My S7 is completely new and was sent to me a couple of days ago. But after some usage, the phone turned off its WIFI/WLAN.
I thought it just was the phone going a bit crazy but after I wanted to turn my WIFI back on It wouldn't turn on.
But now without any Internet connection, I cannot install the latest updates that may have fixed it.
I also searched on google after a possible answer to my problem, but all I found is stuff that even a 12-year-old knows.
So now I am trying my luck here.
But I tried some off them including a Hard Reset, wiping the cache partition, etc.
None of the above worked for me.
Wiping the cache partition temporarily helped, as I was able to connect to a WIFI signal.
But it sadly ceased to work again.
So, I will send some Screenshots and that's it.
I hope you could help me or even other people that have this problem!

I'm new and do not know how to flash.
:laugh:I'm new to the whole flashing stuff. I'm a bit worried that I may break/brick my phone.
Still, appreciate your help.
I will try to flash it, since I can look up a easy YouTube tutorial.

Sorry, but I also tried this many times, with no succes.
What operating system? Latest Oreo?
If not can you update?
Sounds like potential faulty device. Can you take it back?

Yes, I have the latest Oreo installed.
The WiFi normally works fine and I have managed to even get it working for a whole day, but after I restarted my phone it wasn't working.
I think I can get it taken back, this is a pretty new phone since it came from the phone insurance company. I got it as a present from the previous owner after it came from the insurance company.

I hope your issue is resolved but looks like a buggy blcp. Have you tried flashing? Yes though bricking is always possible but if you follow a guide step to step it shouldn't happen. Goto sammobile, get latest firmware for your country and flash. This should solve your issue. Odin is tool made by samsung so flashing through is safe, if you follow all the steps.

This just came up on my tab this morning. Anyone else get it or know what it may be?

Do you guys know the size of the update?
Nothing here in the UK (again).
There was no mention of the size of the update.
It is 3.22mb
I'm in the US, mine updated, took about 20mins, lots of updates, faster, better fonts, well worth it
how do you get those updates?
did you enabled the update function under settings?
It has been almost two hours and I can not get my tab to turn on. It was fully charged and unplugged when I hit update.

If you are just getting a black screen after trying to apply the update you can clear this up (if rooted with CWR). If that applies to you boot in to CWR, wipe cache, wips Dalvik, reboot. It will be as if the update was never downloaded. Several folks reported this and this was a clear resolution - short of restoring a backup.
If you did not install CWR, are not rooted, or have no idea what I am saying above I can not be of any help at this time. Sorry.
Those of you that installed the update, were you rooted? If so, did you keep root?
Im rooted running a TW rom, got this update and rebooted, nothing happened, hung at black screen. Was very pissed. Whiped cache/davlik as instructed in this thread and was able to boot back into my tab =D
I recieved the updated (in DFW)
I am not rooted.
size 3.22mb
and Yes things seem to run a lot faster. (Example.... Field Runners loads twice as fast for me now!!!)
Anyone else that is Rooted install the update and all work out well?
Darn it, the progress bar is getting stuck at 28%. It is always something...
unrooted, btw.
Thanks guys. Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm back and running thanks to you.

Installing on rooted device
My Tab 10.1 is rooted and running a custom kernel but not a custom ROM. I tried to do an OTA update but it didn't work (same as others). Is there an issue updating firmware on a rooted device? Will updating "unroot" my device?
Thanks
Hey there. I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S5. Recently I realized the WiFi Hotspot I'm paying for just doesn't work. It enables. It allows devices to connect. It remains turned on. But any device that connects to my phone fails to achieve an Internet connection.
Yesterday I took my phone in to a Sprint representative who spent a valiant amount of time trying to fix my phone. Unfortunately when he entered ##72786#, the phone started an update process that completely screwed up my activation. I believe he later reprogrammed the phone, but the S5 is still obsessively trying to "finish" activating.

