Verification Checklist

Before submitting a purchase link, ensure you have verified the following details on your received modem:

Clean Product URL: Remove all tracking parameters from the web shop link.
- ❌ Bad: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001234567890.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.1234&pdp_npi=4...
- ✅ Good: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001234567890.html
Inspect the Physical PCB Silkscreen: Pop open the plastic snap-on case with a plastic pry tool or guitar pick. Note the printed text:
- Examples: UZ801_V3.0, HMUF02-V05, UFI003_MB_V02, UFI001B_MB_V02
Verify Chipset via ADB (Stock Android Firmware): Connect to the modem via USB or Wi-Fi (enable USB debug via http://192.168.100.1/usbdebug.htm or http://192.168.43.1/usbdebug.htm if required):
Terminal window
```
adb devices
adb shell getprop ro.board.platform
```
- Must output: msm8916
- If output is asr1802, zx297520, or sp9820e, do not submit as a working link! (Instead, submit a scam/chip-swap warning).
Verify Storage (eMMC vs NAND):
Terminal window
```
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name
```
If standard partitions (boot, system, modem, userdata, fsg) exist as block devices, the unit is confirmed eMMC.
Verify RAM (Especially for UFI003 1GB claims):
Terminal window
```
adb shell cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
```
- Standard boards: ~480000 kB (512 MB)
- Genuine UFI003: ~980000 kB (1 GB)

Markdown Table Row Template (For Pull Requests)

If you are submitting via a Pull Request to src/content/docs/buying-guide/index.mdx, use the following markdown template row for your board’s table:

Status Badges Reference

When adding or updating listings, use one of the following badges:

Status	Badge Code	When to Use

Caution / Mixed	`<Badge text="Caution" variant="caution" />`	Seller sometimes ships alternate revisions; buyers must message seller beforehand.
Chip-Swap Warning	`<Badge text="Chip Swap" variant="danger" />`	Seller previously sold MSM8916 but has silently switched inventory to ASR or ZXIC.
