A serious issue has been reported on Twitter (by @tarunvats33) regarding the new One UI 9.0 update.

  • The Problem: After updating, some devices are getting stuck on the welcome screen with an XML "Access Denied" error.
  • Advice: Pause or avoid updating your phone to One UI 9.0 until Samsung releases an official fix.
If you have already updated and are stuck on this screen, do NOT factory reset! Here is the workaround (Credit: Reddit user bhvblick

  1. Force restart: Press and hold Volume Down + Power buttons together.
  2. Boot into Safe Mode: When the Samsung logo shows up, release the Power button and hold Volume Down until the phone boots into Safe Mode.
  3. Go completely offline: Turn on Airplane Mode and ensure Wi-Fi and Mobile Data are fully disabled.
  4. Restart normally: Restart your phone while staying completely offline to bypass the setup screen safely without data loss.
Please hold off on updating and share this to protect others from getting locked out!

I was in the BETA and directly got updated to stable with no issues. So, no issues for me.

It is happening only on non-beta devices and not all users are facing it; perhaps only some unlucky users are encountering this issue.

It is just an alert; if, by bad luck, someone gets stuck with this issue, they can resolve it themselves.
