I am trying to figure out why I cannot get temperature sensors working connected to my RPi2. I have followed almost every possible guide on the internets without luck and the answers* provided here does not seem to work for me. So now I am posting my own question to see if anyone can lead me the right way.
I have NOT tried to run device-tree-compiler becuase I am not fully aware how it works. Would this be necessary?
*Dallas 1-wire temperature sensor not working , DS18B20 no longer working

I have to admit that I am a total Linux-novice so I might be missing something fundamental here. I studied network engingeering and have been working as an IT-tech for a few years. Thought the Rapsberry Pi was going to be easy but it's been a humbling experience so far. :)
I have tried two different DS18B20's and another tempsensor(Pico T0-92). I get a steady current of 3.30 Volts between 3v3 and GRND. Between datapin and GRND I usually get 0.80 Volts, and beteween datapin and 3v3 is usually about 2.50. So I am assuming the sensors and connections are good. I have tried with 4.7K, 10K and without resistor with same results. I have successfully been turning LEDs on and off.
I have now done a fresh install of Raspbian Jessie. I have had the same issue in Raspbian Jessie Lite and Ubuntu Mate.
First thing I did was to update the system.
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot
rpi-update
reboot
I then found this thread and thought I would give the following a try: DS18B20 w1-gpio Device Tree gpiopin NOT = 4 . I started by modifying /boot/config.txt.
sdtv_mode=2
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=21
followed by a reboot and connecting my sensors to gpiopin21(#40 on RPi) (Results does not change if using other gpiopin.)
lsmod now showing:

dmesg is showing me the same errors as before:
[ 4.573118] Driver for 1-wire Dallas network protocol.

...and that message keeps spamming dmesg.
EDIT, forgot to mention listed devices. (Where the serial is changing)
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /sys/bus/w1/devices/
pi@raspberrypi:/sys/bus/w1/devices $ ls
aa-d6baaaaaaaaa w1_bus_master1
And sometimes more gets added. (With only one sensor connected)
pi@raspberrypi:/sys/bus/w1/devices $ ls
aa-6ebaaaaaaaaa aa-debaaaaaaaaa aa-f5baaaaaaaaa w1_bus_master1
Would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light on this for me or just try to point me in the right direction.
No need to beat around the bush, just call me an idiot if that is the case. :)
