In rare cases, any hardware issue may be the root cause of the rebooting. In such a situation, visiting your nearest Samsung Service center is advisable. To confirm any hardware issue, put your phone on charge and observe. If the problem doesn’t occur, then your battery may get damaged. If the issue remains, then do check your back cover.

Fix 1: Check your Autostart option
After a new update, if your Galaxy S21 keeps rebooting after a specific interval, then it might be that your auto-restart setting is enabled. Follow the step below to check the settings-
- Go to settings
- Now Go to the battery & device care / Device maintenance option

If the Auto-Restart option is already disabled, then try the fix below.

Fix3: Enable Safe Mode and Delete Errant Apps
It is worth giving a shot and trying the SAFE Mode. In most guide posts, we advise viewers to try this method. Most of the time, any buggy application can be the root cause of the problem. By enabling Safe Mode on your phone, you can determine if any faulty application is behind the unexpected reboot. If you are familiar with these steps, then skip this method. For those who want to know how to enter the Safe mode, here are the steps-
- Press & Hold the Power Key buttons ( You can Pull the Notification Bar (twice)Â and find the power key icon)
- Keep holding until you see the “Power off” icon,
- Now tap and Hold the Power off icon on the screen until the “Safe Mode” icon appears.
- Tap on the “Safe Mode” icon.
The Safe Mode label will be on your home screen, indicating your phone is in safe mode now. Enabling the safe mode, all third-party apps will be disabled. Now observe if the issue remains; if not, that is it. There is a faulty or buggy app that is causing you the problem. Please find it and uninstall the application. If you cannot escape the safe mode, follow the steps here.
Fix 4: Factory Reset
Although it can be called a fix, it is the best to resolve the problem. But before using this option, you can try the Android recovery option and clean or wipe the cache partition. Finally, you can try the Factory Reset option as a last resort. Follow the steps below to try the options in the Android recovery boot menu-
- Switch off your Galaxy S21 phone.
- Press and hold the Volume Up and Power Key buttons together,
- Release the buttons when you feel a vibration
- You will find the options Wipe cache Partition ( Use the Volume up-down button to navigate the options)
- Press the power button to confirm the Wipe cache partition
- Once it is done, reboot the system again
If it does not work, then go for the factory reset option. Even after all these steps, if the issue remains unresolved, you must take the help of Samsung Care Support. And hope the next security update resolves the problem.
Meanwhile, you can degrade the Android version as your phone was working correctly in the previous Android Version. Even though you could not resolve the issue, you can run your phone on the last working Android version. To do so, you can download the correct Android version. Note that your Samsung Binary version should be the same as your build number. One such reliable website where you can easily download Android files is SamFw.
