I just want a couple videos off the device, everything else is either backed up or recoverable. The device currently can:
-
Stay locked after a reboot
-
Unlock for about 30-45 seconds before restarting and displaying the recovery screen I attached.
-
Boot into recovery/rescue mode (kinda, it shows the android mascot with a red warning icon and the text “no command”, but I can’t seem to mount it in windows or Linux
Is there any chance at all that I could get files off the device?
How do you think this happend?
Working with the limited info I have: google photos was reporting the phone was overheating just before it crashed, it was failing to upload some videos I had just recorded. Best guess, it was a perfect storm of failed actions, overheating, and possibly filling up the storage so much that the swap was basically gone, thus loading stuff on reboot after unlocking created a fatal error loop. I have no way of knowing now, but at least the phone works again! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
