I only had this problem recently.
When I start "Samsung Apps" it tells me there's an update. If I select update, it will download for less than 1 second before showing a message, something "parse error".
If I don't update, it will just close.
Any solutions?

I got my Prime 2 days ago and after charging and powering it up for the first time, it began downloading a firmware update. I chose to install it, the Prime rebooted, and after the android logo with moving gears, it showed an android logo with an exclamation sign.
I rebooted it and then I got a notification that said "system update failed(2): unknown error". I then attempted to manually check for a firmware update, but I got "There is no update available for your device currently".
I tried copying the ASUS update zip to a microsd, I tried draining the battery, I did multiple factory resets, and it still won't update or even find OTAs.
I also tried with the installed version again (8.8.3.33) and even that resulted in the android + exclamation symbol.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? Or at least what could be causing it?
I have an AT&T samsung galaxy note, but now I am with H2O Wireless.
Recently, it keeps popping up error message like "Communication Failed. You have a software update available. However, the download servers are currently busy ..."
It is very annoying. WHen I try to manually check software update under WiFI, it tells me that my phone is up to date.
ANyone has a clue on how to solve this?
Thanks!
Freeze the at&t update apk with TiBU.
So, i am using CM 10.2 since july, and I wasn't facing any problem. The last 2 months, my phone is very slow, many apps stop working etc. Today, an error pop-up. "com.android.phone has stopped working". But when i press OK, the message pops-up constantly. I can't do anything. Only, reset my phone and when im doing this, it says "Android is getting updated" and when it is activate again the same error pops-up. Anything i can do?
Sorry for my english!

I entered Recovery mode and I did factory reset and it fixed.

Samsung A8 (2018), (SM-A530F/DS) homescreen stuck in "phone is starting" after update
Hi guys, yesterday i did a software update for my samsung A8 (2018) phone and it was going normal until i received an error message at the end of the update. My phone continued to boot successfully but now the homescreen is always stuck in "phone is starting" message.
The phone itself works and i am able to open other apps via google playstore but the homescreen is unusable. I have tried doing cache partition wipes and factory resets, i also thought it was a soft-brick so i tried FRP hijacker with the soft-brick fixer but it just says "check connection" even though my PC successfully scanned the port of my phone. When i open my phone in recovery mode it says "firmware is not valid" at the end of the command line.
I have tried searching online for similar issues but most users have experienced bootloops which is not exactly the problem i have right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Taken from Samsung:
Devices with Android 9 or higher will automatically enable file-based encryption if it has a PIN, pattern, or password set up. During the boot process, the phone will display "Phone is starting..." and the screen may be blank for a few seconds while encryption is taking place. However, if you feel it takes too long for your phone to start, you can disable the encryption to cut a few seconds off of the boot time.

Hi jwoegerbauer, thank you for the reply however unfortunately i don't think the "phone is starting" protocol is actually working. I only experienced this problem right after the latest software update and that was about last night, I have actually tried waiting for the phone to load up but it actually never does (even though i left my phone idle and waited for hours). I am fairly certain that it is a glitch/bug caused by the error at the end of the software update however i am not sure on what to do in such an occasion.
So as to clarify, the software update DID NOT complete as there was an error/failed message right at the end of it but while looking up in the internet i found out that apparently software updates are permanent and cannot be reverted back?
If that is the case then i am really in a pinch right now as i cannot go back to my old software version and yet the new one also does not work.
