• Many Galaxy S22 series users have been facing random bootloops, for which Samsung is swapping out motherboards at a cost since the phone is out of warranty.
• As a stop-gap solution, users have had luck reviving their phones by putting them in the freezer. The phone begins bootlooping again once it returns to ambient temperature.
• We’ve contacted Samsung for comment on the issue and its strange solution.

The Galaxy S22 series was one of the top Android smartphones of its era, and the phones have enough performance headroom to keep them relevant for a while. So, it’s unsurprising to spot people still using these phones. However, as the phone ages, more and more users are running into a peculiar Galaxy S22 problem where the phone enters into a bootloop. Believe it or not, the solution to get out of this bootloop is to put the phone into the freezer (!?!).

Redditor Then_Whole_4146 ran into an issue where their Galaxy S22 randomly started bootlooping. Other users chimed in with their experience, and as it turns out, putting the phone in a freezer helps revive the phone out of the bootloop temporarily. However, as Redditor Pleasant-Apartment84 mentions, their Galaxy S22 went back into a bootloop once it had started heating up again, eventually getting a green line issue as well. However, this period was sufficient for the users to get their important data off the phone.
