If anyone from Germany is interested in figuring out what the issue is and can risk losing their data, feel free to ping me on libera IRC. I have the ability to desolder and dump the UFS memory to start some investigation.

I’ve got a Pixel 3 (non-XL) with a cracked screen that’s been sitting on my desktop for two years now I’m willing to part with.

Have you tried asking on Reddit or the XDA forums? r/Andriod and r/googlepixel might have a bigger audience than HN.
