How can I make it stop Checking for updates?

[Android Central Question]

I just got my Samsung a40 and while setting it up, it went well until I accidentally used the wrong email, I went back and now during the setup, it won't stop checking for updates. This has been going on for 4+ hours

Thanks for responding, yes I am definitely connected to good wifi because the setup had worked earlier, it's only after that I went back to start again that it had gone on loop checking for updates.

Hi Welcome!
Have you tried to reboot and start over again?

Yeah, multiple times

Welcome to Android Central! Try a hardware key factory reset instead: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a40/

I did as the video said, and the setup works fine without looping at the updates section. Thank you guys loads, you saved Christmas.

Anytime it gives you a problem like that , and rebooting don't fix it and wifi good , factory reset in recovery.
