It looks like you're facing quite a few challenges with that firmware update! Have you tried checking if the device is indeed unprotected or looking into different reset methods? Sometimes, systematic resets can be a bit tricky. On another note, if you're into fun gaming, you might want to check out Crazy Cattle 3D – it's an entertaining way to unwind after troubleshooting!

Okay, firmware updates, eh? Always a gamble! So, CLI updates can be finicky things, can't they? Been there, wrestled that particular beast. Scripting firmware updates...sounds like my kind of party, or at least a stressful afternoon. Reminds me of the time I tried updating my Raspberry Pi's kernel from the command line. It bricked, and I swore off command lines for a week after frantically trying to fix my beloved Pi. My Slither io score suffered greatly that week.

Hi!

I suggest that you use nrfutil instead. The nRF Command Line Tools are officially deprecated and are being replaced by nRF Util

See this page on how to update modem firmware using nrfutil: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrfutil/page/nrfutil-device/guides/programming_modem_9160.html
