GPY loss of attachment ability

[kjm]

I've managed to get 2 GPY lte modems into a state where they can no longer attach, presumably because of an AT cmd sequence

lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG=2;+CEREG?;+CEREG=0') 

I was evaluating. Since I'm now down to only one working GPY I've been trying to get them working again. So far I've tried;
ATZ
AT^RESET
AT+SQNSFACTORYRESET followed by AT^RESET
and reflashing the modems firmware
to no avail. Can anybody suggest something I haven't thought of? I guess I'm after something to erase the modem flash where it keeps the persistent results of changes wrought by AT cmds
Is there anybody with a surplus of GPYs willing to risk

lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG?') 

so I can see what the default modem should be?

I maybe got a clue to what's going on https://forum.pycom.io/topic/4915/gpy-pytrack-modem-won-t-attach-after-firmware-upgrade/7 with responses to print(lte.send_at_cmd("ATI"))
My one working GPY responds SEQUANS Communications VZM20Q UE5.0.0.0d whereas the dead ones reply PYCOM FiPy UE5.0.0.0d God knows how a cereg cmd makes the lte modem think its FiPy?!

I know this is a year later, but I'm in a similar boat .. my Pycom is now reporting same thing. I'm running FiPy though, 1.20.2.r4 ... everything was running just fine and I brought it in to flash from r1 to r4 then this happened. Its actually happened to 3x of mine now. So something isn't happy.

PYCOM
FiPy
UE5.0.0.0d

OK

Hi,
Over the last year we have changed a big part of our LTE stack, including changing the CEREG setting (in version 1.20.2.r2). Check whether the CEREG setting is set to 1, or change it to 1 using the following:

from network import LTE
lte = LTE()
print(lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG=1'))
