Samsung Fold/Flip 6 & S24 series One UI 7.0 rollout halted by Samsung

[ironass]

"Samsung seems to have pulled the firmware update from its OTA servers without explaining why. According to leakster Ice Universe, Samsung discovered several bugs on devices that got the One UI 7 update, including instances where updated phones could “not be unlocked normally”. SamMobile also reported a critical bug with Samsung's Secure Folder, which exposes users’ Gallery contents."

I understand the problem to be that the phone can be unlocked normally, even with an unlock pattern/PIN selected. Either way is a bad deal... I don't know what the difference is between the 6th beta (which didn't do this) and the final release.

I stand corrected. Yep, that's a BAD flaw: fortunately for the Darling Bride and me, neither of our S24 Ultras exhibit this problem. One would think, however, that with more than 16 weeks of beta testing, such a critical bug would have been identified and fixed quickly. That leads me to believe that the final firmware is something other than the beta 6 we tested.
