Hi,

I'm trying to run the latest osmocom-bb git on a Motorola C118 phone.
After a minor problem with the build (as you may've noticed in the
patch I've sent). I got to the point of successfuly running layer1 on
the phone and the mobile app on the PC (I have also enabled TX). The
process seems to be stuck on trying to perform a location update. The
status of the ms is always either:

show ms
MS '1' is up, MM connection active
  IMEI: 000000000000000
     IMEISV: 0000000000000000
     IMEI generation: fixed
  automatic network selection state: A1 trying RPLMN
                                     MCC=104 MNC=002 (104, 002)
  cell selection state: connected mode 1
                        ARFCN=19 MCC=104 MNC=002 LAC=0xb00f CELLID=0x4fd9
                        (104, 002)
  radio ressource layer state: connection pending
  mobility management layer state: wait for RR connection (location updating)

or

show ms
MS '1' is up, service is limited (pending)
  IMEI: 000000000000000
     IMEISV: 0000000000000000
     IMEI generation: fixed
  automatic network selection state: A1 trying RPLMN
                                     MCC=104 MNC=002 (104, 002)
  cell selection state: C3 camped normally
                        ARFCN=19 MCC=104 MNC=002 LAC=0xb00f CELLID=0x4fd9
                        (104, 002)
  radio ressource layer state: idle
  mobility management layer state: MM idle, attempting to update

OsmocomBB>

I think, that because of this I can't make any calls or send sms (all
the requests are being rejected):

OsmocomBB# call 1 <X>
call 1 <X>
OsmocomBB#
% (MS 1)
% Call has been rejected

The log information from mobile when it's trying to do a location
update is show below:

Can you provide me any hints on how to debug this ? Why is the

Thanks in advance for your help.
