Fold 5 stuck in bootloop or freezes after trying to update

[JRansom97]

During the latest software update for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 (unlocked) my phone had an error screen pop during the phone restart and has been stuck in either a boot loop and/or just completely freezes during the bootup on the Samsung Logo. What do I do or what can i do?

I would either bring it to a carrier store or reach out to SamsungCare https://www.samsung.com/us/support/samsung-care-plus/. You might not have the service but give it a try and see what they say. If you have a Samsung store near you, that could be an option too

Hello, Welcome to the Community. We understand how frustrating it is when experiencing issues trying to update the phone. 

For the rebooting of the phone, try the troubleshooting here: https://www.samsung.com/my/support/mobile-devices/what-to-do-when-mobile-device-has-problem-with-cha... 

Once you've completed the troubleshooting and are able to restart the phone, attempt completing the update.

If the phone still will not fully power on, or will still not install the update, then it is recommended to have the phone evaluated by an authorized technician.
