[Q] WW bootloader and ROM in US purchased TF700?

[Pawan90]

Hey experts,

I have a tf700 I purchased in US and I live in India.

I have used CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.6 US version and had no problems whatsoever. Now I want to upgrade to CROMI - X 4.6.9. However, when I installed CROMI - X 4.6.9 I couldn't get the Wifi to work. The network connects fine but I don't get internet access (and not just for the play store no internet access at all). I have tried both US and WW build versions of the ROM.

The bootloader I installed was of US version listed in the ROM's thread. I have no problems with CleanROM 3.4.6 on this same bootloader but CROMI X doesn't seem to support Wifi.

Please suggest a solution. I think I may be the last one with what people keep saying is an ancient ROM for the tab. :crying:

Can I install a WW bootloader on a tab that I purchased in the US and will it solve my problem?

What other solution is there?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I couldn't post on the ROM's thread as I need to have posted at least 10 posts before I can post on a development thread.

You can try this:

Before you try this, please backup your system in case of bootloop.

1. Go to your build.prop and find these entries: Put the Number Sign (#) in front of the Net.tcp.buffersize, please see below.

net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
#net.tcp.buffersize.umts=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

2. Save and restart your device.
3. Boot into recovery and wipe both Caches.
4. Reboot and see if it works.

Please report back and Good luck.

Can you ping your router from the tablet?

Thanks for the quick response. Tried the method you suggested. Still not working. :crying:
While I installed the WW build ROM the locale in the build.prop file still shows US should i change that? the bootloader is of the US version btw.

Go to your Wifi setting and check to see if you have IP Address assigned to your tablet. If not, you can set it as a static IP to your tablet on your router instead of dynamic. If it does not work, then it is beyond my knowledge on this matter. Somebody can help you out, sorry. :crying:

How do I do that? I see that my tablet's MAC id is shown as connected to the router. How do I assign an IP address to my tablet?

Man do I feel silly. Especially becuase the problem seemed to be that of DNS. Changed the wifi network to static IP and set the DNS to google DNS and viola! worked like a charm. Thanks for you help LetMeKnow and _thats. You guys rock.

Cheers!
