OTA Software Update/CTLB, For Jan.'21, For SM-N986U1(Just Now)! - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

Hey Troops! I just picked up another OTA firmware update/enhancements for my beast, SM-N986U1, CTLB(Jan.21).Received it sometime b-4 05:30 hrs.(EST) via my wc, affectionately referred to as t-mob(not sure after 10 yrs. with 'em what the "t" represents, but trust me the "mob" stands for mostly over bull****!) lol
It's coded as an update /enhancements pkg., as many of you know by the "U" in place of an "S", or Security pkg.(If your confused, that's because I'm a Pro, and good at it..getting folks mixed-up)! For that, I have provided a screenshot with developer notes explaining it's usage in great detail with my s-pen, to help resolve any confusion I may have caused you(unintentional I promise, see arrow). Happy Friday, Ya'll!

You're a bit behind the times. Most of us got it around Monday or late last week.

The last one you received CTLB was an actual software update or enhancements received, as if they tweaked something in the coding to make a device function run smoother, for example. The first OTA we received CTL7 was the security patch for January '21.

Thanks, @znel52 and @evnStevn!

The "I didnt get my update on 9/30 because google forgot the admin password" thread.
SO when you get your update, please post here and let us know if it fixed anything..........
Or if it broke more things and now your battery only lasts 5 hours.....like the last update did to me.
Edit: as of 8:40 pm on 9/30/2010
We learned this evening that there were administrative issues getting this software loaded to Google's servers. We don't yet have an expected time when this will be available but will update you as soon as possible. Please see the statement below that was sent by the Sprint Product Management team:
We were planning to release an update for your Samsung Epic 4G on 9/30. The file was delivered and on track for distribution but late this afternoon, we learned that an administrative issue prevented Google from releasing the update as we had planned. We are working to resolve the issue and will provide an update as soon as we understand the new delivery schedule.
We would like to clarify that the timing of this update has nothing to do with the 30 day return window that many of you on these blogs have been discussing and that this delay has nothing to do with any last minute changes within the release package itself. The delay is simply due to an administrative issue that we are working to resolve.

IMHO, google and sprint and samsung have failed us one time too many.
My dad is ready to upgrade his phone tomorrow and he will be getting an evo at all costs. There is NO WAY I'm letting him get an epic after this clusterF**K.
I have 7 days till I'm 30 days out. Right now it's not looking good for the epic.
I checked this morning, no update available for me, and of course they didn't post it on Sprint's support page for the Epic. Fail Sprint, Fail. Guess i'll have to wait

Major update rolling out today that "fixes" the 3g upload..
Today begins the roll out of the maintenance release. It will be slowly released to all clients over the period of four to five days. Not everyone will get it on the first day.
^ Just to stop the "I didn't get it today and Sprint sucks and I'm canceling" gripes that always pop up.

Those will be posted regardless of you posting this or not. People will see the "I got the update on ...." thread, skip to the last page and type garbage and smash their keyboard every way possible because their phonez interwebz upl0d3 is c4pp3d.
I'm hoping a few people on XDA are in the first batch of releases, that way the update can be spread out to everyone else on XDA.
This upload cap is not even a big concern for me although i do like my phone to be perfect. GET WIFI
I agree there. I'm hoping someone will package it all up nice and fancy like the last update and I can update sometime today. would be nice
FYI: I think some of us heard about this update from a moderator on the Sprint forum regarding 3g upload cap. That's at least where I verified this update was on the way over today and the next 3 days.

You have no idea how big of a deal it is to people like me. And 90% of the people who want to use this phone to upload pictures and files to various different places.

Ahh, begins at Noon EST.
Hope I get the push, I have DI07 but have root/cwm recovery and most of the sprint garbage-ware removed. I'll probably just get it in update.zip form from whoever gets it first on XDA
Wish they'd just make it a downloadable update...
12am
I think that's midnight the morning of, isn't it? I think one of us needs more coffee and I'm not sure who it is.
It would be much nicer if it was a download... I'm sure someone here will post it as soon as they get it!
It begins at midnight EST beginning 9/30/2010 not at Noon =p

Update to correct SOD on thrive now available!

