Electron flashes magneta (breath on off)

Flash success! by CLI and by Web IDE

The electron start blinking cyan and latero on start flashing magneta (Breath on/off).

is it due to cell network privileges?

Breathing magenta indicates Safe Mode, most often caused by a mismatch in system/user firmware. Do make sure the system version is >= user version before attempting to flash.
Try updating the system version using the CLI.

Updating the system version or the device version (firmware)? I think that only can be updated the device firmware. Thanks
