The latest software update for the Galaxy A56 has reportedly caused bootloop issues for some users, potentially bricking their devices. While the update, which offers minor enhancements including a long-press feature to launch Gemini, is relatively small, affected users are experiencing significant problems. Currently, Samsung has not acknowledged the issue. However, a simple workaround exists: power off the device, remove the SIM card, restart the phone, and then reinsert the SIM after booting. Interestingly, the update appears to have been successful for the Galaxy A26 and A36 without similar problems.
Some posts in the Samsung Community indicate that the recent software update for the Galaxy A56 is triggering bootloop problems. The update itself is relatively small and introduces a few minor enhancements to the software experience, with the most significant being the ability to open Gemini through a long press of the power button.
Following the update, some users have encountered bootloops, effectively rendering their devices unusable. The unfortunate part is that Samsung hasn’t yet acknowledged the problem, but the silver lining is that there’s a simple workaround. You just need to power off the phone, take out the SIM card, and then restart the phone. Once the operating system has booted up, you can reinsert the SIM card.
Curiously, the update has also been rolled out to the Galaxy A26 and A36, with no reports of similar issues.
