S20 keeps saying "Update Firmware, reporting firmware version to server"

[DapSamsu1]

I just powered on my mother's phone, and two minutes later, I got this message: "Update Firmware, Reporting firmware version to server." Do you guys know what this is? It's been saying that for an hour.

Take it to the store so they can fix it if it doesnt go away.

Hello, thanks for reaching out. This is definitely not normal behavior nor a normal screen from an S20. The best thing to try is a factory reset here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

If the troubleshooting is not helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician.
