Ok, fairly sure this is a case of same symptoms different problem.

I removed the cellular antena and booted the device. NO ERRORS! This is not actually surprising. The phone simply assumed that I had no signal, there is no difference to the modem if it sends a request and either a, there is no one to reply or b the request never made it. Obviously the modem doesn't check radiation impedance to make sure there is an antenna there, that would be mostly useless.

Anyway, I reinsert the antenna with device still powered on. About 5 seconds later i have signal. Here is the syslog of this event:

Now, I removed and reinserted the antenna multiple times, same thing, no issues. just like going in and out of signal. Here is the Syslog event of taking out the antena:

Still looking for as much help as possible and thank you Omkar for the suggestion, but I believe this is not my problem.