(fun fact: right now when I google "reporting firmware version to server ", nothing is returned. Maybe this'll put it on the map.)
When it's done trying, I see "firmware update not completed."
I've been seeing these messages since yesterday. And I hadn't no idea if any of this has to do with my device being rooted. Rooting is really all I've done, no ROMs or anything of that nature have been attempted... only SDFix and SELinux Mode Changer were run using it.
But I HAVE had activation woes before. When I enabled tethering on my phone, it took the better part of the day for sprint to reactivate it. And I was flying, so the process took several major cities before its success. And this was well before I rooted.
Tl;dr is it possible to use the stock Hotspot and reactivate your sprint phone while rooted with your device in a Custom status?

I'm probably just going to factory reset my phone. Is it safe to do when rooted?

I did it via Samsung Kies... this seemed safest. I used to have negative experiences with custom ROMS and ultimately decided this was the best way to go forward.
P.S. Kies is like iTunes but it doesn't suck and it doesn't require a whole lot of authentication. I just learned this. I did a text message backup and restore and that worked great. An app backup was a lot more hit-and-miss; only the apps were backed up, not the data.
So you fixed it this way? ☺

I have a Note 3 N9005 which was working perfectly fine until fews days back it's display started showing this pattern (as shown in photo). It gets normal, once I restart the phone.
So guys I want to know whether it is a hardware issue or is it some problem with my ROM?
PS. Im running it on official Lollipop ROM flashed using Odin, but not updated OTA.

That doesn't look good at all mate. Seems like something wrong with the panel, hardware, yes. Because no ROM is out there which could create a mess like that. But I would be more than happy to be wrong.

You may have some corrupted system files.
- Please factory reset your phone (through android settings), flash ROM again (KSA or NEE lollipops are fine), reset your phone again, this time in recovery.
- If again doesn't work, remove battery from your phone, keep pressing your power button, and leave it without battery for a few hours.
Place your battery back in and hope for the best.
- You may also consider also that your battery may be defective.
- If nothing solved your problem, try reverting back to KitKat.
If after all these options, nothing solved your problem, that it's very likely to be hardware related.

I have the exact same issue, initially it was just a few lines not the complete screen, but now its exactly the same case as of your's. I am sure its a hardware issue, i have tried everything format, stock, reset knox etc. nothing worked. it started after a few "very humid" rainy days, so i guess it is due to humidity, i am thinking of a screen replacement.
what have you done till now?
I just took the phone to a local repair shop. The guy replaced the main board and it just worked perfectly.
The problem was basically with the board and not with the screen or ribbon.
I was offered repair of the current board for 40$ and replacement of the board for 100$.

Dear all,
My wife's Note 4 was updating Facebook app 2 days back. But phone became very slow, so she took the battery out and try to reboot the phone. After than, she was unable to start the phone anymore.

Hmm, don't know then mate, it should have worked. Maybe others can help you.
Try someone who can flash with jtag. I had the same problem and no matter what i did, it led me to flash a pit file and brick mine forever. Now my last hope is a guy who can flash with jtag coz my N910F wont even start. Unfortunantely its vacation period so i have to wait for him to be back. Good luck my friend. Keep us posted.

The guy at the phone shop (in Singapore) told me that it'll cost about USD$120 to replace the mainboard of the Note 4. Apparently, there are a lot of such failing recently till the mainboard is out of stock. Will need 1 week for the mainboard to come.
Anybody encounter similar problem?
Just curious, does anybody has the solution?
Ok. I guess it is a hardware failure already.

I've been out of the loop for a while, so I'm hoping to get some help.
I bought an AT&T S7 edge when they came out and with all the new nougat talk recently, I was wondering when I'd get the update.
I then realized there has been like 10 updates from AT&T and I never received any of them OTA. So I'm still on OG firmware.
Every time I search for the update in settings it says "Current software is up to date."
Can I install the new update manually? Or do I have to install each of the updates in order somehow?
The only thing I ever did to my phone when I received it was merge the internal memory with sd card so it all is one block ( I forget what the technical term was). Could that have made me miss getting the OTA updates for some reason?
I never rooted this S7 edge.
Thanks.
