Firmware (bot) update on my phone just came and disappeared on its own before even updating it….wtf bro?!?!

TomDuez

AnirbanDeySarkar Same here

RohanJaiswal_LzSnFrCDBk

AnirbanDeySarkar I’m in beta still after update

SoumalyaSamanta

AnirbanDeySarkar same happened to me too, and I had even started the downloading. Somewhere during the optimising your phone portion it might have stopped. And now when I check it’s not available anymore. Scared to even restart the phone now, what if somehow it my phone dies during restart.

rishivishwakarma

AnirbanDeySarkar i think it happened because all users are facing that the update is stable but after the update its sill showing the beta program that’s why nothing team has removed the update and as soon as possible they fix this they rollout the update to all 🥲
