Following some serious problems that impacted multiple Samsung Galaxy models, like the Galaxy S10 and Note10 series, Samsung is now introducing a new update aimed at improving security and stability for their devices. This comes after a SmartThings Framework update caused certain phones to get stuck in a boot loop. The first device to receive this update appears to be the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which is currently priced at $649.99 on Amazon. Many users faced difficulties with their devices, raising concerns about data loss and issues with two-factor authentication access.
Quick Action by Samsung
In response to the situation, Samsung has quickly rolled out the October 2024 security patch, even prior to Google releasing the update for its Pixel devices. The official rollout date is noted as 4th October 2024 on Samsung's website. This update includes the One UI build version S721BXXS2AXI5 and enhances system security, likely targeting vulnerabilities within the operating system.
Details Still Unclear
While the exact details of the problems fixed in this patch remain vague, it's anticipated that Samsung will share more information shortly. As of now, the update is being distributed to Galaxy S24 FE users in regions like Asia and Africa, according to Android Trends, with plans for a wider global rollout in the near future.
How to Install the Update
To manually install the update, users can go to the Settings menu, select Software Update, and then click on 'Download and install'. Keep in mind that it might take some time before the update reaches all areas.
Samsung Mobile has communicated these updates through sources like Sammy Fans and Android Trends.
