I have dumped many logs after crashes and it boils down to the following:

1. Missing Base APKs:
Repeated errors like:Failed to parse /system/framework/arm: Missing base APK in /system/framework/arm Failed to parse /system/priv-app/SamsungCoreServices: Missing base APK in /system/priv-app/SamsungCoreServices
These indicate that critical system files required for Android's functionality are either missing or corrupted. This is a major issue that can cause crashes, instability, and boot failures.

2. SELinux Denials:
Multiple avc: denied errors show that SELinux is blocking access to certain resources, such as: path="/data/data/com.samsung.android.fast/databases/google_app_measurement_local.db"
This suggests that apps like com.samsung.android.fast (related to charging and performance management) are being restricted by SELinux policies, potentially causing app malfunctions.

 

Root Cause

The crash appears to be caused by a combination of:

  • Corrupted or missing system files, particularly in /system/framework and /system/priv-app.
  • SELinux policy misconfigurations, leading to blocked access for critical apps.
  • File system corruption, which may prevent proper installation or operation of system components.

These issues likely stem from an incomplete or problematic firmware installation, or software bugs specific to this device model (Exynos-based Galaxy S22).


I have freshly flashed with the latest firmwire:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s22/firmware/SM-S901B/EUX/download/S901BXXSDEXKA/1895092/

multiple times, so there is no questions left. We can try to turn off this and that and get the illusion that the phone works for a couple of hours or even days but it will crash eventually, it will all depend on the internal working of the system we have zero control over it as it is so close to the core workings of the operating system.

phone is still not reliable, we have to wait for 7.0 I guess

That's understandable. but he messed up my current order of business. This solution does not suit me. It's taking too long and there's no certainty that it will be fixed.

Mate stop being a Samsung sucker everyone knows it's a software update that caused this issue and people like you still somehow find a way to defend Samsung

nobody can tell, but might it is worth to wait till the one ui 7.0 or even before that we might get some sw update.
Some say that hardware got an irreversable damage due to the update, but nobody can be sure and all the hardwares are equiped with sensors to shut down itself before such a damage especially heat damage, so probably not, but nobody knows for sure.

Finally i find someone who think like me, for me the reboot started one week after the update, when i went theough logs i find that the crash is caused by a third app that i installed when i deleted it the behavior of the phone changed, i did a factory reset the reboot worsen but i didnt do any update of samsung apps or google play after the reset. 

i have a suggesting if the cause is hardward and the phone operate normaly when we try to run 3Dmark app which pushes the limitation of cpu ram gpu of the phone if it crashes directly it means a hardware issue if not we confirme it a software issue

Yep I've been playing lots of PS2 games pushing the phone and never goes into boot loop until I turn on WiFi, WiFi only works for a 10-30 minutes when you're in battery saving mode luckily to get your important stuff our best hope is for a new update that may solve this if this is some kind of kernel error other than that we need to find someone who knows what thier doing I've heard some people were able to fix thier phone bu bringing to to repair shops but it is very rare some local repair shops got the skills to solve this issue they're even 10 times better than Samsung itself which is sad and crazy Samsung is saying we have to replace the whole motherboard and charge you like 400 bucks ***** that

My phone was also overloading after updates. When I stopped using it, I started experimenting. First, I deleted all the apps. Absolutely everything. And even updates for standard applications. It didn't help. Next, I reset the phone to factory settings via the Android menu. The phone booted up fine, and I set it up without copying the previous settings. The only thing I had to do was log into my Google account due to an unauthorized reset I made. The phone started working stably. I turned it on and off. I haven't installed or updated anything. He worked like this for a couple of days. Then it froze. I started overloading at first once a day. Then it gets worse. I reset it again. And it's working again. And it will happen again. It looks like it's the software after all. Otherwise, how to explain its stability after reset

Yes, it's almost 100% software for me i think. I ran 3DMark Wild Life and Wild Life Extreme Stress Test yesterday for more than half an hour. The scores were good—I got 7,400 points in Wild Life and 1,914 points in Wild Life Extreme.

The average scores for the S22 Ultra are 8,060 for Wild Life and 2,020 for Wild Life Extreme. mine got backgraound apps.

The stability over 20 loops was 80%, and the temperature ranged between 39°C and 41°C. I checked these results online and found that they are good. If there were any problems with the CPU, GPU, RAM, or even the motherboard, the phone would shut down, freeze, drop quality, or overheat, but nothing happened.

So, if anyone can try this test and see if their phone fails, there’s a high chance that the issue is hardware-related.
