1. Place the Boron in Listening Mode (blinking blue) 2. run the command: 3. Copy the _ICCID_ and go to [https://setup.particle.io/](https://setup.particle.io/) 4. Click on `Activate a Particle SIM` right at the bottom of the page 5. Paste the _ICCID_ and hit NEXT 6. The SIM should be activated 7. Go to [Particle Console | Build your connected product](https://console.particle.io/sims) and see that the SIM status is `Active` 8. Copy the following code and save `exit_listening_mode.ino` 9. Compile the app for Boron using: 10. Place the device in DFU mode, flash this binary using: 11. Hit the RST button and see that D7 LED lights up 12. Place the Boron in DFU mode 13. Download `tinker-0.8.0-rc.25-boron.bin` from [Release v0.8.0-rc.25-mesh (Xenon/Argon/Boron) · particle-iot/device-os · GitHub](https://github.com/particle-iot/firmware/releases/tag/v0.8.0-rc.25-mesh) 14. Do a `particle flash --usb tinker-0.8.0-rc.25-boron.bin` 15. Hit RST button and the Boron should blink green and eventually breathing cyan * * * Sorry for the lengthy steps but I hope this sheds some light on why :particle: spent lots of effort getting the Mobile app + BLE working in the background. There's folks who are having issues with BLE and I hope we have that resolved soon to have a smooth onboarding process! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.particle.io/t/unable-to-set-up-boron-lte/45166)._
