I'm still not 100%sure that flashing a modem actually works I have flashed different modems on several different roms and never actually seen a change in the displayed modem.

Your steps listed are correct,,, I put my V5 on my ext sd card and I also wipe data factory reset after flashing V5....:thumbup:

Thanks

Any idea if Flashing E980 Modem is required ? or just flashing the V5 rom and following others steps will work ?
Or i have read that Data connections and Signal Reception doesn't work as Modem is not flashed

This is what I did.
Flashed G2V5 wipe data factory reset
Then reboot. You will have to add your AT$T APN I use the phone apn,, also make sure your service is set to LTE auto
If you get good service IE LTE full bars and what not. Then u are good. No need to try flashing modem.

If your service isn't good then try flashing your modem. Personaly I haven't seen my modem actually change after flashing.

You can verify this yourself. After installing V5 go into setting General about software info and check your baseband version,,, then flash a different modem and check again. I'm my experience it never changes.

As soon as you have root unlocked and CWM, do a backup inside of CWM rewcovery, then continue with your list

I cannot get this to flash on cwm. It installs in about 2 secs? Any suggestions? Tried moving files to internal already.

I used freegee to install cwm, then I flashed cwm advanced philz touch.. works perfect and philz touch is so much better, this is the first time I've used it.
