Phone unusable after installing oneui 6.1

[Joseph97]

Hi

After installing oneui 6.1 update my s23+ is stuck in the welcome menu. 

When I press the next button nothing happens. 

I tried wiping my cache, soft restart and safe mode boot but nothing helps. 

I safe mode I can press the next button but coming only black screen. 

If anybody has some advice or tips what to do I would greatly appreciate it.

"Press and hold the volume down button and the side button simultaneously, then try again. That's what I had to do, and the next button should work after a few attempts. Then, press "Done."

Looks like the update has bricked your phone. May need to have it seen to by Samsung if nothing else works

It started working by itself. I went to sleep and after i woke up everything was normal. 🤷

After long touching the power off option on screen (post holding the volume down and side button), i got an option to go into safe mode. When the phone started in safemode, the same welcome to ai page showed up, but when i clicked on explore, next, there was finally a "done" page. And my phone was working in safe mode. I had to restart my phone after that and now it's working

Had big probs after instal of this update, couldn't get Internet. Couldn't make calls and couldn't get into apps. Had to take phone to get sorted. Hate Samsung.

Safe mode option worked, keep the power button on screen pressed, it will give you safe mode option.
