The Android OS, thanks to its open-source nature, allows us to carry out a plentitude of customizations. We aren&#8217;t just talking about the sideloading of apps outside of Play Store or trying out icon packs and themes, to be fair those are just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p>To unlock the device&#8217;s full potentiality, you will have to<a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/unlock-bootloader-android-device\/\"> unlock its bootloader<\/a>. Once you do so, you will be in a position to try out custom firmware such as <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/install-lineageos-18-1-android-11\/\">LineageOS<\/a>, install a <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/install-twrp-recovery-android\/\">custom recovery like TWRP<\/a>, or flash tons of mods such as <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/best-magisk-modules-2020-part-1\/\">Magisk Modules<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/install-xposed-framework-android-9-0\/\">Xposed Framework<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/install-substratum-themes-android\/\">Substratum Themes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/fix-viper4android-not-working-with-selinux-enforcing\/\">Viper4Android<\/a>, and the likes. Likewise, you could also gain administrative access by rooting the device via Magisk.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is just one side of the coin. These tweaks do bring in a few risks as well. The good thing is that more often than not you could easily fix all such issues, be it softbrick, bootloop, or even hard-bricked devices (at least in Qualcomm-powered devices via EDL Mode). But bringing the device back to life comes at a cost- more often than not, you would have to bid adieu to your all-important data.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, this is the last thing that any user would want to have. So what else could be done? Well, there does exist a handy workaround through which you could easily take a data backup in a soft-bricked or bootloop device. And this guide shall make you aware of just that. So without further ado, let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p

foremost, there&#8217;s an important prerequisite you need to checkmark- your device&#8217;s bootloader needs to be unlocked. For most of our readers that will already be the case, since a locked device rarely faces brick issues. <em>But what if the bootloader is locked? Can&#8217;t we unlock the bootloader on a bricked or boot looped device? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, truth be told, you could easily unlock the bootloader on any bricked or boot looped device, but doing so wouldn&#8217;t make much sense. This is because as soon as you unlock the bootloader, it will wipe off all the data from your device. The very notion of this guide is to take a data backup, which would hence be destroyed. Therefore, only proceed ahead with the rest of the steps to take a data backup in a soft-bricked or bootloop device if the bootloader has already been unlocked.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 evyocv\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/fix-oneplus-bootloop-issue-locked-bootloader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"A11yNotice-u1v0gg-0 dWDZbM\"><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 evyocv\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/fix-magisk-bootloop-using-twrp-recovery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Fix Magisk Bootloop using TWRP Recovery [2 Methods]<\/a><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 evyocv\" href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/unbrick-samsung-flash-stock-firmware-odin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unbrick Samsung | Flash Stock Firmware via Odin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/fix-mi-account-authorization-unbrick-xiaomi-edl-mode\/\">Fix Mi Account Authorization | Unbrick Xiaomi | EDL Mode<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/fix-sahara-communication-failed-error-msm-download-tool\/\">Fix Sahara communication failed error in MSM Download Tool<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_1_Boot_your_Bricked_Device_to_Fastboot_Mode\"><\/span>STEP 1: Boot your Bricked Device to Fastboot Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To begin with, you will have to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. Since it is in a bootloop or bricked state, you wouldn&#8217;t be able to use the <em>adb reboot bootloader<\/em> command. Rather, you would have to take the help of hardware key combinations:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8606\" src=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/boot-bricked-device-to-fastboot-mode.jpeg\" alt=\"take a data backup in a bricked or bootloop device\" width=\"700\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/boot-bricked-device-to-fastboot-mode.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/boot-bricked-device-to-fastboot-mode-300x197.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>So start by powering off your device. If you can&#8217;t power off the normal way, then let the battery &#8216;near about&#8217; drain out.<\/li>\n<li>Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys for a few seconds. Your device shall now boot to the Fastboot Mode.<\/li>\n<li>If that doesn&#8217;t happen, then use the Power and Volume Up key combinations and it should now boot to Fastboot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_2_Install_Android_SDK_Platform_Tool\"><\/span>STEP 2: Install Android SDK Platform Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5796\" src=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/install-adb-platform-tools-windows.jpg\" alt=\"install adb platform tools windows\" width=\"1200\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/install-adb-platform-tools-windows.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/install-adb-platform-tools-windows-300x68.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/install-adb-platform-tools-windows-1024x232.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droidwin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/install-adb-platform-tools-windows-768x174.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next up, install the <a href=\"https:\/\/droidwin.com\/platform-tools-adb-fastboot-commands\/\">Android SDK Platform Tools<\/a> on your PC.

For that, you should first visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/twrp.me\/Devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TWRP official device catalog<\/a>. If it is present for your device, then download it right away.<\/p>\n<p>However, if an official TWRP Recovery is not yet available for your device, then head over to the XDA Developers website and grab hold of the unofficial recovery.
