Trying to recover data after XT1096 5.1 black screen bug
So I encountered this bug about 2 days ago. It's basically a bug that results in an un-responsive black screen for no apparent reason. I tried all the standard support protocols to save my data (i.e. copy files to pc via USB, and using Cellebrite to pull them off) but without MTP or USB Debugging enabled none of these options worked. Both Verizon and Motorolla tech support advised me to factory reset my phone. However being that a reset will wipe all my data, I've refused to go down that path (yet). So after doing some of my own research I came up with the following ideas, which so far have not been successful.
Idea 1 - use adb to sideload an OTA update with a fresh image that will hopefully resolve the black screen bug but not wipe my data. I followed this thread with partial luck. I got about 47% through the sideload process before it crashed complaining about an invalid full image check
Idea 2 - use fastboot to flash all the images except user data (again with the hopes of resolving the black screen bug without losing data) - But I can't seem to find a compatible set of stock images that will play nicely with my unrooted and locked bootloader phone.
Idea 3 - root my phone, load a custom rom (with no black screen bug) and preserve my user data - unfortunately mofo doesn't support an XT1096 root since I've already accepted the 5.1 OTA.
So my question are:
1 - Are there a set of verizon stock digitally signed images anywhere out there that will work with my XT1096 with 5.1 already installed?
if not
2 - Is there any way to root my phone or unlock the bootloader so that I can accept non-factory images without the use of Mofo?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

1) Yes there are stock signed images for the xt1096. They won't fix your problem. The problem is the data partition is corrupt. Flashing a stock image does not change nor fix the data partition, so it won't help.
2) No, there is no other way.
I am sorry to say, but there is only one solution, which is factory reset. The reason factory reset works is because it will erase the corrupted data partition. Sorry, but you will lose your data, there is no way to recover now. Since you have 5.1 installed, it is also impossible to use mofo and sunshine, so no root and no bootloader unlock neither.
I'm in the same boat except I'm on vacation with out my computer. Can I factory reset from fastboot?
Yes you can. Once you are in fastboot select recovery. Once you are in recovery and see the dead android press power and volume down to open the menu, then select factory reset.

Thanks Chris,
I appreciate the response. Do you know where I might find the stock signed images for xt1096? I've somehow hosed my system img so now I can't even get into recovery to do a factory reset (keeps complaining 'failed to validate system image'). I'm hoping to re-flash the stock system.img to fix this problem. Let me know.
Thanks!
Sure here it is:

That got me back to where I started. System is no longer 'invalid' and my phone boots up to a black screen. The notifications still work and I can boot into fastboot or recovery modes. I guess my only option now is to bite the bullet and factory reset now (and loose my data). :crying:
Thanks again for all your help!

weird. I go into fastboot and got the options: normal boot, recovery, factory and some others and i can cycle through with vol down. vol up is select but no matter what i select it just boots normally (still have black screen)
do i need to unlock something?
I need some more info. Are you on stock rom? What version(4.4.4, 5.0, or 5.1)? Have you unlocked your bootloader with sunshine? Have you rooted woth mofo or kingroot?

Hi,
My P4XL is/was rooted with Magisk. Then today i tried to install the december update exactly like written here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation
After clicking on reboot in magisk, booting up took ages. After 20min. i forced another reboot and waited another 20min. At this point i quit waiting and decided something went wrong.
I tried to go back to the november update by flashing the full factory image 10.0.0 (QD1A.190821.014, Nov 2019) from the google download page.
Now when i try to boot or go to recovery or rescue mode i alwas get to the fastboot screen with the following information:
Code:
Bootloader version: c2f2-0.2-5799621
Baseband version: g8150-00014-190826-B-5830341
Device state: Unlocked
Boot slot: a
Enter reason: error booting boot.img
Is it, cause i already made the update and cant go back to november?
Any ideas how i get my device fixed?
How about your slot-b system ?
Try to switch into slot-b and boot it !

That seems like a good idea. Thanks. I will try that later when i get home from work. Will report back.
Update: Switching slots did nothing, sadly.
I tried to flash the November Factory Image and December Factory Image. I always end up stuck in bootloader mode: "Waiting for device".
So, for everyone with the same issues finding this thread, here is the solution:
Now (not with a lot of confidence) i sideloaded the full ota image for december (bootloader mode, select corresponding option), that is thankfully now available from the google page, aaaaaaaaaaaand its booting again. Yay.
Just to be sure that everything is alright, i flashed the whole factory image again, this time it was working fine.
Now all is ok again and im on the december update. Thank god. That was a stressful day haha.
Still weird that i couldnt flash the factory image, but the ota was fine... Any idea why?

