- Reports of bricking have been emerging as users upgrade to the latest firmware.
- The issue seems to be happening after the device turns off.
- Samsung has halted the rollout until it fixes the problem.
If you’re an owner of the Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, beware of the latest firmware update. It appears that the update is causing these devices to brick for some.
Released early last month, firmware version R8xxXXU1GVI3 was meant to bring minor fixes to system stability and reliability for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. It was first rolled out to South Korea and gradually made it to other regions. But it appears as more people began installing the update, issues started popping up.
