While playing a simple game my phone suddenly restarted, till it reached Samsung logo, and kept restarting over and over.
I tried to shut down the phone by long pressing power button, but it kept restarting.
Finally I figured out to take the SIM card off, and it could load!
After it loads, everytime I insert the SIM againg it suddenly restarts, and repeats the bootloop again.
I tried to insert a friend's SIM card, the phone loads, but once I insert the PIN code, it restarts again, and bootloops again!
I also tried the following with the SIM card removed:
The phone has still 20+ GBs free space of internal memory.
Model: SM-G970F/DS Exynos.
Software: One UI 4.1, Android 12.

I also tried the following with the SIM card removed:
- I scanned the phone for viruses, it was clean;
- Safe Mode: bootloops with SIM card initially inserted, and same issue happens once SIM card inserted after loading Safe Mode;
- Recovery Mode: I did only Wipe Cache, but it did not solve. I am trying to avoid factory reset because I don't think it is going to solve after all that!
