Samsung S22 randomly gets stuck in restart loop

Members_o5zl37o · ‎09-09-2024

Hi,

So I recently updated my phone on 04/09/2024 and it began to enter the restart loop the next day 05/09/2024. It begins by freezing then enters the loop, I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point and pretty much exhausted all my options as far as I'm aware. Unfortunately I am unable to take it to a repair shop as it's not under warranty anymore and too broke at the moment to take it to a 3rd party repair shop. It seems to happen at random and can't seem to pinpoint the issue that's causing this but from what I can tell I think it's a software issue.

I was wondering if anyone has any solutions to this?

I have tried the following methods

-Wiping the cache on the phone (to do this plug into a computer and hold up on the volume up button and the power button while the phone is turned off)

-Removing all third party apps

- Soft resetting

- Having only 1 app open at a time to reduce any type of lag on the phone as it freezes/lags before entering the loop

-Safe mode

- Removed all games

The only method that I'm aware of that I haven't tried is doing a factory reset

If anyone has any suggestions on a fix it would be very much appreciated

Hi sorry to hear, you have done everything aside from a factory reset, one thing before that it to try starting in Safe Mode, failing that maybe it is best to cut your losses and trade in, that's what I did when my ZFOLD3 went pear-shaped.

Thank you for the reply I did forget to mention that in one of the solutions but I have tried safe mode as that's how I removed the 3rd party apps. Unfortunately I'm unable to trade in for an upgrade at the moment as my contract does not expire until January

Turns out it is still under warranty will update here once I've received an update
