Very much OT, but maybe it’s worth a shot... I wasn’t able to do a full backup of my Galaxy (encrypted, stock, unrooted) so installed TWRP. Now I’m stuck in the infamous boot loop and can’t get out. Knox is tripped. I kind of really need to get in to get some files in there. Should have known better but it’s a bit frustrating that it was precisely trying to perform a backup that made this happen. Can’t find stock firmware anywhere and even if I did I’m not sure if it’s possible to flash it without wiping ...

I don’t suppose anything rings a bell?

Sorry to hear that, I've been in the same situation for too many times now. Yeah, recovering your files at that stage is very likely impossible.

You can get your stock firmware easily though, with any of these tools:

Frija (GUI, recommended): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-frija-samsung-firmwa...

Samloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-samloader-samfirm-fr...
