As Samsung announced yesterday, the update to the latest version of Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S8 (Plus) has been withdrawn. Accordingly, it should be due to an annoying software bug.
There was a lot of excitement: Samsung had been distributing the latest version update for the S8 and S8 Plus since last week. But now they are backtracking. The reason for this is said to be multiple restarts and endless loops after the Oreo update. Since this problem seems to affect a large number of users, the delivery has been temporarily halted.
Fix for the bug in the Android 8 update in progress
Samsung is currently working on the problem and will continue the rollout as soon as possible, the company said Via SammobileOwners of a Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus with the Android Oreo update should not experience any further problems, except for shortly after installation. However, these users will receive another patch in the coming days.
This should help with an infinite loop when starting
If you are currently in a boot loop, you should press all four buttons at the same time with the charger plugged in. With a user in the Samsung forum this should have worked. If you have the update available for installation, you should never install it again. There should also have been data losses with the update. In general, you should always make a current backup before a software update.
But for Samsung this is no cause for shame. Manufacturers such as OnePlus have also encountered such software errors when upgrading to Android 8.0 Oreo. It is for this very reason that you should wait a few days before installing such large updates. Then usually the biggest errors have already been fixed.
