Thanks for this information @rickkas7
There are possibly a bug with SFR ? It has worked the first day after the first configuration …and since nothing.
Regarding the ICCID not showing up, you need to run the identity command a few times until it actually shows all the info.
As for the actual issue, my Boron still hasn’t been able to connect to a tower. I’ve submitted the ticket, but there’s not much help from it. I’ve tried reactivating the SIM, driving around the city to find a connection, but nothing works.
@toropov after 35x “particle identify” still nothing.
Your problem looks similar to mine…
@toropov you had somes feedbacks from the support ? Nothing thin one week for me 
@pierrick are you using the Particle SIM or 3rd party SIM?
Can you respond/reply to the support email to bump the issue?

Thanks, i did it 
.
I’ll also bump this thread internally to ensure you get a response.

Hi,
i just update my Boron firmware and android APP, i’m still blocked during “Connecting to the internet via Cellular” and my boron is bliking green (with a short white blink each 8/10 secondes).
Same thing here… I was very hopeful of the new update, yet it’s still the same issue 
Hey @toropov and @pierrick. Sorry on the wait to get back you! I do want to let you know we haven’t forgotten about you guys. We’re still looking into the issue and have a few theories.
To get a little more insight into what might be going on here, @avtolstoy has been so kind as to provide some specialized binaries to help get us some additional logging into these types of issues.
For both of you, if you could grab the Boron debug rc26 from here and flash it to your Borons and grab the output logs from the logger–that would be useful.
You are welcome to post the logs here or in your respective support tickets. It may not hurt to do both, just to be safe!
Thanks guys!
Flashed my Boron, but there’s no output. The serial monitor would only open in the listening mode (flashing blue) but nothing is logged.
Have you instantiated the log handler in your application?
// To enable logging on Serial1 @ 115200 bauds
Serial1LogHandler logHandlerSerial1(115200, LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
// To enable logging on Serial (USB)
SerialLogHandler logHandlerSerial(LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
@avtolstoy I’m not sure I’m doing it right… this doesn’t seem to open any ports
#include "dct.h"
SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);
void setup() {
pinMode(D7, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(D7, LOW);
const uint8_t val = 0x01;
dct_write_app_data(&val, DCT_SETUP_DONE_OFFSET, 1);
// To enable logging on Serial (USB)
SerialLogHandler logHandlerSerial(LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
digitalWrite(D7, HIGH);
}
void loop() {
}
I’m setting it to exit the listening mode since otherwise, it won’t run anything.
That line should be a global definition of a log handler which can be used system wide then.
Defining it where you have it will let it only live for the duration of the execution of setup().
Also you won't see any cloud connection in MANUAL mode without ever connecting to cellular nor cloud.

@ScruffR I see, let me try again…
Edit: The correct code
Serial1LogHandler logHandlerSerial1(115200, LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
SerialLogHandler logHandlerSerial(LOG_LEVEL_ALL);
void setup() {
}
void loop() {
}
Alright finally got it to output some log. And yeah it “Failed to connect to cellular network: -160”

Similar to what I provided in my support ticket when I was told it can’t connect to a tower. I was also told that in Canada it should connect through Telus. There’s definitely Telus in my city (London, Ontario) and I even tried driving around the city with no success.
Judging by the log you don't have the battery attached. As far as I can see the modem stops responding after AT+COPS=0 command that initiates network registration, which is an indication of insufficient power supply. Please make sure the following conditions (extract from the datasheet) are met:
For powering the Boron 2G/3G version, you'll either need a USB port that is able support 2A current, or have the LiPo battery plugged in when powering over USB.
This is because the on-board u-blox modem can consumes up to 1.8A peak current when operating in 2G mode. The Boron will intelligently source power from the USB most of the time and keep the battery charged. During peak current requirements, the additional power will be sourced from the battery. This reduces the charge-discharge cycle load on the battery, thus improving its longevity.
The battery was indeed disconnected, however, I’ve tried again with the battery plugged in and it’s the same story:

0000009403 [hal] TRACE: PPP thread event LOWER_DOWN
0000271584 [net.pppncp] TRACE: Failed to connect to cellular network: -160
Although thank you for the info on the peak current, I’ll have the battery connected for future testing.
Sorry to dig up the thread, but the issue still hasn’t been solved. I’ve flashed rc.27 and yet it’s still unable to connect to cellular. Can anyone verify their Boron can connect in Canada, Ontario? Quite disappointing since I anticipated to play around with this thing when I placed a preorder exactly a year ago…
@toropov, is this a 2G/3G Boron or an LTE Boron? My 2G/3G Boron connects without issues in Ottawa. As for LTE CAT-M1, some Canadian users have been testing Telus and Bell SIMs with various degrees of success. This is not a Particle issue. It is the fact that our wonderful triopoly is taking its sweet time deploying this service.