Just a couple of ideas as to why the factory image failed. Were platform-tools up to date? How long did you wait when the output screen said "waiting for device"? I had to wait a couple of minutes for mine to kick in. Could've been a cable issue as well

Platform tools is always up to date. First thing i check before i use adb/fastboot.
Ok well, i didnt give it much time. Maybe i was to impatient.
Cable is original google. Everything worked fine so far with it.
At least, sideload saves your phone. But I cannot understand why factory full image cannot be flashed? I never have this problem.
Try to get into recovery mode and wipe every thing and try it may have help.( Ofc, you will lose every thing after doing that. Be carefully.

Did you boot after flash magisked boot.img of december?
I got december update by fastboot & flash.bat file, and flash magisked boot.img,
but my Pixel4 gets bootloop. (after boot, it goes to the 'Google' boot screen, and repeat on and on.)

I tried to. But didn't work. I was stuck at the G-Logo. No bootloops though.
Maybe try to flash and boot with original boot.img? Can flash magisk still after that.

Don't bother trying to preserve root -- I often find it causes more problems then anything. This may take a little longer, but it has always worked for me:
- download and extract the factory stock image from Google and place into your adb folder
- extract the boot.img file and copy it to your phone (I place mine into the download folder)
- edit the flash-all.bat file and remove the "-w" from the script. '-w' is the command that wipes your phone's personal data
- reboot phone into bootloader
- run the flash-all.bat and let it do it's thing. When it gets to <waiting for device>, don't touch the phone and be patient. After 2-3 mins, it will run through the update gauntlet
- let the phone reboot and wait for the updates to finish
Proceed with re-rooting using the Magisk Manager method, but a quick summary:
- Open Magisk Manager and patch the boot file
- copy magisk_patched file to your adb folder
- boot into bootloader and flash the patched image
A little slower than the OTA, but definitely will be rooted without any issues. I just updated to Dec and re-rooted without any issues.

An FYI, yeah, you can flash almost anything with the cable in the box, what you'll have problems flashing is the full factory image. You need a USB A to C to reliably flash the full image. Yeah, I know it's crazy that the cable in the box doesn't work and it sounds stupid and I must be wrong. I'm not asking for trust, just have an A to C on hand and try it after you fail with the C to C from the box. Don't get all jiggy, do nothing else other than try flashing again but with the A to C. You should be ok and just need to flash the boot afterwards.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Pixel Craziness... Been this way since the 2XL. Lol Just keep preaching the word whenever you can. Folks are hard to convince until they experience it themselves. ?
Yeah, I've had most of the Nexus and following them Pixel devices among many others, there has been some real headscratchers along the way. I've read the conspiracy theory that they do it on purpose to deter flashing. I've no idea on that but it is a reported bug so they know.
So I've had this issue on three separate Pixel 4 XL phones now and I'm pretty sure this is due to my error somehow.
My issue is after the phone passes the Google logo, a black screen pops up with the status bar flashing on and off, and occasionally the back button like this: https://imgur.com/iRzD1Jk
I've installed Magisk and EdXposed to use GravityBox and FingerFace, however I haven't done much more than that.
Flashing the factory image over while retaining data does not fix it, although I'm not sure why.
Factory resetting seems to fix it for a short time, but it seems to always come back, even if I don't install EdXposed.
Safe mode does not help.
I had also recently tried updating by flashing the February image over the January (without wiping data), and that seemed to let it boot. But unfortunately I decided to continue with the exchange as I had requested one before the update was released.
Does anyone have any similar experiences or any ideas for me to try?
Finally I found someone with the same bug that happened to me 2 times. I can't understand why this happens.
The first time happened when I rebooted my phone when dark mode was active, but looks like it happens randomly. I got that in november and then 2 days ago, without an apparent reason.
Looks like some UI related crash/bug, but I really can't undestrand what's causing that. Removing root/mods with a dirty flash of the rom doesn't fix it, only wiping.
Hope someone can point out a way to fix this really annoying bug, or a way to prevent it. It's really frustrating.
Have you tried uninstalling magisk then, if necessary, flashing system images? Fastboot boot the modified boot.img from my boot recovery thread that removes magisk. I believe it is due to a bad or incompatible flash as I've gotten this same thing before.

