Samsung has reportedly stopped rolling out the latest software update release for the Galaxy M31 and Galaxy A70 smartphones. This comes after several Galaxy M31 and Galaxy A70 users complained that the update bricked their phones while installing. The Samsung Galaxy A70 received the OTA update around a week ago, while the Galaxy M31 received the firmware on Friday. According to the SamMobile report, Samsung has pulled both the updates and will look into the issue that was causing these devices to crash. Some Samsung M31 users took to Twitter and the Samsung Members app to companion that the new update version M315FXXU1ATD1 caused their device to be stuck in the downloading screen. However, folks over at SamMobile were able to update their Galaxy M31 unit to the latest version, so it doesn’t seem that the update has been affecting all users.
That being said, the complaints were enough for Samsung to pull the update. Samsung will be looking into the matter and may release a brand new update with the April security patch for the Galaxy M31 in the coming weeks. As for the Samsung Galaxy A70, the report said that the update caused a “hardware mismatch” that led to phones being bricked. It is unclear whether this is the same issue that is being faced on the Galaxy M31 as well. Either way, it hasn’t been a great update release week for Samsung.
