My S22 wouldn't boot after a Samsung software update this morning. It looked like it was completing the update where I could see the percentage progress. Then, it turned black and dead.  

I tried forced reboot with Vol Down and Power button seems to run, but after loading the ONE UI page (reaching 100%), it just turned dead. I also tried entering recovery mode but nothing happened when I tried Vol Up and Power button (I kept pressing up to 1 min or so and still dead). Also tried when connected to a laptop, and still nothing.  Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks very much for all the responses. It seems to be a battery issue. I thought it was fully charged when I clicked 'Install now,' but maybe it was close to empty. After plugging in several cables, I was able to turn it on.

Mine is not dead but definitely glitching. It started December 22nd for me. My phone seems to be fine at the moment but still freezes and gets stuck on boot loop sometimes

Mine started that day too. Were you able to get it fixed?

You can try going into Recovery mode and doing a factory reset.

Good point. Sometimes it's the simplest of things on the issues at hand

There are no "Samsung technicians" here. This is a user-to-user help forum.
