I have pretty same issue. And with switching to shr-u from shr-t issue
becomes stronger. But hackable:1 installed on sd turns on GSM very
quickly. So, to get GSM working under shr I do

/etc/init.d/frameworkd restart

and if it doesn't help I try

boot hackable -> wait GSM -> boot shr

often it helps.
