Samsung Galaxy A57 software update causes boot errors

Samsung has begun distributing the One UI 9.0 software update for the Galaxy A57 smartphone, but some users are reporting significant technical issues. Following the installation, some devices fail to boot normally, displaying error messages that block system access.

The problem appears to be caused by a software error related to an XML file that prevents the operating system from starting correctly. While not all users are affected, reports of the issue have increased on platforms such as Reddit.

As a temporary workaround, affected users can attempt to fix the device by booting into ‘Safe Mode’. This can be achieved by holding the power and volume down buttons until the power options appear, then long-pressing the ‘Power off’ icon until the ‘Safe Mode’ option is displayed. Once the device boots in Safe Mode, a standard restart may resolve the issue. Users are advised to wait for an official patch from Samsung before proceeding with the update.
