Hi,
I've got issue with S9+ that stuck in rebooting loop after regular overnight software update via Google Play. After turning on, it works for like a minute - more or less - and reboot. And again, and again... You've got the idea.
What I've tried already is:
- Phone Health checking
- Soft reset (clear cache partition in recovery mode)
Only turning on in Safe Mode (volume down during booting) has stopped the reboot loop. However, it's hard to use the device in this mode.
Apps that got updated during the night are: Android Auto / Google Drive / X / Signal / Brave / MS One Drive / Google Lens / Canva / Google Tasks / Google Keep / Meta Business Suite / Google / TikTok
Do you have any idea is any of them has any known issue with similar outcome?
About device:
One UI 2.5 / Android 10 - I'm aware it's an old phone but it works perfectly fine for my mom.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok - found temporary solution for a problem.
In Safe Mode I've turned off suspected apps (that were updated) and in normal mode I've rushed to Force Stop the rest of them. Apparently it will do the job for a while.
Also have noticed that phone is immediately going way too hot right after turning on (lol) which doesn't happen in Safe Mode (around 39'C - if the app for sensor reading is accurate - right before the restart)
So definitely some app vendor fkd their update, and it's a matter of time to find out which one. This or they'll update the bug before I discover which one is bad.
So my only hope right now is to wait for proper app update asap.
That said, thank you guys for any help you've tried to provide - especially @arianwen27 .
