may not be your case totally, but look it anyway.

Thanks - some similarities but not completely.

I should have added in my first post that in fact I could not send or receive any SMS, couldn't make or receive any call and although the data APN would attach I couldn't get any data via LTE.

I do have some good progress though:

• I deleted all the downloaded stuff I had and started with a fresh download of the FOSS firmware and checked all the sha512sums. I also downloaded a fresh copy of the 30.200 ADSP. I could flash them happily and it made no difference. I even tried ./flashall twice in a row followed by the HLOS twice, nada.
  
• I meticulously followed the Going back to stock instructions (rather than ./flashstock) and I do seem to have a fully functioning EG25GGBR07A08M2G_30.006.30.006 - SMS, calls and data are all functioning.
  
• I tried to use fwupdmgr on pmOS and it wont do any up (or down) grades
  

Next to try is to flash Biktorgj's 0.7.4 again - I want the SMS interface (for alarms etc) but am a bit nervous about why I patently failed to do it properly before! Watch this space

OK, so tried a FOSS flash again, have a Frankenstein setup again except SMS & calls seem to work.

First the log of my attempt to flash in the same order as the recovery instructions above (i.e. aboot last)

System log says community_fw

Code:

[   37.845272] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-platform
[   37.992120] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2c7c, idProduct=0125, bcdDevice= 3.18

But it still thinks it is stock and wont play nicely with the SMS interface.

Code:

$ echo 'AT+QGMR' | sudo atinout - /dev/ttyUSB2 -

EG25GGBR07A08M2G_30.006.30.006

OK
[csn@PPP ~]$ ./sendsms.sh +223344556677
20:58:48 sxmo_modemsendsms.sh: Couldn't send text message (error: couldn't send the SMS: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Message.Unknown: Unknown message error: 350')
Couldn't send text message (error: couldn't send the SMS: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Error.Message.Unknown: Unknown message error: 350')

Guess I will flash properly back to stock and stick with that for now
