When unplugging S24 while tethering, phone becomes unresponsive completely. Unable to see it via bluetooth nor using google locator. Been able to power up the phone and worked completely 1 day after. 

Seems like Android is crashed in some way, and had to wait for the battery to drain completely to be able to restart it. 

Screen is black and unresponsive, and reboot method using Volume - and power buttons won't work. 

Used tethering many times in the past few weeks without issues, but bricked the phone twice in the past 7 days. 

Anyone is experiencing the same issues ? Is samsung aware of this or working on a fix ?

Best thing you can do is restore the software. Download the samsung Odin software,access recovery mode, and restore the software by following the prompts on the Odin software

To access the recovery mode on a Samsung Galaxy S24, you can do the following: 

Press and hold the Volume up and Side buttons at the same time until the device vibrates and the Android Recovery screen appears
