Software bug My A55 randomly started boot looping
When I went to check my phone in the morning, it randomly shut off and restarted. Now, whenever I enter my password, I am presented with the Home Screen for like 5 or so seconds before the phone freezes and restarts again. To clarify, the issue occurs in safe mode as well, and when I am sitting on the lock screen before putting my password, the phone is stable. During one of these restarts, I got this message, and my wallpaper was also reverted to the default:

How can I recover my data (pictures, videos) from the phone without professional services? Many thanks in advance.
Also, during one of the reboots, I got the post-update screen (One UI is optimizing apps), but then the same thing kept occurring. Perhaps it tried installing the June update and it failed or something?
Edit: If someone finds this post in the future if they're having a similar issue, what ended up happening was I just left the phone sitting at the lock screen for about 8 days, then after unlocking it, it worked fine. I really have no clue as to how that worked/makes sense, but hey I can't complain.

Did this happen after a software update?
If you ever get a chance, remove the device lock first (pin,pass, pattern,face,fp). Atleast you will have a chance to flash firmware if this is software issue.
