Shield Tablet LTE US to RoW Modem Files

[jaredmorgs]

I've written a blog post that describes how to flash the RoW factory images on the Shield Tablet US version.

http://jaredmorgs.github.io/2015/01...-US-Version-into-a-Rest-of-World-Version.html

Everything flashes OK, but the one thing that's missing is the Modem files.

It seems that the Modem files are not included in the factory images, and one suggestion was to wait for an OTA to land then you would get them. But that doesn't seem to be the case when installing the 5.0 (OTA 2.0) factory images.

Does anyone know how to get access to the required modem files to flash through ADB to the device? Would I need to pull them from the very first factory image set? Would I need to pull them from a random OTA between 4.4.2 and 5.0.1?

And if so, has someone already extracted the modem files to a side-loadable zip?

It would be great to be able to change the LTE bands.
So if anyone has any solution for this...?

The blog post has an answer from someone who confirms that both modem firmwares are loaded on the device, however a check by the upgrade scripts determines whether the US or RoW modems are flashed.

As yet, I'm unable to confirm how to force the tablet to load the RoW firmware.

there is a thread currently looking at this:

it's probably better to focus efforts there

Correct. Please lock off thread.
