Hello, I have a somewhat odd issue, so please bear with me and I apologize in advance for the long post.
I have a Google Pixel 2XL that began flashing at the lock screen. After about 30 flashes it restarts and says it can not load the android system.
Here is a clip of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/R95SnM0
I'm honestly not worried about the phone itself, but am looking for a way to save my photos and other possible data before wiping and/or sending in for replacement. My father recently passed away and my last pictures of us are on there as well as pictures from my engagement overseas etc. Pictures NOT backed up on google photos.
Though I do have USB debugging turned on, the bootloader is locked on this phone, so I can not get into ADB recovery mode to pull my data off the phone. I can only get into ADB sideload and ADB fastboot which of course don't allow me to push/pull. I did sideload the newest version of tainmen to no avail.
My thought was to see if it was possible to remove the 64GB UFS memory chip which is soldered on the logic board and to solder it to an identical logic board I will purchase which already has the bootloader unlocked, then with the phone back together I can use ADB recovery mode to pull my data off the phone.
I have a local mobile repair tech who does micro soldering but I'm not sure this is even feasible, I have 2 major worries: A: The bootloader is stored in the memory chip and not the RAM hence will just transplant my problem from one logic board to another and B: Does the memory chip have anything that ties it specifically to my logic board
I know I'm grasping at straws but I appreciate any info or help that I can get. If someone actually solves this I WILL pay for their help. Thank you if you made it this far reading! Stay safe everyone!
