HELP ! Samsung S22 Ultra shows logo then goes black, won't boot ... ='(
Hello!
I could really use your help, guys!
I connected my Samsung S22 Ultra to my PC using a USB cable that wasn't the original Samsung cable to transfer some videos. The transfer completed instantly, but I wasn't paying attention and left the phone plugged into the PC for about an hour while I continued using my computer.
When I finally checked it, I found the phone completely powered off with a black screen, and now it won't boot.
I tried following the instructions in this video:

I left it charging on the original Samsung wall charger for over 45 minutes, but it doesn't show the charging percentage, charging icon, or any sign of life.
When I hold Volume Down + Power for about 15 seconds, the Samsung logo appears for a few seconds, but then the phone returns to a black screen. It never actually boots into Android. I can repeat the process and get the same result every time.
For reference, I had not installed the latest One UI update (I believe it was One UI 6.1). I had postponed it because I had heard reports of some devices being bricked after the update.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can get it to boot again, or at least recover my data?
Thanks!
