Ok let's go by steps. Since you have everything downloaded already I'll start after with what I did.

1. Created folder "flash2" on the root of internal storage.

2. Moved modem file into "flash2" folder making sure it's named modem.ing

3. Moved flash2modem.zip onto root of internal storage.

4. Rebooted into recovery and installed flash2modem.zip

5. Rebooted system.

6. New modem on phone.

[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
well, im starting to wonder if the rom is just not updating to the new information for whatever reason.

try this, go back to page 1 or 2 where i posted the instructions to pull the modem img, pull yours, then compare the md5 of that file to the 11c modem and see if its the same.

[Verizon LG G3] GolferRon:
From my research I found that the kzd method restores version 10b_1 while the tot method restores version 10b_3 which was the released version.

This is why both will download but only the tot method will complete the upgrade. Also why the kzd restore has the error.
[Verizon LG G3] burkett375:
I use es file explorer with root privileges

according to the script you mentioned:

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem-12B.img

if you navigate to /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

you should have the modem file shortcut

In es file explorer, you long press and copy it to your sd card

long press the file that's on your sd card, hit properties, and on the bottom right hand corner hit "show checksum"

the app lets you run the md5/sha checksum that I used in my screenies

[Verizon LG G3] GillRigged:
At least until if/when the 12B system.img becomes available. I had [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] 's flash2 thread favorited but I guess I forgot about it. I was ready to start over. I just wish this whole process was a little more organized as in having img files and flash files all in one place. Maybe that'll happen with the 12B update unless [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] also gave up on LG because of the Bump issue.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
curious,

my files there have quite old dates, yet i updated recently.

correct me if im misunderstanding, you just went to the directory and basically copied the file to another location for analysis?

seems to me if thats true, then why would we need to use the code to pull it?

i did try this, as to not ask a question i could figure out. seems though, it wont let me copy the file. once i figure out why that isnt working any more, maybe i can answer my own question :)

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

if someone wants to pull the other img's and send them to me, ill host them. you will still have to get the flash zips from autoprimes site though. i try not to mirror files that dont need it.

all anyone needs to know about flashing a new modem is here.

try to follow the directions, they work, i promise.
[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
No offense dude.... But maybe rooting and modding your phone isn't for you. These are the simplest directions given..... Either that or you are messing with all of us.

Download the 2 files. Don't do anything to them. Don't unzip... Unpack... Rename anything. Put the flash2modem.zip on your internal storage. The modem-12b.img needs to be renamed modem.img that's the only renaming is just remove -12b. Create a new folder on the internal storage called flash2....all lowercase. Put the modem.img file in that flash2 folder.... Reboot and flash the flash2modem.zip and profit
[Verizon LG G3] HuskerWebhead:
Just to clarify, can I flash the modem even though I'm running TWRP and a custom ROM? Sorry if this has already been answered 100 times.

Dude....thanks for breaking the process down in simpler terms....I finally got the new modem to flash thanks to your help...thank you
[Verizon LG G3] cap1tal1sm:
so, i am rooted and have twrp recovery but I'm still on stock ROM because I don't like any of the custom ROMs I TRIED. right now my build is 10b, and has never been updated. What is this talk about a modem? does that affect the clarity of the calls?

would someone mind explaining to me how I can get access to the beneficial parts of Verizon updates with the twrp recovery? do i have to flash that flash2 modem zip? to an extent I wouldn't even mind getting rid of the custom recovery, but i love having backups i can easily jump to.

you will have to get the 12b files as they become available.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Updating modem.IMG gets you upgrades to the part of your phone that actually talks to the cell network. Those can be quite handy.

Whether or not you want to also flash updates to boot.IMG and system.IMG is up to you. Those updates are for the operating system and core applications.

In my case I chose to apply all three of the 10c files, on top of my 10b phone, with no problem. I have now installed the 12b modem. I'll probably install the 12b system and boot images if they get posted and if I hear positive experience from at least a handful of people (including that something weird hasn't happened relative to root/twrp). I'm interested in seeing what the new advanced calling functionality is like, which will likely require some new/modified system apps, not just the modem.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Yes, I'm hoping someone will post a link to the system and boot images soon.
[Verizon LG G3] d1zzylol:
I just updated to VS98512B and was going to root my phone for the first time. Stump said that the device was patched.. Is there another way? Do I have to revert to an old version (if that's possible. Didn't read the link posted earlier regarding downgrading yet)?

Also, I see people mentioning they need the 12B files to become available. Is there anything I can do to help since I have NOT rooted yet?
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
I think someone can pull the system and boot images from the kdz, which is now available. (I know I have it.)

I think you need to revert 2 updates back (11A maybe), root, then flash just the system and boot images (and modem?) (not the OTA) to get where you're at now. I know there's a thread on how to roll back. I'd wait until the 12B system and boot are available tho.

You don't want the system and boot files from me b/c I don't know what I'm doing and would feel REALLY BAD if someone bricked testing them. = /

I have a 12.3 mb boot image and a 3.2 gb system image. Don't know how they compare to the previous versions tho.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
11c was 16mb boot, 2.81gb system, according to my flash2 folder, I forget what the 10b sizes were.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Then I question my boot image, which I assume is just the boot_196608.bin file.

Use Terminal Emulator to enter the commands below.. you'll end up with 2 .img files on your internal SD card:

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system-12b.img

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot-12b.img

on 11c, the boot.img was around 16 MB, while the system.img was pretty large, 2.81 GB. Give bweN diorD a shout if you capture the files.

Any reason not to go to a twrp recovery? If you're rooted, into flashing individual images, sounds like twrp would be logical to have installed.

(Just curious.)
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
OTA updates usually fail with a custom recovery.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Makes sense. I purposely disabled OTA, use custom recovery to install the boot, modem, system files that others have extracted from OTA.

(to me root is critical, a couple of must-have apps, and I really don't want an OTA to break that)
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
+1

if you plan on running custom roms exclusively, there really is no benefit to taking a ota ever.

rarely any partitions unrelated to the rom need to be upgraded other than the modem, and that can be done ez peezy.

most of the time, ota's are just a buzz kill for your device ;)
[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
I concur. When you're one Verizon... I think people are in a rush to take them because we are usually last to get them haha

Once root and custom recover is obtained there is NEVER a reason to take an OTA. Anything relevant in an OTA will makes it way out... You just have to be patient... And patience is something you should have is you use VZW lol

these new update img's seem to be a little testy about what they will flash with depending on your update status. i would try the original twrp if the new ones not working. thats what i use, but i never took any updates off 10b.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Curious. I rooted via ioroot. I had the 11c images on, used the original bump twrp to push the 12b modem, switched to the newer twrp for 12b system.

1) Did you put the image to be flashed in the flash2 folder (all lowercase).

2). Did you rename it to modem.img (precisely that, no "-12b" in the filename).

My flash2 folder looks like the attached. I remove the "-12b", for instance, to flash the 12b modem.img.

I can't speak for the specific version of Google Search that you have, but for versions on the '13 X, they have hotword detection completely disabled.

It turns out there is an internal flag to blacklist devices from turning on the option. I think more recently the version on the 13 allows hotword but does not allow the "from any screen" nor "while screen is off" options.

You used to be able to edit the flags with "unleash the google" But I don't know of this still works and it no longer maps all the settings to their names (meaning you just see config 1 config 2,etc)
