Can't download the 3rd party SIM binary for Electron

Troubleshooting

@Finder I'm not sure what would cause that error but have asked the guys to look into it. In the meantime, you can create and flash an app locally:

setcreds.ino

#include "cellular_hal.h"
STARTUP(cellular_credentials_set("broadband", "", "", NULL));

void setup() {
  // your setup code
}

void loop() {
  // your loop code
}

You can then flash this to your Electron over USB via the Particle CLI. With your Electron in DFU mode, the command for this is:

particle compile electron setcreds.ino --saveTo firmware.bin && particle flash --usb firmware.bin

Docs reference:

Once you get your electron connected, you can use the Build IDE, but make sure to keep your credentials code in various apps you create. In the future it will be saved to non-volatile memory so this will not be necessary.
