One UI 7: Samsung apparently stops distribution of the update to Android 15

Samsung has apparently stopped the distribution of the update to One UI 7 unexpectedly. The cause was a "serious error" in the firmware.

A week ago, Samsung began distributing the update to One UI 7 for the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6. Now the company has pulled the ripcord, as several sources independently report.

One UI 7: Samsung removes firmware from OTA servers

The leakers Ice Universe and Tarun Vats confirm on X that the manufacturer has halted the distribution of the new system version based on Android 15 in many countries. According to Vats, Samsung has also removed all builds of the firmware from the OTA servers.

If the information from Vats is to be believed, Samsung first stopped the update distribution in Europe and Korea, and then in other countries as well. Discussions about the stopped One UI 7 update also appeared in Samsung's Korean forums over the weekend.

One UI 7 apparently with a "serious error"

According to information from Ice Universe, a "serious error" is said to have forced Samsung to suspend the update. It is said that users of the South Korean Galaxy S24 series were unable to unlock their device normally "in some cases" after installing One UI 7.

There is still no official statement on the update situation. Heise online has asked the manufacturer for a statement.

For users of a Galaxy S24 or Fold 6 and Flip 6 who have not yet received the update, this may mean that they will have to wait a while longer for the new software.
