Hello all, My Smartphone (Huawei P20 lite) updatet over night and got stuck in a bootloop. The only Menu i can enter is the Fastboot&Rescue Mode. In Fastboot&Rescue Mode The Android reboot reason: AP_S_ABNORMAL 64 is shown. Phone Locked, FRP Lock. Does Anyone know a way to save data like pictures from this phone in this state? My cat died last month and i would loose all my pictures with her. I would really appreciate every help to save those pictures.

I would do the following: first try to force stop the phone by pressing and holding the Power button for more than 15 seconds If this doesn’t work you can try ‘wipe cache’ and ‘safe mode’ methods (see here) Finally, to make the phone work again you still have erecovery(check answer to post #3 in Huawei Community thread)/ReiBoot option but supposedly this will destroy your data, as it will doing a factory reset Good luck, let us know if you were able to fix this Update (10.10.22) Idk if you already tried this or if it’s possible at all in the current state ur phone is in, however you could boot into a custom recovery like TWRP (won’t overwrite/install anything on the device, sort of like a live distro) after patching it to include /data/media (the internal storage accessible from your phone, including DCIM folder) in the backup (or use this method) and simply make a NANDroid bkp by following this guide until the “fastboot boot twrp.img” command. The recovery file specific for your device is downloadable at this link (Huawei P20 Lite codename “anne”). I don’t think you’ll need an unlocked bootloader for this, as you’re not flashing the image but just booting it for recovery. Of course if the device is out of space you will have to plug an OTG cable+flash drive or insert a micro-SD card with enough free space to save your data (should also be possible to save it directly on your PC, video is in French). Being able to boot TWRP successfully, after backing up you could: load the image on MultiRom (can restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM or boot from USB drive connected via OTG cable) on another Android devicevirtualize the image on a PC as showed here, recover your data and hopefully restore it if you manage to unbrick the phone Just speculating, you probably thought about this too, still I really hope it’s feasible and you manage to access your data again
