lineageos 21.0-20241216 nightly update on moto one 5g ace (kiev) boot loop (lemmy.ml)

Anyone with a moto one 5g ace (kiev) that performed OTA update recently and got a boot loop out of it?

I use lineageos for microG, which is based on lineageos, and Today got an OTA update which I can't matches the same version as the one on lineage, but after attempting the reboot required by the update, the phone gets into a boot loop.

I haven't found a way to get out of the loop without losing data. Downgrading doesn't help, no matter if a major upgrade is attempted.

It looks to me this could be rather lineageos issue, since I got a past experience with a pixel 4a (5g), and at that time I lost all data attempting a factory reset that didn't even help at all. Later there came an update from lineageos, which I manually installed, and got the phone back, though with all data lost. This time I'd like to avoid losing data.

Any help or hint is appreciated.

If you boot into bootloader mode with the hardware buttons like volume up and power or whatever, you might be able to dirty flash the phone again and get it to boot. But that would probably at least if nothing else wipe out Google Play Services unless you tried all the flashing instructions again. I want to say you might be able to put in the pin somewhere and possibly even access the data from the hard drive, but I won't swear to that.

I attempted already installing by hand, meaning doing an adb sideload. That's what I meant when I said I attempted to downgrade, of course I also tried sideloading the same version that lead to the boot loop just in case. I haven't tried doing a factory reset, but I really would like to avoid it.

I don't use google play, I use lineageos for microg, and even so, I avoid google services, since most my apps come from f-droid. Regardless, losing the data is really a bad thing, and all apps configurations and such.

In the future it may be worth taking a backup
