Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 phones are getting stuck in bootloops.
A just-released Samsung SmartThings Framework update may be to blame.
So far, the only relief affected users have found is through a factory reset.
Updates are supposed to make our devices better: give them more features, fix bugs, and address security concerns. But there’s always the risk anytime you’re changing the software that a device relies upon that you’re going to changing something that stops it from working — and nobody wants to have to start fresh with a factory reset. Sadly, it looks like Samsung users are facing a problem just like this, as they discover their phones unusable after installing a recent update.
Over the course of the past day, a growing number of reports about Galaxy phones stuck in bootloops have been surfacing online. Two of the busiest threads we’ve seen are those on Reddit started by users rbthompsonv (https://www.reddit.com/r/samsunggalaxy/comments/1fueq0i/comment/lpz5szj/) and mikethespike056 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1fummcz/multiple_galaxy_s10_and_note10_series_devices/), and based on user complaints that have come in so far, it’s looking like this problem affects basically all Galaxy S10 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-review-968396/) and Galaxy Note 10 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-review-1033493/) series devices. That’s not necessarily an exhaustive list, though, and we also hear about the Galaxy M51 (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-m51-1096879/) being impacted.
