Not connecting to cellular network
Just got done changing the IMEI to one I know would not be an issue with Puretalk, and it still will not connect (Mobian).
After that I tried it on Manjero booting from an SD, and the result was the same as previous attempts.
Also booted Arch on an SD, same behavior. But it did at least indicate "Network type": LTE, gsm or unknown. I think in that order
Also booted the test OS and all the tests passed on it. Does that check definitively rule out the possibility of a hardware issue?
So high level recap:
It still will not connect to cellular network.
Carrier (blank)
Network Type - Unknown
Signal - 20-70%
Network Status - Searching, Not registered, or unknown
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So high level recap:
- Updated modem firmware using community varient, using the "firmware" app: version is now 0.7.0
- Verified APN settings
- Changed IMEI
- Tried Manjero (sdcard) and Mobian (clean installed Mobian at leaset once)
- Booted the test OS, passes all tests
