Cosmo Communicator - General Discussion / In a pickle
« on: August 05, 2021, 01:36:17 am »
I've got myself in a bit of a pickle.
Long version
I've been running Ubuntu Touch on a Cosmo Communicator for a while without incident, until last weekend.
I noticed I was getting no network coverage, and I have been unable to get it back.
After a lot of unsuccessful tinkering I did a fresh flash from recovery mode as per Planet instructions:
https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo)
with a 'Wipe data/factory reset', 'Change the partition table of your Cosmo', 'Install custom OS on your Cosmo' (Debian into Slot 3).
Then I reinstalled Ubuntu Touch into Slot 4 and thought all would be good, but still no network.
I have tried a couple of sim cards from different providers, in Android, Debian and Ubuntu Touch with no joy. I have tried the sims in another (damaged but functional) Cosmo, and get network no problem.
At the time the issue appeared I had just been tinkering with SSH and Libertine to install LibreOffice:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html
https://askubuntu.com/questions/866156/how-to-install-libreoffice-on-ubuntu-touch
but all was working well until I realised I had lost network.
Short version
Could I have bent some mobile network setting in a way that would not be fixed by a factory reset and flash (that I could reset by some other means), or may I have a hardware problem?
Any help very much appreciated, thanks in advance.
