OnePlus 3 Won't Boot Please help

Hey all,

 

Today I noticed that my oneplus 3 was using a ridiculous amount of battery ( I charged it to 100% and it said I had 3 hours left) I did some research and found out it was android and system or something like that using all my battery. The guide I found said to try turning off google backup and erase the cache for android system, so I did that and then decided to rebood my phone just in case some odd bug was causing my CPU to run at full speed or something.

 

Now the problem is it won't boot back up. My phone is bone stock, the only non stock thing about it is that I'm in the program to get updates more often. Anyway... I'm able to boot into the stock recovery so I did that and tried deleting cache and system settings and my phone still won't boot. So basically I need to know if it's possible to get my pictures off of the phone before they're gone forever or if there's a way to get the darn thing to boot even if it's just long enough to get my picture off. I can't remember if I have any kind of online backup for my pictures so I really don't want to delete them unless I've tried everything.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well @Vengeance1020 it shows the powered by android logo, and then it starts to boot the OS normally, problem is the dots never stop spinning.

 

@Droidbot They're not in google photos :( last local backup I did was December.

How long have you let it run in the boot? More than 5 minutes indicates a problem. My tablet had a similar issue where it would be stuck in boot splash screen and never get out, I have taken normal steps such as wiping cache in recovery and that didn't do it. After performing a wipe of data, the tablet worked but as any standard wipe of data goes, the user data is removed as well. If you had a custom recovery like TWRP, you could wipe data without wiping the user files in that data folder. Since you have already tried wiping cache I would try fastboot (or more commonly ADB) and work your way through the filesystem (assuming that is possible, I have not yet tried it) and getting your files off. There are other things you can do with fastboot but I have limited knowledge on fastboot, you will have to do some google searches and maybe someone here may know a few commands you can run. Try to avoid wiping data at all costs, it is a last resort

@Vengeance1020

 

I let it go for well over 5 minutes a few times now I don't think it'll come around on its own. Do you think it's even possible to get into my files since my phone is password protected? Also, it may be possible to install TWRP via fastboot if my phone will cooperate . I'm not sure if fastbood is even an option though since I didn't enable USB debugging.

 

 

Thanks for the help guys

Hmm, that could be troublesome. I would give it a try anyway and see if the device cooperates. If not then you may just have to wipe.
