Wanted: Android data recovery service.

[randomness]

My phone is still in boot loop. I posted about this problem in passing on August 21. Nothing about the phone has changed.

I still have many images and some text messages I would like to recover from it. I am willing to pay someone to get them back for me.

If you have had good experiences with a service and you would like to recommend them, please let me know.

Thanks for your reply! Sorry it's taken a bit to get back to you. I'd call myself a middle-level Android user; I hadn't wanted to root the device though I'd considered it. I didn't care enough to mess with a custom ROM, and while the adoptable storage kludge drove me nuts it didn't frustrate me enough to go and root the phone.

With the caveat that I haven't touched it in a couple of months pending handing it off to a recovery service, here's are some of the details:

My phone, a Moto E 2nd Gen (XT 1521) was running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, received as a standard over-the-air OS upgrade from Motorola. I have done a lot of research, but all my attempts to get it out of boot loop including rebooting it from recovery mode have failed.

For a while I was able to get it into "black screen of death" if I booted it from recovery mode. I was even able, if I moved quickly, to get it from recovery mode to reboot into safe mode. This was vaguely amusing because I then got a black screen with nothing but a "safe mode" indicator in the lower left hand corner. However, that was a temporary situation.

I was never able to get the phone to mount as a volume on any of my computers after it got stuck in a boot loop.

Yeah the only thing I'd be able to think of to do is to see if I could use adb to reboot it into recovery mode and get it to stay there, or to reboot into the bootloader. But if it goes straight into the boot loop on power-up, that's not likely.
