Iphone XS storage full on bootloop want to update software no restore!

My Iphone XS is on a bootloop and is showing error 14. I dont have anything backed up (I know stupid of me- I thought it was backing up to iCloud this whole time and it was not!) and it does not allow me to update my software. Is there any other way besides restoring? Like any other iPhone data loss user, I would do anything to retain my data =( I called a 3rd party data recovery agency and they had no luck either with Error 14 and it meant my storage was full. Also if I keep trying does it cause data corruption? Please help.

I know none of you want to hear this.. and I'll make some people mad.. but if you lose years of precious data because you didn't back up your devices for so long.. it's really on you, not Apple. Whether it's your phone, or a camera with an SD card or your computer. YOU NEED TO BACK UP YOUR DATA. This is not a new concept. Hardware fails and software can have bugs. Phones are no different.
