[Q] Cant connect to wifi and su binary is wrong

[askhansen]

I have been running GingerMOD v0.5 and wanted to change to Exynos Extreme. When it was done flashing and rebooted I could not connect to wifi and my su binary was wrong and titanium backup could not get root permission. I tried to update it with no luck.

Then I flashed back to gingerMOD and all is well. Then today I tried to flash Androidmeda-HyperDroid-v1.0.0 and ended up with the same problems as last time.

I do understand flashing well and have not had this kind of problem before. Seems to me like it has something to do with gingerMOD as my phone runs as it should on that ROM, but when I flash another the problems apear.

Edit: I also noticed that when I turn my phone off it just restarts itself. I am not rebooting but powering off. Alot of wierd stuff happening on my phone now.

Does anyone know what this could be, and what I can do to fix it?

Edit: Dont know what I did, but it started working again when I woke up

Update the SU binary.

I tried to do that but it just created a .zip file in my root folder and told me to flash it from recovery. When I did it failed.

You'll need CWM to flash that zip.

edit: Try downloading superuser from the market and you should be able to update the su binary using the app upon reboot.

That is what I am doing, but think I got the su problem fixed by flashing the ROM a few more times. Now I am having problems with superuser 3.0.1 FC when I try to remove permissions from an app.

Also the wifi problem is the same. Can connect with my original SGS but not with the SGS II. Im about 4 meters away from my router so signal should not be a problem, and I was connected when I was running gingerMOD.

What happens when I try to connect:

I type in my PW as allways, and then its trying to obtain IP and then it disables and keeps doing the same thing over and over.

Any idea what this could be? As of now I can live with superuser just FC when Im trying to do something in the app. Apps do get root permission so all is well.
But the wifi problem is worse, cant live without wifi on a smartphone

Thx for previous tips.

Are you selecting the right encryption method?

 

[askhansen]

Yes, I am doing everything the same way I did it on the other ROM, but just keeps trying to obtain IP. Do you think this could be related to the ROM I am running now or the one I used before?

As I see it, it looks like the gingerMOD flash changed some settings because I am not having this problem on that ROM, but when I flash another the problem suddenly apears again. But what settings it could be I have no idea.

I just did a "hard reset" but it did not help. Have tried to flash the ROM a few more times as well with no luck.
