Root tab 2 7 which has Android 4.0.4?

Hi everybody,
I have upgraded my Samsung Galaxy tab 2.7 to Android 4.0.4, but I can't connect to my home network anymore.
My tablet isn't rooted or anything.
Can I root it to fix the problem en where can I get those links?
Thanks.
Johanna

Not sure if rooting your device will fix the issue but this link will show you how to root.

I read those instr5uctions, but what does step 8 mean?
8. Connect your Tab
Connect to what?
Sorry for the stupid question.
Johanna

Plug the usb/charger cable into your pc that is running kies
You may want to listen to Sean's advice..(will rooting fix your problem?)

What else to connect again?
If rooting doesnt fix the connection problems what can I do then? Wait for a fix by Samsung?
Seems ridiculous.
Johanna

Rooting your tab & installing CWM would allow you to install a custom ROM
That is those actions alone would probably not fix your WIFI issues but installing a new ROM on your tab might.
I would suggest 1st trying to do a factory data reset. (found in settings backup and reset)
If that does not work you could then contact Samsung support online. You can find that option from going to the support section on the Samsung home page and following the instructions.

Ok thanks! I will try that.
But if I decide to root, do I have to install a new ROM on my tab then afterwards? And which one?

Sometimes if you reboot your wifi router helps too. This is not the most reliable device when it comes to wifi.

I did that already and that didn't help.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 also didn't see the network anymore. I created a guest account on the router and then my Samsung Galaxy S2 did recognise that guest account.
But my Tab 2.7 still sees nothing. It shows networks from people in my neighbourhood though.
So I guess you are right, it could have something to do with my router.
But I have no clue how to solve that.
I will try and get some help from Dlink.
Johanna

Turn off the wifi on the tab and turn it back on. I have the p3100 and it is quite bit of a pain when it come to switch from wifi-3g-wifi.

Not successfull

Tried that, but that didin't help.
I contacted the Dlink customer service and they couldn't figure out what is wrong. The router is working, so it is a problem between the update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 on my tablet and the router. The customer service is trying to find out what the solution could be and they are getting back to me.
I will let you know.
Johanna

Solved!
Ok it is solved!
The Dlink customerservice contacted Samsung in Taiwan and it was an issue with the preshared key in the router.
So I changed that key and changed the mode to WPA only and now my tablet sees the network again and I can connect.
Yesss!

Cool , glad it got sorted ! :victory:

Ok, are you on stock FW? If not, which one do you have?
Is your N8000 rooted?
If so, try to flash another modem.

Thanks to everyone of you that made an effort on helping me about this problem.
I did a factory reset from setting again and also manually did a hard reset from recovery mode but the bluetooth still doesn't want to come on.
I went to SETTING, ABOUT and STATUS and I saw an available mac address for wi-fi but the bluetooth mac address was Unavailable.
I will really appreciate any help for this bluetooth issue. Thanks in advance.

Just checked mine and with Bluetooth off, the BT MAC Address also shows as unavailable. It only shows up when I turn BT on.

I just flashed those 4 leaked Odin firmware files in latest Odin and everything is working perfectly since then. Bootloader is included in those 4 files, of course.

i had the same issue, just flash the bootloader again in custom recovery
edit: or try this:go to dialpad and call *#0011#; than tap menu, hit wifi and turn "wifi power save mode" off

I installed the deodoxed rooted frimware from cypher*(I am not sure about the name)
So do you think that I have to install the original one and wipe my data and everything again -_-
My Internet connection is very slow and barely installed this frimware I am using now
So if you have an easier workaround to fix this problem please share it with me
Thanks in advance ^_^
EDIT: I have also tried the wifi power saving thing but nothing happened

I upgraded my N8000 to 4.4.2 but the Wi-Fi network for working and for some reason it changes the proxy settings to manual. Only back to work properly on Wi Fi when I change the proxy for disabled. Someone is going through it?

Hi guys,

Every time I turn off the device, I need to insert again the password of all the WIFI connections.

Wifi/Network connectivity since Nougat

So I updated to Nougat on my Z5 32GB (6553) which is on EE in the UK.
I am finding the phone drops wifi connection (randomly almost) and will not re-connect unless I completely re-boot the phone.
Along with this, I'm finding that my network connectivity is just awful - but this may just be in my head because the wifi keeps dropping/cutting out.
I've gone through my router settings at home, nothing is different, and I don't have wifi sleep turned on.
I reset my network settings 2 weeks ago, hoping that would solve it, and then factory reset my phone this past weekend hoping that would solve it.
unfortunately I cannot unlock my bootloader, so I can't even root it and run logs.
Any suggestions?

Flash new firmware using flashtool, and wipe data and that.

reflash it, it can become buggy, don't ask question if you know the answer.

it can become buggy can it?
I'm asking the question to see if it is a common firmware problem - I highly doubt it is, as I'd imagine there would be a whole load of topics about it, and I can't find anything.
thanks for your "help".

How hard it is to try reflashing stock rom, it can help in 90% of cases, try different region.

Galaxy S7 restarts randomly!

Hey, XDA-ers!
I got the Android Nougat 7.0 update for my Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD (DUOS) back in January if I remember correctly. And the update process went like how it normally does. But ever since I got the Nougat update, my phone restarts randomly for no reason. At first it used to restart when I click on the 'Recent Apps' button to switch between apps. When I tap on the button, the phone vibrates and restarts. The phone never over heated before this happens. During this, the phone used to restart 2-3 times a day. This went on for 2 months. Then now, the number of restarts reduced to 1-2 per day, but the problem still persists. And now, it restarts even when I don't touch the 'Recent Apps' button. So, if any of you has had a similar experience or if any of you could help me out Please share it here. It would be GREAT!
Also just one more thing- Any of you seen any DRASTIC or worse changes in battery life of your Galaxy S7 after the Android Nougat 7.0 update? Please share your thoughts here and do suggest how you solved the problem. (My battery drains so fast that I sometimes charge it twice a day. I don't even use my phone for half of the day because I'll be at school and still the battery drain is bad! )

Factory reset. Backup your data via kies and then reset it.

Change your battery

What firmware version are you running? There's at least one version of Nougat that has issues with this

Hmm... and after the factory reset with no apps installed you are still rebooting?
Why dont you try to reflash your firmware via odin.
Download it from sammobile and reflash it.

Possibly. I can vouch for it being fixed on DQCF onwards, which is newer than DQC4. The temporary fix seems to be to use as little RAM as possible(try to cut down on background apps until the next update). That firmware isn't terribly old though. I would actually agree with trying a reflash first.

I think it is also possible to reinstall the same firmware with Smart Switch from the menu "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialisation". It's like Odin but much simpler especially for beginners. As for me, I am still in DQBO and I await the update DQD7 which is beginning to be deployed in some countries. If this is not going to solve the problem, I will try to reinstall the fimware with Smart Switch. What do you think ?

If it's restarting due to the firmware bug then DQD7 will most definitely fix it. Beware of the emergency recovery though. Ive not used Smart Switch but the "initialization" part sounds like it would wipe the device, though that could fix any issues. Backup first, if you can.
