Fresh RatOS can't connect to WiFi or Ethernet

I reflashed the SD card with the newest RatOS as the old one was making problems. Downloaded Balena and successfully flashed the SD card. I inserted it into the Pi 4 and powered the board, but no WiFi came live, waited 15 min, and kept checking both on my phone and desktop.. I tried the Pi powered in the power outlet disconnected from the printer, and also connected to the printer + power. Then I plugged the Ethernet cable, this is how I used the printer before, and still could not connect. Later I downloaded Notepad++ and added the SSID and password, saved the file as wpa_supplicant.conf, inserted it back, and restarted, still could not access via http://RatOS.local/ or What can I do? please help.

are you sure you downloaded the right image? ethernet should always work

well, I think what worked was formatting the SD card from "create and format disk partitions' however I am stuck at "Option 'z_offset' in section 'bltouch' must be specified" I have uncommented bltouch. I have not touched the toolboard settings as I dont have. I've added the Z_offset Not sure what It wants

can't help unless you upload your printer.cfg screenshots are not helpful because it can actually be a error from another part of the config

understandable, here is the cfg

is it normal when using this, all steppers are whining? I got cooling on the drivers and decided to try, but they whine like hell xD ?
