My electron stopped connecting 2 weeks ago after being on for over 4 months. I reset it numerous times and still doesn't breathe Cyan. I am running a third party ATT sim and have reflashed the ICCID and still wont breathe cyan. I still pay for a particle sim so i put that in and reflashed the ICCID for that but it acts the same. Then i tried the one from my ipad and it acts the same, now im back to the original sim that was working for the last 4 months.
It starts green for a few seconds, then flashes cyan at like 10Hz for 10 seconds or so, then flashes cyan at 50Hz for about a minutes then finishes off with a few red flashes before starting back into the cycle again. Ive been fighting this thin all weekend and am at my wits end here. I sent an email to the particle team but i really want to figure this out! Any help would be appreciated.
I have tried the following as well:
I tried particle keys doctor but return this error:

What’s does it mean when your device shows as active in the console but not under devices in the build? I flash OTA because I have plenty of data and it’s just easier but it’s failing to connect even though it shows online in the console.
EDIT: Looks like i has flashed into tinker mode, when i rebooted into safe mode i was able to flash my code even though the BUILD didn’t show i was online. I wish that indicator was more trustworthy, its often indicating devices on that are off and vise versa.
