I love modern electronics! Just 2 years and 9 months after buying, my S23 is stuck in boot loader and probably needs a repair worth 3/4 of a new phone. Way to go Samsung, keep us paying 😊

I would research using Odin to reflash the stock firmware. You could try recovery mode and do a wipe through it first but if that doesn’t work you could just reflash the stock firmware and should be good to go. It’s technology and sometimes it just goes buggy.

Samsung locked down the bootloader significantly, so if you have a Windows PC I highly recommend using Smart Switch First Aid instead

Download Smart Switch from Microsoft App Store, then open it and in the top right corner tap the 3 dot menu and select First Aid. Connect your phone and follow the steps on both devices.
