One UI 6.1 killed my S22+ (SM-S906N)

After updating to One UI 6.1, my s22+ (SM-S906N) seems like it does not recognize my passcode. After a few passcode entry as I tried to open it, it permanently locked the phone. Now it is in the bootloop state. I wish someone will help me

A post on this forum and quite a few online saying some devices are having 6.1 halted due to boot issues.

Update has now been halted to all s22s...

See if you can plug your phone into a PC/Laptop, and then boot it into recovery mode by holding the power button and volume up buttons while it's plugged in. From there you should be able to do things like wipe cache, and some other things that might work.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to downgrade your phone though the Smart Switch app for PC, but I'm unsure on that.

I already tried to downgrade the firmware and it was flashed successfully. But it gave the same result, bootloop. It stucked in Optimizing the applications, 100%. But after a while, it will reboot and it will show the optimizing the applications again.

That's tough.
I hope samsung addresses this soon and that you can get ur phone fixed.

I've read some of the problem in Korean community that the motherboard of their devicr was affected. Hope my motherboard wasnt affected by the update.

Samsung strikes again, bricking all but the latest lineup of phones with appauling software "updates" that ruin phones and cause constant bootlooping.

Same thing they say about ui6 on the S22, Samsung need to recall all phones at this point or fix their software this should be a class action

How can I know if my motherboard was affected by the update?? Please, need help 😭

I checked the log, i think the lockscreen service is the one preventing my phone to boot.
