Fimware 6.1. Then 6.1.1 rolled out back to back for Z fold5.. Im on my 3rd Z fold5. As i turn on replacement it has rebooting issue before i can even transfer anything.. Troubleshooting for a few days and only way to use phone without rebooting n freezing issues is to have 5G turned off.

I've been using a Z Fold5 since release last year. It's fully updated, and everything is working fine. Have you installed any potentially malicious software on your phone?

I am having the same issue as well. After the update to 6.1.1 my phone is hard crashing. I have been messing around with it narrowed it down to android auto or airplane mode on my phone. Phone gets super hot than freeze than reboot right?

 

my post about it earlier
