Hello everyone,
I recently tried to update my Samsung Galaxy A56 to the latest Android version, but after the update, my phone is stuck on the spinning dots screen and won’t boot properly. I’ve tried restarting multiple times and even wiped the cache partition via recovery mode, but the issue persists.
My phone is basically unresponsive, and I cannot access any settings, including turning off Airplane Mode. I’ve read about Samsung Smart Switch’s Emergency Software Recovery feature, but I’m worried about losing my data because the recovery tool sometimes mentions factory reset.
Has anyone experienced this issue or successfully performed the emergency recovery without data loss? Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can try before resorting to a full factory reset?
I’d appreciate any guidance, tips, or walkthroughs you can provide.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I had the same problem. I have found somewhere information to power off the phone, get out the SIM card and restart without it. It worked for me. After restarting everything worked fine and then I just powered off the phone again and inserted back the SIM card and it worked fine. Hope this helps.
