Default Wifi will not connect

Here is what I have done...

I installed Starburst ROM and did a back up before doing so. I kept getting LOS with Starburst so decided to go back to stock and booted in clockwork and did a restore.

Now, my phone will not connect to my home network. When I try, it sees the network but just says obtaining ip. I know it is not a network issue, but an issue with the phone. I am back to stock kernel and stock ROM. Should I have did a wipe before restoring?

Any ideas? Thank you in advance for any and all help/responces.

I have the same problem. It worked before I rooted, now that I'm rooted running stock kernal, it says the same thing, "obtaining IP address" and it never connects.

I still don't fully understand how these Samsung android phones work as far as kernals and recovery, apparently you can't flash the recovery by itself, you need to flash a kernal with it, or the recovery is part of the kernal, I don't know.

try using the zedomax kernal or LOSt kernal, that should help with your problem
