Attempted 3.7.0 update (failed) and now car won't lock or unlock.

I have a 2022 XC40 Recharge. This morning I got a notification from my app that 3.7.0 was available, so I elected to have it update (battery was at 76%). Some time later I got a message on the app indicating the update failed and that I'd need to take it to a dealer to have it updated and OTA updates would not work until then. Not great.

A few hours after I try to enter the car by handle touch. Nothing. This sometimes happens so I use the fob button. Nothing. This also sometimes happens so I attempt the app. App can't unlock the car.

I use the manual key from the fob and get the driver side door open. All of the lock/unlock buttons in the car are unresponsive. The car works, as in the infotainment center comes up, the car can be put into drive and driven, etc. -- the only thing I know that doesn't work is any means to lock or unlock the doors.

Is this a known issue with a known solution? I've tried rebooting the infotainment system. I have not tried a factory reset but will if that's a known way to fix this issue. Last resort is I drive it to the dealer.

Any tips or help very much appreciated, thanks!

Some additional info:

  • The trunk hatch open button works.
  • The trunk hatch close buttons work.
  • The fob open trunk hatch button works.
  • The app properly recognizes the car is either locked or unlocked after I manually use the physical key to lock or unlock the driver door.
  • When I try to unlock the car via the app the error message says the car cannot unlock the car while the car is in use (it of course is not in use, it is in park with all doors locked and no one inside).

Thank you all for the replies. As it turns out just waiting it out, as briantw42 suggested, was enough to get things working again (which is absurd but welcome to 2025 I guess). The fact that the physical buttons didn't respond had me scratching my head the most. Oh well.
