Did you do this with a SIM inserted but with no credit? I wonder what would have happened with no SIM at all inserted? In that case it could not find the MNC and other information so I wonder if the process would have been deferred?

If so, it seems like a workround for reflash would be to boot with no SIM card, create .cherry_state and then reboot with the SIM.
