TL;DR

  • Samsung has acknowledged the recent bootloop issue faced by users of older Galaxy devices.

  • The cause of the bootloop is an update to the Samsung SmartThings app.

  • Affected customers should contact Samsung Support to help fix the issue. Alternatively, experienced users can try a data wipe.

    Oh no…I’m in danger! lol

    /Cries on my S10

    The statement confirms that the latest version of the SmartThings app is the root cause of these bootloops. It further confirms that the update is no longer rolling out to devices, so you need not worry about accepting an update on your device.

    Right… I’ma just go ahead and disable auto-updating, thanks

    Haha, once again proving that the safest option is to never update anything
