I have updated my Samsung and the update notification won't go away

I have followed the steps on A50 and the notifocation doesn't go away. Could the 2524608000000 date be outdated? Do I first need to uptade to latest version and then repeat the process?

Totally frustated, why samsung is doing it!! Can't i keep my phone, do i really have to buy another one?

Everytime when am updating my Note 20ultra 5g software i get a permanent green or a pink line on my sceen within 1hour of the update.

I'll stop buying samsung phones if they do not allow me to use my existing phone and it's a memory for me and i even don't want to pay for the repair because it's not my fault.

So if its true, samsung wants thier customers to throw their expensive phones such as mine but for sure i won't purchase samsung again.

No solutions received till now, the sam service centre wants me to replace the screen which is INR 30k.

One can buy a good new phone in that cost!!

Hello 👋 @Ronnie88 

Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum Section for UK and Ireland users. 

I totally understand and appreciate the frustration your feeling. 

The green / pink line you are experiencing is a failure of the ribbon connection between the display and motherboard.

I have experienced this once myself to which Samsung replaced the display as the phone was still under the 2 year manufacturer's warranty. 

If a phone is out of the 2 year cover then Samsung will repair for a fee. This is indicative of most manufacturer's. 

One can look at other various insurance options such as Home Contents insurance, and or some Banks provide cover as a perk of the account. 

I see your using the " INR " currency which leads me to you being in India. 

Your consumer laws maybe different to that of mine in the UK ,so it might be beneficial to also post in your own regions part of the forum for appropriate detailed advice. 

I wish you all the best 😎

I found a 100% working solution for removing the software update notifications. Here it is step by step:

HOW TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE “SOFTWARE UPDATE” NOTIFICATIONS ON SAMSUNG SMARTPHONES

1. Enable "Developer options" on the phone. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Build number and tap it until the Developer options are enabled.

2. Go to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging and enable it.

3. On a Windows PC: download SDK Platform Tools from here: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

4. Unzip the file "platform-tools-latest-windows.zip" in a folder

5. Open the folder and press Shift + mouse right click on empty space, then select "Open PowerShell window here"

6. Connect the phone to the PC and establish connection. You should see a request for "Allow USB debugging?" > select the "Always allow from this computer" and click "Allow"

7. Check if the phone is recognized by typing in PowerShell:

./adb devices

The response should be:

"List of devices attached

RFCRC1KHWR      device"

Note: if you see “unauthorized” then you haven’t allowed permissions for USB debugging.

8. Then type and execute each line below:

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.systemupdate

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.sdm

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer

./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.ws.dm

Note: on some commands you will see "Success", on others "Failure [not installed for 0]" - that's OK. Some commands are intended for certain carries.

9. Reboot the phone

-------------------------------------

To revert the changes – execute the following commands:

./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.sec.android.systemupdate
./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.samsung.sdm
./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.samsung.sdm.sdmviewer
./adb shell pm install-existing --user 0 com.ws.dm

Are you suggesting turning off "Auto Update System" ?  

Which would enable user to delay an update, or defer an update for a very old model of phone?

Otherwise, I could not find any ROLL BACK option within Developer Settings !
