backup's in TWRP.

7. In TWRP, flash Flash2Modem.zip to install your updated images.

So I put the modem.img file in the folder and flashed the flash2modem.zip file. Yet I am stuck on the red screen.
[Verizon LG G3] toy028:
Yes those are the proper steps. I also wiped cache and dalvik after.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Use the file browser in twrp and be sure that your file names you created are correct (including case) along with the file names you changed (ex. modem.img)...
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
Early in the day I had flashed the modem and system files; everything went very smoothly, thanks to Autoprime's zip files. When the boot image came available later in the day, I flashed that too, also with no issues whatsoever. So effectively I'm running the new 11c ROM. Restored TB files without incident. Just about as smooth as you can get it - a little piece-meal, but hey - whatever works, right?

Thanks again to Autoprime and everybody who had donated their files and their dedication to this update. XDA FTW!

Didn't take too much time reading through this post as there is 37 pages.. Just wanted to inform others if it hasn't been done already.

I am rooted using stumproot and had no problems updating with the new verizon update. According to stumproot after the update it says I am still rooted. I have heard from other users from a reddit post I was viewing that some people had errors at 1% or 3% and the update just failed then rebooted normally. Except I have no idea what exactly this update actually updated so if someone knows and would like to clarify that would be nice.
[Verizon LG G3] docfong:
I installed the "modem.img" with no issues on my iorooted 10B with the Flash2Modem.zip method and it updated the baseband fine.

I am wondering what the benefit "if any" of installing the system.img and the boot.img as well

Also, if I install system.img or boot.img will it erase and wipe my phone?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
They don't erase/wipe. After installing system, things I had to reinstall:

Su needed an update

Xposed (run the app from your apps folder to reinstall framework)

Hotspot mod

Lbe security master - I ended up doing a full uninstall, then reinstall, before I could get active defense running again

Pretty minimal effort.

I have seen one random reboot since updating, out of the blue the phone restarted, will see if it happens again.
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
Well, as far as I can tell I flashed the modem correctly. I went back and checked the internal sdcard and named the folder flash2 and the file name modem.img. I flashed from my external sdcard Flash2Modem.zip but for some reason I cannot get past the verizon red screen. I tried to restore from the backup I created but again I get stuck at the verizon screen. I guess now I will just have to kdz to stock, re-root & bump unlock, then restore my twrp backup.
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
sorry if I missed a post here. but if I'm not mistaken autprime asked for some files to be uploaded so he can verify that those who took the update and returned to stock were returned to stock for all (system/modem/boot) [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] thanks.

I'm also wondering what people are doing wrong that are getting stuck at the verizon screen?

Possible incorrect filename or file missing. People on windows they should launch explorer\tools\Folder Options\view\and uncheck "hide extentions for known file types. because they could be naming the file boot.img.img

Perhaps are they not wiping dalvik cache and cache.

Or possibly requires boot.img and modem.img and system.img and not just one.

Just want to confirm as I don't feel like totting or kdzing today but I would'nt mind trying out the update.

Don't forget that if your twrp backup is on your internal SD card, you'll lose it during the flash. If it's on an external card, you have nothing to worry about. Otherwise you'll need to copy the twrp backup to your computer first, then copy it back into the twrp folder after you install TWRP.
[Verizon LG G3] budven:
I do have a backup copy on my computer. However, I am afraid to restore it for fear it will lock up at the verizon screen again. If I choose to restore is this the process you would suggest. Flash to stock, re-root, bump unlock (twrp), update modem, then restore twrp backup. I guess restoring backup restores my data, apps, and xposed settings? Most of my data is backed up on google, my apps on the play store, and xposed would not be that had to set up again.

I did have the stock rom backed up but I changed the file name. Does this cause twrp not to recognize it?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Best I can tell, updating with the three images didn't harm other directories on my internal SD. I see things like Brother (printer), EFS_Backup, etc, file contents appear to be intact. My original TWRP folder is also still on the internal card, though I selected Backups to go to external SD, so my external is the one with a TWRP/Backups folder.
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
I'm not willing to take any updates that do not allow me to revert completely back to stock as I will want to run aosp and other stuff when the time comes. I could care less about moving forward with updates but if they provide to be harmless and useful for stabilty and connectivity and allow me to revert back great. if not I'm fine right where im at my question is:

Which updates are safe to allow for this. I have been following thread and I am a little confused. sorry for my lack of understanding but I have read and read and I just want to make sure.

from my understanding. I'm sure there are more ways to do this but I'm just referring to what I'm familiar with.

The ota modified the modem which will be reverted back via tot lg recovery app. This can updated to 11c version by being flasheded with autoprimes flasher2 script.

The ota added files to the system which can be flashed now via zip? This too can be reverted back via tot lg recovery or twrp.

The ota added a new kernel or boot (i'm assuming these to be the same, please correct me) I'm assuming you can use flasher to back up the boot and flash the new one and use that to go back to stock if necessary. or flash the new boot file via zip and back that up with flasher to save a copy.

How can I backup my modem file I currently have and can I rename and use autoprimes flash2.zip to go back.

My setup is I'm currently stumped, bumped, twrped and running xposed with some build.prop tweaks for all multiwindow apps every vzw apps frozen and system updates frozen. Thank you all for your patience and time
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
Yes, you can restore your backup from twrp. Modem, bootloader, etc have nothing to do with a twrp system/data/boot restore.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
As far as I'm aware, everyone has been able to revert from the New ota by tot or kdz.

Personally I see little point in updating anything other than the modem, and possibly system, but I haven't done that yet. Will just update my Rom when I get around to it.

All of your system mods will be gone and need to be 're-done if you flash that.

Maybe not a big deal for you, just an fyi.

There is no need to backup your modem before updating, the old one is available from codefires site.

I just haven't seen any post saying this update made there phone that much better to warrant me updating all the partitions. Plus I'm not having any issues I think need to try and be fixed, although I'm running 10b Jasmine Rom.

Getting rid of the persistent UPDATE NOTIFICATION for Verizon LG G3...

Just a note for the persistent update messages - I apologize if this has already been covered - I found the folder that actually has the update in the CACHE folder (on the root of the device - not a subfolder). It appears it pushes it to a folder called FOTA... this update is about 215MB.

Anyway - I renamed that and all the other files here but I dont think you have to... what I did was convert the APP System Updates in Titanium backup from a system app to a USER app and I 'froze' it. This appears to have stopped the incessant messages because I had already followed the directions to DISABLE OTA in the hidden menu and I still got this message...

I just did this and thought it might help some folks here so that's why I posted... if it has any adverse side effects I will come back and notate here.
