I have Galaxy s8 on Verizon SM-G950U, a standard update notice kept appearing past few days, finally installed it. The minute it finished, it is now in an endless restarting loop. Does not stay on. Tried cache wipe and safe mode, no luck. I am trying to salvage some picture and files in it. I'm 3 days into researching this stuff and watching endless videos, I still dont know what or how to do this.
1) Would ADB allow backup of files if the phone wont stay on? It does stay on when in Android Recovery mode (Volume down and Power button press), but would recovery mode allow access to internal files such as backing up pictures?
2) I was considering trying to flash my phone. But would that even work without it being on the normal homescreen? If so, would I just download whatever the latest ODIN is, 3.13.1? And then whatever the latest Firmware software is for my phone (see below)?