This happened to me too, I originally thought if was the Rom however dirty flashing the Rom again didn't fix it nor did dirty flashing stock image
What I do know is, this happened to me as soon as forced stopped gms services and removed GMS dose from magisk. As soon as I rebooted, this happened

It's kinda strange because I didn't touch anything for some days, and after a normal reboot this happened.
I tried restoring the stock boot.img from fastboot -> same issue
Reflash entire factory image without the "-w" so without wiping -> same issue
Even reboot in safe mode -> same issue
I don't think it's magisk fault because happened randomly the last 2 times, but I'll give your method a try if this happens again
It sure is giving off system UI crashing vibes. I definitely agree that this is an issue caused by something you did, not something inherent to the Pixel 4. Like suggested already, I would uninstall magisk as a next logical step since you've tried many of the other things I would have suggested. I wholeheartedly agree with Tulsa that this is a bad flash. Since you didn't wipe userdata when you flashed the factory image, the bad flash is still present so it's pretty safe to assume that you have a bad module installed or a bad combo of modules that don't like working together.

Yes. What is the flashing UI? I just ran it on my Pixel 2. It ran just fine. Yes it reboots during flashing as the script reads "rm-rf /data/adb/* && reboot" After it reboots, click on magisk manager. It should say you need to install additional files. It will then your phone will reboot again. Modules should be gone.

Is your phone rooted still? You must have root. Flash the magisk_patched.img again to make sure and try again.
You could also try the other boot image that installs a .disable-cache file.

I flashed both of your images as well as my original generated magisk_patched, and the original boot.img from the factory image. They all lead to the same booting issue.
I can tell when the Magisk modules are disabled because the modules that affect the clock position in the header returns it to its original position from center to left. But that's the only thing that changes. I can reflash the whole factory image and the issue still persists.

What order did you flash them in?
1. Flash magisk_patched.img then reboot.
2. Boot back to fastboot and boot one of my boot images.
If you have done this and still have a problem you will probably have to do a factory reset.

I appreciate you trying to help me.
I did this with the same results.
I am totally fine with doing another factory reset. My issue is that I've been having this issue across three different phones, and I believe the issue has happened a total of about 10 times, the longest time I've gone without anything happening appears to have been almost two months. I'm trying to understand what I'm doing that is leading to this problem more than anything.
When I install Magisk, I believe everything installs to partition B.
The issue is not caused by EdXposed because it has happened some times without it being installed.
I believe the modules I've used each time are:
-IOS 12 Emojis
-Systemless Hosts
-Call Recorder - SKVALEX
I believe I was also using FDE.AI, but I don't think that would cause this until after I pass the unlock screen, which I can't.
I've been using ElementalX as the kernel.
The issue comes up randomly, and sometimes I can reboot several days without anything happening. I can't see anything I'm doing between the final successful reboot and the issue coming up where this starts to happen that could be causing this.
The ONLY time this seemed to have been fixed was when I updated to the February factory image. However I already had a replacement phone coming, so I decided to still send the old one in.

That is a weird issue, for sure. I know of people that recommend flashing factory images and magisk to both slots but I've never have and have not had these issues on any of my Pixels (except on a bad flash).

Question that may be related. Is it normal that I can never boot from when it's set to slot A? Even manually flashing boot.img and magisk_patched to that slot doesn't work. The factory image seems to install everything to slot B and only seems to reference A a few times.

I don't know how old your phone is but the slots are used for when you receive firmware updates and don't change unless you receive one over the air. You can change it manually in fastboot
fastboot --set-active=a
Try that then install your firmware again. It should now just reference B a few times.

