The main servers crashed and have to be replaced so it's going to be a while.

Their Twitter posted yesterday saying they hope to be up in 24 hours, so hopefully by tomorrow.

[Q] OTA update location and time/date?

When you get the JI6 ota update please just post your Location (city,state) and the time/date you got it.
This will give us a feel how the update is rolling out around the country.
Thanks

Why not follow the thread that is already made with this with 100's of replies on what time and where people got it? No need for this thread.
Because there are 100s of replies to sort thru about other things. I just want to know where and when.
I have seen one from Hawaii receiving the ota today.

My brother got the update today early in the morning, but I didn't get anything yet. Everett, wa.

Not sure what good this will do. It's spread out over the rest of the month. Someone will get it in like Dallas and the guy down the block won't. All you can do is wait just like the past updates from tmo there is no rhyme nor reason to how ppl get it. Now ppl will say why did so and so get it in nyc and not me?
second that, they don't push it in an ordered sequence. it's pretty damn random, they roll it out slow so they don't overload the servers.

New update?

Yesterday a notification came up on my screen for a FOTA update. It didn't offer any detail and I haven't been able to find anything online about what is in the update or what it's supposed to fix.
I declined the update and it said it will reappear at the next scheduled update check - of course, it didn't tell me when that is.
When I go to the Settings menu and do a manual check for firmware and HTC updates, it says there are none.
If anyone can explain to me what's going on, I would really appreciate it.

Just installed without a hitch. Hope this does the job! Look for it in Service Station in your apps.

I've had the update for a few days now and have not experienced a single failure to wake. As far as I'm concerned the problem is fixed. Toshiba has done a tremendous job of resolving problems quickly, posting updates and keeping its user infromed. Well done Toshiba!
Impossible as it was only released today. Maybe you are looking at the prior 2 updates available... !

Nope, tis for sleep of death.
Well, my ever-present SOD has disappeared since the update - so far. I don't know that I would go so far as to call it fixed if I were Toshiba, though. On both forums.toshiba.com and thriveforums.org, a number of people are reporting that the SOD persists in spite of the update. In addition to that, people who had no random reboots are now experiencing them. So maybe this is a partial fix, but it doesn't seem like it was just one issue causing all the problems.

If he has had the update for several days it's not the SOD fix update... So as I said before, impossible as it was only released today... Errr, now yesterday at this point... Less than 24 hours ago anyway...

Oh yea, I misread. If it was several days, then yes, it was the previous OTA, not for sleepies of dooooooom.

Actually...
...he's right that he's had it for a few days, and you're right that it was only released yesterday.
Toshiba did a test run of the update with a handful of users who first reported the issue over on their support forums. They wanted to run it through the paces with regular users before sending it out to the masses. That's the update he's referring to, not any older ones.
Toshiba asked that the testing be kept quiet. So, it's not surprising that most people would be confused about it.
Is there some form of manual install for said update? Here in Canada there's no updates listed in Service Center so I'm stuck with a semi-bricked device that needs to be rebooted any time I need to use it.
Seriously though, how does a company release a tablet with a bug like THIS!?

I will gladly share, as soon as it gets pushed to US devices, seems it's going everywhere else.

Yes, US has been the very last region to update both times, so far, and I expect it will be again this time, too. The second update didn't take long at all to get to every US user, though, once the US update pushed. By the time I got my notification everyone else already had it and the update URL was all but pointless. I'm not really all that concerned with getting this one, but man I hope that 6.0 update hits every region fast. We're building a larger user base now, though, so maybe we'll get lucky and XDA members from each region will be among the early people to get the push notification.

For whatever reason, they start the soak tests later here than other places also. I don't think they've even started the soak tests here yet.

new update today (8/29)

Got a new update today. N950USQS5CRG9. August security patch, not sure what else. Verizon site doesn't have anything and the link on the update wasn't playing nice either.

I sure wish sammobile or updato would get that new firmware uploaded Im stuck on unlocked firmware because they pushed out the v5 bootloader update and verizon was trailing behind... need to go back to verizon firmware to get back wifi calling. if only samsung played nice with their unlocked software my google google pixel has wifi calling just like my verizon google pixel..
Same here, anxiously waiting to reset my phone for the same reason. Would love to get back WiFi Calling.

So that is the N950U1, I've only been looking at N950U... are they technically the same?
Also, I see CRF6 which I guess I could technically install to get on the install path, but the latest is CRG9.
I'm about halfway with my download from SamMobile, did you go the route from updato?
I actually just sent mine out for warranty it had screen burn figures this would become available quite literally the day after I ship my phone out..

I'm pretty sure his phone will come back with the latest update on it anyway.. They did it to mine even when I asked them not to update it. They obviously didn't care and updated it anyway..

Sorry but your phone is on bootloader version 5 and only version 1, 2 and 3 are rootable. There's nothing you can do at this point.

Try using the N950USQU5CRH6, you'll need to download and flash it yourself.. I'm using that and I get close to 1 hour for every 10% of battery life I'm also using package disabler pro to.
Where did you find CRH6 to download?

My Bat drained to 1% just before the update so I chalked up the poor Bat performance to me letting it drain to far. So thats kinda good news to me cause some way or another Ill fix that.
