Did you have encryption enabled? I just upgraded from my s8 3 months ago, if you have the encryption turned on then you need to put in the password after every reboot for it to decrypt the phone. I he that its not 'initializing' and the device encryption is optional and you might not have had it on

    Not the guy you're asking but I don't think it's related to encryption. I've had the same thing happen on my S24 with nothing encrypted

    Edit: I am wrong, see below

    Your phone is encrypted by default, there's practically no way to not let it encrypt without unlocking the bootloader.

    Older phones that came out before the default encryption was standard were the ones that had the option to encrypt the phone or let it remain decrypted.