Yes, I had FDE installed for 2 or 3 days, and I was using Kirisakura kernel.
Edit: I just found out that there's a pretty big discussion going on with the FDE module on it's thread, same on the arter account on twitter. It's possible that this is the cause of the issue

I also feel that it's the issue, although I was using the FDE.AI app, so I guess both methods of installation can cause it. After the nth time resetting my phone, I just changed kernels and uninstalled FDE.AI and for a solid week now I've been booting fine.
Edit: wow I just looked at the thread and it looks like something went down over there.
I am running Dev Preview 1 on my Pixel 4 XL.
I decided to try out the DSU Loader within the Developer Options. It downloaded the GSI and rebooted, however on boot it immediately shows the message "Your device is corrupt. Yaddayadda". Pressing the power button and it just hangs at the Google boot logo forever.
Force reboot and it boots back into the corrupt error then bacl into Android as normal where i can then discard the DSU/GSI.
I still get the error on boot, but everything works as normal
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know how to get rid of the corrupt message without factory reset? Flashing the OTA file see doesn't get rid of it.
TL;DR tried the Dynamic System Update in R Dev Preview and ended up with corruption error on boot.

Force reboot and it boots back into the corrupt error then bacl into Android as normal where i can then discard the DSU/GSI.
I still get the error on boot, but everything works as normal
Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know how to get rid of the corrupt message without factory reset? Flashing the OTA file see doesn't get rid of it.
TL;DR tried the Dynamic System Update in R Dev Preview and ended up with corruption error on boot.

Nevermind!
You might need to wipe data in recovery, but if you don't want to lose your data then I'd suggest trying to roll back by using an OTA.zip

Have you tried booting a GSI yourself within the Developer Options? Any success?

The ROM I'm running is a GSI but I flashed it through recovery, not the web tool.

Hey
Pixel 3a user here. I've encountered exactly the same issue but I've not been able to fix it either.
I'm going to roll all the way back to Q later anyway, R is just a little too buggy still for me. (My banking app crashes and GPay thinks my phone is rooted)
Attempts at reflashing the DSU after discarding it result in... Nothing happening. So I'm at a total loss.
Attempting to flash the 11DP1 OTA again does not resolve the issue either. "Phone corrupt" warning every time.
Apparently the Android 11 GSI is signed with the Android Q public keys....hence why it won't boot. Apparently this has been fixed in AOSP and hopefully is included in DP2.
Not sure if DP2 OTA will fix the corrupt error or not. I might wait it out to see as rolling back to Android 10 for me is a pain. Luckily my bank app still works for tap n pay so o use that instead of Google Pay for now.

That was silly of them!
Perhaps I'll hold off then for DP2 and see if it fixes the majority of my problems rather than doing a wipe and rollback.
I think it's expected early March, right?
Also, if it's an issue with signing keys, surely just flashing the DP1 OTA atop it should fix that?

The DP1 OTA apparently contains the wrong keys for the GSI, so flashing that doesn't fix it.

Yeah, I reread other posts and that makes sense.
I ended up rolling back to 10, too many niggles in 11DP1 at the moment.
The corrupt error on boot is resolved in build rpp1.200123.020 released today.
I haven't tried to boot a GSI yet, but at least the error is fixed when booting normally.
EDIT: Tried booting the GSI again from Developer Options - ended up with same corrupt error again...

Yes I have a (BLU G91 MAX ANDROID 11) and the same thing shows up on mine but I have to leave my bootloader unlocked because when it was locked and I installed dynamic system update when I restarted I got the same message press power button within 5s to. Boot but when my bootloader was locked I was a lot of apps weren't working and auto rotate screen didn't work until I unlocked the bootloader but still to this day I still have the message but everything working but I would love to get rid of the problem so I can close my bootloader

Is anyone else having an issue where their device will randomly reboot, and then when it boots back up it boots to a stock wallpaper and is endlessly stuck on "Pixel is Starting"? I know one time through a combination of rebooting I got it to work and boot again, but the last time it happened and this time I had to factory reset my device (Fully, not just a data wipe) and I want to know if it's my hardware or something I flashed? I do have the Hardware Off module and this never happened until after I flashed that module.
When this happens too data totally fails to decrypt, so I want to think it's the Hardware Off Module messing with encryption somehow, but idk.

How did you "fully" reset your device? If you didn't fastboot flash a full factory image allowing a full wipe then you should go back and start there. If you already did that, I would run it rooted but no modules for a day or two. You probably already identified the culprit, but this would rule out/in a hardware issue and confirm the module was at fault.

Other than the first time in which I managed to somehow get out of it, I flashed the full factory image to both slots along with issuing the commaand to format userdata.
