MC7455 no registration after firmware update

Post by karolp1993 »

Hello.
I have problem with two MC7455's after firmware update.
I used that script: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=72

After update modem lost IMEI so I used method from that post to recover IMEI: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=47 ... 850d#p4795

I also tried to flash firmware manually by qmi-firmware update, I tried also with .exe from Sierra on windows.

Now, situation with both modems are pretty similar. Modem with recovered IMEI don't want to register in network, also signal quality is 0% and ONLY gsm-umts is supported. Modem only after update changed supported modes from gsm-umts, lte to gsm-umts what is strange.

What I noticed, when I want to set AT!SELRAT=06, AT answer is ERROR.

Logs from both Sierras:

I tried also AT!RMARESET=01 but without any change.
Of course antenna is ok, on another modems works fine.
Maybe someone knows what's the problem is?

EDIT: I reflashed first modem with FW version that came from the factory. Now registration in network is okay but still no connection. On both modules I have:
