Boron 3910 blinking cyan

My Boron is blinking cyan then blink once red. From what I read this is a key issue.

I tried to follow the steps from this link: Device Blinking Cyan | Troubleshooting | Particle

and got result:
" New Key Created!
Saved!
Saved!
attempting to add a new public key for device e00fce68a11a22f7c655aea4
submitting public key succeeded!
Okay! New keys in place, your device should restart."

After it restarted and blinking cyan again.

anyone to assist? thank you

I don’t think you have a keys error, I think you have a different cellular data communication error. Could you get a log from either of:

Thank you. From the log, it looks like:

You're using a 3rd-party SIM card, have set the external SIM flag and the APN. This looks OK.

It's not possible to tell exactly what's wrong, but it looks like you can't send or receive IP data even though you were able to establish a PDP session. One cause of this is a bad APN.

Unfortunately we have no visibility into 3rd-party SIM networks so there's no way to tell if there's a SIM configuration or other issue that's causing it.
