Samsung One UI 7 Rollout Resumes: India & Korea Timeline
Samsung has resumed its One UI 7 update rollout in South Korea after addressing a critical lockscreen bug, while Indian users finally get clarity on when their Galaxy devices will receive the Android 15-based upgrade. Here’s everything you need to know about the One UI 7 update timeline, eligible devices, and how to prepare for a seamless installation.
One UI 7 Rollout Resumes in South Korea
The One UI 7 update (build version …BYD9) is now available for Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold6, Z Fold6 SE, and Flip6 users in Samsung’s home market. Earlier, the rollout was paused due to a lock screen bug that prevented some users from unlocking their devices after the update.
Pro Tip: To avoid issues, disable your lockscreen security before updating:
- Go to Settings > Lock Screen and AOD > Screen lock type.
- Enter your current PIN, password, or pattern.
- Select None and confirm. Re-enable security after the update.
Note: It’s unclear if this fix applies to users who already installed the bugged build.
