So in the beginning of January this year I thought I'd update my tablet since it had been pestering me with the notification so I did update it only problem half way through updating it said "error" ever since then whenever I boot it up it just tries to install the update but always shows "error". I've tried a lot of stuff that I'd used in the past when it broke but nothing works, I've updated the system in the past and it's never broke.

Here's a new one, at least for me...when I hit my system update check button in about phone, my Bionic is spitting out
"check for update is not available
at this time.
Try again later,"
Has anyone else ever seen this message? It looks like its happening on 4G or wifi, haven't forced 3g and tried yet.
Usually I expect the "Your phone is up to date" message, but this one's new to me.
I'm bone stock, btw...no rooting yet.
I got that a few times yesterday and then tried again 10min later and it ran the check successfully but didn't find an update. When I ran the check for updates this morning it found the update and downloaded/installed successfully.
Well, that's encouraging I suppose...every time I think I really like this phone, something like this pops up...ugh, I want bionic speed and HP, but with my OG droid and droid X's "it just works" reliability.
I think the only reason you're seeing this error is because the servers are under a very heavy load pushing out the updates. I never saw this error before yesterday. But I'm with you on the frustration factor. I'm on my 4th Bionic now, if I continue to get the black screen of death, random reboots, or data connection issues, I'm going to do whatever I can to get a different phone. I've never had to return a phone to Vz before this model, nor I have ever spent so much on a phone. I certainly don't feel like I'm getting what I paid for. How this phone made it thru user testing with these issues blows my mind.
I had been getting that message ever since I replaced my SIM a couple months ago. I figured it wouldnt interfere with me getting any OTA's, but last night I decided to do a factory reset to see if that cleared it up. Low and behold i hit system updates and it said my system was up to date. An hour or so later I did it again and I got the update!
Good to know. I read a thread somewhere, I think it pertained to battery issues, and someone suggested that when you first take the phone out of the box the first thing you should do is a factory reset b/c it helps with overall performance. I don't know if there's any truth to that but that's what I've done on all of my replacement Bionics and I do perceive there to be some improvement. I don't know if it was necessary but I ran the reset after receiving the OTA today too just to rule that out if I have issues going forward - that's the first thing tech support makes you do when you have problems from my experience anyway.
I've been getting that message a lot too when checking for the update. I got the update today and it installed fine. Still have the data drops though. VERY frustrating.
One think I HAVE noticed with this update is that the battery stats are completely reversed. It used to be the display was down in the 3-5% region, as well as the Android OS. Now, those 2 are at the top, and my phone has just been laying on my desk most of the day.
I am not rooted. I've been getting that message since I got the phone in October. It only happens when I am on 3G. I haven't checked it on 4G (don't live near one) and it says "...up to date" when I am on WiFi.

I am getting frustrated... I have been getting the same error for three days now. I am rooted, but am on 5.5.886 and everything still the same. My partner is still original stock, and he's getting the same errors as well. Perhaps this is a regional thing? Anyone in the DC area get the update rolled out to them?
Additionally, can I just flash the update file that is posted here on the forums to upgrade manually? Or should I just wait?
Works!
I was getting the same "check for updates not available at this time" message, however I rebooted (used Quickboot, battery pull is not necessary). After the reboot went back to "Check for upgrade" and it worked; BUT just like the previous upgrade the process checks your file system and if you removed/altered any bloatware then it will fail and reboot. After the first time, I decided instead to create a folder "bloatware" in the system direction and move all bloatware apps to that folder. So this time around all I had to do was move all the bloatware back to the "app" folder in one shot. Very easy and straight forward (I also wrote down the bloatware apk filenames so I didn't forget that I moved over last time). Tried the update again, installed just fine, and phone is up and running.
AND....root is INTACT!
Btw...I had no idea there was a new update available until my friend who just got a new Bionic said he's having problems rooting on software v5.9.902
So awhile ago I rooted my brothers tablet (I used Root Zenfone and also i rooted my own tablet with it and it didn't break.) and it wouldn't load all the way (Stuck on Asus boot logo) so I hard reset it (First time I tried rooting my tablet same thing happened just not with the demo) and it restarted and started saying "Sorry asus demo has stopped working" I've tried everything i can find on the internet and nothing works.

Hi,
I've owned my VERIZON Samsung Galaxy Note 5 since early December and have not rooted the device. Today while taking notes in lecture, the device began displaying notices for crashed background apps (Gmail has crashed, Nova launcher has crashed, etc.) The problem persisted for another hour, even after booting into safe mode. I wiped the cache and factory reset the device, however during setup, Samsung keyboard would crash along with other apps running in the background during setup (One time I got "Samsung Galaxy has stopped working"). The phone started increasingly randomly rebooting since the phone first began to malfunction.
Since the factory reset didn't seem to actually reflash the firmware, I downloaded OJ3 stock ROM and flashed successfully using Odin, however the phone began acting even more erratically and failed to boot 4 out of every 5 boot loops. I tried flashing OGJ, which failed to boot worse than OJ3. I just flashed OJ2, which seems to be more stable than the other flashes I tried, however I'm still getting sluggish performance, random reboots and crashes of background apps immediately after booting.
At this point I believe it is defective hardware and I should call in the warranty for a new phone.
Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any speculation on the source of the issue? What should I know going into attempting to exchange for a new phone?
Note 5 crash
Yep, have the same problem, but I have not attempted to Flash the Phone yet...
Did multiple factory resets, clear caches... but to no avail. There is no structure or pattern in crash rate. Although it is getting more often day by day...
Found no working sollution, but it feels like there is a bad memory segment or something. Everytime it randomly uses that segment... crash!
Really don't know. Will try to get warrenty fix.
Let me know if you found a sollution on your side?
Cheers,
Wim

OP here. Made a warranty claim, they seem to have replaced the motherboard as the solution. Complete repair experience from warranty claim to package back at my doorstep was less than two weeks, which is impressive for what I've heard about Samsung's support. Good luck!
I just updated my s6 with the marshmallow update. I keep getting this notification: "Security notice. Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone" I thought maybe it was because I turned off permissions for a lot of the stock apps like calendar, email, etc since I use other apps for those. But I've restarted 4 times over 6 days and the notice came up again today. How in the heck do I get it to go away? It is driving me nuts. From searching for info, it seems this has happened on other galaxies on other carriers with previous updates and getting a new update was the only thing to fix. Am I just SOL?
Anyone having this issue after updating to Marshmallow? I even just did a factory reset and didn't restore anything and it came up with in 10 minutes of using the phone again.
Hi, after doing my fire 7, my dad gave me his memopad 7hd k00b ( I believe) to try and "fix" Essentially I think it got rooted, and flashed, but something went wrong. On the start up/set up for android of some description, everything seems to pop up as stopped working, click ok. Everything, I've seen superuser, chrome etc. By clicking OK on all these boxes, You can get to screen 5 of 8, where it asks to set up google account, then you get process.com.google.process.gapps has stopped. To then try and fill in screen 5, you have to click ok to that message, however it then resets the set up and you go back to screen one (select Language etc). I can't get past that.
We're talking last year, early quarter perhaps that this was done, so it's just sat and stewed doing nowt since then.
Is there anyway I can "fix" this?
I wanted to reply to myself to say eventually got it sorted. I used something called SP Flash Tool V3 which, following a guide, allowed me to reflash it, unlock it perhaps, not quite sure, but needless to say allowed me to get access to boot loaders(?) and then flash on a new rom. So I have it back working again. Most replying just in case someone else is searching globally and it comes up.
