Unexpected Reboots Forced Samsung to Halt Galaxy S8 Android Oreo Update
Feb. 15, 2018While Samsung had recently started theglobal rollout of the Android Oreo update for the Galaxy S8/S8+ devices, it decided to pull the plug on the OTA shortly after, and hadhalted the updatewithout any information. Thankfully, Samsung has responded now regarding the reason for stopping the update.
As reported bySammobile, Samsung claims to have stopped the Android Oreo update and remove the firmware files from the server due to many users reporting unexpected reboots after updating their handsets to Oreo. Samsung is now working on a new version of the update which should be out soon.
Following a limited number of cases where Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices have rebooted unexpectedly with the Android 8.0 Oreo, we have temporarily stopped the rollout of the update. We are investigating the issue internally to ensure that the impact to the affected devices is minimized and the rollout of the update can resume as quickly as possible.
For users who have already update to the latest version and are affected by this botched update from Samsung, little can be done. As of now, one can only wait till Samsung rolls out a stable build of the Android Oreo for the S8/S8+ devices.
This isn’t an interview! Why am I being asked to tell you about myself? :P Well, if you really wanna know, I’m currently trending worldwide on #BeingMirchi. Buy me a beer if you like my work. Cheers!
