OK I have raspbery pi 3 A+ and cant for the life of me get this pi-star working.

I flash the SD card in a linux environment on zorin OS using etcher.

Now if I add the wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot section on the SD Card as stated to do, it creates a boot loop the pie just keeps displaying the first image below and rebooting time and time again never actualy loading pi-star.

If I leave out the wpa_supplicant.conf from the boot section on the SD Card then pi-star loads but I cant access it anywhere it tells me in the second image.

Can anyone help

creating it with this website under pi tools WI-FI generator.

managed to get it working using pi writer And my mobile as all of my computers in the house have no wi-fi all ethernet conneted to the router
Unfotunatly though after a reboot of the pi it just halts saying

You've either got SD card issues (counterfeit, or just incompatible), or whatever you are using to write the image is not working correctly.

Get a different brand/size of SD card and reimage.

Hi.
Yes although I had tried 4 diferent Sandisk Ultra's the problem persisted so went over asda and bought a new SD card 32gb Kioxia Eceria (toshiba I belive) now all working great.

Yhanks for the help
