I work for a cellphone company and we have seen several Samsung A21 phones that are stuck re-looping the system update installation. It gets to 99%, restarts the phone, and the system update starts all over again. We've attempted a hard reset but it doesn't respond to that. We've had a couple customers call into Samsung for help. They're told to plug it into a computer to complete the software update but the phones are not responsive long enough to connect to a computer. I'm just wondering how wide spread this issue is and if anyone has found a fix for it.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I understand how frustrating it is when an update will not complete. If the phone is not responding to a hard reset, it would need to be serviced to have the software reflashed. This can be done at uBreakiFix, https://www.ubreakifix.com/samsung.
