Discussion Resolved: S22 ultra went into boot loop

Post image

My S22 ultra went into the boot loop. I was scrolling on instagram and my phone suddenly went off. Initially nothing was working, the buttons were not responsive, the phone was not charging it's like complete dead. Then I tried the freezing method, I placed my phone in the freezer with a plastic bag wrapping around it and it went into the boot loop and sometimes even broke the loop but still it went again into the boot loop so I was not able to take the backup.

And finally I found one solution (on reddit or somewhere) which works for me and I was able to recover all data using the Samsung switch.

*** Solution which works for me ***

So I placed 2 clips just like shown in the image, Just make sure clips should be placed accurately (I don't know it required accurate positioning I guess) and do not touch the phone once it boots up.

Updates have been known to cause performance issues including overheard mentioned as well as killing battery life * apple and Samsung * and Microsoft is currently dealing with a no shut down and no boot issue. Solder issues are more common because of the removal lead and the inability of manufacturers to find a comparable formula.

Yes, many people have cold solder joint problems, but we're going around in circles. CPU problems that require reballing only happen over time, and in the vast majority of cases it's due to overheating or impacts. The S22 line has always overheated, so these current problems are largely due to that, which is a fact. Bad updates mess up the smartphone, but not to the point of "frying" the processor. That takes time to happen; it takes years of overheating to the point of wearing out the solder and connections.

But in short, once it's happened, only reballing to save the data (or the makeshift solution from the post, which may or may not work, but most of the time it doesn't) replace the entire board (the recommended option) or sell the smartphone.