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... !

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.

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!?

[Q] Verizon Galaxy S7 Nougat update.

Hi everybody.
Do anybody know when Verizon Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge Nougat update and reason to delay?
I cannot make sense ever major provider(such as AT&T,Tmobile,Sprint) is updated but Not Verizon.
Thanks.
I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon didn't get the update until after the announcement/release of the S8.

Yep. It's really disappointing.
Why? Because f**k us, that's why!
Likely just an issue of them taking their sweet-assed time putting their bloatware applications into the firmware, and I'm sure they've been extra slow after the official 7.0 worldwide rollout started and was halted for a whole like 2-3 days after a couple of bugs surfaced.
I always get a new phone by the time Verizon gives me an update. I know someone that got nougat on his T-Mobile GS7 Edge and someone that got her GS7 update last night on Sprint.

I don't think it's related to Verizon bloat considering the turbo 2 is getting the update now. I'm really annoyed that one of the top selling, highest rated phones of the year is taking this long to update.

This! Get it together verizon, every other S7 is getting the update why aren't we? Kinda furstrating and makes me want to leave verizon or starting purchasing unlocked models so I can root them and get updates on a regular basis instead of waiting for Verizon to release an official.
Le Sigh
Verizon has always been one of the last (if not the last) to roll out updates.

Stuck on buggy beta
It would be nice to receive the final update after being stuck on the beta for months, where every time my phone shuts off it resets all my settings and themes. But oh well, I guess Verizon just doesn't care about their customers all that much.

That beta was unbearable. Constantly had issues with text messages on it for some reason. They would keep failing to send and I would miss messages from people as well. Very annoying.

Bull****. T-Mobile updated the version number page for the Note 8 with today's date, yet NOT A SINGLE PERSON has verified receipt of PIE on the T-Mobile forum, Reddit, or here. I doubt they've even started pushing it yet.
According to Des, the Twitter PR guy, it'll get pushed as early as today and if not, Monday. They are updating the page and preparing to push. It was certified by Tmobile today.

Just checked his twitter account. He states that it was approved today. Where did you get the info on if it doesn't push today, then it will be Monday, because Des didn't say that in his tweet.

Cool. Thanks. Nothing like announcing something on a Friday and then making people wait until Monday for it. CRUEL. That's like waiting for UPS to deliver a package to you on a Friday that you can't wait to have, and then being told there was a delay and since they don't deliver on Sat or Sun, you've gotta wait till Monday. That's the worst.

My OTA is literally downloading right now. FINALLY!!!!!
Does anyone have N950USQU5DSC1_N950UOYN5DSC1_TMB.ZIP already downloaded on a faster
Got it at 12:01 am last night, so far I've noticed just a lot of visual changes, the clock is moved to the top left corner, and we get more options for the always on display. We finally get Bixby remapping, and it works really well. The Camera mode selections got simplified, and we even get Dolby Atmos support, Idk if anyone else reads the changelog, but apparently we dont need the Dock anymore for DeX support the Pie update allows us to use the way cheaper cable options. Overall it does kinda feel like a slight performance improvement, but let's be honest the Note 8 wasnt ever a slow phone. How is everyone enjoying Pie?
Have a T-Mo Note 8, checked Samsung Smart Switch this morning and have a 4GB update waiting. Anyone know where Smart Switch stores downloaded content? If I can find the update on my PC I'll be glad to share it.
I got mine this morning by manually checking at 8:30
Anyone know if I will have to wait longer to get the update since I have the unlocked model?
I used the app from play store samsung update checker and it took me right to the download. Downloaded full firmware in 28 minutes. 1000 times better than crappy Sammobile. Sammobile is absolute trash.
Use the Good Lock app to move the clock where you want (Left, middle, right).
Good Lock is a great companion app for Pie.
