Hello,
my A70 suddenly stopped working.
I saw some error message shortly before it happened while I was using the camera.
Then the next time I wanted to unlock it, it turned black after using the finger print sensor to unlock.
When I force restart with Volume Down and Power Button, it showed the Samsung A70 logo at the beginning but then nothing.
It did a sound like normal when starting up, but I couldn't see anything further.
Sometimes the screen flashes for a second or less and sometimes I can see the lockscreen again and even enter the PIN to unlock, but then it's just black again.
I can't get into the recovery mode to factory reset the phone and I would also like to get the files that are still on it off of the phone before doing such things.
But I always have to change from just charging to file transfer, which is now not possible.
Does anyone know how I could fix the screen or at least get the data off of it so that I then can try and install now firmwar/OS?

It's possible your info automatically backed upto Samsung Cloud or one of the Google options so hopefully your info wouldn't be lost if you performed a hard reset.
hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a70.
It's a shame you can't get it into Safe Mode !
In order to hook up to most suites via the data card it needs for a pop up on the phone's screen to accept the connection, well the one I use does.
A Samsung Experience Store or Samsung Service Centre can take a look.
I wish you all the best with this @Ikxi

I have never used any samsung apps on my phone and also did not actively back up anything in google.
So probably just some photos are saved.
I don't know if there are Samsung stores where I live, never heard that they even have physical stores.
I contacted their support too, but because it's taking a bit I also asked here, hoping this problem might be known.
Thanks anyways.

You never know Samsung Cloud may have been working quietly in the background.
In the UK we have Samsung Experience Highstreet Stores , but I submit not every country / region has.
However most do have Samsung Service Centres which can be checked via Samsung Service Centre online checker page.

My phone fixed itself.
After 20-30 forced restarts.
Now I backed up all my files and will then reset the phone and if it still persists just probably Samsung has to do something.
