Samsung Halts One UI 7 Update Rollout Amid Bug Discovery
Update Rollout Paused Due to Serious Bug
Samsung has, by all accounts, halted the rollout of its long-awaited One UI 7 update following the discovery of a bug that prevented some Galaxy S24 owners from unlocking their phones.
Global Rollout Put on Hold
The pause was first reported by leaker and tipster Ice Universe, who said that a “serious bug” had been found. While the complaints seem to have specifically come from South Korean owners of Galaxy S24 series handsets, Samsung has played it safe and paused the rollout across all models worldwide.
Update No Longer Listed on Samsung’s Servers
While some users will have already downloaded the update to One UI 7, using the app CheckFirm we’ve confirmed that the update is no longer listed on Samsung’s servers as the latest firmware version across several Galaxy devices, with older patches appearing instead. Samsung hasn’t confirmed the pause in the rollout, nor plans to issue a fix for users who have already downloaded the One UI 7 update. We’ve reached out to the company for comment.
Delays and Disruptions
The paused rollout follows a lengthy delay in the update’s release to older phones. It arrived seven months after Android 15 was made available to developers, and two months after the S25 series launched running the software.
Conclusion
Samsung’s decision to halt the rollout of the One UI 7 update is a precautionary measure to ensure that users do not experience any further disruptions. The company will likely continue to work on fixing the bug and resuming the update rollout in the near future.
