In some versions, the keyboard settings will be different when you login compared to after log in. If you can login with a password but can't authenticate after login, that could be the issue. You might be typing gibberish letters and don't even know it because the password is hidden when you're typing it at login.I've got one of the PmOS ones that just came out, but that sounds familiar. When I boot the phone, the password is hidden, and the keyboard looks a certain way. When I try su or sudo bash or whatever, the keyboard looks completely different, and of course, nothing appears on screen when typing a password in the terminal.
So, make sure to update the OS? Well...the whole reason I wanna be rooted is so I can run a little program that'll randomize my MAC address. The whole point is to get that running before I connect to WiFi, otherwise it's moot.
So just download the update on a USB, right?
