Root Cannot Auth. to Any Wifi. Expiremant with different firmware

I have three LG Motions. Two of them are active on the MetroPCS network. Both have Firmware version [F] (MS77010f_01). I use the 2nd Int recovery on both of those and the phones seem to working great.

The third Motion is not connected to MetroPCS and it has Firmware Version [C] (MS77010c_03). I did not get a chance to setup backups with it and I am in a bind here. For some reason the phone will not connect to any wireless access point. I have read everything on the forums and cannot find a solution. The phone can read my wireless router and many of my neighbors but it will not authenticate even to an open network. When trying to connect , it tries to authenticate 2 to 3 times then it saves the network. I will then try to reconnect again and eventually it says network out of range. When I search for networks it finds my router and still will not authenticate. I would like to use this phone to do some testing but I need to resolve this issue immediately.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone know if flashing a different firmware would help my situation?
Can I dissemble the phone to see if it is a hardware problem?
Comments or suggestions would be very appreciated.
 
I tried flashing firmware c which came with the phone and I tried firmware f but I still can not connect to any wireless router. I don't understand it
 
Yes I have tried factory reset. I have flashed different firmwares. I cannot figure this one out. I reallly need help. Is there anyway to diagnose the Wifi?

PLEASE Help!

Maybe wrong password???

If that isn't it, sounds like a hardware problem. If it hasn't been a month since you got the phone, they'll replace it for free. After the month it will be $15 to replace.

A month=one billing cycle.
 
after doing a factory reset and flashing multiple firmwares to the phone I have lost root and has no way how to install any applications to the phone. I've been trying to figure out how to use ADB to push applications to the phone or two at least root the phone is so I can get access to the root file system. Then eventually install recovery to it. But I cannot figure it out. I have the Android SDK like I said I'm trying to use ADB to force install apps and root. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that?

Yea, root doesn't want to take as easily now with my phone either. What you do is install the systembackup.apk, then reboot. Do not touch the phone. Give the phone a minute after it's booted. Run the script. If you get an error, factory reset and do it again.
to install an app via adb
adb install name_of_apk.apk

The apk must be in the same directory as adb. I suggest installing the systembackup.apk over adb this way so you don't have to keep on linking Google account over and over.
