Problem adding Thingy:91 in the nRF Cloud

[T1mS_]

Hello,

I try to add a Thingy:91 to the nRF Cloud after I received it today. The sim card got's activated without a problem. When I try to key in my IMEI and the Pin which is printed on the label I receive this error: "There was an error adding your device. It wasn't found. Is it connected?"

How to solve this and add the device to my account?

Hi! 

Can you confirm that the Thingy:91 is on and the LED is blue and blinking.

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi Heidi, 

I think it is more like a blue-withe breathing in a two seconds on and around 5 seconds off interval.

Okay, thank you. I'll have to check on this issue with the developers and get back to you. 

[Heidi-Irene Harvey Sollie]

Could you send a screenshot of the error message as well?

[T1mS_]

This?

[Heidi-Irene Harvey Sollie]

Yes, thank you. 

Could you also connect your Thingy:91 to your computer via USB and use a program like Termite or PuTTY to read the output and add it here. Use these configurations (except for the port)

This is what I got after around 5 minutes:

I tried a different sim card and I get the same result.

Any new information from your site, Heidi-Irene Harvey Sollie?

Another thing which is might important: I live in germany. If I look at the deployment map nb-iot or lte-m should be covered... https://www.gsma.com/iot/deployment-map/ 

[Heidi-Irene Harvey Sollie]

Could you follow the list here in this Thingy:91 FAQ to update to the latest firmware. You can find both the modem firmware and application firmware packages on the Thingy:91 webpage.

However, according to the iBasis coverage map there is limited coverage in Germany, so that could be the root of the issue.

What is meant by this:

Connect the Thingy:91 to the nRF9160DK board’s “Debug out” port using a 10-pin JTAG cable.

I only have a usb cable and I don't have a  nRF9160DK board

EDIT: I found a jlink device and now the nRF Programmer recognize the device.
