Help needed - LineageOS20

Hello, everybody. I have a little problem. I somehow managed to mess up an update of LineageOS20. I’m now in LineageOS recovery. The only thing I need are some photos and the Aegis backup. The problem is, that I don’t have access to some folders. I tried to “./adb pull /sdcard/„ but it says something along the lines of “0 files found 0skipped”. I just need the keys and photos. Likewise, I currently don’t have any kind of Laptop or Notebook, just my Steam-Deck bit adb works surprisingly well on it. I do not have any access to LineageOS at all, I can only access the bootloader and Recovery. Can I just update Lineage OS via the recovery and keep the data?

You should be able to fastboot boot TWRP which will let you decrypt your data. The LineageOS recovery just doesn’t decrypt data nor prompt for pin/password to decrypt it.

I think you should be able to just LOS again as if it was an update from the recovery (make sure to also flash Gapps and other addons you had, as flashing from recovery does NOT preserve anything and booting without Gapps if you had them will permanently wreck some state.

I’d use TWRP to decrypt and pull out the data for safety, then you can try flashing LOS again.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can use TWRP to access your files.

Steam Deck is a PC in every sense of the word.
