Hi,

Recently i also worked on FOTA by LTE-M/NB-IOT , i am using nRF SDK CONNECT 3.0.0 , and i have successfully able to to ota , i have reviewed your logs and it is sucessfully connected with network .

+CEREG: 2,... — Searching/registering on the network
%MDMEV: PRACH CE-LEVEL 0 — Physical Random Access Channel attempt
+CSCON: 1 — RRC connection established
+CGEV: ME PDN ACT 0,0 — PDN (data) context activated
%MDMEV: SEARCH STATUS 2 — Search complete
+CEREG: 5,... — Successfully registered (roaming)
%XTIME: — Network time received
+CSCON: 0 — RRC connection released (normal after registration)

next part after this is , it will look for FOTA job which you have created on nrf cloud , if you dont see any logs after than this, this can be a known issue with NCS v2.7.0 (and potentially v2.8.0). in this it Failed to save FOTA job to settings, thats why you didnt see anything after this ever network registration, i suggest you to please add "CONFIG_SETTINGS_FILE=y" to prj.conf. Hope you are using lesson 9 example 6 code

Hi,

I would recommend you to capture a modem trace and try leaving it running for about 30 minutes. Can you please try this and let me know?

Best Regards,
