How to know if our Z2 is an Indian or Chinese variant?

I bought mine Z2 from Banggood and the only thing I can remember of the stock was that it was in English. I unlocked the bootloader installed twrp and flashed cosmic rom as soon as the battery charged up.
I did made a backup of stock but it got corrupted somehow when I tried to restore it showed an error so i just deleted it.
I would like to know so I can flash a newer stock firmware to update my baseband in hope of getting lte to work on tmobiles usa network. I'm currently only getting hspa plus.
My current baseband is 9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1
Also is there a recovery flashable baseband zip out there?

I think the Chinese Version has the ZUK Logo on the Back and the Indian the Lenovo one.
To check if your Z2 can get LTE, check its baseband and the lte bands of your isp.

Indian version has Google play store installed by default, whereas the Chinese version does not

Hmm I have ZUK in the back but it came pre-installed with Google play lol.
I'm going to chance it and flash an Indian firmware.

Because Banggood and so on sells the Phone with a Shop ROM which has google play services installed but no ota and stuff like tjis.
You got the Chinese Version butyou can flash the Indian Version doesn't matter

Just see the box.
If It has chinese character on front and side it's a chinese version. Otherside if It has only english character is an indian one.

AT&T 8.0 Oreo OCX27.109-47 available, plus a problem

Well, I've been waiting for this to help fix my semi-borked phone and it is now available:
Android File Host Courtesy of the Motorola-Firmware-Team.
I know quite a few have been looking for it as well.
Now here is my issue if anyone can help -
Before I knew what I was fully getting into (this AT&T Z2 Force is my first bootloader locked device) I mistakenly flashed an oreo modem from the retail image to my 7.1 device. This gave me a missing baseband and IMEI, with no wifi or sim. In my attempts to fix it I flashed the modem from Tmobile (oreo) and eventually got wifi back, but not sim. I hoped going to the AT&T Oreo image would give me back sim/cell, but alas it seems the AT&T baseband version is lower than the current TMO on my phone, and both wifi and sim service are gone.
I feel like I need a way to roll back the baseband, but can't with the locked bootloader.
I can flash back to the TMO modem and get wifi, but that is all.
Any insights?

What was the ROM Oreo that you installed before installing the Tmobile?
The ROM that you downloaded is for moto z2 play not for moto z2 force

It is for the z2 force (Nash), just listed under the z2 play on Android file host for some reason.
As for your question, I'm not sure I understand - are you asking which rom I installed before going to the tmo modem? It was the retail Oreo rom, which obviously didn't fully install due to the locked bootloader, but started my journey to finding a working modem as anything 7.1 I tried after the failed retail flash would not work.
In hindsight I could have left the phone untouched at that point and waited for the at&t Oreo files, but I have a tendency to tinker too much...
I settled on the at&t 7.1.1 rom with tmo 8.0 modem for wifi. Now the at&t Oreo rom is available and installed, but it gives me a missing baseband unless I use the tmo modem. Oh well, suppose I will wait for the next at&t update at this point unless someone has any suggestions.
I have a Sprint version coming tomorrow so I'm not as bothered by it any more, and I'm looking forward to the unlocked bootloader.

I tried to download that ROM but do not tell me
When you say the numbering of the At & t ROM It is smaller than tmobile's

I just installed the ROM 8.0 from at & t is working very well, any news I will communicate, thanks for the information

I have a problem with this version the 4g LTE does not grab me

I am having the same issue, did you ever find a resolution for this?

No, unfortunately.
I have a second Z2 Force from Sprint which I use, and this AT&T version exists solely as a mini WIFI tablet. I'm hopeful the 9.0 Pie update will breathe more life into it eventually.

Moto Z2 Force Sprint (XT1789-03) to retail with carrier unlocking

Hi all.
Was able to pick up a Z2 Force to use as a work phone, and had a couple of questions. It is originally a Sprint variant, and comes with all the Sprint bloat. I was able to flash a precompiled firmware designed from switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, and while it works, it has all the T-Mobile bloat on there. My current situation is that I'm planning to use it on Mint mobile, and want to flash it with the retail firmware and have it unlocked for use on Mint. My only issue is that there seems to be a lot of confusing information on what to flash and what not to flash in order to do that. Is someone able to clarify what can/needs to get flashed to get retail and what needs to get done to have it carrier unlocked.
Thanks again.

Hey HumidSting do you have a guide I could follow for how you converted your Sprint Z2 to a T-Mobile? I was trying to convert mine to Verizon or ATT and was not able to get past the setup process.

This is the thread I used. Obviously you'll have to adapt it for your carriers, but it should work.

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie
There is no pie for nash xt1789-04 (att) but there is pie released for other z2 force. Will it break my phone if I flash pie stock over ATT stock rom? If so, can I have a link to the pie rom?

There's no stock 9.0 for any model. GSIs and custom ROMs are available, but an unlocked bootloader is required for either route. Users of the ATT & VZ models must wait for Moto to rollout Pie officially.
If you're interested in those things I'd strongly recommend selling your ATT Z2.

Oh, I thought pie was out because on gsmarena it says it's upgradeable. I guess it's wrong.
But when this does come out, for let's say, Sprint, is it possible for me to flash a sprint rom to my ATT MZ2F?

Moto released their update rollout. Among the phones slated to receive Pie you'll find the Z2 and Z2 Play.
Sure, you can try to flash the official build on your Z when it's out. Just keep in mind that the phone will probably lose LTE, and possibly other functions.

Ok thank you for answering

Normally, yes you can flash from a different model (i.e. Sprint FW on TMO model), with the exception of the AT&T/Verizon variants, which are bootloader locked, and you cannot flash anything (not even official firmware) on them.

That's wrong because I was able to flash android 8.0 att over 7.1.1 because it wouldn't let me update normally. I'm pretty sure you can flash images with the same stock signature, but I'm asking if it's possible to flash stock firmware from another model on to att phone with bootloader locked

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant official firmware of a different model.
