Your phone typically gets a firmware update notification when one is available. You can also check if a new update is available through the settings menu. If there is one, you can download it even before the notification has been sent to you. It appears that some users who were manually checking for the September 2025 security patch on their Galaxy devices got hit with an unusual error that restricted them from downloading the update. It's probably a technical glitchSammyGuru spotted the error which was displayed upon searching for the September 2025 security update on a Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the United States. Other Galaxy device users have also said they were hit with a similar error earlier today.The “can't download update” error explained that the “server has reached its daily download limit.” The alternatives suggested were to either wait until tomorrow or update using Samsung's Smart Switch tool on a PC.It's hard to believe that Samsung now has a policy of restricting daily firmware downloads from its servers after a undisclosed limit is reached. You'd expect a company the size of Samsung to have the required infrastructure in place to support unrestricted firmware downloads for hundreds of millions of eligible devices.Indeed it does, as something like this hasn't really been experienced before. It's likely that this is just a temporary hiccup, whether due to IT glitch or something else, but it should be resolved sooner rather than later.The post An unusual error is restricting firmware downloads from Samsung’s servers appeared first on SamMobile.
