How To Update Toshiba TV Firmware
id="mod_17631102">
Introduction
Updating the firmware on your Toshiba TV is an easy way to try resolving software problems with your TV. For example, if the volume isn't working as it should, the Wi-Fi cuts in and out without reason and many other problems. Additionally, Toshiba adds functionality to optimize the TV's performance and occasionally add new functionality. Firmware updates are free, generally take 20 minutes from the time you start downloading the file and only require a USB flash drive.

How to Update Toshiba TV Firmware
Plug a USB flash drive in to an available USB port on your computer and copy any files from the drive that you want to keep into a separate folder on your computer.
Format the drive as a FAT32 file system. This erases all of the files currently on the USB flash drive.
Click here to open the Toshiba Support home page.
Click "Product Support" in the menu along the top of the home page. The Product Support drop-down menu opens.
Select "Televisions" beneath Choose Category.
Select your type of Toshiba TV beneath Choose Family. For example, options include 3D TV, LCD TV and LED TV.
Select your Toshiba TV model beneath Choose Model.
Click the red "Go" button to the right of the Choose Model section after selecting your Toshiba TV model. The product support page for that specific TV model will be displayed.
Select the "Downloads" tab. If there are no downloads available for your TV model, either your won't be able to click the tab or there will be a message within the tab that says there are no downloads at this time. If this is the case, no firmware updates are available for your Toshiba TV. Check back periodically, as firmware updates are released as needed and aren't scheduled.
If there is content in the Downloads section, look in the Category section for an item titled TV Firmware. If this option doesn't appear, no firmware update is available. However, if this option does appear, click the clickable link associated with the firmware. The TV Firmware Update and Release Notes dialog box appears. In this dialog box you can see the size of the firmware update file, when it was released, exactly what it addresses and more.
Click the red "Download Now" button and save the file to your connected USB flash drive.
Extract the contents of the ZIP file on the USB flash drive.
Disconnect the USB flash drive from the computer after the firmware update file saves successfully to the device.
Power on the Toshiba TV and then connect the USB flash drive to the USB port on the Toshiba TV.
Wait a few moments for the "Firmware file is detected in USB" dialog box to appear on the screen. Select "Yes" to update the firmware. A progress bar displays on the screen. Be careful not to turn your TV off while the firmware is updating. The progress bar changes to a "Success!" message after the update successfully installs.
Disconnect the USB flash drive from the TV and then restart the TV. After the TV restarts you can resume using the TV as you normally would.

I have the 39L1350U; I was hoping the firmware update would have my TV playing movies from the USB. Is there any software/firmware that this model will accept to play movies.

Toshiba 'Smart' TV's soon become useless as Toshiba stop supporting them after a couple of years. My 32UL863 first 'lost' YouTube and has now 'lost' BBC iPlayer. No support, no software updates, no refund - nothing from Toshiba. Never buy from this useless company again.

I followed the steps and downloaded the decompressed firmware files to a newly formatted usb drive. When I plug it into my television, the prompt "firmware file is detected in usb" does not appear. Instead, a box comes up that says, "USB device was connected to TV. Do you want to open Media share?" If i click no the box disappears and nothing else happens. If I click yes, the Media Share menu comes up with a box that has the options, "USB autostart YES/NO, Photo, and Music." There is no way for me to open the Firmware file. Can someone please instruct me on what I should do next? Thanks for your help.

Max, My son did this on his Toshiba TV and firmware showed an error.
After turning TV off and then on again the TV now just has black screen. Nothing is working. The only thing it shows is green power button.
Any Thoughts?

Hi Alan,
It's likely there is no firmware update available for this TV at this point. Firmware updates are released as needed by manufacturers, and some devices never require them. If you got in touch with an actual person, Toshiba may be willing to mail you the firmware file on a thumb drive, but I'm certain there would be a cost involved.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Best IPTV Box 2020,
Max.
